Speed ​​limits on Russian roads - fines for speeding. The State Duma proposes to increase the speed on the roads Why you cannot exceed the speed limit, except for a fine

Many motorists think that almost any speed limit - be it a sign or a limit established in the 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 you should consider a small number of subtleties and other risks, which we want to talk about in this article.

How long can you drive under the signs of 40, 60, 70 km/h and others?

The first thing that should be mentioned is that if there is a speed limit sign, then you can drive no more than the speed indicated on it. The point here is not about traffic rules, but about other pitfalls. Yes, very often it is not punishable to drive in excess of no more than 20 km/h, but this is not always the case.

So, the Code of Administrative Offenses gives us the main answer. 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 20 km/h is not punishable by any fine at all.

To be more precise, Part 1 has generally lost force since the distant 2013 of the corresponding Federal Law No. 196-FZ. Previously, it was possible to exceed the established speed limit by no more than 10 km/h with impunity. Exceeding 10-20 km/h was then punishable by a fine of only 100 rubles. Few people probably remember that such fines existed 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 measuring instrument– but this only applies to automatic recording cameras. The cameras in the hands of inspectors on the road practically do not take into account the error, although, of course, it exists.

For automatic recording cameras, this error is usually about 1-2 km/h.

Thus, the selected speed in the area of ​​the speed limit sign is influenced by the following factors:

• you can drive in excess of 20 km/h without a fine under the Code of Administrative Offences,
• You can drive at a slight excess of 1-2 km/h due to the errors taken into account by the photo recording cameras.

But it's not that simple!

The fact is that speed errors occur not only in cameras that record 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 than the one with which the speedometer is calibrated. So, if you installed wheels larger than those with which you bought the car, then 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, most cars' speedometers initially show about 1-3 km/h higher speed than the real one. Therefore, if you slightly exceeded the limit indicated on the plus sign of 20-21 km/h, then most likely you will not receive a fine for exceeding it.

Features of Avtodoriya

Meanwhile, the same error should be excluded if we are talking about Avtodoriya - types of cameras that work in pairs on one section of the road, are located at a short distance from each other and measure average speed.

In this case, unpunished speeding according to the Code of Administrative Offenses by no more than 20 km/h still works, but the error is practically eliminated.

Why can't you exceed the speed limit except for a 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 limit of, for example, 60 km/h, you were driving 79, then there will be no fine for this, but traffic violations– specifically clause 10.1 – this does not cancel. And such a violation increases a number of other risks.

The first and most common risk is a traffic accident. Speeding affects the degree of guilt, regardless of the fine, of course. But it’s not so simple - if you drove 50 where you can only drive 40, this, of course, will not automatically make you the culprit. But in situations where not everything is so clear - with mutual guilt, the judge considering the case, when determining guilt, may attribute speeding to an increase in the degree of your guilt.

Also, if you drove at an unpunished speed, 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 for some articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses,
• increasing the term of deprivation where such a period is represented by a range at the discretion of the body considering the case,
• worsening of the position of the guilty person in a criminal case (for example, if a driver knocked down a pedestrian at a crossing to death or with grave consequences).

What will be the fine if you drive faster?

500 rubles. This is if you still slightly missed the speed limit and exceeded the “forgiven” speed by at least 1 km/h plus 20 km/h plus camera errors.

If you did not notice the speed limit at all and were driving significantly faster than the limited speed, then the following penalties await you. Let's take the 40 kilometers per hour limit as an example:

• if you were driving 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) - fine -1500 rubles,
• if you were driving 101-120 km/h (exceeded by 60-80 km/h) - a fine of 2000 rubles or imprisonment for 4-6 months (there cannot be imprisonment in a cell, only a fine),
• if you drove faster than 121 km/h (exceeded by more than 80 km/h) - a fine of rubles or imprisonment for six months,
• if you were driving 81-100 km/h (exceeded by 40-60 km/h) and have previously been charged for the same violation for about a year - a fine of 2500 rubles,
• if you were driving faster than 101 km/h (exceeded by more than 60 km/h) and had previously been charged for the same violation for about a year - a fine of 5,000 rubles if the excess was recorded on camera, or imprisonment for a year if you were caught by an inspector Traffic police on the road.

How do I know if I have received a fine?

If you have just driven slightly over the speed limit under a 40, 60, 70 or any other sign, 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 begins to be displayed on the official website of the traffic police and on State Services in the period from 2-3 days to 2-3 weeks (in the case of Avtodoriya, as a rule, the fine arrives later than ever). Later (here) you will receive a copy of the resolution with a photograph of the excess.

New speed limits on highways in the Moscow region are constantly being introduced. And just recently, 500 new photo and video recording cameras have been installed in such places. If the driver does not have time to slow down, fines are inevitable. For information on which routes 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 material on the portal website.

New restrictions

Source: Main Directorate of State Administrative and Technical Supervision of the Moscow Region From June 15, a new speed limit was established on the most regional roads of the Moscow region passing through populated areas. The speed in some areas was limited to 50 kilometers per hour. We are talking about ten highways. The list includes: Pyatnitskoye highway, Egoryevskoye, Mozhaiskoye, Starosimferopolskoye, Kashirskoye, Nosovikhinskoye, Rogachevskoye, Moscow-Zhukovsky highway, Shchelkovo-Fryanovo and Volokolamskoye highway.

