Previously, there were traffic jams on the M-4 “Don” highway in the summer period. But this year, due to the closure of airports and flights to some countries, the number of people who want to go to the south of Russia by car has increased by about 30%. At the same time, traffic congestion also increased.
This year, the time drivers spend getting to sea cities has increased to an average of one day. Whereas before it took about 5-18 hours. Such calculations with the agency RIA News shared the chairman of the National Union of the Horeca Alexei Volkov.
Road repairs create additional obstacles for tourists. Due to numerous constrictions, the flow of the route is reduced. The largest traffic jams are recorded in the regions of Voronezh and Rostov, Goryachiy Klyuch, Krasnodar and Novorossiysk.
In order to get out of this situation, according to the expert, it is necessary to adjust the planning of road works. For example, to carry out repairs only at night, when there are fewer cars on the highway.
Another proposal from the expert is the need to improve road infrastructure along the southern route. In his opinion, it is necessary to attract investors for the creation of high-quality food and recreation facilities.
