Don't waste time sitting in a traffic jam - use the online map of traffic jams in Moscow and the Moscow region for free! Right now, a map with Moscow traffic jams will help you monitor the city’s traffic situation. Condition and speed of traffic flow on the Moscow MKAD online on the inside and outside. The speed of a traffic jam on Yaroslavskoye and Kievskoye highways. Having seen in advance where the current traffic jams are on the city’s roads, you can plot a route avoiding the congestion. On the map: the degree of road congestion in points and color; speed of traffic flow in traffic jams in kilometers per hour; accident sites (accidents) and traffic jams; places of repair work; images from Moscow traffic cameras. An online map with traffic jams on Moscow roads will help you with all this.

Traffic jams

Nowadays traffic jams in Moscow are horrendous. On Yandex maps online you can often see red roads due to Moscow traffic jams, not only within the roads. But also to monitor the increased traffic congestion in the Moscow region, almost throughout the entire territory of the Moscow region. By looking in advance at a map of the city's road conditions, you can save travel time and fuel. Most often, and perhaps even today, traffic jams form in directions from Moscow along highways to Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod and St. Petersburg. We recommend finding out in advance whether there are traffic jams to Kaluga, Tver, Tula, Sergiev Posad, Zelenograd, Solnechnogorsk, Cheboksary, Rostov-on-Don, Vladimir, Ryazan, Klin, Ivanovo, Kolomna, Lakinsk and Dmitrov.

The busiest destinations now

Leningradka, popularly called Leningradka, is famous for its particular workload. Traffic to Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports is often difficult. Traffic is often difficult on the ring road, along Entuziastov Street, and Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Traffic congestion occurs on almost all highways: Yaroslavskoye, Kievskoye, Leningradskoye, Novoryazanskoye, Kaluga, Warsaw, Dmitrovskoye, Kashirskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Zvenigorodskoye, Pyatnitsky. Traffic jams are also found in cities of the Moscow region, such as: Khimki, Lakinsk, Balashikha, Fryazino, Chekhov, Odintsovo, Shchelkovo, Noginsk and Podolsk.

See right now on the traffic jam map what the traffic situation is along your route. By looking at the map, you can find out what is happening on the roads in the city center, why there is a traffic jam on the road, and find out what is happening at the exit and entrance to Moscow. The map will show obstacles and their causes that may occur along the way.

Traffic jams in real time on the Yandex map in cities

Convenient viewing of city routes using Yandex traffic maps, monitoring highway congestion in Moscow, the Moscow region and any other city in Russia.
A clear understanding of the situation on city roads gives the driver the opportunity to bypass traffic jams and get to their destination in the shortest possible time. Yandex provides a unique opportunity to monitor traffic congestion online in any locality. Using a map on your computer or phone monitor, you can find out about the traffic situation in your city at any time and determine a convenient route.

The maximum saving of travel time is the quality of the Yandex traffic jam service.

Traffic jams often steal precious minutes of time from car owners. Residents of megacities can manage to get into them several times a day, because the number of cars on the roads is large and every motorist, after purchasing a car, is unlikely to use another type of transport. With the Yandex traffic jam service on the map, a lot of time is saved, and the trip turns into an interesting journey without interference.

A virtual map helps you to see in time all the obstacles on the way, the intensity of congestion on the roads of Moscow and suburban areas. The uniqueness of the service is that it works around the clock, providing its users with the necessary information at any time. There are constant updates of information about the congestion of any highway, so the risk of being stuck in a traffic jam due to outdated news is completely eliminated.

A convenient navigation map service provides vehicle drivers with the necessary tool that serves as an auxiliary tool in the fight against traffic jams. The quality of Yandex service has been tested by many grateful motorists. A simple way to check your route makes the road safer and makes it possible to get to your final destination much faster.

Reducing gasoline consumption, time and nerves on the road using the Yandex traffic jam network service is most important in winter, when the passage of vehicles can be difficult due to snow.

