In Moscow, more than 10 million traffic violations have been recorded in four months
Road chambers in Moscow began to less often fix violations related to leaving on the allocated stripes, lack of seat belts and turned off headlights. These are the data of the Center for the Road Traffic Organization (DCD) of Moscow. Trips to the roadside and violations of the rules of using the phone, on the contrary, are fixed more than before.
The Moscow Central District Hospital at Kommersant provided data on the results of the work of the metropolitan system for fixing traffic violations for four months of 2025. The cameras recorded more than 10.1 million violations – this is about the same as for the same period of 2024 (increase 1%). In terms of certain compositions, the number of fixed violations is reduced. In particular, there were fewer trips to the highlighted strip, non -settled seat belts, as well as violations associated with the driving without near the light of headlights or daytime running lights (see infographics). The dynamics in the data center is explained by the “discipline” effect of the cameras. At the same time, the number of driveways on the sidelines, violations of the rules for using the telephone while driving, excess speed by 60–80 km/h increased, as well as cases when the seat belts were not fastened with passengers.
In Moscow there are 3.8 thousand road cameras that can recognize 65 types of violations. Materials from complexes are transmitted by the traffic police for the design of penalties, which are sent by mail to car owners.
“An increase in the number of violations is not always a reason for concern,” the “Kommersant” assured Kommersant. “The center regularly outweighs the complexes of photovideoofixation to the places where they are more necessary. The growth of the average number of violations in this case is evidence that the observation point was chosen correctly. ” The use of the phone behind the wheel and the unsteady seat belts of passengers are reminiscent of the data center, these are relatively new compositions. “We improve the recognition of such violations, increasing the number of complexes that administer them,” they say in the center. When the cameras begin to record a new composition, there is always a sharp increase in the identified violations, says Alexander Shumsky expert center, the head of the Probok.net expert center. “If we assume that today they will begin to fine the cameras for an unknown turn indicator, then the increase in the number of violations will probably be measured by thousands of percent,” the expert says.
The capital authorities record the largest number of traffic violations of the traffic rules on the Kiev highway in the area to the center (on the site 1.5 km to the Moscow Ring Road). “On the multi -band highway, which connects Vnukovo Airport with the city center, often exceeds the speed,” Kommersant was told in the Central Center. The center also sees many violations on the site near the Gagarinsky shopping center, where the third transport ring intersects with Vavilov Street, « there are large pedestrian flows in this point, so the complex helps to prevent pedestrian attacks. »
The head of the People’s Front working group to protect the rights of motorists, Peter Shkumatov, draws attention to the increase in the number of cases when taxi drivers go to the allocated stripes under the “brick” (this trend also notes the data center in the response to Kommersant).
Recall that the traffic rules allow taxi drivers to go to the isas, but the capital’s authorities set the brick sign over individual stripes so that only buses and electric buses are allowed. In the field of taxi today there is a high fluid of personnel, new drivers do not immediately understand the “peculiarity” of the capital’s dedicated lanes and fall into fines, explains Peter Shkumatov.
Grigory Shukhman, an expert on road cameras, considers the process of reducing the number of violations as a result of increasing control and increasing fines. Recall that from January 1, 2025, amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses entered into force, which increased the size of penalties for a number of « driver’s » compositions one and a half times. The increase in the number of violations related to the excess of speed may be associated with the introduction of new speed modes on the streets, suggests Mr. Shukhman.
“Any automatic control should have borders,” says Alexander Shumsky. “We understand that thanks to the complexes, drivers follow the rules better, but at some point the cameras become so many that motorists begin to be in constant stress, afraid to constantly get a fine. And because of this state, they risk getting into an accident. ” At the end of 2022, Vice-mayor Maxim Liksutov In an interview with Kommersant He stated that the city will not expand the city for monitoring movement, no longer the cameras will expand.
