9 minutes instead of 12–13 minutes: "Green wave" launched on another street in Tashkent
On a 6-kilometer section of Tashkent's Farg'ona Yo'li Street, 13 traffic lights have been coordinated into a "green wave" system. According to measurements by the Traffic Management Center, the time required to travel this distance during off-peak hours has decreased by approximately 25 percent.
9 minutes instead of 12–13 minutes: "Green wave" launched on another street in Tashkent
The system has been implemented on the route from the "Qoyliq Ota" shrine after the Qoyliq bridge to OzBUM and operates 24 hours a day.
According to the center, residents had repeatedly requested the adjustment of a "green wave" on this street. Following this, specialists synchronized the operation of traffic lights on this section.
Measurements showed that while it previously took 12–13 minutes to travel this route during non-peak hours, approximately 9 minutes is now sufficient.
A "green wave" does not mean that the light is always green at all intersections. Traffic lights are adjusted so that when a driver travels at the designated speed, they can pass through as many intersections as possible on a green light.
The system's task is to reduce the number of stops at red lights, organize a steady flow of traffic, and shorten travel time.
Fargona Yoli Street is one of the main transport corridors entering the capital. A large flow of vehicles coming from the Qoyliq direction is distributed towards the central part of the city through this street.
Specialists are monitoring traffic movement throughout the day. If necessary, additional changes will be made to the operating modes of the traffic lights.
