On Florilor Street in Chisinau’s Râșcani sector, three raised pedestrian crossings have been set up. These locations were selected because there are several schools and kindergartens in the area.
The Chisinau City Hall says that work is currently underway on Matei Basarab Street, at the pedestrian crossing near Matei Basarab School, to be followed by similar works in Ciocana sector.
In total this year, 22 elevated pedestrian crossings are to be installed in several sectors, mainly around educational institutions. Where the road has more than three lanes per direction, refuge islands will be created for pedestrians.
The first raised crossing was set up last year on Florilor Street, in front of the Ștefan cel Mare School, and recently the safety of a pedestrian crossing on Miron Costin Street was further improved with built-in photovoltaic buttons.
