Today, in the capital, according to road project curators of TSDD, 52 diagonal pedestrian crossings have been set up. In Moscow, 52 diagonal pedestrian crossings were established.
Consensus
- Moscow has installed 52 diagonal pedestrian crossing points across all administrative districts.
- Diagonal crossings allow pedestrians to cross intersections in one traffic light cycle, reducing travel time.
- Special markings and dedicated pedestrian phases in traffic signals are used for these crossings.
- The installations aim to improve safety for both pedestrians and drivers.
- Crossings are placed only at intersections with high pedestrian flow where they do not cause additional vehicle delays.
- Specialists from the Center for Traffic Organization (COTD) analyze traffic and pedestrian flows before implementation.
- The project began experimentally in 2014 with the first crossing installed in the South-Eastern Administrative District.
- In 2026, around 300 new ground-level crossings are planned across Moscow.
Points of divergence
- The diagonal crossing at the intersection of Sushchevsky Val and October Street has improved access to nearby schools, kindergartens, and shops. — ntv
- Traffic flow near the 'Tepliy Stan' metro station became almost twice as fast due to signal reconfiguration. — vm
- Nine diagonal crossings are planned for 2026 in the Troeparevo-Nikulino district at the intersection of Trparyevskaya Street and Academician Anokhin Street, based on citizen requests. — m24
