Humps on the ring road as an example of concerns about traffic safety

In social networks posted a video, shot on Moscow ring road (MKAD) in places where suddenly appeared signs 1.16 "bumpy road" and the speed limit is 80, but right behind them is a speed camera.
These sections of length around 50-70 meters each on the ring road of the public found several. As "roughness" is specially applied across the carriageway noise markup.
An explanation for the appearance of such "areas of safety" gave the Deputy head of Centre traffic Alexander Evsin in the broadcast "Moscow Says": "This is a decisive measure for the so-called hotbed of accidents. The measure, in fact, ambiguous, and is now considering what it is, how it's made and even whether. Actually, it all started with an attempt to warn of the dangers".
According to Evsina such "slow" areas on the ring road appeared on the initiative of one particular Department within TMS.
The official said: "It hasn't even been negotiation in all TMS. But TMS consists of a large number of offices. This is now the Department of organization of traffic, therefore, it did this without spending even a fully internal procedure of discussion within the organization. For this reason we are seriously unhappy and we understand how it happened and why it was done at the expense of others. Plus all this, you know, a bad, old, "gaishnaya", I would say, approach".
However, according to Elsina similar measures are common in our country: "These measures first: it is necessary to fully discuss. Second: such inexplicable for the driver changes the speed mode in the absence of changes in road conditions is a disaster of nationwide practices. Unfortunately, we have still people who do not understand the obvious, sit and so many do."
The Deputy head of TMS added that the head of the Center Vadim Yuriev initiated internal proceedings.

PS so that the traffic police really despises us for safety. Bend, you see some careless workers! Completely without a second thought for the safety of the citizens are struggling! Only reason necessarily with another relief of the pockets of most people. I remembered school history lessons, talking about clever (rather, it reminded of another part of the body) the medieval feudal landowners, created for passing through their possession of "land bridges" naturally collection "legitimate" bridge collection. Now the technical means stepped, of course, far ahead, but in fact, here under the slogan of Holy struggle for the safety of the movement is played exactly the same ancient situation – a trap for the capture of fines. By the way, deput GD Lysakov, too, has long been said that in this way, our dear bodies, traffic control, and whatever you achieve, and then only among "guarded" in the same way citizens of legal nihilism.
But, at least the internal proceedings of the traffic police have started – thank you for this.
