The Department of Transport of the Bishkek City Hall proposes to change the procedure for parking cars on the roadway.
According to the press service of the City Hall, the main goal of the innovations is to ensure free passage on the streets where medical and educational institutions are located.
«During the upcoming changes, drivers will be asked to park parallel to the roadway, especially in the city center,» the City Hall noted, adding that to date parked cars can occupy three out of five lanes.
Parking restrictions and permits will be introduced in different parts of the city.
«An example of the successful implementation of such an initiative is Erkindik Boulevard. After introducing parking restrictions on one side and a ban on the other, the traffic problem has significantly reduced,» the municipality added.
Appropriate regulation measures will be introduced on one-way streets to prevent traffic jams and ensure smooth traffic flow.
