Don't waste time sitting in a traffic jam - use the online map of traffic jams in Moscow and the Moscow region for free! Right now, a map with Moscow traffic jams will help you monitor the city’s traffic situation. Condition and speed of traffic flow on the Moscow MKAD online on the inside and outside. The speed of a traffic jam on Yaroslavskoye and Kievskoye highways. Having looked in advance where in this moment traffic jams on city roads, you can plot a route avoiding traffic jams. On the map: the degree of road congestion in points and color; speed of traffic flow in traffic jams in kilometers per hour; accident sites (accidents) and traffic jams; places of repair work; images from Moscow traffic cameras. It will help you with all this online map with traffic jams on Moscow roads.
Traffic jams
Nowadays traffic jams in Moscow are horrendous. On Yandex maps online you can often see red roads due to Moscow traffic jams, not only within the roads. But also to monitor the increased traffic congestion in the Moscow region, almost throughout the entire Moscow region. By looking in advance at a map of the city's road conditions, you can save travel time and fuel. Most often, and perhaps even today, traffic jams form in directions from Moscow along highways to Vladimir, Nizhny Novgorod and St. Petersburg. We recommend finding out in advance whether there are traffic jams to Kaluga, Tver, Tula, Sergiev Posad, Zelenograd, Solnechnogorsk, Cheboksary, Rostov-on-Don, Vladimir, Ryazan, Klin, Ivanovo, Kolomna, Lakinsk and Dmitrov.
The busiest destinations now
Leningradka, popularly known as Leningradka, is famous for its particular workload. Traffic to Sheremetyevo, Vnukovo and Domodedovo airports is often difficult. Traffic is often difficult on the ring road, along Entuziastov Street, and Kutuzovsky Prospekt. Traffic congestion occurs on almost all highways: Yaroslavskoye, Kievskoye, Leningradskoye, Novoryazanskoye, Kaluga, Warsaw, Dmitrovskoye, Kashirskoye, Shchelkovskoye, Zvenigorodskoye, Pyatnitsky. Traffic jams are also found in cities of the Moscow region, such as: Khimki, Lakinsk, Balashikha, Fryazino, Chekhov, Odintsovo, Shchelkovo, Noginsk and Podolsk.
See right now on the traffic jam map what the traffic situation is along your route. By looking at the map, you can find out what is happening on the roads in the city center, why there is a traffic jam on the road, and find out what is going on at the exit and entrance to Moscow. The map will show obstacles and their causes that may occur right along the way.
The Yandex Traffic Traffic mobile application provides reasonable prerequisites for analyzing Moscow road congestion. The formation of constant traffic jams on the capital's roads is associated with both seasonal factors and imperfect organization of road traffic.
For an example of assessing the congestion of Moscow roads using Yandex. We will focus on traffic jams in the autumn period of 2013-2014. We focus on the months that are characterized by average traffic congestion, September and October. For analysis, we will take application data for the Moscow Ring Road, Third Transport Ring and Garden Ring.
Indicators of traffic congestion in Moscow for the current year
Current congestion times
We have identified a favorable period for analysis - most of the participants traffic I returned from vacation, and favorable weather conditions allow me to often use personal transport. So, Moscow roads begin to fill with traffic at 6.00 am, active use of the road surface continues until 00.00 am.
The main time of congestion during active traffic occurs in the intervals of 8.00 - 10.00 (everyone is rushing to work) and 18.00 - 20.00 (everyone is returning home). Evening traffic jams are more concentrated compared to the morning, when everyone strives to get to the center more or less systematically. The accumulated traffic for the whole day inside the Garden Ring, between the Third Transport Ring and the Garden Ring, tries to leave the center at the same time, due to which it is locked.
Positive dynamics of congestion during the week
The graph of Moscow road congestion during the week shows that the busiest day is Monday, but the peak of weekly congestion falls on Thursday.
On weekends, especially on Saturdays, morning and evening traffic jams are practically absent, but lunch traffic jams predominate; on Sundays, the center and the areas close to it take a break from the influx of traffic.
