The permitted speed limit is planned to be increased on several sections of the routes in the Pskov Region and the Perm Territory. In addition, the speed limit will be increased by toll roads M-4 "Don" and M-11 "St. Petersburg - Moscow", according to the newspaper "News" with reference to the Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor).
The speed limit in the Pskov region will be increased from 90 km / h to 110 km / h on sections of the M-9 "Baltiya" highway, as well as on the R-23, R-56 and A-212 roads. The same changes await the section of the R-242 highway from Perm to Yekaterinburg.
Now in Russian Federation there are 20 sections with a speed limit of 110 km / h. Rosavtodor plans to increase the limit on the routes R-22 "Kaspiy", A-289 from Krasnodar to Kerch, R-404 from Tyumen to Khanty-Mansiysk, as well as on the roads M-8 "Kholmogory", R-217 "Kavkaz", M -5 "Ural" and A-370 "Ussuri".
However, before increasing the speed limit, a number of conditions must be met, the agency stressed. It is necessary to provide separate traffic and pedestrian flows, install artificial electric lighting, build a barrier in the middle of the roadway and along the side of the road, install anti-glare screens.
Increasing the maximum speed limit while meeting increased safety requirements reduces the accident rate on the highways, added in. This is evidenced by the results collected in the course of research on test sites, starting in 2013.
The chairman of the "Movement of motorists of Russia" is convinced that certain conditions are necessary on the roads to increase the speed limit, reports NSN .
“If a highway mode has been created on some highway, then please, you can allow a speed of 110 km / h there, and 130 km / h on some sections. This is not prohibited by the current rules, but it should be precisely the highway mode: no pedestrians, no traffic lights, rigidly divided lanes in different directions, no left turns and turns, and good quality road bed. If these conditions are met, this is a highway with all the ensuing consequences, and there may be a permitted speed of 110 km / h or more, ”the automobile activist said.
Back in mid-December, Russia also received an order from the government - to prepare a project for the return of fines for exceeding the speed limit by 10 km / h. It is noted that exceeding the speed limit is one of the most common violations of the rules. road traffic: In 11 months of 2018 alone, 81.3 million orders were issued for speeding by 20-40 km / h.
According to the president of the expert center "Movement without Danger", it is reasonable to reduce the speed threshold in cities, especially taking into account the need to ensure security in the area of educational institutions. However, outside the city, the expert believes, you can, on the contrary, think about liberalization speed mode.
According to traffic safety expert Katerina Solovyova, there is no data that could confirm an increase in the number of accidents due to speeding by 10-20 km / h. FAN... “Where the authorities wanted to achieve a flow rate of 60 km / h, there have been signs“ 40 ”for a long time, so there is no problem,” the expert noted.
Previously, it introduced a moratorium on changes in traffic rules. According to Dmitry Mitroshin, head of the Scientific Center for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation,
"Everyone is tortured and confused" by the amendments to the traffic rules. The moratorium concerns only the Ministry of Internal Affairs - both the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Transport will be able to amend the rules. “But we ourselves are determined to suspend this activity for now,” said Mitroshin.
Recently, the traffic police has adopted a large number of amendments to the rules of the road. Many car owners even require an extra course in driving schools to study these changes in traffic rules.
Many motorists think that almost any speed limit - be it a sign or a limit set in traffic rules - means that you can drive at the actual speed plus 20 km / h from the permitted speed. Well, this is almost always the case, but a small number of subtleties and other risks should be taken into account, which we want to talk about in this article.
How long can you drive under signs 40, 60, 70 km / h and others?
The first thing to mention is that if there is a speed limit sign, then you can go no more than the one indicated on it. The point here is not in traffic rules, but in other pitfalls. Yes, very often it is not punishable to drive with an excess of no more than 20 km / h, but this is not always the case.
So, the main answer is given to us by the Code of Administrative Offenses. It is in its 1st part of Article 12.9, which is responsible for fines and deprivation of rights for speeding, that it is established that exceeding by 20 km / h is not punishable by any fine at all.
To be more precise, the 1st part has generally ceased to be in force since the distant 2013 by the corresponding Federal Law No. 196-FZ. And earlier it was possible to exceed the established speed limit by no more than 10 km / h with impunity. Exceeding by 10-20 km / h was then punished with a fine of only 100 rubles. Few people probably remember that there were such fines at all, because today the minimum is 500 rubles.
But if you drive more than 20 km / h faster than the permitted speed, then you will be fined from 500 rubles, or you may be deprived of your license for up to 1 year.
