Hitting the Brakes: Motorcycle Commutes in Chelyabinsk Face Nighttime Curbs
It's about to get a bit bumpy for two-wheeled enthusiasts in Chelyabinsk, Russia. According to Novy Day, the city's administration and traffic cops have decided to put the brakes on motorcycle traffic on Lenin Prospect, all thanks to resident complaints. The ruling was made at a safety summit under the mayor's office, ensuring that adjustments to the traffic management plan followed suit.
Starting tonight and lasting until morning, motorcyclists will face restrictions on the Lenin Prospect stretch between Lesoparkovaya Street and Heroes of Tankograd Street. Warning signs are set to pop up gradually, so be on the lookout, bike pals.
Motorcyclists serving businesses in the area or those linked to residents or workers aren't off the hook completely. They'll still be able to traverse Lenin Prospect, just do so via the nearest intersection to your destination, city officials caution.
These restrictions have been thriving in other large Russian cities, according to city officials. So, if you're a motorcycle rider in Chelyabinsk, it's time to navigate the city a little differently after dark.
Ride on, Chelyabinsk.
