The question of the maximum allowed speed in the highway mode is quite complicated, because most of the participants traffic have certain myths about speed tolerances a little more than indicated on the signs. Today we will deal with all the myths and provide some official data that will help you not to accept illegal travel regimes and not become a victim of the traffic police patrol. It is better to follow the speed limits on the tracks, because following these rules turns out to be an excellent method of saving life, as well as the integrity of your vehicle.
And your wallet will feel better if you do not exceed speed limits. Fines for speeding are constantly rising, because it is this violation that claims the lives of people every day on the roads of Russia. You can think as much as you like that this will not happen to you, but do you really think that those with whom it happened expected such an outcome of events? Therefore, we strongly recommend that you observe speed limits.
Where can you drive at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour?
If you want to drive at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour, the maximum allowed speed for cars in Russia, you will have to find motorways - roads marked with a special sign. There are about 500 kilometers of such roads in the country, so you won’t be able to look for them especially. These are not even full-fledged roads, but simply sections of certain routes.
Therefore, it is actually forbidden to move at such a speed on the roads of our country. On August 1, 2013, it was decided to raise speed mode on highways up to 110 kilometers per hour. Roads marked with the “Road for cars” sign, that is, all roads with an asphalt surface of a country type, allow driving at a speed of 110 kilometers per hour in the absence of such restrictions:
- signs informing about the entrance to the settlement (the name of the settlement on a white background);
- speed limit signs - speed limit number in a red circle;
- approaching a railway crossing;
- temporary signs warning the driver of danger.
Speed limits can also be recommended - a sign with a number in a blue square. For violating this regime, you will not be charged or forced to pay a fine, but often these signs are installed on those sections of the road where accidents often occur. Therefore, they also need to pay attention. Especially if a snowflake is installed under the sign - the designation of ice.
Road signs are rarely installed in vain - it is not in the spirit of our state to waste metal unnecessarily. Therefore, pay attention to those warnings and requirements that are installed on the road. This will help you save not only money, but also health, and sometimes even life.
Problems of new laws and regulations on speed limits
Fines for speeding are quite severe, but there are also certain questions for legislators, which today turned out to be quite relevant due to the increase in the number of accidents. We all know that Germany has the highest speed limits on the tracks. On ordinary country roads, you can drive there at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour, and on autobahns, speed is not limited at all.
In Russia, it turns out not just the largest speed limit - 110 kilometers per hour on ordinary country roads for cars. This regime is further enhanced by the fact that there is no punishment at all for speeding up to 20 kilometers per hour. It turns out that we can drive with impunity at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour on ordinary roads and 150 on highways. The following problems arise:
- most drivers see a speed limit sign and plus 20 in their mind;
- exceeding the speed limit by 20 kilometers per hour may well be dangerous;
- on the highways of Russia, the speed of 130 kilometers per hour is huge;
- for our roads, their quality and level, it would be worth introducing lower speed modes;
- to the German autobahns, our roads still grow and grow;
- quality of cars Maintenance does not pull on the European level.
Indeed, many motorists drive old Zhiguli, and such a speed will become simply deadly for them. Therefore, something urgently needs to be done with these Laws, otherwise the death rate on the roads of Russia will only grow. Speed limits should not be an objective phenomenon for all roads, it is necessary to think over a system of signs and determine speed modes according to the quality and accident rate of road sections.
Of course, such a system will require a certain investment of money, but it is necessary, because otherwise traffic safety on Russian roads will be equal to zero. In the meantime, we only have updated laws on speed limits, which allow you to drive any car at a speed of 130 kilometers per hour on any suburban highway.
Speeding fines
The punishment for speeding has always been quite severe, but today the measures of this punishment will be felt really on their budget only by those who decided to openly exceed. For example, for exceeding from 20 to 40 kilometers per hour from the established regime, you will have to pay 500 rubles. This amount of the fine does not scare today's motorists.
A more serious violation threatens those who decide to exceed the speed of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour. IN this case the fine will be from 1,000 to 1,500 rubles - here it is already worth considering, because the state tariff has increased significantly. But the most serious penalties are provided for the following violations:
- for exceeding from 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, the driver will face a fine of 2000-2500 rubles or deprivation of rights from 4 to 6 months;
- violation of the speed limit by more than 80 kilometers per hour entails a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation driving license for a period of 6 months;
- for repeated speeding of 60 kilometers per hour or more, the driver will be deprived of his license for a period of one year;
- in the case of video or photo recording of a repeated violation, it will be possible to manage a fine of 5,000 rubles.
So far, rights for photographing violations are not taken away in Russia, therefore, simple financial costs can be dispensed with. But this measure is likely to be phased out as the country increasingly shifts to automatic methods detection of offenses on the roads.
