He watched Klemens Anemkowski, a TVNWarszawa.pl reporter, watched. As he said, the traffic lights were launched in full. After 4pm, no congestion were formed.

After 20 o'clock, according to Google maps, a small cork formed on all the intersection threads. The longest can be seen along the AK “Kampinos” group, from the side of Galeria Młociny. In the evening, Lerakowski went to evaluate the situation again. – leaving the gallery towards the Mazovian princes, they enter a 200-meter traffic jam, from which only the first pair of cars can travel at the time when they get a green light. Other roads commuting to the intersection are relatively empty – he reported.

The program supporting this signaling was previously redesigned and obtained the approval of the Road Traffic Management Office. The date of its launch is not accidental – signaling has started to act in winter holidays, which will give the opportunity to check its functioning with less movement.

The intersection of Mazowieckie Princes and the AK “Kampinos” Grouping is extensive. Apart from the roads, pavements and bicycle route, there is an entrance to the tram depot and the switching system connecting it with the track along the North Bridge route. The situation at the intersection is monitored by the City Roads Authority. “If necessary, we will introduce corrections in the program,” ZDM assured.

A giant cork before Christmas

Precautions (switching on travelers in the holidays), which road workers have decided, have a source in difficulties from the past. The intersection has a complicated layout due to the proximity of a large shopping center and a transport hub with a tram loop. As the journalists of “Gazeta Stołeczna” calculated, a total of 64 signals were installed there.

With the launch, several years were delayed, whenever the test was made, there were a car and tram paralysis. Their meaningful coordinating seems to be an impossible task, none of the moved models gave a guarantee of controlling the thicket of lights.

The situation from December proved painfully when Some clients of Galeria Młociny waited for a trip from the parking lot after 3-4 hours. This is because at Amen a street of the AK “Kampinos” group and the area around the intersection with Mazowieckie Street, running along the gallery.

At that time, representatives of the shopping center immediately stated that the problems resulted from the introduction of a new traffic organization by the Municipal Roads Authority, and specifically from launching the entire traffic lights. ZDM then turned to the Road Traffic Management Office asking for corrections. He put their implementation on “after Christmas”. The moment of the trial is coming.
