Drivers on Volgogradskaya Circle Street ask for a traffic light installation
New and Improved Traffic Flow Proposal for Omsk
Locals in Omsk welcomed a new idea from an anonymous social media user who suggested installing a traffic signal at the exit from the ring road onto Volgogradskaya Street. The user posted their idea in "Accident-prone Omsk" on the popular social network "VKontakte".
"Dear administration, I'd like to propose a solution for safety at this exit: either segregate traffic lanes or install a traffic light," the post reads.
It appears this location experiences a high number of accidents due to lane misalignments, and the user hopes a traffic signal can solve this issue.
