The capital plans to change the traffic pattern on the Southern Arterial Road to ensure unimpeded vehicle movement on the section from Barpy Alykulova Street to 7 Aprel Street.
Multi-level intersections and new crossings
According to Abdyzhabarpkul Zhanbolotov, acting director of the Mayor's Office Department of Transport and Road Transport Infrastructure Development, the municipality plans to reconstruct all intersections on this route by making them multi-level. This will eliminate the need for stops at traffic lights.
To ensure citizen safety, authorities intend to build underground and overground crossings so that pedestrians can cross the highway without relying on traffic light regulation.
