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 on the toll roads M-4 "Don" and M-11 "St. Petersburg - Moscow", the newspaper reports. "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 the 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, and 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 since 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 of the roadway. 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 traffic violations: 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 \u200b\u200beducational institutions. However, outside the city, the expert believes, on the contrary, one can think about the liberalization of the speed limit.
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,” Mitroshin noted.
Recently, the traffic police has adopted a large number of amendments to the rules of the road. Many car owners even demand to introduce an extra course in driving schools to study these changes in traffic rules.
Traditionally, special attention in traffic rules is paid to traffic in settlements. The speed of movement in cities and towns is always significantly lower than on highways. This limitation is easy to explain. Pedestrians are very vulnerable to accidents, they are not protected by the airbag and the metal frame of the car. Even a low speed of 80 km / h by automotive standards can become fatal for a pedestrian or lead to extremely serious injuries.
Traffic speed
Traffic rules regulate in detail the speed limit for all types of cars. The main categories are the following parameters:
- Terrain;
- Vehicle type - truck / car;
- The presence of dangerous goods in the car;
- The presence of people in the car - the movement is carried out without passengers or there are people in the vehicle (especially children or groups of people).
In addition, additional road signs can regulate the maximum speed limit. You cannot ignore them and allow speeding.
The rules are based on two important concepts:
- The first concept is the braking distance of vehicles.... The concept is derived exclusively from physical laws. The braking distance is the distance that the vehicle travels with the brake pedal depressed. Distance is influenced by speed, road surface, vehicle weight.
- The second concept is stopping distance... The concept means the distance in meters that the car will travel to a complete stop from the moment the driver detects a dangerous situation. As it is not difficult to guess, the stopping distance consists of two components - the speed of the driver's reaction to a dangerous situation, plus the braking distance itself. Many factors affect the reaction rate. These factors include visibility and a relatively subjective concept - the psychophysiological state of the driver.
If there is poor lighting or fog on the roadway, all this will lead to a slower reaction of the driver in case of danger. In addition, the driver himself may not concentrate (for example, due to lack of sleep), which will similarly lead to an increase in stopping distance. Safety depends on concentration - personal, pedestrian, and other drivers. If you approach the issue inattentively, drive with violations, for non-compliance with traffic rules, you should prepare for the payment of a fine or even criminal punishment.
Based on physical laws, statistics and international practice in the traffic rules, speed limits were developed, provided for different areas and conditions.
Car speed
Cars are the most common vehicles; almost every family has it.
The standard limits for "cars" are the following frames:
- Speed \u200b\u200blimit in the village - 60 kilometers / hour;
- The maximum speed outside the city (settlements) is 90 kilometers / hour;
- The permitted speed on the highway and on the motorway is 110 kilometers / hour.
There is one more important nuance in this list. In courtyards, that is, directly in residential areas, the speed is limited to a minimum, no more than 20 km / h. The risk of an accident with a pedestrian in a residential area is much higher than just on a busy road passing at a relative distance from apartment buildings. Thus, speed limiting is a valid and reasonable requirement.
If vehicles are being towed, then a limit of 50 km / h is set for all types of terrain. But for courtyard areas, the entire previous rule applies - no more than 20 km / h. In addition, you should pay attention to the signs when driving.
There are three types of signs (see below):
- Prohibition sign (No. 1 and No. 2) - reduces the maximum speed, can often be found in areas under repair or near schools, hospitals, and other public places;
- Prescriptive sign (№3) - sets the speed for this section of the road. For example, it can be equal to 90 kilometers per hour in order not to create unnecessary traffic jams;
- Recommended sign (No. 4 and No. 5 (ending zone)) - is similar to the prescriptive sign, but it is advisory and not mandatory.
- speed limit sign;
- speed limit sign temporarily;
- sign limiting the minimum speed of movement by car;
- recommended speed sign;
- end of the sign's coverage area, recommended speed.
Truck Speeds
There are increased demands on trucks for many reasons. A cargo vehicle is more difficult to control due to its weight and dimensions. The braking distance of a truck will be much longer than that of a passenger car. In addition, the truck is difficult to turn around, driving requires a lot of experience and dexterity from the driver.
For "light" trucks weighing up to 3500 kilograms, restrictions apply:
- the maximum speed in the village is up to 60 km / h;
- the maximum speed outside the city and on the motorway is up to 110 km / h.
But freight traffic is often carried out by more massive vehicles weighing several times the limit of 3500 kilograms. These trucks are subject to the following restrictions:
- For a settlement - 60 kilometers / hour;
- The maximum speed outside the city / village is 70 kilometers / hour;
- The permitted speed on the motorway is 90 kilometers per hour.
If the vehicle is transporting dangerous goods, special rules apply. Depending on the type of cargo, different standards apply. Common to all is the ban on overtaking, overtaking is prohibited at speeds above 30 km / h. There are also urban areas in which the movement of a truck with dangerous goods is strictly prohibited.
Trucks with passengers in the back must adhere to the limit of 60 km / h... The rule also applies when transporting children. If organized transportation of children is made, for example, to a summer camp, then it is not allowed to exceed the established limit.

Video: Road speed and speed limits
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 drive at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, read the site'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, speed limits of up to 50 kilometers per hour are established in 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 Volochok, 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 of the M4 Don highway, the maximum speed is limited to 110 kilometers per hour. This decision was made in order to ensure road safety during the winter period of road operation. In summer, the speed limit in this section will again be set at around 130 kilometers per hour.