You should also take into account the error of the measuring device - but this only applies to cameras with automatic fixation. The cameras in the hands of the inspectors on the road practically do not take into account the error, although, of course, there is one.
With automatic fixation cameras, this error is usually about 1-2 km / h.
Thus, the following factors influence the selected speed in the area of the speed limit sign:
- you can drive in excess of 20 km / h without a fine under the Code of Administrative Offenses,
- you can drive with a slight excess of 1-2 km / h due to the taken into account the error of cameras.
But it's not that simple!
The fact is that the speed error is not only in the cameras for photographing violations, but also in the speedometer of your car. Most often, the speed value can be underestimated or overestimated due to a different wheel radius, different from that with which the speedometer is calibrated. So, if you put wheels on more than those with which you bought the car, then the real speed will be higher than the speedometer shows, and then the above values for your speedometer are not suitable, and you can drive at a lower speed. Be careful!
In addition, and this is already good news, for most cars, the speedometers initially show about 1-3 km / h higher than the real speed. Therefore, if you slightly exceeded the limit indicated on the sign plus 20-21 km / h, then, most likely, you will not receive a fine for exceeding.
Features of Avtodoria
Meanwhile, the same error should be eliminated when it comes to Avtodoria - the types of cameras that work in pairs on the same section of the road are located on short distance from each other and measure the average speed.
In this case, the unpunished speeding according to the Code of Administrative Offenses by no more than 20 km / h still works, but the error is practically excluded.
Why can't the speed limit be exceeded, except for the fine?
Everything is very simple! To do this, you just need to understand that violation and punishment are not the same thing. If, with a restriction, for example, 60 km / h, you drove 79, then there will be no fine for this, but traffic violations- specifically paragraph 10.1 - this does not cancel. And such a violation increases a number of other risks.
The first and most common risk is road traffic accidents. Exceeding the speed limit affects the degree of culpability, regardless of the fine, of course. But everything is not so simple - if you drove 50 where you can only go 40, this, of course, will not automatically make you the culprit. But in situations where everything is not so simple - in case of mutual fault, the judge considering the case, when determining guilt, may attribute the speeding to an increase in the degree of your guilt.
Also, if you drove with an unpunished excess, but still violated, this will definitely be an aggravating factor when choosing a punishment, when a fork is possible, for example:
- fine or deprivation of rights under some articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses,
- an increase in the period of imprisonment where such a period is represented by a range for the choice of the body considering the case,
- deterioration of the position of the guilty person in a criminal case (for example, if the driver knocked down a pedestrian to death or with serious consequences at the crossing).
What is the penalty if you go faster?
500 rubles. This is if you still a little missed the speed that is not punishable by a fine and exceeded at least 1 km / h from the "forgiven" +20 km / h plus camera errors.
If you did not notice the speed limit at all and drove much faster than the speed limit, then the following penalties await you. Let's take the 40 kilometers per hour limit as an example:
- if you drove 61-80 km / h (exceeded by 20-40 km / h) - a fine of 500 rubles,
- if you drove 81-100 km / h (exceeded by 40-60 km / h) - a fine of 1500 rubles,
- if you drove 101-120 km / h (exceeded by 60-80 km / h) - a fine of 2000 rubles or deprivation for 4-6 months (there can be no deprivation on the camera, only a fine),
- if you drove faster than 121 km / h (exceeded by more than 80 km / h) - a fine of rubles or deprivation for six months,
- if you drove 81-100 km / h (exceeded by 40-60 km / h) and earlier for about a year were already involved for the same violation - a fine of -2500 rubles,
- if you drove faster than 101 km / h (exceeded by more than 60 km / h) and earlier for about a year were already involved for the same violation - a fine of 5,000 rubles if the excess was recorded on a camera, or deprivation for a year if you were caught by an inspector Traffic police on the road.
How do I know if I have been fined?
If you just drove with a slight excess under the sign 40, 60, 70 or any other, then you cannot immediately find out whether the camera issued a fine or not.
As a rule (depending on the region and type of camera), the fine in the period from 2-3 days to 2-3 weeks (in the case of Avtodoria, as a rule, the fine comes later) begins to be displayed on the official website of the traffic police and on State services. Later (here already) a copy of the resolution with a photo of the excess will come.
Became known federal highways, which will soon be allowed to accelerate to 110 km / h and 130 km / h. This was told by the chief engineer of FKU "Tsentravtomagistral" Alexander Kolisnichenko, according to "Moscow 24".
