Increasing the Capacity of Highways in Linearly Extended Urban Areas

Abstract

The article reveals the results of a study on the street and road network of the linear urban planning system "Big
Volgograd". The main promising directions of development of the road network have been identified:
– construction of an expressway – bypass of the city; – construction and reconstruction of the existing road network - duplicates of existing urban highways; – development of transverse directions of the street and road network, providing duplicate connections between the main highways of the city.
The relevance of the work is related to the features of the current stage of the planning development of transport
communications of the linear urban planning system (GS) "Greater Volgograd".
