 look for these signs when you
need to cross the ro by sue_stone
It took us a while to notice these signs….and then realised they are everywhere – they show you were there are pedestrian subways under the roads.
A much safer option, and interesting as well, as many of these subways had shops in them, selling all sorts of items, from CDs & DVDs to clothing and food. Leave a Comment

 Moscow traffic Lubyankaskaya
ploshchad by TheWanderingCamel
You don't even want to think about crossing a busy road above ground. Some of the roads are as wide as major highways and the drivers think they're on a racetrack. As for crosswalks -they're just an excuse to go faster.
Other traffic problems include monumental traffic jams. This is not such a problem for most tourists - you'll probably be using the metro to get around rather than being driven. If you are being escorted around by car however, these jams can seriously eat into the time you have to sightsee. If you can do so without causing offense, suggest you use the metro (you can always say it is on your list of Moscow "must-sees"). Otherwise you could end up spending a lot of your time smelling diesel fumes rather than the roses. Leave a Comment

 You can run in the underground
tunnels! by saccharinicity, 2 more photos
Underground tunnels are used to cross many major intersections, I highly suggest using these when you can, or you risk your life...and risking your life after waiting for 30 minutes is just not worth it. Underground passages are marked with a little blue sign with a little man walking down some stairs. It is pretty self-explanatory. Some metro stops also have underground passageways.
On smaller streets, you MUST always be paying attention. From what I saw there, drivers do not yield to pedestrians at any time. However, you must be confident and just walk, they will have no choice but to stop, but you cannot hesitate, it will be rare if anyone stops to let you cross. If you are unsure, just wait for some locals to start walking into traffic and follow them closely, preferably keeping them closer to the oncoming traffic. Leave a Comment

 Traffic in Moscow by HORSCHECK
Cars drive at almost full speed in the city centre, especially on the multi-lane bridges over the Moskva.
For pedestrians it is sometimes very difficult and dangerous to cross the large roads. Sometimes it might be better to consider taking another route, it could save your life! Leave a Comment

 Traffic jams, Moscow by kris-tLeave a Comment

The longest underground road in Russia is the Lefortovo Tunnel, 1.4 miles long.
It is on the third ring road around Moscow.
Combined with the erratic behavior of many drivers, it is not a place to go unless you must.
Here is a clip from YouTube of why to be careful!
