The subjects of the federation will be able to introduce their own fines for non-payment of travel on regional roads. The corresponding bill was submitted to the State Duma by the government of the Russian Federation.
According to the document, we are talking, in particular, about such routes as the Moscow High-Speed Diameter, the northern understudy of Kutuzovsky Prospekt, the Mytishchi Chord, the Novolytkarinsky Highway, the bypass of Khabarovsk, etc. At the same time, the size of regional sanctions is still unknown.
According to Kommersant, a fine of 1.5-5 thousand rubles. will remain on federal highways administered by the Avtodor state company – M-1, M-4, TsKAD, M-12 and others.
The explanatory note to the draft says that the regional authorities will be able to use “means of photo and video recording” when administering offenses on their roads.
At the same time, the publication draws attention to the fact that the government’s bill does not mention private toll roads: this is the status of the Western High-Speed Diameter (WHSD) in St. Petersburg. According to Kommersant, if the amendments are adopted in this form, the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg will not be able to pass the rule on fines for non-payers under the WHSD. On this road, according to the newspaper, there are barriers, however, there were cases when cars were attached close to the cars moving in front when passing through the toll plaza and passed for free.
The government bill has already been sent to the Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation. When it will be considered is still unclear.
