For example, the program envisions placing information boards along roadways that display data on at least nine parameters, including weather conditions, ongoing repair work, and the overall road situation. These boards are designed to help drivers pick the best routes and steer clear of traffic bottlenecks.
Smart display boards that update in real time will be installed on major urban roads and streets across areas with continuous traffic. These boards will cover at least half of the roadway length in zones where there are no regulated intersections or pedestrian crossings, ensuring visibility for a large portion of travelers and reducing the time spent on decisions at peak moments.
Implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) is advancing in urban agglomerations with populations exceeding 300,000. The program reaches dozens of cities across multiple regions, reflecting a nationwide effort to modernize urban mobility. It includes centers in numerous regions, spanning diverse geographical areas and economic profiles, from mountainous districts to expansive plains, with cities chosen for their traffic density and growth potential. The plan demonstrates a coordinated approach to upgrading infrastructure, prioritizing safety, efficiency, and comfort for residents and visitors alike.
The surge in city traffic has underscored the need for fresh, practical solutions that protect people and make daily travel more predictable and pleasant. Across all participating areas, authorities are aligning funding and policy to support this shift toward safer, smarter streets and better rider and driver experiences in busy urban cores.
The federal budget provides a substantial allocation to back these efforts, signaling strong governmental commitment to infrastructure modernization and urban mobility improvements in the near term.
