In the state Duma proposed to increase the speed on highways 100-110 km/h

20 March 2018

But so far the initiative has not gone

Today the speed limit outside towns is 90 km/h Only on highway you can accelerate to 110 km/h, and in some cases (with the installation of appropriate sign) and to 130 km/h. meanwhile in the state Duma is considering raising the speed limit on country roads up to 100-110 km/h.

With this initiative the head of the Duma Committee on transport Evgeny Moskvichev, the idea is already supported by the Federal road Agency (Rosavtodor). The Ministry reported that out of 50.1 thousand kilometers of Federal roads, 15 % are highway first category, that is, they assume high-speed mode up to 130 km/h. the Rest of the breakdown looks as follows: on the second category accounts for 41 %, the third 33 %, the fourth 9 %, the fifth — 2 %.

The head of the Duma Committee on transport Evgeny Moskvichev noted that the issue of increasing the maximum permitted speed requires discussion. "We have to prepare professionals who would together with us thinking about how to make the maximum speed on roads was 90 km/h and 100-110 km/h I think it's time to put it to us. We together with the Ministry of interior must consider it, because speed is important".

At the same time, the head of the Public Council of the Ministry of transport Mikhail Blinkin believes the new initiative is futile: "On the slopes of the higher technical category, speed and so can be raised to 130 km/h on the road network of the "younger" categories to increase her senseless. Abroad now there is a trend to limit speeds. For example, in the USA previously on many riwayah allowed to travel almost without restriction, standing signs of 100 miles per hour. Now 85, 55".

Shared his opinion and the expert system fotovideofiksatsii Gregory Shukhman. He called the proposal Eugene Moskvicheva hopeless: "the traffic police will be rested, will not support, because given the impunity of the excess people will go 120-130 km/h".
