Seeking to introduce European standards aimed at developing the transport network and improving traffic in Lutsk, a new route orientation scheme is being introduced. Its first stage consists of changes to the rules of roundabout traffic – from now on, the direction around the circle will be considered the main road. From December 10 to 22, new road signs and information boards will be installed at all 9 roundabouts in the city. In order to prevent traffic accidents, for the time while drivers get used to the new traffic rules at intersections, road patrol control by the traffic police will be strengthened. As reported by the head of the department for coordination of passenger transport operations, Fedir Koretskyi, the next stage of the program will be relieving the central part of the city and directing suburban route minibuses to bus stations. This stage will be introduced gradually with parallel analysis of passenger flows in order to avoid a situation of deteriorating connections between Lutsk and surrounding settlements.
