Our proposals: 1) To ban left turns on Shipchenski Prohod Boulevard. 2) To ban parking in the first 100 metres after every crossing. 3) To reorganize the traffic lights for conflict-free crossing of vehicles and pedestrians. 4) If the left turns are banned, the lane on the tram rails can be opened. 5) To make the crosswalk on Shipchenski Prohod boulevard and Lidice street raised with running lights.
