The Moscow metro is looking to develop traffic lights to regulate the flow of passengers on escalators, the Moskva news agency reported Thursday.
Red and green lights will be used to convey instructions from escalator operators to passengers — directing them to stand on one or both sides of the escalator, says Nikolai Volosov, head of the Vidor company tasked with building the light prototype for the Moscow metro.
When such traffic lights will be incorporated and which stations will be equipped with them remains unclear.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