On these roads, the speed limit of up to 50 kilometers per hour is set at 168 populated areas. It was here that accidents occurred, as a result of which 40% of people died in road accidents in the Moscow region. In most cases, we are talking about collisions with pedestrians, as well as accidents that occurred due to driving into the oncoming lane to overtake.

Where the speed limit is 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 Vyshny Volochok toll bypass, which is part of the future Moscow-St. Petersburg highway, and three sections of the M4 highway " Don". The latter are located in 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 section 76–94 kilometers of the M4 Don highway, the maximum speed is limited to 110 kilometers per hour. This decision adopted for safety reasons traffic during the winter period of road operation. In summer, the speed limit in this section will again be set at 130 kilometers per hour.

Currently, in the Moscow region, the possibility of increasing the speed limit to 130 kilometers per hour is also being considered on certain sections of the Simferopol highway (M2 “Crimea”), Dmitrovskoye highway (A104 “Dubna”) and Novorizhskoye highway (M9 “Baltia”). The exact dates when these innovations will come into force and specific sections of these routes in the Moscow region have not yet been announced.

Requirements for expressways

Became known federal highways, which will soon be allowed to accelerate to 110 km/h and 130 km/h. Alexander Kolisnichenko, chief engineer of the Tsentravtomagistral Federal Public Institution, spoke about this, Moscow 24 reports.
By 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 - near Samara, and also at 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 section 11-19 km.

In September status expressway will receive a section of the A-114 highway “Vologda - Novaya Ladoga” in the area from 7 to 14 km. At the end of October, it will also be possible to accelerate to 110 km/h on the Yaroslavskoye Highway (M8 Kholmogory) in the section from 96 to 115 km on the border of the Moscow and Vladimir regions.

In the future, there should also be a section on the M8 highway where speeds of up to 130 km/h will be allowed. This will be the section from 16 to 47 km, but this will not happen before 2018. In the future, it is also planned to speed up the M2 "Crimea" (Simferopol Highway), A104 "Dubna" (Dmitrovskoe Highway) and the M9 "Baltia" (Novorizhskoe Highway) 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 its speed to 130 km per hour. Will end in 2016 major renovation Simferopol highway: now an additional lane is being built there in each direction, after which the speed will increase. The reconstruction of the Dmitrovskoye Highway to the Small Concrete Ring will end in 2018, after which the speed there will also increase to 130 km per hour,” Kolisnichenko explained.

Let us remind you that increasing the speed on highways to 130 km/h and country roads to 110 km/h became possible thanks to amendments to the traffic rules, which came into force on August 6, 2013. Currently, it is also known that speeds of up to 130 km/h will be allowed on the M4 Don highway in the section from the Moscow Ring Road to 122 kilometers

The permitted speed limit is planned to be increased on several sections of highways in the Pskov region and Perm region. In addition, the speed limit will be increased by 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 Baltia highway, as well as roads R-23, R-56 and A-212. The same changes await the section of the P-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 roads P-22 "Caspian", A-289 from Krasnodar to Kerch, P-404 from Tyumen to Khanty-Mansiysk, as well as on the roads M-8 "Kholmogory", P-217 "Caucasus", M -5 "Ural" and A-370 "Ussuri".

However, before increasing the speed limit, a number of conditions must be met, the agency emphasized. It is necessary to ensure separated traffic and pedestrian flows, install artificial electric lighting, build a barrier fence in the middle of the roadway and along the roadsides, and install anti-glare screens.

Limit increase maximum speed subject to increased safety requirements, it reduces the accident rate on highways, they added. This is evidenced by the results collected during studies at test sites starting in 2013.

The Chairman of the Russian Motorists Movement is convinced that certain conditions on the roads are necessary to increase the speed limit, reports NSN .

“If a motorway mode has been created on some route, then please, a speed limit of 110 km/h can be allowed there, and in some areas even 130 km/h. Current rules this is not forbidden, but this must be exactly the mode of the motorway: no pedestrians, no traffic lights, strictly separated lanes in different directions, no left turns and U-turns, and good quality road surface. If these conditions are met, this is a highway with all the ensuing consequences, and the speed limit may be 110 km/h or more,” said the automobile activist.

Back in mid-December, Russia also received an order from the government to prepare a project to return 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 traffic rules: in just 11 months of 2018, 81.3 million decisions were issued for exceeding the speed limit by 20-40 km/h.

According to the president of the expert center "Traffic without danger", it is reasonable to reduce the speed limit in cities, especially taking into account the need to ensure safety in the area educational institutions. However, outside the city, the expert believes, one can, on the contrary, think about liberalizing the speed limit.

As traffic safety expert Katerina Solovyova notes, there is no data yet that could confirm the increase in the number of accidents due to speeding by 10-20 km/h, reports FAN. “Where the authorities wanted to achieve a flow speed of 60 km/h, there have been “40” signs for a long time, so there is no problem,” the expert noted.

