Yekaterinburg is one of the ten Russian megacities with the largest car fleet (0.437 megacars were registered in the city in 2014), which has been intensively increasing in recent years (by 6–14% annually).<ref>{{Cite news|last=Ведомости|date=10 March 2015|title=Автопарк России увеличился в 2014 году на 1 млн легковых машин|url=http://www.vedomosti.ru/auto/news/2015/03/10/avtopark-rossii-uvelichilsya-v-2014-godu-na-1-mln-legkovih-mashin|access-date=8 October 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Вы точно человек?|url=https://cyberleninka.ru/article/n/problemy-obschestvennogo-transporta-kak-obekta-avtotransportnoy-infrastruktury-krupnogo-goroda-na-primere-mo-gorod-ekaterinburg|access-date=8 October 2017|website=КиберЛенинка}}</ref> The level of car ownership in 2015 has reached 410 cars per 1,000 people.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=https://xn--l1a.xn--80acgfbsl1azdqr.xn--p1ai/file/f178ca4ef81311e801b1264541cfcad5|title=ИТОГИ социально-экономического развития муниципального образования в 2015 году|date=2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210816065410/https://xn--l1a.xn--80acgfbsl1azdqr.xn--p1ai/file/f178ca4ef81311e801b1264541cfcad5|archive-date=16 August 2021|access-date=7 July 2022}}</ref> Its pace in the past few years has seriously exceeded the pace of development and the capacity of the road infrastructure. For the first time, transport problems started to appear in Yekaterinburg in the 1980s and though it did not seem threatening at first, the situation gets worse every year. Studies have shown that as early as 2005, the capacity limit for the road network was reached, which has now led to permanent congestion.<ref>{{Cite web|last1=Цариков А.А.|last2=Обухова Н.А.|last3=Оглы Мирзоев Н.З.|date=2015|title=Эволюция системы заторов на улично-дорожной сети города Екатеринбурга|url=https://www.usurt.ru/uploads/main/01r/56ab448ae80d7/14.pdf|type=журнал|edition=Эксплуатация автомобильного транспорта|location=Екатеринбург|publisher=Общероссийская общественная организация "Российская академия транспорта"|pages=74–86|issn=2311-164X|number=4|access-date=8 October 2017|archive-date=12 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160712102502/http://www.usurt.ru/uploads/main/01r/56ab448ae80d7/14.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> To increase the capacity of the street-road network, stage-by-stage reconstruction of streets is being carried out, as well as multi-level interchanges being built. In order to reduce the transit traffic, the Sverdlovsk Oblast administration announced two road projects in 2014: the Yekaterinburg Ring Road (EKAD) and an overpass road on Sovetskaya Street. The Yekaterinburg Ring Road would surround the largest municipalities of Yekaterinburg. Its purpose would be to help the city's economy and reduce traffic on the Middle Ring Road of the city, making it easier for civilians to commute around the city than going through the city's traffic congestion. Eventually, the Ring Road would connect to other federal roads in order for easier access between other Russian cities. Construction of the road started in the same year. The projects were assigned to the Ministry of Transport and Communications since the projects were crucial to the city's economy. Officials hope the road projects will build environments more conducive to improving local quality of life and outside investments. Completing these major inter-regional roads will increase productive traffic by 50% to 100%, improving the local economy with its ease of access to industries.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Reports|first=Yekaterinburg News|title=Sverdlovsk focusing on two road projects|language=en|url=http://yekaterinburgnews.com/stories/510450200-sverdlovsk-focusing-on-two-road-projects|url-status=dead|access-date=14 June 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171006112158/http://yekaterinburgnews.com/stories/510450200-sverdlovsk-focusing-on-two-road-projects|archive-date=6 October 2017}}</ref>