Currently, 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"). The exact dates when these innovations will take effect, and the specific sections of these routes in the Moscow region have not yet been named.
Requirements for highways
A modern car with a powerful engine, streamlined body, improved suspension, high-quality rubber can reach speeds of 200 km per hour and more without any problems.
In practice, it has been established that the power qualities inherent in a car are necessary in cases of short-term acceleration when overtaking or when overcoming hills.
In reality, comfortable and safe control of the car is carried out at a speed of 100-150 kilometers per hour, and this is provided that the road along which the car is moving meets the standards and GOSTs.
There are few highways in Russia where you can reach the maximum speed allowed by traffic rules.
In the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, with additions and changes as amended on July 25, 2017, the permitted speed on the motorway is set within 110 km per hour and up to 130 km per hour on certain sections.
In the new edition of the traffic rules, we once again turn to the definition of a motorway and find an explanation that this is a road that has carriageways in each direction with a dividing strip or with a road fence between them.
The motorway does not intersect with other roads at the same level, it does not intersect with the railway, tram tracks, paths for cyclists and pedestrians.
The rules state that the motorway is marked with sign 5.1... It must have 4 or more lanes. For each lane, a width of 3.75 m and a shoulder of at least 3.75 m are determined, and a six-meter dividing strip has been installed.
In other words, on the highway, the driver can accelerate the car to the speed allowed by the rules, and quickly and comfortably overcome the path.
Compared to other countries, there are not many highways in Russia. Statistics give different numbers. We can say that such roads are only 8% of the total.
Most of the class 1A roads (this is how highways are designated) are located in the European part of the country, and they go mainly from Moscow in different directions.
These are the highways M2 "Crimea", M4 "Don", M9 "Baltia", M7 "Volga", M11 Moscow - St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg, these are the KAD and WHSD roads. In other regions, the highways are Perm - Yekaterinburg, Kemerovo - Leninsk-Kuznetsky.
In the future, Rosavtodor and Avtodor, the main players in the road construction market, will reconstruct and build a relatively small number of highways.
In general, the country does not have a single interconnected motorway network. Highways are separate sections of federal highways.
There are no restrictions on the minimum speed on the roads for cars in Russia, but the restriction on the minimum speed on the motorway is established by the rules of the road.
So, in paragraph 16 "Driving on the motorway" it is indicated that the movement of vehicles whose technical characteristics or condition does not allow them to reach speeds of more than 40 km per hour are prohibited.
Thus, you should drive on the motorway at a speed of more than 40 km / h.
If a car breaks down on the road and cannot travel at a higher speed, the rules instruct the driver to stop, move the car to the side of the right, behind a solid line, and take action to call a repair service or a tow truck.
For driving on the motorway at a speed of less than 40 km per hour, the driver can be fined.
In clause 10 of the rules "Travel speed" the legislator has established the maximum possible speed for various vehicles when driving on the highway:
- For motorcycles, cars and trucks with a maximum permissible mass not exceeding 3.5 tons, a maximum speed of 110 km per hour is allowed.
- Intercity and small-seater buses - no more than 90 km per hour.
- Buses, cars with trailers, trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons - 90 km per hour.
- Trucks transporting people in the back - up to 60 km per hour.
- Transport for organized groups of children - up to 60 km per hour.
In the same paragraph of the rules of the road in a note, the legislator assigns to the owners or owners of roads the right to allow the movement of certain types of transport on certain sections of highways at speeds up to 130 km per hour.
The main requirement for the provision of such a speed limit is compliance with the conditions by the owner to ensure safe traffic on the specified section of the route.
Already now, the permitted maximum speed on Russian highways of 130 km / h has allowed owners of 1A motorways to provide the maximum speed limit in some sections.
For example, Avtodor has set a speed limit of 130 km per hour on the M11 “Moscow - St. Petersburg” highway from 01.08.2017 within the boundaries of 258 km - 334 km. At this point, the road bypasses the city of Vyshny Volochok.
According to the state-owned company Avtodor, the same speed exists on two small sections of the Don-M4 road located in the Moscow region.
Let's remind that the road sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" with the number 130 will warn drivers about the new speed limit on the road.
In 2009, by a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, rules were established for the classification of roads and their categories were designated. According to the traffic conditions and the possibilities of access to them, the roads were divided into the following classes:
- highway - road category 1A;
- high-speed road (category 1B);
- normal road (other categories established).
The main difference between a motorway and an expressway is that the motorway has no junctions at the same level, and the expressway allows single-level junctions for access to it no more than 5 kilometers later.
Roads of category 1A and 1B differ in terms of design speed... For the motorway it is 150 km per hour, and for the expressway 120 km per hour. The design speed is a measure that indicates the maximum speed allowed for safe driving conditions.
The maximum speed limits on certain sections of Russian highways are set after the owners have completed complex procedures that guarantee safe traffic and provide infrastructure with maximum comfort for its participants.
Federal highways have become known, on which they 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, reports "Moscow 24".
Until the end of August 2013, the speed will be increased to 110 km / h on two sections of the Novoryazanskoe highway (M5): from 1022 to 1031 km - near 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 which we will ask to increase the speed on it to 130 km per hour. In 2016, the overhaul of the Simferopol highway will be completed: now an additional lane is being built there in each direction, after which the speed will increase. The 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 on country roads to 110 km / h thanks to amendments to the traffic rules, which came 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
