Быстрее, чем на метро: в Москве появилась велополоса длиной в 1,3 км

Another 4.6 km of bike lanes are planned on 6 streets of the capital by the end of the season

The first 1.3 km bike lane has appeared on Tsvetnoy Boulevard. This was reported by the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport.

The markings were applied according to all the rules, in consultation with employees of the "Center for Traffic Management of the Government of Moscow" (TsODD). It complements existing bike paths and completes the route from the Dostoyevskaya metro station to the Bolshoi Theater.

This road takes about half an hour on foot or by bus, and less than 15 minutes by bicycle. It allows you to get from Belorussky railway station to Chistye Prudy 7 minutes faster than by metro.
