An army of cars in a multi-million city can pretty much spoil the mood of a person who first decided to visit Moscow. Instead of walking to pleasant music, you can get stuck tightly on one of the city streets.
It is necessary
- - smartphone with internet access;
- - tariff of a mobile operator with unlimited traffic;
- - navigation application for a smartphone, indicating the traffic situation;
- - video recorder.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the season and day of arrival
Summer roads in Moscow are becoming more unloaded with the onset of the holiday season. And the most attractive days for a trip are New Year's holidays and May holidays. If you have such an opportunity, then first of all give preference to holidays and weekends.
Step 2
Choose time of day for a trip to Moscow
At any time of the year, you are guaranteed to find yourself in a traffic jam at the entrance to Moscow from 7:00 to 9:00. If it is not a public holiday or day off, the best time to enter is from 11 am. The return flow of transport starts at about 18:00 and dissipates at 21:00. In summer, don't risk visiting Moscow on Sunday evenings. Starting from lunchtime, the roads are filled with summer residents who return home and are stuck in traffic jams until late at night. The same situation occurs when leaving Moscow every Friday and Saturday, only in the morning.
Step 3
Choose a route
If there is an opportunity to choose between directions, then it is better to move along the least congested road, avoiding the chance to catch a traffic jam in Moscow already at the entrance:
- in the north - the updated Leningradskoe highway;
- in the west - the reconstructed Novorizhskoe highway;
- in the south - Varshavskoe highway;
- in the east, the workload is about the same.
Transport interchanges at the intersection with the Moscow Ring Road operate within their capabilities. Do not be discouraged when in the middle of the night you meet a traffic jam on the Varshavskoe highway. And this is possible if the road is being repaired ahead or an accident happened.
Step 4
Download navigator with traffic jams
For owners of smartphones, there are many applications with navigation on the roads of the country. Some of them are able to connect to services that monitor the traffic situation. How not to get stuck in traffic jams in Moscow, any navigator for a smartphone with Internet access will tell you. The most common and convenient applications:
- Yandex Navigator;
- Google Maps;
- Sygic: GPS Navigation & Maps;
- MapFactor: GPS Navigation;
- Maverick: GPS Navigation;
- CityGuide for iPhone;
In addition to the congestion of cars, these applications will show the places of traffic police ambushes, the location of speed cameras and road works along the way.
Step 5
Use car dvr
As a safety precaution, especially for lone drivers, the use of a recorder is recommended. The traffic density on the roads of the capital is high, there is always a chance to get stuck in a traffic jam in Moscow. And when people stand for a long time, not everyone's nerves can stand. Someone does not behave quite adequately, rebuilds and cuts, in such an environment not far from an accident. In this case, it is better to have an extra witness.
