The key facts

  • Rain reduces visibility and makes traffic more difficult in the capital
  • Road patrol officers are working in a heightened regime to prevent congestion and accidents
  • Drivers are asked to keep a safe distance and follow patrol officers' signals at intersections

Heightened regime due to bad weather

In Tashkent, road traffic safety controls have been strengthened due to rainy weather. According to the State Road Traffic Safety Service, rain may reduce visibility on the roads and make driving more difficult, so road patrol service officers are on duty in a heightened regime — the purpose of the measure, as the agency puts it, is to prevent artificial traffic jams and road traffic accidents on the capital's streets (the announcement was published by the outlet Zamon.uz).

What drivers are asked to do

Drivers are reminded of three practical requirements: strictly observe traffic rules, keep a safe distance from the vehicle ahead, and follow the signals of road patrol officers at intersections. The last point is especially relevant in difficult conditions: manual traffic direction at intersections is one of the tools the service uses to relieve bottlenecks during jams. The announcement is of a preventive nature: it does not report any specific major accidents or street closures, and the publication does not provide data on the actual road situation on November 10, 2026.
