The need for fiction is cunning, and the employees of the capital Deptrans – for a “creative” interpretation of the traffic rules. Another masterpiece of fine road art can now be seen on the Moscow tarmac.

Recently, the author of these lines discovered a remarkable marker of its kind on Isakovsky Street in Moscow. Its meaning and significance was initially put into a stupor. The reader can also admire this photo – it is used as an illustration for this material. We see two lanes in each direction, recently completely changed asphalt and brand new horizontal markings. As you drive down the street, you’ll notice two dotted lines about three feet apart: white and orange. In addition, the orange lane almost divides traffic in one direction!

If you look closely, you will understand that the white dotted line is line 1.7, which is used to indicate the lanes at intersections and the boundaries of the parking lot. And orange is line 1.15 (“bicycle path”). Note that the “bicycle path” according to GOST is drawn not by one, but by two parallel dotted lines. And here we have only one such “rule”. And also orange. They apply only temporary markings according to the traffic rules. Walking down the street, at times you realize that someone is very clever in this way and has really tried to organize a cycle route here. This is confirmed by occasional bicycle symbols on the sidewalk within the same cycle path.

Although personally I wouldn’t do this route by bike for any price. In the first place because, in the absence of parked cars at the curb, such bicycle markings encourage the cyclist to move almost in the middle of the roadway. Which is not safe to say the least. Second, drivers do not understand the meaning of eccentric markings and ignore them. And then there’s the cyclist!

In addition, there are eight pedestrian crossings with speed bumps along this not particularly long street. For this reason, cyclists prefer not to ride on the road here, but on the sidewalks. That is, there is practically no demand for the bike path here. Well, as a snack: when the bike path passes through the bus stop, the markings apparently require the cyclist to dismount and continue on the tarmac beyond. Confirmation is also in the picture.

And what is the end result, you ask? Yes, the fact that the entire first week of the existence of this horizontal disgrace, the author of these lines was simply silently amazed at the mental strength of the author of the above-mentioned “drawings”. And I hoped there was nothing else like this in town. And now I look forward to the end of Moscow – so far no one has run over anyone on this death cycle path.