Until the end of August 2013, the speed will be increased to 110 km / h on two sections of the Novoryazanskoye highway (M5): from 1022 to 1031 km - not far from Samara, and also by 1820 - 1844 km - near the city of Zlatoust. In addition, in August the speed will be increased on the Kazan - Orenburg highway, not far from Kazan - on the 11-19 km section.
In September, the section of the A-114 “Vologda - Novaya Ladoga” highway on the section from 7 to 14 km will receive the status of a high-speed road. At the end of October, up to 110 km / h can also be accelerated on the Yaroslavskoe highway (M8 "Kholmogory") on a section from 96 to 115 km on the border of the Moscow and Vladimir regions.
In the future, a section should appear on the M8 highway where it will be allowed to accelerate to 130 km / h. It will be the segment from 16 to 47 km, but this will not happen until 2018. In the future, it is also planned to accelerate the M2 “Crimea” highway (Simferopolskoe highway), A104 “Dubna” (Dmitrovskoe highway) and the M9 “Baltia” highway (Novorizhskoe highway). “We will complete the reconstruction of the M9“ Baltiya ”from the Moscow Ring Road to the Big Concrete Ring in 2016, after that we will ask to increase the speed on it to 130 km per hour. Completed in 2016 overhaul Simferopol highway: now an additional lane is being built there in each direction, after that the speed will increase. Reconstruction of Dmitrovskoye Highway to the Small Concrete Ring will be completed in 2018, after which the speed there will also grow to 130 km per hour, "Kolisnichenko explained.
Recall that it became possible to increase the speed on highways to 130 km / h and suburban highways to 110 km / h thanks to amendments to the traffic rules, which entered into force on August 6, 2013. At present, it is also known that up to 130 km / h will be allowed to accelerate on the M4 "Don" highway on the section from the Moscow Ring Road to 122 kilometers

The speed limit on the highways of Russia may change: the State Duma proposes to allow acceleration outside the city to 100-110 km / h. Such an initiative was put forward by the head of the Duma Committee on Transport, Yevgeny Moskvichev, and the idea was supported by the Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor). The opinions of independent experts were divided: some believe that such a decision is long overdue, others are sure that the road network in Russia is not yet ready for such speeds.
The head of the State Duma Committee on Transport, Yevgeny Moskvichev, said on Tuesday that it is necessary to "consider the issue" of increasing the maximum permitted speed. “We must train specialists who would think together with us how to make maximum speed on the roads it was not 90 km / h, but 100-110 km / h, I think it’s time to put it on, ”he said.“ Together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we must think about it, because speed is important. ”
Traffic rules set the speed limit, which is applied by default: in residential areas - 20 km / h, in urban areas - 60 km / h, on a suburban road - 90 km / h, for highways - 110 km / h. The maximum speed allowed by the traffic rules - 130 km / h - is entered on highways with special signs.
As explained to Kommersant, Mr. Moskvichev, to make changes to the traffic rules and other regulations not required: it will be enough to put new signs on the routes. According to him, to discuss this issue, it may be necessary to invite representatives of Rosavtodor and Avtodor to the transport committee. “Let them explain why this cannot be done,” he explained to Kommersant. “I believe that as a pilot passage, you can take, for example, the highway from Moscow to Rostov (section M4.- "B"), there is a bump stop, lighting, and look at the results. " Another option is to introduce a speed limit of 110 km / h only on the leftmost lane and maintain 90 km / h in the remaining lanes.
“We have had a 90-kilometer limit since the 70s, when the roads were completely different,” Evgeny Moskvichev told Kommersant. We need to make some kind of breakthrough in this area.
Now people have to constantly slow down, monitor the speed, and so a person will calmly go 110-120 km / h. On highways, in general, I think, it is possible to introduce limits of 130-150 km / h. "
Let us recall that the discussions about the maximum speed on highways and city streets have been going on for many years. In 2014, the Ministry of Internal Affairs developed a bill returning a fine for exceeding the limit by more than 10 km / h (now you can exceed the permitted speed by 20 km / h with impunity), but the amendments, as a result, did not reach the State Duma. The capital's authorities have also long advocated a toughening of the speed limit, but so far nothing has changed: on the Moscow Ring Road and the Third Transport Ring, the regime adopted under Yuri Luzhkov remains at 100 km / h and 80 km / h, respectively.
