Multifunctional road service area
Active work on developing comfortable service for road users continues in Russia. In particular, a network of the most modern multifunctional road service zones (MFZ) is being created on high-speed highways. Thus, at the 25th km of the far western bypass of Krasnodar on the M-4 “Don”, two mirror MFZs were opened on both sides of the road. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.
“We annually update the existing road network and open new sections of expressways, stimulating the dynamic development of the economies of the regions in their area of attraction. With the expansion and improvement of the road network, the number of highway users also increases. In addition, in recent years, more and more people have been going on long trips by car. In order for them to be comfortable, we are building multifunctional road service zones. These facilities have already become an integral part of the road infrastructure. Thus, the first MFS were opened at the 25th km of the far western bypass of Krasnodar. In the direction to Moscow, the MFS includes a petrol station and an operator’s building with a sales area and terraces. On the opposite side (in the direction of Novorossiysk), a petrol station has also been launched, and by the summer season, it is planned to prepare a flagship service building, including a convenience store, a pharmacy, food outlets, as well as a children’s play area, a mother and child room and a sanitary block with a shower and laundry. Thanks to the new MFD, trips to the Black Sea along the M-4 “Don” high-speed highway will become even more comfortable and safer for both families and professional drivers,” said Marat Khusnullin.
The territory of both multifunctional zones provides comfortable parking for passenger and freight vehicles, as well as children’s and sports grounds, and an area for walking pets.
For passenger cars, fuel dispensers are installed under a canopy, and for trucks and buses – high-speed ones. Mobile payment services are provided, helping to reduce queues during peak holiday season days.
According to the Chairman of the Board of the state company Avtodor, Vyacheslav Petushenko, stops at the new multifunctional zones will allow for quality rest on the road and recuperation.
“We are creating a roadside service that becomes a place of attraction for users of our roads. This is due to the fact that we build MFPs taking into account their needs. In this way, we care about the comfort, safety and convenience of drivers and passengers. At roadside service facilities, you can use all the necessary services so that people feel more confident when traveling long distances. MFPs on our highways have become a space where you can fully relax and hit the road with renewed strength. And this significantly increases safety on roads with heavy traffic, such as the M-4 “Don” highway,” noted Vyacheslav Petushenko.
The road network of the state company Avtodor has innovative multifunctional zones: traffic flows are separated by types of vehicles (passenger and freight) on their territory, a large comfortable pedestrian core and bus infrastructure have been created. Due to zoning and separation of flows in modern multifunctional zones, the safety of drivers and pedestrians is ensured.
