In the
morning, the Green Wave operates in the direction of the city center, and in
the evening - in the opposite direction.
Thanks to
the synchronization of traffic lights, it was possible to significantly reduce
the travel time on the site. So, from the Tura Buva Mosque to Salom Street, the
average travel time decreased from 8.5 to 6 minutes - by 29%.
In the
opposite direction, from Salom Street to the Tura Buva Mosque, the travel time
was reduced from 10 to 8 minutes, that is, by 20%.
For the
effective operation of the "Green Wave", it is important for drivers
to follow the Rules of the road and the established speed limit. When driving
along the specified section at a speed of 40-60 km/h, most intersections can be
passed almost without stopping at a red traffic light.
Currently,
specialists from the Traffic Management Center are also conducting calculations
and developing projects to implement the Green Wave system on other streets of
Tashkent equipped with smart traffic lights.
