The condition of the road infrastructure in Nalchik has given rise to criticism of officials.

Constant traffic jams, lack of parking spaces, and absence of well-equipped sidewalks complicate movement at the intersection of Chernyshevsky and Zatishye streets, a local resident complained on social media. Other Nalchik residents, commenting on his complaint, pointed out parking issues and traffic organization on other streets, and criticized officials.

One of the local residents complained about traffic jams and the lack of well-equipped sidewalks at the intersection of Chernyshevsky and Zatishye streets. His complaint was published on September 28 by the Instagram*-public chp.nalchik. The Nalchik resident noted that this area is used for access to the residential complex "University", a kindergarten, parking for the Kabardino-Balkarian State University (KBSU), and a hospital. According to the author of the appeal, due to chaotically parked cars, it is impossible to walk or drive normally there.

As of 07:45 MSK on September 29, this post in the Instagram*-public chp.nalchik, which has about 526 thousand followers, received 302 likes and 57 comments.

Some commentators linked the problem to the inaction of the authorities and the organization of road space. "This happens every morning and evening, it's impossible to get in and out. I hope they notice this problem at least now," wrote zalya_.

"I absolutely agree. Well, no one wants to deal with this in our republic," pointed out user turtle.8635791.

"Look at Baysultanov, they repaired the road, now there are two lanes, for what? To park in one lane?" asked tley07.

Other users pointed out the lack of parking spaces and the concentration of a large number of facilities in one area. "The thing is that everything was initially concentrated in one place – the university, hospitals, kindergartens, colleges, dormitories," noted user marmeladni_30.

"Today I just looked at why this lawn can't be removed near the former cafeteria and make a parking lot," wrote amina.k.massaj.

"Parking for people needs to be made because you can't leave cars on the road," pointed out k.asl.sh.

Commentators also called for increased control over parking. "Recently, the number of drivers is increasing every day. They still say: fuel crisis, yeah, of course, there are just more cars. The indifference of drivers is becoming more and more striking," wrote user zaruba07.

"It's time to introduce towing into action, then drivers will understand, and fines. The traffic police are not working at all," believes katy.251414.

As of 07:45 MSK on September 29, there are no comments on the Nalchik administration's website regarding the local resident's complaint about traffic jams and the lack of well-equipped sidewalks at the intersection of Chernyshevsky and Zatishye streets.