Megacities such as Moscow are characterized by a high pace of life and movement. Road routes can become congested with heavy traffic, especially during rush hours when people are traveling to work or returning home. Just look at the traffic jams in Moscow now on the Yandex map to keep abreast of all the latest events on the streets of this city. In addition to Moscow, the map displays all other settlements and their districts.

Online road navigation simplifies the route and makes it easier for the taxi driver to deliver his passenger to the place quickly and comfortably. It is easy to use, anyone can open a browser, find a site with a Yandex map, view all road surfaces, and mark convenient routes. Among the advantages of this method of bypassing interference, it is worth noting the reduction in gasoline consumption, which is noticeably and uselessly spent when caught in a traffic jam.

Online road maps are a useful tool for motorists. They provide invaluable assistance to every car owner in moving along city central roads. It is the central parts of the city that are most often subject to a large influx of traffic during the day and evening hours. An easy search for a free path online helps you save time and accomplish more tasks assigned that day.

In those areas where the Barmashstreet device will be installed, the formation of “traffic jams” is impossible in principle: the device will not allow the number of cars in the area to exceed the limit value determined by the design value. Cars can travel along them at the maximum speed allowed in the city.

The proposed device allows you to create a city map of a network of areas where the absence of traffic jams is guaranteed at any time. The network map will be published in the media, including the Internet. Using it, each driver will be able to choose a route along which a significant part of the journey will take place within the network, thereby protecting himself as much as possible from getting stuck in traffic jams. Moving a car within the network allows you to reach your final destination without hindrance, within the estimated time. The use of this traffic light device, which guarantees the complete absence of traffic jams on the roads, creates good preconditions for the creation in the future of a fully automated traffic control system for road transport in the city. The entire road transport system of a large metropolis (as paradoxical as it sounds at present) can be transferred to control from a single remote control.

The formation of traffic jams on the roads leads to high costs.

Many firms and government agencies are expressing their readiness to spend large amounts of money on the construction of additional roads and structures that would eliminate traffic jams.

The main goal is to create a system of urban traffic that would guarantee the absence of traffic jams. At the same time, the question is not even raised about whether this system will be simple or complex, and, accordingly, cheap or expensive. The main requirement is to guarantee the absence of traffic jams. The proposed measures (creation of surveillance systems, restriction and ban on the entry of certain types of vehicles at certain times, creation of reversible traffic lanes, allocation of special routes for public transport, simple expansion of existing roads and other similar measures) are not able to guarantee the absence of traffic jams. . Currently, there are no universal ways to prevent traffic jams.

At the same time, the tendency for car production to exceed the trend for the construction of urban highways will continue in the coming years.

The creation in the foreseeable future of a mode of transport alternative to road transport is unlikely.

The impact of the global economic crisis on traffic jams.

Let's analyze the impact of the global economic (including financial) crisis, which threatens to take over Russia, on the state of traffic jams.

The crisis will cause a reduction in car production at a number of enterprises. This will cause the price of cars to rise. Due to financial difficulties of both organizations and individuals, there will be a tendency for a slight reduction in the sale of cars on credit. This will contribute to some reduction in the production of cars on the roads. The factor can be considered as positive for reducing traffic jams.

At the same time, the consequence of the financial crisis will be a reduction in funds allocated for the reconstruction, expansion and construction of new roads. This will have a negative impact on traffic jams.

It is difficult to accurately calculate in advance which of these factors will prevail. However, past experience with the state of roads in Russia suggests that the construction and reconstruction of roads will continue to lag behind the need and, therefore, the financial crisis will deal another “blow” to the state of traffic jams.

Let's analyze the impact of volcanic dust that came out of an active volcano in Iceland in 2010 on traffic jams. This led to the temporary closure of almost all European airports. At the same time, the load on ground passenger transport services has increased, especially on intercity road (and rail) transport. Some passengers and cargo that previously preferred to be transported by aviation were now forced to be transported by road transport. The result is an increase in traffic jams.

The situation can only get worse over time. In order to avoid the ever-increasing already large material and other losses, it is urgent, now, to take “fire measures” that would not allow the situation with road traffic in cities to reach a crisis.

