Tashkent launches "green wave" on Babur Street
In Tashkent, nine traffic lights on a section of Babur Street from Furkat Street to Shota Rustaveli Street have been synchronized into a "green wave" system, the capital's Traffic Management Center reported.
The reconfigured section is about two kilometers long. The system is designed for an average driving speed of 45–55 km/h. In the morning, priority is given to traffic flow from Furkat Street to Shota Rustaveli Street (towards the airport), and in the evening, the traffic lights operate in the opposite direction — towards Beshagach Square.
According to the Traffic Management Center, coordinated signal switching has reduced travel time on the section during peak hours from 9 to 7 minutes, a reduction of approximately 22%. On a clear road, this route usually takes 6–7 minutes, so traffic now navigates it during busy hours at almost the same speed as during off-peak times.
The agency noted that the synchronization of traffic light facilities on the capital's streets is continuing.
What it means
Drivers on the section of Babur Street between Furkat and Shota Rustaveli streets can cover the stretch during peak hours in 7 minutes instead of 9 when maintaining an average driving speed of 45–55 km/h.
