"Green wave" in Tashkent expands to 14 streets: traffic lights synchronized along 77.9 km

According to the Traffic Management Centre, travel time on these sections has decreased by an average of 23%. Measurements were taken outside peak hours, so the result may differ during heavy traffic. On Shota Rustaveli, a trip now takes 8 minutes instead of 12, on Farg'ona Yo'li 9 instead of 13, on Bog'ishamol 7 instead of 10, and on the Small Ring Road about 20 minutes instead of 26.

On Kukcha Darvoza, the centre reconfigured 16 traffic light installations along a 7-km stretch between Zulfizar and Tor Ko'cha (City Hospital No. 1) streets. From 7:00 to 17:00, priority is given to traffic heading toward the centre, and from 17:00 to midnight to the oncoming flow. According to the Traffic Management Centre, travel time here decreased by an average of 40%, and off-peak tests showed savings of about 8 minutes per trip.

In addition to these streets, the system operates on Bunyodkor, Ahmad Donish, Farabi, Do'rmon Yo'li, Sebzor, Yangi Sergeli, Mahtumquli, Ziyolilar, and on the Ohangaron Highway. The first such corridor was introduced in July on Buyuk Ipak Yo'li.

The Traffic Management Centre explained that no new roads or equipment were required: specialists studied traffic flows, calculated intervals, and reconfigured the already installed traffic lights, incurring no additional costs. The system does not provide a constant green signal—phases for pedestrians and cars from intersecting streets remain. Exceeding the speed limit, according to the centre's experts, does not speed up travel and can lead to unnecessary stops.