Traffic control system

Currently, the expression “a system for controlling traffic flows has been created” is widely used in reports and reports of leaders in the field of transport.

In fact, we are only talking about a system for monitoring traffic flows, since the control system necessarily includes regulation of traffic flow, and this in turn implies that the system has feedback.

It is necessary to constantly take into account the actual number of cars in the regulated area and constantly adjust the burning time of the permitting signal depending on various variable factors.

Variable factors that must be taken into account during the working day, as well as the season, and taking into account which the burning duration in the green signal operating cycle must be adjusted, are:

Times of Day

road illumination

atmospheric phenomena (snow, rain, fog, ice)

grip with the road surface.

Now, when the traffic light signal is switched only after a certain (mostly constant) time, such an adjustment does not occur. This negatively affects the optimal flow of traffic. In the absence of flow controllability and the lack of data on the actual congestion of a section at a given moment, making such adjustments manually for each section is very difficult.

Elements of automatic adjusting the burning time of the traffic light permitting signal. What is the Internet for?

To operate the traffic flow control device (TFDC), it is necessary to know the maximum permissible throughput for each section.

This value is variable and depends on a number of constant and variable factors. This value must be in the comparison block. It is used to compare the actual number of cars on the site with the permissible number. If this value is exceeded, the green traffic light (allowing cars into the area) switches to a red signal.

The capacity of each section is not constant.

It depends: on the topography of the site; on the number of turns (turns); on the width of the plot; on the quality of the road surface.

These parameters are constant for a given area; they can be taken into account in advance and, using tables or coefficients, taken into account when calculating the theoretical throughput of a given section.

A number of parameters are variable: wheel adhesion to the road (depending on the weather - ice, fog, rain).

These parameters cannot be taken into account in advance; they can change during the working day. The capacity of the site will also change. This variable value must be transferred to the comparing element - after all, it determines whether the green or red light will continue to be on at the traffic light for cars entering the area.

It is most convenient to transfer this variable value to the comparing element using the Internet (or GLONASS, GPS). To do this, a receiving device is installed in the comparing element, and the signal is transmitted to it from a separate transmitting device. It contains a program for taking into account variable factors depending on weather conditions.

For this purpose, the Barmashstreet device is specially equipped with an element for automatically adjusting the burning time of the permissive traffic light signal depending on changes in the above factors.

When installing this traffic light device on a ring road, “traffic jams” will also not form on it. At the entrance to each site, a counter for the number of vehicles arriving is installed.

“Extra” cars that could create “traffic jams” on the ring road will not be allowed into the regulated area.

Using this device, the problem of restricting the entry of non-resident vehicles into the territory of a metropolis and its environs at certain periods of time can be solved through purely technical (and not administrative-prohibitive) measures. Only the number of cars allowed through will not create traffic jams. For each section of the ring road, the most favorable time for entering the ring road is established (and published in advance).

Existing traffic rules, in essence, do not impose any restrictions on the maximum number of cars that can be on a given site at the same time. At the same time, exceeding this number leads to the formation of a “traffic jam”.

Drivers entering this area do not know whether they are “extra” or not. Perhaps, knowing this, they would not currently seek to enter this area, which is at the maximum capacity. But currently no one can provide them with such objective indicators. A “traffic jam” occurs when a large number of cars try to enter the area at the same time. If this process is “spaced out” over time, then a “traffic jam” will not form in this area.

The Barmashstreet device allows you to determine the level of load of the site at any time and, if necessary, make adjustments.

In order to prevent the formation of traffic jams due to the simultaneous start of traffic movement from the peripheral areas of the city towards the center, city authorities are taking, for example, measures to shift the start time of the working day for institutions located in the center. However, this quite reasonable measure has so far had little effect on the general condition of traffic jams in the city. It is impossible to legally prohibit the start of traffic in any direction in the city. It is necessary to take measures to ensure that drivers themselves refuse to start their journey at an “inconvenient” time.