Previously, it introduced a moratorium on changes to traffic rules. According to the head of the Scientific Center for Road Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, Dmitry Mitroshin,

“everyone is tortured and confused” by the amendments to the traffic rules. The moratorium applies only to the Ministry of Internal Affairs - both the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to make changes to the rules. “But we ourselves are determined to suspend this activity a little for now,” Mitroshin noted.

Recently, the traffic police have adopted a large number of amendments to the traffic rules. Many car owners are even demanding the introduction of an extra course in driving schools to study these changes in traffic rules.

A modern car with a powerful engine, streamlined body, improved suspension, quality tires It can reach speeds of 200 km per hour or more without any problems.

In practice, it has been established that the power qualities inherent in the car are necessary in cases of short-term acceleration when overtaking or when climbing hills.

In reality, comfortable and safe management 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 complies with standards and GOSTs.

There are few highways in Russia where you can reach the maximum speed allowed by traffic rules.

The traffic rules of the Russian Federation, with additions and changes as amended on July 25, 2017, set the permitted speed on the highway within 110 km per hour and up to 130 km per hour in certain sections.

IN new edition Traffic rules once again turn to the definition of the concept of a highway and find an explanation that this is a road that has carriageways in each direction with dividing strip or with a road fence between them.

The highway does not intersect with other roads at the same level, nor does it intersect with the railway, tram tracks, paths for cyclists and pedestrians.

The rules indicate that the highway is marked with sign 5.1. It must have 4 or more lanes. Each lane has a width of 3.75 m and a shoulder of at least 3.75 m, 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 cover the road quite quickly and comfortably.

In Russia, there are few highways compared to other countries. Statistics give different numbers. We can say that such roads are only 8% of the total.

Most of the roads of class 1A (as highways are designated) are located in the European part of the country, and they go mainly from Moscow in different directions.

These are the M2 “Crimea”, M4 “Don”, M9 “Baltic”, M7 “Volga”, M11 Moscow – St. Petersburg highways. In St. Petersburg these are the Ring Road and WHSD roads. In other regions, highways include the Perm - Yekaterinburg, Kemerovo - Leninsk-Kuznetsky highways.

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 connected highway network. Highways are separate sections of federal highways.

There are no minimum speed limits on roads for cars in Russia, but the minimum speed limit on highways is established by traffic rules.

Thus, paragraph 16 “Traffic on the highway” states that traffic is prohibited Vehicle, which specifications or the condition does not allow you to reach a speed of more than 40 km per hour.

Therefore, you should drive on the highway at a speed of more than 40 km/h.

If a car breaks down on the road and cannot drive at a higher speed, the rules instruct the driver to stop, move the car to the side of the road on the right behind solid line and take action to call a repair service or tow truck.

A driver may be fined for driving on a motorway at a speed less than 40 km per hour.

In paragraph 10 of the rules “Traffic speed”, the legislator established the maximum possible speed for various vehicles when driving on the highway:

1. For motorcycles, passenger cars and trucks with a permit maximum weight no more than 3.5 tons, a maximum speed of 110 km per hour is allowed.
2. Intercity and small buses - no more than 90 km per hour.
3. Buses, cars with trailers, trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons - 90 km per hour.
4. Trucks carrying people in the back - up to 60 km per hour.
5. Transport that transports organized groups children - up to 60 km per hour.

In the same paragraph of the traffic rules in the note, the legislator assigns to the owners or owners of roads the right to allow the movement of certain types of transport at a speed of up to 130 km per hour on certain sections of highways.

The main requirement for the provision of such a speed limit is the owner’s compliance with the conditions to ensure safe traffic on the specified section of the route.

Already, the permitted maximum speed on Russian highways of 130 km/h has allowed owners of category 1A roads to ensure the maximum speed limit in certain sections.

Thus, the Avtodor company, from August 1, 2017, on the M11 Moscow-St. Petersburg highway within the boundaries of 258 km - 334 km, set a speed limit of 130 km per hour. At this point the road bypasses the city of Vyshny Volochok.

According to information from the state company Avtodor, the same speed exists on two small sections of the Don-M4 road located in the Moscow region.

Let us remind you that drivers will be warned about the new speed limit on the road road sign 3.24 “Maximum speed limit” with the number 130.

In 2009, by decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, rules were established for the classification of roads and their categories were designated. According to traffic conditions and access possibilities, roads were divided into the following classes:

• motorway - road category 1A;
• expressway highway(category 1B);
• regular road (other categories are established).

The main difference between a motorway and an expressway is that a motorway does not have grade connections, while an expressway allows grade connections for access no more than 5 kilometers apart.

Roads of categories 1A and 1B also differ in design speed. For a motorway it is 150 km per hour, and for a highway it is 120 km per hour. Design speed is an indicator that indicates the maximum permissible speed in accordance with safe driving conditions.

Limit speed limits on certain sections of Russian highways are installed after the owners have completed complex procedures that guarantee safe movement and provide infrastructure with maximum comfort for its participants.
