Improving traffic safety is one of the key objectives of the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, which ended in 2024. To achieve this, the regions equipped pedestrian crossings, installed traffic lights and road signs, and carried out work to form a culture of behavior on the roadway, said Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“In recent years, the country has seen an increase in traffic intensity on the roads: the volume of freight transportation is increasing, the mobility of citizens is improving. In this regard, the key task for us remains not only to bring the roads into a regulatory condition, but also to ensure the safety of all road users. Over the six years of implementing the national project “Safe High-Quality Roads”, which has completed its work, over 13 thousand traffic lights, 963 thousand road signs, 4.9 million linear meters of barriers and 1.4 million linear meters of pedestrian fences have been installed in the regions. In addition, over 3.1 million linear meters of lighting have been installed, 103.7 million linear meters of road markings have been applied. We will continue to work in this direction within the framework of the new national project “Infrastructure for Life”, – said Marat Khusnullin.
An integrated approach to road repair is one of the features of the national project.
“Implementation of measures to ensure road safety is a major joint effort of road workers and the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate: work plans are drawn up to minimize accident sites, and traffic management projects are developed. In 2024 alone, thanks to the national project, specialists installed more than 136 thousand road signs, 893 traffic lights, 701 thousand linear meters of barriers and 168 thousand linear meters of pedestrian fences, placed more than 1.1 thousand pedestrian crossings and over 1.2 thousand stopping points. They equipped 761 thousand linear meters of sidewalks, 335 thousand linear meters of lighting and 1082 speed bumps. They also applied over 10 thousand linear meters of markings. In addition, 4688 linear meters of rumble strips appeared at the national project sites,” said Transport Minister Roman Starovoit.
When planning road works, special attention is paid to improving child safety.
“In 2024 alone, 920 sections of routes to educational and children’s leisure facilities were brought up to standard. Their total length is 3.1 thousand km. These are streets in populated areas, as well as sections of regional and inter-municipal roads where school buses run. But educational work is no less important for reducing road traffic injuries: it is necessary to develop safe behavior skills on the roads from childhood. In particular, with the support of the national project, the All-Russian online Olympiad “Safe Roads” was held since 2020. In the past 2024, almost 5.5 million children took part in it. And over five years, 20.8 million participants tested and consolidated their knowledge of traffic rules,” said Igor Kostyuchenko, Deputy Head of the Federal Road Agency.
In 2024, 24.1 km of sidewalks and 23.6 km of outdoor lighting lines were installed along regional highways within the boundaries of populated areas in the Samara Region. The longest of them, 7.74 km long, were built in the village of Zhiguli in the Stavropol Region during the major repairs of the Ural-Zhiguli-Pionerlager road.
In the Moscow Region, from 2019 to 2024, thanks to the national project, 720 km of sidewalks and 415 km of outdoor lighting lines were built, more than 1.2 thousand traffic lights were installed and modernized, over 550 thousand linear meters of fences of various types, 2.5 thousand speed bumps were installed, 600 new pedestrian crossings were organized, and another 5.3 thousand existing ones were equipped with lighting and projection.
In the Kostroma Region, during the entire period of the national project implementation, more than 65 thousand linear meters of barrier fencing, over 13 thousand signal posts, about 16 thousand signs and six traffic lights were installed at regional road facilities alone. For safe movement at night, more than 65 thousand linear meters of artificial lighting lines were installed on the highways. Thanks to the national project, the problem of lighting of all settlements located on the Ostrovskoye-Zavolzhsk, Kostroma-Susanino-Buy, Kostroma-Nerekhta highways was solved.
