In Tashkent, a traffic light was reinstalled after the death of a pedestrian. There are still many such crossings

In Tashkent, another pedestrian has died at an unregulated crossing. Around 3:00 PM on October 22, a 20-year-old female student was struck on the Small Ring Road, near the "Farkhad" auto parts market.

The Traffic Safety Department of the Tashkent City Police Department reported that a 20-year-old driver was at the wheel of a Chevrolet Onix.

It is also reported that the young woman died in the hospital. Camera footage shows the car dragging her on its hood for dozens of meters, and after it stopped, she was thrown several meters away.

The very next day, traffic lights appeared at the crossing. The authorities had not done this earlier, even though there are numerous shops on both sides of the road, residential buildings, and a university located nearby.

Once again, a traffic light has become a monument to a deceased person. There are still very many such crossings in Tashkent and throughout Uzbekistan.

The fence hastily installed in the middle of the road during the winter, as was obvious, did not help prevent the traffic accident. The crash only confirmed the erroneousness of that decision.

"Gazeta.uz" reported that the installation of fences had stopped, but they still remain in various parts of the city, limiting visibility for both pedestrians and drivers.

The question of whether anyone will be held accountable for the deaths of people due to improper traffic management will remain open as long as conditions on streets and roads are created primarily for cars.
