Smart people in Japan used this project for the same goal many years ago!!! Imagine, what the government bureaucrats said…Moscow without traffic jams is not Moscow!

At the average each Moscowite spends 4-5 hours in a traffic jam a day to reach the place of work and come back home.

There is nothing to add…

The city was attacked by the December snowfall. The situation on Moscow roads, which is always busy during these hours, was complicated because of the many small accidents. Movement is difficult in almost all tracks. Flow rate was no more than 1-2 miles per hour. mos_win_img_006 mos_win_img_003 At 2 am, in the middle of the night, a lot of people were still spending time in traffic jams, trying to come back home. Special cars of Moscow melted 22 thousand cubic meters of snow at night. Can you believe that it was 10 degrees above zero two days ago?! mos_win_img_005