Now, in the absence of regulated areas, drivers try to travel around the city as little as possible during the so-called “rush hours”, i.e. hours of greatest likelihood of getting stuck in a traffic jam. However, such “peak hours” are currently uncertain for each region, and even more so for each site. The range of their action over time is wide.

Contactless car counting sensor

Proposed traffic light density control device Barmashstreet uses a contactless sensor to count vehicles entering the site. This monitor is installed from above, above the flow of moving cars. This sensor does not care whether a car or truck has passed under it. Each of them will be recognized by the sensor as “one transport unit”. The number of units is important. If this device is installed, there is no need to issue special, often legally insufficiently justified restrictions (or bans) on the entry of trucks into the city center (except for environmental reasons), since now the presence of trucks in the regulated area does not create additional conditions for the formation of a traffic jam. If there is an extensive network of areas with controlled traffic density, it is possible to compile and publish a city map of such areas, indicating for each of them the most favorable time for transport to travel. Drivers will be able to calculate and select the optimal time to reach their final destination themselves (or using appropriate computer programs). The network of areas with controlled flow density can be activated only for a certain time, at a certain time of day or under certain weather conditions. The rest of the time, these areas can operate as regular traffic lights. Only a number of vehicles are allowed into the regulated area that does not exceed the design capacity of the area.

We will divide the entire road system into separate sections.

Since the number of cars and the number of roads is very large, when characterizing each of these objects it is advisable to switch to a virtual system.

Each site is assigned a personal identification number.

Each site is assigned a personal name - a personal identification number. For each section, the main indicators (length, maximum throughput) must be determined in advance. Each site can be found at any time using the Internet and its main parameters are indicated.

The location of each vehicle on the site at any point can be accurately determined using the GLONASS system.

Each car, in addition to the regular number (for registration with the traffic police), must have an officially registered, individual number on the Internet, by which it can always be found to receive or transmit the required information.

Each car has a device that allows you to transmit a signal to the Internet, and allows you to receive a signal from the Internet. This device starts working when the car engine is turned on. It comes with the car when it is sold.

The following information is received from the car: location of the car (determined, for example, using the GLONASS system);

technical data of the car (make, registered number in the traffic police);

driver information;

the vehicle's current speed.

Each site was previously assigned a personal name - a personal identification number.

At any time, at each site, the location of any vehicle registered on the Internet can be found and its main parameters can be indicated.

Information is supplied to the traffic light at the entrance of cars to this section: whether additional cars will be “superfluous” in terms of the throughput capacity of this section.

To be able to determine (to generate) this information, the Barmashstreet device is used, equipped with entry registration elements, as well as automatic means of quantitative accounting of transport units in a given area, allowing at any time to determine the actual number of vehicles in a given area, compare it with the permissible number and make adjustments to the flux density.

After determining the number of cars entering a given section and comparing it with the permissible number, it becomes clear: is it possible at the moment to allow additional cars into it or is it no longer possible, i.e. whether to allow further burning to enter the area with a green traffic light or not.

All of the above restrictions apply only to areas where traffic jams may occur. The remaining areas do not have to be included in the system. They can work as usual.

The city's transport system will have a fundamentally different character.

After the installation (implementation) of the Barmashstreet traffic light device on the roads, the city’s transport system will have a fundamentally different character.

On those roads where the Barmashstreet traffic light device will be installed, the formation of traffic jams is impossible in principle: the device will not allow the number of cars in the area to exceed the limit value determined by the calculated (design) value. “Extra” cars will not be allowed into the site. This is ensured by a counter for the number of incoming cars and a device that constantly compares the total number of cars on the site with their permissible number.

Thus, the use of the Barmashstreet device on a wide scale (for the entire transport system of the city) will allow the city to:

create a network of areas with controlled flow;

create and publish a city map of a network of areas where the absence of traffic jams is guaranteed at any time;

create a fully automated traffic control system for road transport in the city in the future;

it is possible to solve the problem of restricting the entry of non-resident vehicles into the territory of the metropolis and its environs at certain periods of time using purely technical (and not administrative-prohibitive) measures;

the road transport system of a large metropolis can be transferred to control from a single remote control.