Trend in congestion on major highways
Congestion on radial routes
Radial routes are characterized by morning traffic flow to the center and evening traffic flow in the opposite direction. The most problematic highways for morning trips to the city center are Volgogradsky Ave., Yaroslavskoe Highway and Entuziastov. In the evening, congestion occurs along the route New Arbat– Kutuzovsky Prospekt – Mozhaiskoe Highway. A few minutes of movement drags on for several hours.
The freest route is the Barrikadnaya highway - Zvenigorodskoe highway - Marshal Zhukov Avenue.
Congestion of ring highways
The congestion trend on the ring roads of the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring is approximately at the same level. If we compare it with the Garden Ring, then the obvious fact is that its outer side is prone to the formation of traffic jams, since it is used for changing onto radial roads, but on its inner side traffic is more or less free.
Transport accessibility to the center of Moscow
According to data received from Yandex. Traffic jams were able to calculate the time of transport to the center of Moscow from various districts of the city. A visual map shows that the center of the capital is more accessible to residents of the western regions, while residents of the eastern and southeastern regions have problems.
Comparative characteristics of Moscow road congestion indicators for 2013-2014.
Having analyzed traffic congestion indicators in the capital for two years (2013-2014) obtained through the Yandex application. Traffic jams, we managed to find out that the situation with traffic jams, although not a little, has improved by 5%. Over the past six years, this is the first positive trend in reducing traffic congestion.
The construction of paid parking lots and road junctions made it possible to partially reduce the load on the main routes. Evidence of this is the improvement in traffic flow along the Garden Ring and between the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring.
And this is just the beginning of organizing the free movement of cars around Moscow, which is largely due to the work of the creators of the Yandex application. Traffic jams, which allows you to track problem areas of roads.
Traffic jams on the Moscow Ring Road: symptoms and course of treatment March 25th, 2013
Why is the Moscow Ring Road standing, despite its 10 traffic-lightless lanes? And what to do with it?
Surely almost every driver who has been stuck in a traffic jam for many hours on the Moscow Ring Road has asked himself these questions.
One of the reasons is sometimes called “too frequent departures and arrivals”
Let's see if this is true. Here is a map of congresses for 2011 from a study by Probok.net on traffic police posts at the entrances to Moscow. There are 49 entrances here. 
In a year and a half, 4 new ones have been opened: the second exit from Kurkino and a backup of the Dmitrovskoye Highway, plus 2 connections made through the efforts of Probok.net - travel under the Moscow Ring Road at 18 km and a bridge across the Moscow Ring Road at the 87th km. In total there were 53 of them. Dividing 109 km (the length of the Moscow Ring Road) by 53, we get an average of 1 entry/exit per 2.05 km. Which is quite within the framework of world practice for highways in agglomerations.
Of course, the distribution of exits is uneven: on average, there is 1 exit per 1.7 km in the western part and 1 for every 3.4 km in the eastern part of the Moscow Ring Road. But practice shows that when the distance between interchanges is 1-1.5 km, problems with crossing streams do not arise, and right-turn exits are permissible more often. So the “frequency” of exits and entries has nothing to do with it. On the contrary, in the eastern part of the city they are clearly lacking.
What are the causes of traffic jams on the Moscow Ring Road?
There are, as always, a lot of them. It is worth remembering a lot shopping centers along the Moscow Ring Road, and poor road connectivity in Moscow and the region along the Moscow Ring Road. Traffic violations and lack of emergency stop places. Big number heavy trucks in general and their “slippage” in winter in particular.
All this is true. But there is another group of reasons, and it will probably be the most important. This is poor organization of exits and interchanges on the Moscow Ring Road. Components of the problem:
1. Clover junctions cannot cope with the load and “self-lock”
First of all, this applies to interchanges with large outbound highways. Moreover, the wider the highway in the region and in Moscow, the more serious the problem. The problem is aggravated by the absence of acceleration and deceleration strips.
