Revised road signs in Almaty will now be colored red.
Almaty's cops plan to shake things up on the roads, as they announce the experimental use of red markings for safety islands on perceived danger zones.
Jandos Murataliev, Almaty City Administrative Police Department head, reveals the department's belief that this unconventional move, focusing drivers' attention on accident-prone areas, could significantly improve road safety.
The red markings will be applied on several high-risk sections across the city, including:
- Kuldzhinsky tract from Prospekt Ryskulov to Bukhtarminskaya Street (divider)
- Al-Farabi Avenue - Luganskaya Street, turnaround lane, in the zone of intersecting traffic flows
- Al-Farabi Avenue between Nazarbayev Avenue and Zapadny Zheltuksan Street (north side)
- Seifullin Avenue from Rayymbek Avenue to Toboikhanov Street
- Maylin Street - Bukhtarminskaya Street (Ozero Circle)
- Al-Farabi Avenue - Mustafin Street, exits on the transport interchange
- Al-Farabi Avenue at the intersections with Shashkina Street and Markov Street
While concrete data on the effectiveness of such measures specific to Almaty is limited, general practices suggest that highlighting hazardous areas with visibility-boosting markings may contribute to reduced accidents. But remember, such outcomes are often context-dependent.
In case you're wondering about Polisia.kz's take on this, it appears that official information on red markings and their impact on road safety in the city isn't currently available through their platform. To get the whole picture, consultation with relevant municipal traffic authorities would be advisable.
