Chisinau Implements New Yellow Box Road Marking to Ease Traffic Congestion

Chisinau, Moldova – A new yellow box road marking has been introduced at the intersection of Ștefan cel Mare and Pușkin streets in Chisinau, aiming to enhance traffic fluidity. The marking, commonly known as a 'keep clear' box, is designed to prevent vehicles from stopping within the intersection, even when traffic lights are green, if their exit is not clear. This measure is intended to reduce congestion and ensure continuous movement. However, observations from recent footage and public comments suggest that many drivers are either unaware of the marking's purpose or are failing to adhere to the new rule. Vehicles are frequently seen stopping within the yellow grid, leading to potential blockages and undermining the initiative's effectiveness. One commenter noted, "Moldova is transforming into the UK," referencing similar traffic rules in other countries, while another highlighted, "In Germany, there's a rule: if you see it's green but you can't move because of cars ahead, you simply wait at the traffic light, even if it's green. If you don't comply, you get a fine." Many residents emphasized the need for stricter enforcement, with suggestions for cameras and fines to ensure compliance and educate drivers. "If there are fines, they will learn quickly," one comment stated. The implementation of this new marking underscores the city's efforts to improve urban traffic conditions, though its success will depend on driver education and consistent enforcement.