We will show how this happens using the example of the clover interchange of the Moscow Ring Road with the M4 Don and Lipetskaya Street. The diagram shows a traffic jam on the “clover petal” from the M4 from the area to the inner Moscow Ring Road. Those waiting in line to enter line up in several rows and practically block direct passage to Moscow. Those further stuck in the traffic jam begin to interfere with the exit from the MKAD to Moscow (they have to “infiltrate”, the traffic jam at the exit goes to the MKAD, on the MKAD drivers also stand in 3-4 lanes and further along the chain. 
Interestingly, this congestion occurs most of the time, even when the Moscow Ring Road is free. Its reason is the low capacity of left-turn clover petals (about 1000-1200 cars per hour). This is sufficient when the intersecting highway has 2 traffic-lightless or 3 traffic-light lanes in each direction. When the number of lanes reaches 4 in one direction, and the highway becomes without traffic lights, demand grows to 1500-2000 cars per hour. It is not surprising that there is almost always a traffic jam here.
2. “Slow” flows of exits and entrances are in no way separated from the “fast” main flow
Scientifically speaking, on the Moscow Ring Road there is no division of roadways into transit and collector. This in itself slows down the right lane even without congestion, and in combination with the mass of violators who want to get around the traffic jam, it also slows down 1-2 neighboring lanes.
We have already seen above how this problem arises. And here is an illustration of the consequences using the example of the Kashirskoye Highway interchange with Kolomensky Proezd. Because of this effect on Kashirskoye Highway In the evening arises traffic jam towards the center before the junction, and after it everything is free: 
Effective administrative means of combating this violation have not yet been invented.
3. Traffic lights on streets and highways located close to junctions with the Moscow Ring Road
In some cases, the traffic light is located almost at the junction itself. The most striking example of a blunder is the intersection of Ostashkovskoe Highway with Severodvinskaya Street and Studeny Proyezd, which has been collecting many kilometers along the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road for about 10 years, and now it has sometimes begun to collect along the inner side as well. By the way, on the outside the clover was “expanded” to 2 rows from the standard 1, and recently something similar was done on the inside of the Moscow Ring Road. But the traffic light and traffic police post brought all these efforts to naught.
I'm a big proponent of traffic lights as a great way to control traffic. So, for the safety and convenience of pedestrians, improving road traffic.
But when a traffic light blocks traffic on the Moscow Ring Road, creating problems for tens of thousands of people every day, it is obvious that something needs to be done, and done urgently.
Ostashkovskoye Highway - no the only place with a similar problem. We see the same thing at the entrance from the Moscow Ring Road to Strogino and many other places.

What are the authorities planning to do?
The MKAD planning project, which is being prepared by the Moskomarkhitektura and the Research and Development Institute of the General Plan, provides means to combat all three reasons.
1. Almost all clover interchanges are being reconstructed with the addition of overpass directional ramps
Approximately how it is now done at the junctions with Novorizhskoye, Leningradskoye, Yaroslavskoye, Varshavskoye highways:
This is what the interchange between Yaroslavsky and MKAD looks like in 3D: 
Thanks to Airpano.ru for the beauty.
2. At all junctions, as well as at other exit points, “collector-distribution” side passages will appear
They will be physically separated from the main course of the Moscow Ring Road. As a rule, they will begin 100-300 meters before the junction, and end 100-300 meters after. This will allow:
- separate lane changes and crowding in the right lanes from direct high-speed traffic
- eliminate massive traffic violations by physically fencing off small-width side passages.
Now something similar has been built at the “fresh” junction – the exit from Kurkino. True, here the advantages of side passages are difficult to assess - the interchange is relatively lightly loaded and simple, and was also made “with a reserve”: 
3. Traffic lights located close to exit points on streets and highways will be removed
It is for this reason that during the reconstruction of the Kashirskoye and Varshavskoye highways, in the first case, a reversal tunnel was built, in the second, a reversal overpass. Many people (including me) intuitively think that these objects are not the most necessary, because... There are no traffic jams due to these traffic lights now. But we must understand that this was done “with a reserve” for the future of 2-5 years (reconstruction of interchanges on the Moscow Ring Road and increase in traffic on the radial highway itself).
