Pedestrian crossings with flush kerbs will appear in Chernigov
These transitions will perform two functions, in fact the pedestrian crossing and a speed bump. In comparison with conventional "Zebra", the new design is much safer for pedestrians and drivers. "Above the level of the road such crossings will rise to the level of the curbs. Drivers in any case have to reduce speed before "a Zebra". And at the same time, the speed limiter on the road the vehicle will cross much more comfortable, because the increase will have a significant width," - said Yaroslav Kuts, head of the Department of housing and communal services. In addition, the crosswalk is supposed to equip with a special light that works at night. It will be an additional factor that will increase the safety of pedestrians on the road. The proposal for the establishment of such transitions was provided by activists of Cycling in Chernigov. Their idea received support from the city government. It should be noted that the elevated crossings are suitable for installation on all roads. First and foremost, they are placed in areas with unregulated traffic, near schools, recreational and tourist areas, and in areas of high risk. In Chernihiv are now planning to install two elevated pedestrian crossings: on the street. Hetman Polubotko, from school No. 3 to the Park and on the street. Shevchenko – from the square to St. Serezhnikova. Equipment elevated pedestrian crossings is part of a project of capital repairs of a paving vul. Shevchenko and Hetman Polubotko street. The location of the transitions of new design not chosen by chance – as noted, close to educational institution and public garden, which is now rekonstruiruet. Even in Kiev of such structures not more than 20. The picture shows it is the capital of the transitions. Like soon should appear and in Chernigov.
