Smart weather stations monitor the weather conditions on a number of Russian highways. For example, more than 150 such systems operate in the road network of the state-owned company Avtodor, which makes it possible to monitor changes in the climatic situation and react quickly to them in order to avoid collapses and mass accidents on the roadway.
It is striking that road workers do not wait for precipitation, but pre-treat the fabric with ice-resistant materials, based on data from weather stations. In particular, we are talking about the “federal” M-1 “Belarus”, M-3 “Ukraine”, M-4 “Don”, M-11 “Neva”, A-113 TsKAD, A-105 ( access road to Domodedovo airport), A-107 “Moscow Small Ring” and the existing sections of M-12 “Moscow – Kazan”. More than 230,000 tons of salt mixture and almost 200,000 tons of pure chlorides are stored.
If only the main road builders could learn from the experience of their colleagues. Otherwise, it usually snows in Moscow for several days in a row, paralyzing the city and the Moscow region almost completely, and only after it ends do public facilities appear on the roadway. And not in the dark, but during the day. Often – during rush hours, creating traffic jams.
It is much more absurd if during rain or snow they wash the asphalt from dirt and dust, and at the same time carry out repair work with the coating. And what: it is necessary to master the taxpayer’s money …
