Ahead of the Midsummer holidays, Tallinn is changing traffic arrangements in several locations to make traffic clearer and calmer and improve road safety, said Deputy Mayor Joel Jesse.<\/p>\n
“We are making changes in places where more traffic accidents have occurred in the past and where, based on residents’ feedback, we see opportunities to improve the current solutions \u2014 whether that involves lane layouts, turns or pedestrian routes,” Jesse said.<\/p>\n
To reduce noise and traffic disruptions caused by the work, specialized equipment from Finland will be used at some locations.<\/p>\n
On Gonsiori t\u00e4nav, reversible lane markings will be removed and traffic arrangements at the intersection of Gonsiori and Pronksi t\u00e4nav will be adjusted. For traffic entering the city, left turns onto Pronksi t\u00e4nav will be regulated by a separate traffic signal.<\/p>\n
At the intersection of Estonia puiestee and Kentmanni t\u00e4nav, traffic arrangements will be made clearer to improve safety where the public transport lane crosses the right-turn lane from Kentmanni t\u00e4nav.<\/p>\n
At the intersection of P\u00e4rnu maantee and T\u00f5nism\u00e4e, the pedestrian crossing will be moved closer to P\u00e4rnu maantee to make the route more convenient for pedestrians and improve their visibility to drivers making turns.<\/p>\n
At the intersection of Tondi t\u00e4nav and A. H. Tammsaare tee, lane alignments will be adjusted to improve traffic safety and reduce the risk of accidents.<\/p>\n
In addition, a number of smaller traffic management changes will be made at various locations across the city. The city is asking all road users to remain attentive and follow traffic signs and other traffic control devices.<\/p>\n
The work began this week. In many cases, the first stage involves removing existing road markings.<\/p>\n
