The Center for Traffic Organization has presented an expert analysis of the situation around the 'Malika' market in Tashkent, where years-long traffic jams have become a serious problem for capital city drivers. Specialists emphasize that the collapse on this section is caused not only by the unfortunate location of public transport stops but also by a whole complex of infrastructural miscalculations.

Among the key factors complicating traffic, experts highlight the critical density of traffic flow, chaotic pedestrian movement, and conflicts when entering parking lots. In this zone, the interests of buyers, transit transport, and city buses intersect, which, under the current traffic scheme, leads to constant congestion. Simply moving a bus stop without changing the overall logistics of the node may not only fail to solve the problem but could even worsen it.

Currently, several scenarios for optimizing this transport node are being developed. Specialists are studying the geometry of intersections in detail, measuring the throughput capacity of each lane, and evaluating the effectiveness of traffic light facilities. Particular attention is paid to combating illegal and chaotic parking, which often 'eats up' a significant portion of road space.

The result of this work will be comprehensive measures. They may include a complete reconfiguration of traffic lights, the implementation of a new traffic scheme, and the organization of parking spaces. Based on the collected data, specialists are already modeling the impact of various decisions on traffic. It is noted that the first conceptual option to reduce the load on the section near the 'Malika' market has already been prepared and is undergoing a discussion stage.
