In an effort to improve road safety in Odessa, an expansion of the traffic control network is planned.

Following a joint analysis of accident hotspots, conducted by representatives from the National Police, the Odessa City Transport Department, and other agencies, four new locations for the installation of automatic violation detection cameras have been identified.

New control points include:

• the intersection of Mykhailo Hrushevskyi Street and Protsenka Street: two cameras will be installed here, one capturing oncoming traffic and the other monitoring traffic towards Roman Shukhevych Street. In 2024, there were 5 accidents with casualties here;
• the intersection of Heavenly Hundred Avenue and Shkilnyi Aerodrom Street: two cameras will monitor traffic towards Levitan Street. Over the past three years, there have been 12 accidents with casualties;
• the intersection of Lustdorf Road and Breus Street: one camera will record oncoming traffic towards Admiral Avenue. There have also been 12 accidents with casualties here;
• 3rd Station of Lustdorf Road: one camera will monitor oncoming traffic towards Heroes of Kruty Street. There have been 9 accidents with casualties over the last three years.

The installation of these cameras has been approved by the relevant authorities of the National Police and complies with the requirements of the Auto-Fixation System Operating Procedure, as established by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine Resolution No. 833.

A decision on the expansion of the camera network will soon be presented to the Odessa City Council. It is anticipated that these new devices will help reduce the number of accidents and improve driver discipline on the city’s roads.
