Warsaw is stuck in traffic jams. PIS proposes a debate. Trzaskowski responds immediately. Experts tell us if it will get better
Warsaw among the most congested cities in the world
In the package most congested cities world the name of first origin was maintained by London, where the child was born in traffic jams for even 6 and a half days a year (!). Chicago and Paris are also on the podium. Warsaw worsened its result last year by three points, which means that during the year we spent two hours more in communication with the engine than in 2021. Annually, the average driver in the capital lost as much as 64 hours in traffic jams. Krakow is a bit better – a little bit – the city of Krakow in service is based on data obtained by operators of satellite navigation systems, as well as from city monitoring systems, determining 53 items.
There is no place for this city, whose inhabitants do not complain about crowds, traffic jams and discomfort related to it. In this respect, from latitude, we are similar. Exceptional inhabitants MokotówThis year, Wilanów and Ursynów felt what it means to be stuck in traffic jams and what it means communication paralysis, even at night. But is there any chance to get better?
MP Krajewski: Let Trzaskowski not be a disabled user like someone else
Opposition councilors from the capital see the fault in the city’s transport policy. MP this week Jarosław Krajewski and social councilors called a press conference on this matter /. – later, poor traffic management was observed in many places or repair brake. We would like President Rafał Trzaskowski to abandon ideological zealotry, not to treat Warsaw drivers as students. Start a dialogue on solutions that will make Warsaw for everyone, not just for the chosen ones he comments Warsaw PiS MP Jaroslaw Krajewski, head of the Warsaw PiS structures. Opposition councilors are demanding an extraordinary session of the Warsaw Council on the city’s transport policy.
Trzaskowski: They want a debate, they will have it
AND President Rafał Trzaskowski didn’t take long to ask. They want to talk about transportation, they’ll have it. – We want the city to become for everyone, as well as for drivers, which is why we are building a modern city. And a modern city, so that there is less money and priority for public transport – he explains Rafał Trzaskowski.
For today (Friday, January 20) for the evening at 18 was convened at the Palace of Culture and Science an extraordinary session where councilors have only three points to make statements. Opposition councilors are demanding information and questions from the president of Warsaw about the city’s transport policy, and as a result of the social campaign, about the “Tempo 30” Zone, which is to cover half of Warsaw on access roads. And changes in the application of standards with residents.
But is there any chance that traffic jams will disappear in Warsaw someday?
Konkolewski: There is one way out for Warsaw
– The road infrastructure in Warsaw, although modernized all the time, is and unfortunately still inefficient due to the invasion of students and people looking for work. The communication system cannot keep up with the delivery of such a normal stream of vehicles and is unlikely to change. The more people use public transport, the fewer cars there will be on the roads. To the only exit – assessed the policeman Marek Konkolewski.
Furgalski: You can’t learn traffic jams
Adrian Furgalski from the TOR business advisors team has no doubts – it will not be easier and better on Warsaw roads.
– Never in Warsaw you can’t get away from the traffic jamsunless we remove the cars from them. Traffic jams can be minimized, we will not eliminate them. We go to one of the most congested cities in Europe because it has not passed yet, although now you can see that it is passing … (probably due to fuel prices) fascination with driving a car and its appearance. Cars arriving in Warsaw. In some parts of cities, European capitals, they are decreasing in favor of public transport. The tendency to limit traffic on the roads is most needed, also for our health and safety – comments “Super Express” Furgalski.