But in 2017, the authorities of the Moscow region installed 50 km / h restriction signs on many highways near Moscow (instead of the previous 60 km / h), reconfiguring the cameras. On federal highways, on the contrary, every year more and more sections are opened where it is allowed to accelerate to 130 km / h - such a restriction, in particular, is valid on a number of M4 sections (this year it is planned to increase them due to the sections in Tula and Rostov areas), bypassing Vyshny Volochek.
The idea has already been supported by Rosavtodor. According to the ministry, out of 50.1 thousand km of federal highways, 15% are of the first category (for example, 110-130 km / h), 41% - of the second category, 33% - of the third category, 9% - of the fourth category, 2% - the fifth category.
"An increase in the maximum permitted speed of cars from 90 km / h is possible, but subject to the requirements for ensuring traffic safety," the press service of the state-owned company Avtodor, which manages 2.8 thousand highways, explained to Kommersant.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has not yet reacted to the proposal of Mr. Moskvichev.
“On highways of the highest technical category, the speed can be increased to 130 km / h anyway, on the network of roads of“ junior ”categories it is pointless to increase it,” says Mikhail Blinkin, head of the Public Council of the Russian Ministry of Transport. For example, in the United States, many freeways used to be allowed to ride almost without restrictions, there were signs of 100 miles per hour. Now - 85, 55 ".
“Ensuring and increasing traffic capacity includes not only prohibitions on parking and installation of traffic lights, but also measures aimed at increasing traffic intensity and speed limits,” says lawyer, road safety expert Katerina Solovyova. “And this should be done at least for highways of federal and regional significance. It will also be necessary to carry out measures for the arrangement there ”. According to her, the implementation of the idea could "become an important milestone in the development of the organization of road traffic in the country."
Grigory Shukhman, an expert in photo-video recording systems, calls the initiative "unfeasible": "The traffic police will be against it, because taking into account the non-punishable excess, the drivers will drive 120-130 km / h." Petr Shkumatov, the traffic coordinator for Blue Buckets, believes that the speed should be limited in traffic rules to 90 km / h by default for routes without a bump stop, 110 km / h - for roads with a bump stop and at least two lanes in one direction and 130 km / h - in the presence of artificial lighting.
New speed limits on the highways of the Moscow Region are constantly being introduced. And only recently, 500 new photo-video cameras have been installed in such places. If the driver did not have time to slow down, penalties are inevitable. About the routes on which the latest restrictions were introduced and where in the Moscow region it is allowed to travel at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, read the website's material.
New restrictions
Source: Main Directorate of State Administrative and Technical Supervision of the Moscow Region Since June 15, on the most regional roads of the Moscow region passing through settlements, a new speed limit has been established. The speed in some areas on them was limited to 50 kilometers per hour. We are talking about ten highways. The list includes: Pyatnitskoe highway, Yegoryevskoe, Mozhaiskoe, Starosimferopolskoe, Kashirskoe, Nosovikhinskoe, Rogachevskoe, Moscow-Zhukovsky highway, Shchelkovo-Fryanovo and Volokolamskoe highway.
On these roads, the speed limit to 50 kilometers per hour is set at 168 settlements... It was here that accidents took place, as a result of which 40% of people died in road accidents on the territory of the Moscow region. In most cases, we are talking about collisions with pedestrians, as well as about accidents that happened due to driving into the oncoming lane for overtaking.
Where speed is allowed up to 130 kilometers per hour
Source: Photobank of the Moscow Region, Alexander Kozhokhin Today in Russia there are only two highways on which there are sections with a permitted speed of 130 km / h - this is a 72-kilometer section of the paid bypass of Vyshny Volochyok, which is part of the future Moscow - St. Petersburg highway, and three sections of the M4 highway " Don". The latter are just located on the territory of the Moscow region. These are sections of the route from 51 km to 71 km, from 76 km to 103 km and from 113 km to 120 km.
It is important to note that from November 15, 2017 to April 5, 2018, on the 76-94 km section road M4 "Don" maximum speed is limited to 110 kilometers per hour. This decision was made in order to ensure road safety in winter period operation of the road. In summer, the speed limit in this section will again be set at around 130 kilometers per hour.
At present, the Moscow region is also considering the possibility of increasing the speed limit to 130 kilometers per hour on certain sections of the Simferopol highway (M2 "Crimea"), Dmitrovskoe highway (A104 "Dubna") and Novorizhskoe highway (M9 "Baltia"). Exact dates, when these innovations come into force, and specific sections of these routes in the Moscow region have not yet been named.