This will not lead to a reduction in the overall capacity of city roads.

The network of areas with controlled traffic density will not lead to a reduction in the overall capacity of city roads.

Due to the absence of traffic jams and an increase in the number of areas capable of operating in the “green wave” mode, the average speed of vehicles will increase and may approach the maximum permissible speed for urban conditions. This significantly improves road productivity. Using the “green wave” mode improves the city’s ecology. The risk from the experimental implementation of the device is minimal (or reduced to zero). The implementation is carried out using currently operating traffic lights. When this device is connected to them, these traffic lights, in addition to regulating traffic in the traditional way, gain the ability to carry out their work taking into account the congestion of the areas to which they belong.

What could be the consequence of introducing the device?

Let's consider what will happen to transport, which, due to overload, will be temporarily blocked by traffic lights in areas where traffic jams may form. When will this transport be able to reach its destination?

Traffic in Moscow periodically resembles a general standstill or confrontation rather than the usual movement of transport. Not for nothing, in this metropolis it has long been the case that getting to work or another place can take a couple of hours, and this is considered a completely acceptable norm.

Traffic jams are the main characteristic of the city, which both permanent residents and guests of the capital talk about.

And indeed, from eight, or even seven, in the morning until late at night (about two o’clock), Moscow stands still. Traffic in Moscow is limited not only because of the large concentration of cars trying to drive in the right direction. For example, traffic jams on the ring road (Garden Ring) are often caused by road repairs, narrow streets with limited access from the multi-lane highway, improper parking and numerous accidents.

It is no secret that in the metropolis the driving style is far from polite and often legal, and the “cheap national taxi” only aggravates the situation along with the numerous minibus drivers who are trying to get through in the right direction regardless of any rules. Commercial urban transport also “sees nothing,” especially when parking for unloading in the city center, and tram lines are crowded with fast riders, so the clanging carriages can only ring demandingly or run over uninvited guests. By the way, now drivers of urban transport have the right to perform similar actions based on certain situations. But despite all these factors, the majority of traffic jams in Moscow are still caused by accidents, although not terrible, but taking time to wait for the traffic police and the arrival of insurance commissioners.

Cars in the metropolis are different, in most cases there is enough power under the hood for a quick start, overtaking and jerking, so on the outer and inner Moscow Ring Road (especially from the exit ramps), accidents are the norm. Drivers change lanes from lane to lane, which creates congestion; left turns from the extreme (high-speed) right lane are especially popular. Often in the most
In remote corners of our Motherland you can hear legends about Moscow traffic jams. Having driven through rush hour once, a driver from the outback can already claim a gold medal for endurance, courage and fearlessness. Parking interceptions do not really solve the problems of the center, however, traffic on the Moscow Ring Road is also busy and stagnant, so a detour along this transport route often does not give the desired result, despite the increased mileage and increased gasoline consumption.

Every Moscow resident who moves around the city on wheels begins his journey long before getting into the car. Modern Internet systems Yandex traffic jams accurately help you choose the route with the least losses. In addition, in Yandex traffic jams there is not only information for now, but also forecasts for several hours in advance. The same system is also used by popular radio stations that play in car interiors, where drivers themselves often call and report the situation on the roads. A similar service is also provided on Yandex traffic jams, where you can read comments from standing motorists online. Such information can now turn out to be invaluable, saving not only citizens’ time, but also their gasoline, money and nerves.

Yandex traffic jams can be used outside the home for a long time, as the company has released more than one updated application for mobile computers, laptops, smartphones and tablets. So, if you don’t have enough time to look at the current situation on the roads, you can easily do this while warming up the car. Yandex also allows you to successfully evaluate traffic jams on the ring road, the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road and traffic on the inner side of the Moscow Ring Road, where traffic jams are typical in the morning, regardless of the logic of movement in antiphase. Bottleneck exits and entrances, new junctions do not in any way contribute to fast movement along all high-speed lanes, where the travel mode is not limited by traffic lights and is shown as 100 km/h.