Here is what has already been done on Varshavsky and Kashirskoye near the Moscow Ring Road:
What about the implementation?
The closest ones in line for reconstruction are the interchanges in the southern sector of the Moscow Ring Road, as one of the most problematic. Terms – from 2 to 4 years. You can see how it will look in the diagrams below (clickable). The diagrams are purely preliminary, from the “draft planning project” from NIIiPI, as of August 2012. The final projects may (and most certainly will) differ!
Interchange of the Moscow Ring Road with Leninsky Prospekt and M3: 
Interchange of the Moscow Ring Road with Karamzin Passage (exit to Sevastopolsky): 
Interchange of the Moscow Ring Road with Lipetskaya Street and M4: 
Interchange between the Moscow Ring Road and Kashirskoe Highway: 
MKAD interchange with Volgogradskoe highway and M5: 
Will this be enough to completely rid the Moscow Ring Road of traffic jams?
I believe this will solve most of the problems of the Moscow Ring Road. But in order to finally get rid of traffic jams on the Moscow Ring Road, at least 4 more problems will need to be solved:
- Improve connectivity of the road network on the periphery of the city
- Figure out how and where to quickly and legally remove emergency vehicles from the roadway
- Eliminate the phenomenon of “roadside detour”
- Reconstruct the Small Concrete Ring (and build the Central Ring Road, since they decided to do so soon)
But more on that another time.
Road congestion in Moscow, the Moscow region and other Russian cities online.
Traffic jams in Moscow now on the Yandex map, places of accidents and places of road work.
Traffic jams in real time on the Yandex map in cities
Convenient viewing of city routes using Yandex traffic maps, monitoring highway congestion in Moscow, the Moscow region and any other city in Russia.
A clear understanding of the situation on city roads gives the driver the opportunity to bypass traffic jams and get to his destination in the most convenient time. short term. Yandex provides a unique opportunity to monitor traffic congestion online in any locality. Using a map on your computer or phone monitor, you can find out about the traffic situation in your city at any time and determine a convenient route.
The maximum saving of travel time is the quality of the Yandex traffic jam service.
Traffic jams often steal precious minutes of time from car owners. Residents of megacities can manage to get into them several times a day, because the number of cars on the roads is large and every motorist, after purchasing a car, is unlikely to use another type of transport. With the Yandex traffic jam service on the map, a lot of time is saved, and the trip turns into an interesting journey without interference.
The virtual map helps to see in time all the obstacles on the way, the intensity of congestion on the roads of Moscow and suburban areas. The uniqueness of the service is that it works around the clock, providing its users with the necessary information at any time. There are constant updates of information about the congestion of any highway, so the risk of being stuck in a traffic jam due to outdated news is completely eliminated.
A convenient navigation map service provides drivers with Vehicle a necessary tool that serves auxiliary in the fight against congestion. The quality of Yandex service has been tested by many grateful motorists. A simple way to check your route makes the road safer and makes it possible to get to your final destination much faster.
Reducing gasoline consumption, time and nerves on the road using the Yandex traffic jam network service is most important in winter, when the passage of vehicles can be difficult due to snow.
Megacities such as Moscow are characterized by a high pace of life and movement. Road routes can become congested with heavy traffic, especially during rush hours when people are traveling to work or returning home. Just look at the traffic jams in Moscow now on the Yandex map to keep abreast of all the latest events on the streets of this city. In addition to Moscow, all other cities are displayed on the map settlements and their areas.
Online road navigation simplifies the route and makes it easier for the taxi driver to deliver his passenger to the place quickly and comfortably. It is easy to use, anyone can open a browser, find a site with a Yandex map, view all road surfaces, and mark convenient routes. Among the advantages of this method of bypassing interference, it is worth noting the reduction in gasoline consumption, which is noticeably and uselessly spent when caught in a traffic jam.
Online road maps are a useful tool for motorists. They provide invaluable assistance to every car owner in moving along city central roads. It is the central parts of the city that are most often subject to a large influx of traffic during the day and evening hours. An easy search for a free path online helps save time and implement larger number tasks assigned that day.
