It is planned to improve the speed of the trolleybuses No. 4 and No. 19
In order to improve the speed of trolleybuses on routes No. 4 and No. 19, “Rīgas satiksme”, in cooperation with the Transport Department of the Riga City Council, has installed trolleybus traffic detectors at the traffic lights at the intersection of Saulkalnes and Kartupeļu streets, which will ensure smooth movement of public transport, without the need for an additional stop at the traffic lights. It is also planned that in the future the passengers will be serviced at the stops located within the same block – “Saulkalnes Street” and “Tadaiķu Street”, in the respective directions.
The decision to approve these changes is still to be taken by the Passenger Commercial Transportation Licensing Commission of the Riga City Council.
The Transport Department of the Riga City Council, in cooperation with “Rīgas satiksme”, has already made different improvements to speed up the movement of trolleybuses on the routes No. 4 and No. 19, for example, a lane for public transport was introduced before entering Mūkusalas roundabout, the priority of trolleybuses at the intersection of Saulkalnes, Graudu and Mālu streets was improved, a lane was created for public transport at the entrance to K. Ulmaņa gatve in the direction from the centre.
