Article 17. Measures on organizing road traffic

Measures on organizing road traffic include:

managing the distribution of traffic flows by lanes, including grouping traffic flows by vehicle categories, speed, direction, and time of movement;

increasing road capacity, including removing obstacles and conditions that threaten traffic safety, reconstructing intersections, and building interchanges;

system management of traffic signal facilities and optimization of their control cycles;

ensuring interlinkage of traffic signal indications within the boundaries of areas specified in traffic-organization documents;

developing road infrastructure to ensure pedestrian and cyclist movement, including marking, constructing, equipping, and regulating pedestrian crossings and bicycle lanes;

introducing priority for the movement of route (public) transport;

developing off-street parking;

restricting or prohibiting vehicle movement.

When managing distribution of traffic on roads, measures for road construction, reconstruction, capital repair and maintenance, as well as other types of capital construction that affect the key indicators of traffic organization shall be taken into account.

Placement of technical means of traffic organization that do not comply with national standards is not allowed.

Measures relating to the organisation of road traffic shall be implemented by specially authorised state bodies and local executive authorities either directly or with the involvement of enterprises, institutions and organisations, including business entities, in accordance with the procedure established by legislation.