The presence of cameras - recorders, which are installed throughout the city, can also be determined by the route, thanks to the Yandex map and Yandex traffic jam systems (the second insert on the interactive map). It is also necessary to take into account the traffic on the Moscow Ring Road before the weekend; often starting from Thursday, this bypass route is the most crowded, since when getting to work by metro, summer residents still risk going by car on the weekend, taking with them all the necessary belongings from home. And on Saturday and Sunday in the summer, the path to a traditional barbecue in the nearest suburbs will be completely blocked by those wishing to relax. As a conclusion, we can recommend planning your trip in advance, focusing on the traffic situation using interactive information maps (Yandex, Google), then traffic in Moscow and on the Moscow Ring Road will be smooth and fast.

The Yandex Traffic Traffic mobile application provides reasonable prerequisites for analyzing Moscow road congestion. The formation of constant traffic jams on the capital's roads is associated with both seasonal factors and imperfect organization of road traffic.

For an example of assessing the congestion of Moscow roads using Yandex. We will focus on traffic jams in the autumn period of 2013-2014. We focus on the months that are characterized by average traffic congestion, September and October. For analysis, we will take application data for the Moscow Ring Road, Third Transport Ring and Garden Ring.

Indicators of traffic congestion in Moscow for the current year

Current congestion times

We have identified a favorable period for analysis - most of the road users have returned from vacation, and favorable weather conditions allow frequent use of personal transport. So, Moscow roads begin to fill with traffic at 6.00 am, active use of the road surface continues until 00.00 am.

The main time of congestion during active traffic occurs in the intervals of 8.00 - 10.00 (everyone is rushing to work) and 18.00 - 20.00 (everyone is returning home). Evening traffic jams are more concentrated compared to the morning, when everyone strives to get to the center more or less systematically. The accumulated traffic for the whole day inside the Garden Ring, between the Third Transport Ring and the Garden Ring, tries to leave the center at the same time, due to which it is locked.

Positive dynamics of congestion during the week

The graph of Moscow road congestion during the week shows that the busiest day is Monday, but the peak of weekly congestion falls on Thursday.

On weekends, especially on Saturdays, morning and evening traffic jams are practically absent, but lunchtime traffic jams predominate; on Sundays, the center and the areas close to it take a break from the influx of traffic.

Trend in congestion on major highways

Congestion on radial routes

Radial routes are characterized by morning traffic flow to the center and evening traffic flow in the opposite direction. The most problematic highways for morning trips to the city center are Volgogradsky Ave., Yaroslavskoe Highway and Entuziastov. In the evening, congestion occurs along the route New Arbat - Kutuzovsky Prospekt - Mozhaiskoe Highway. A few minutes of movement drags on for several hours.

The freest route is the Barrikadnaya highway - Zvenigorodskoe highway - Marshal Zhukov Avenue.

Congestion of ring highways

The congestion trend on the ring roads of the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring is approximately at the same level. If we compare it with the Garden Ring, then the obvious fact is that its outer side is prone to the formation of traffic jams, since it is used for changing onto radial roads, but on its inner side traffic is more or less free.

Transport accessibility to the center of Moscow

According to data received from Yandex. Traffic jams were able to calculate the time of transport to the center of Moscow from various parts of the city. A visual map shows that the center of the capital is more accessible to residents of the western regions, while residents of the eastern and southeastern regions have problems.

Comparative characteristics of Moscow road congestion indicators for 2013-2014.

Having analyzed traffic congestion indicators in the capital for two years (2013-2014) obtained through the Yandex application. Traffic jams, we managed to find out that the situation with traffic jams, although not a little, has improved by 5%. Over the past six years, this is the first positive trend in reducing traffic congestion.

The construction of paid parking lots and road junctions made it possible to partially reduce the load on the main routes. Evidence of this is the improvement in traffic flow along the Garden Ring and between the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring.

And this is just the beginning of organizing the free movement of cars around Moscow, which is largely due to the work of the creators of the Yandex application. Traffic jams, which allows you to track problem areas of roads.
