'Driving to Kansk is a gamble': Highway woes after FSI cadets' deaths

Residents of Krasnoyarsk Krai have harshly criticized the Krasnoyarsk-Kansk highway in both directions after a crash that killed five people. Recall that drivers call it the «road/highway of death».

Here is what is being written about the highway in our Telegram channel:

«People die there every day. Can»t something be done to fix it? For example, widen the road. Many trucks use the highway, and everyone tries to overtake them,« writes a user with the username Tatyana.

«Driving towards Kansk is a gamble: 200 kilometers of highway with one lane in each direction. No dividers, nothing, and the traffic flow is simply overwhelming,» adds a user with the username Alexander Kotov.

«When will this highway be made multi-lane and separated by barriers from oncoming traffic??? How many more people must die?» writes a user with the username Ekaterina L.

«Is it possible to make the road to Kansk safe?» asks a user with the username Natasha.

«It is possible. Only no one needs it,» replies the previously mentioned reader of NGS24.RU with the username Ekaterina L.

«[Horror] the road is [a mess], yesterday I was driving to [Krasnoyarsk] in the evening too. But thank God I didn»t get into that mix. The highway is all in potholes, ruts up to Kuskun. Even the road from Chita to Ulan-Ude is better. The asphalt sinks by 10% every day, the last time I drove was on New Year«s and it was slightly better. Shame on our road workers!» writes a user with the username braap in the discussion of the Telegram channel «Emergency Krasnoyarsk».

«What a horror. No wonder the Kansk-Krasnoyarsk tract is called the road of death. When will we get one-way traffic?» writes a user with the username Lyubov Shtark in this discussion.

«The main culprit of this accident and all accidents on this deadly highway is those who still cannot make four lanes. They just can»t get enough of deaths,« adds in the same discussion a user with an unreadable username.

All available information on the accident is collected by NGS24.RU in a special section on the site, as well as in an online broadcast.
