It is planned to improve the speed of 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 Transport Department of 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 additional need to stop at the traffic lights.
“Rīgas satiksme” in cooperation with the Transport Department of Riga City Council has made variety of improvements to speed of the trolleybuses on routes No. 4 and No. 19, such as, introduction of the lane for public transport before entering Mūkusalas roundabout, improvement of the priority of trolleybuses at the intersection of Graudu, Saulkalnes and Mālu streets, creation of the lane for public transport at the entrance to Kārļa Ulmaņa gatve, in the direction from the city centre. The two mentioned trolleybus routes complement each other, together ensuring the smoothest possible range of traffic, required to handle the flow of passengers in Ziepniekkalns area. In addition to changes already made, the Transport department informs, that in 2021 at the junction of Graudu and Valdeķu streets it is planned to install transport detectors and implement adaptive traffic light signal plan, to increase traffic safety and facilitate traffic flow.
To ensure smooth movement of public transport, without additional need to stop at the traffic lights, from February 1, the stop “Kartupeļu iela” will be closed. Therefore, to reach the preferred destination, passengers, driving in the direction of Juglas and Pētersalas streets, will be able to use stops located within the same block - “Saulkalnes iela” and “Tadaiķu iela”, without the need to cross additional streets or junctions, without creating additional safety risks. Whereas, when driving in the direction of destination “Ziepniekkalns”, it will be possible to use stops “Saulkalnes iela” and “Graudu iela”.
Likewise, from February 1., stop „A/S “Dzintars” of trolleybus no. 19 will be renamed and will be referred to as “Dzintars”.
