A crossing of Yaroslavskaya Street and Borisa Galushkina Street. Tramway tracks have no special right of way in this street.

A view of Borisa Galuskina street from the top of a railway overpass. the street is indeed very green. The lowest place here reminds of Kopytovka river, tubed many decades ago. I still cannot figure out why an open water has been so actively avoided when planning new districts. Anyway, the course of Kopytovka can be easily guessed in our days when one looks at Raketniy Boulevard and Zvyozdniy Boulevard, for the river flows right beneath them.

A Tatra T3 tramcar crosses the railway overpass. Here it stops for a few seconds before a steep downgrade (shown in the previous photo) .

Having crossed the railway, the road goes on under another name - Rostokinskiy Proyezd. It was laid in early 1950's at the edge of a large Sokolniki forest, simultaneously with the railway overpass construction. Today this district remains lightly urbanized. One of the largest sources of passengers is the Foreign Languages Institute (beyond the trees in this photo). Yet trams are always overcrowded with transit commuters.

And if one turns around, he will see a scenic landscape of Sokolniki forest, being one of the preferred places for a weekend rest of very many Muscovites. This cosy place is located just a few tram stops from a noisy VDNKh district, with its crowds, markets and shops, countless cars moving there and back along Prospekt Mira...

Rostokinskiy Proyezd ends at the crossing with Bogorodskoye Shosse. The tramcar in this photo is turning towards Bogorodskoye community, while cars and trucks are trying to agree who must move the first. Unfortunately, too many drivers in Moscow suffer from a road rage (or, less politely, from a lack of good manners and good will towards other drivers, pedestrians and mass transit).
