Situation with updated traffic lights
In addition, the Center for Traffic Management reported that this year, traffic lights that comply with the requirements of the new DSTU 4092:2024 "Road traffic safety. Road traffic lights. General technical conditions", which came into force on May 1, 2025, were not installed in Kyiv.
It should be recalled that on May 1, 2025, a new version of the State Standard DSTU 4092:2024 "Road traffic safety. Road traffic lights. General technical conditions" came into force in Ukraine.
The new DSTU norms were adopted to harmonize Ukrainian legislation with European standards.
Among the main differences of the new traffic lights:
• more intense and saturated green color;
• updated chevron appearance of arrows on traffic lights indicating the direction of movement.
According to information from the State Enterprise "National Institute for Infrastructure Development", which is the developer of DSTU 4092:2024, the innovations specified therein will apply only to new traffic lights (which will be installed) and will in no way affect traffic light objects whose service life has not expired.
