Ufa welcomes All-Russian "Light Race-2017" crew

UFA, 30 May 2017. /Bashinform News Agency, Alfiya Agliullina/. Today, on May 30, the crew of the All-Russian "Light Race-2017" arrives in Ufa. This is the first social expedition devoted to the search for the most dangerous and dark roads in Russia. Its participants, driving through the regions, collect complaints from residents about the unlit streets, courtyards, sections of highways.
The organizers of the campaign equipped their car with special lights so that the townspeople could easily notice them and share with information.
The "Light Race-2017" started in Khabarovsk on May 15. Total, the crew of the light-vehicle will spend six weeks on the way. During this time, the participants of the campaign will travel 20 thousand kilometers and visit 36 cities across the country. The race will finish in Kazan, where it will arrive on June 23. The collected data will be shared with the manufacturers of lighting equipment and, perhaps, this will help to solve the problem of insufficient illumination of cities.
