Moscow will order road signs for 8.8 billion rubles

The authorities began to look for a contractor who organizes the production of signs in the city, writes Kommersant. Moscow undertakes to purchase about 1.45 million road signs and their components, such as fasteners. Applications are accepted until June 20. Such a large competition is announced for the first time, the newspaper notes: earlier the capital purchased signs with relatively small batches.

In 2022, the metropolitan center of traffic organization (SCD) entered into contracts for the supply of signs for 358 million and 432 million rubles with the North Caucasus Plant of Metal structures (Krasnodar Territory) and Stroy Invest Project. And in 2023, 150 million signs were purchased from the Samara company Strod Service.

At the same time, four manufacturers of road signs work in the capital – “Sign”, “Prime Media”, “PC Bestmash” and “Alliance”. Within the framework of the new contract, they can be modernized, or a new enterprise will be built.

The city hall expects that the localization of production in the capital will ensure “high quality and durability of road signs and thereby will contribute to increasing road safety.”

According to the data for December 2024, about 900 thousand road signs were installed in Moscow.

According to insurers, Muscovites become the culprits of almost half of the road accidents on trips. Much less often, an accident occurs with the participation of drivers from Krasnodar, the Stavropol Territory and the Chelyabinsk region: they account for 3, 2.8 and 2.7 percent of incidents, respectively.
