Tashkent authorities are preparing for the introduction of new traffic schemes on several streets to reduce congestion and improve public transport efficiency, following city-led studies that highlighted bottlenecks and uneven traffic distribution across key areas.
The Tashkent city administration said the review identified significant issues with bus movement at the Paxtakor transport hub, located at the intersection of Zargar and Botir Zokirov streets. Under the proposed changes, the number of public transport routes using the hub is expected to increase to 11, while daily passenger flows could reach up to 37,000.
City planners also examined ways to improve road capacity at the Abdulla Qodiriy–Abay and Sharof Rashidov–Osiyo intersections. Additional proposals focus on updating road markings and refining traffic organization at the Ziyolilar–Small Ring Road junction, as well as along Abdulla Qodiriy–Mahtumquli streets.
The process, overseen by Deputy Mayor Abdurahmon Bakhtiyev, includes discussions on introducing one-way traffic on Avliyo ota and Fidokor streets and setting up roadside parking near the Seoul Mun area. Officials said final decisions on the new traffic arrangements will be announced after further review, as the city continues efforts to improve mobility and public transport performance.
In mid-December 2025, Uzbekistan began preparing a dedicated law defining the legal, economic, and administrative status of Tashkent, following instructions from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev as part of broader urban governance reforms.
Later that month, authorities also finalized a unified design code for the capital, setting common standards for architecture, public spaces, signage, and the overall urban environment — measures that complement ongoing efforts to reorganize traffic and improve city mobility.