The higher the fines, the more interesting the forbidden fruit. Violations on the roads are not getting smaller, because technology is developing, opportunities modern car are often allowed to travel with high speed V complete security. But all this is individual. Therefore, when choosing a speed limit, think not only about fines, but also evaluate the real situation around your car.
We offer a short report on the topic of fines and the plan of the State Duma of Russia:
Summing up
Keeping track of innovations in the field of Laws for motorists is becoming increasingly difficult, because there is a constant update of the rules of the road. What we were previously taught in a driving school no longer has legal force, the rules change according to the requirements modern world. But so far, changes in the Laws relating to the determination of high-speed travel modes do not particularly please us.
Road safety is one of the important points to which legislatures should aspire when issuing new ordinances. Today, we see somewhat different goals pursued by these public authorities. What speed limits on Russian roads do you consider optimal under current conditions?
In Russia, there are several sections of roads where you can ride with the breeze without violating any rules. We are talking about federal highways, where the maximum permitted speed reaches 110 - 130 km / h.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country started talking about increasing the maximum speed limit on some roads in Russia. Although, even earlier, the State Company Avtodor applied to the traffic police with a request to “allow” them to allow 130 km / h on some subordinate routes (then the matter did not end in anything - author). "Resolved" the issue of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev, who "On Amendments to the Rules of the Road." Almost a year has passed since the decision was issued (the document was published on July 26, 2013 - author). During this time, they really allowed to “drive” 130 in some places. At the same time, on most of the roads in Russia, which belong to the category "highway", only 110 km / h is still allowed.
Good quality - high speed
In order to be allowed to drive at a speed of 110 km / h on the highway, the road must have a dividing line oncoming traffic and vice versa have no exits or intersections at the same level between opposite lanes. In addition, the quality of the highway coating must meet all the requirements of GOSTs. Speaking the language of road builders, the route should be of category IA (“Motorway”) or IB (“High-speed road”).
If we collect all sections of roads in Russia that meet these requirements, we get a route five times shorter than the Great Wall of China. Or a route that is as long as the Volga River. All in all, there are 4 thousand km of such roads in our country or 8% of the length of the entire road network of Rosavtodor(by the way, it is 50 thousand km). But there are two more sections of roads under the jurisdiction of the Avtodor State Company, which are also allowed to drive at speeds up to 110 km/h.
“Before increasing the speed limit on federal highways, Rosavtodor without fail checks the compliance of the geometric elements of the plan and the longitudinal profile with the requirements of GOST R 52399-2005, the evenness and coefficient of adhesion of the coating, as well as the arrangement of sites technical means organization of traffic”, - the head of Rosavtodor Roman Starovoit.
So now the maximum speed is 110 km/h is allowed on the following roads:
Max speed 110 km/h plan to allow:
130 km / h - so far the limit
There are three sites in Russia federal highway M-4 "Don", on which you can ride even faster and do not pay anything to the state treasury "for speeding." Through these small sections you can drive at a speed of 130 km/h:
In August 2013, the first motorway with intelligent system traffic control appeared in Siberia, or rather in Kemerovo region. Moreover, this road is not of federal, but only of regional significance, which is surprising. On new track"Kemerovo - Leninsk-Kuznetsky" too (i.e. without paying a fine later or paying a fare on the road). The construction of two sections of this highway with a length of 45 km cost 12 billion 700 million rubles.
A little math
For the sake of an example, now let's count a little. The total length of roads in Russia where you can drive at a speed of 110 km/h is 193 km. Let's assume it's one way. Imagine that we are moving in a good car and free track, which does not pass through settlements, we come to the conclusion that we would have passed this road in 1 hour 45 minutes (if rounded). Meanwhile, this is the distance from Veliky Novgorod to St. Petersburg or from Mamadysh to Agryz (Tatarstan).
And if we put together sections where you can drive at a speed of 130 km / h, and drive along this road at 130 km / h, then in less than an hour we will drive from the center of Moscow to Klin (about 96 km). At the same time, according to Leningrad highway and then along the M-10 highway in the current conditions we are in best case we will be able to overcome this distance in more than two hours, taking into account traffic jams.
“I can still drive this distance just as fast,” you say. But they don't just come up with it. By increasing speed in the wrong place, you risk yourself and others. So it's better to follow the rules and drive somewhere slowly than to drive very slowly and feet first.
Lidia Terekhova, DorInfo
Exceeding the speed limit in most countries of the world is punishable by a fine, and in many countries by deprivation of the right to drive a car for a certain period. But in all countries, the maximum speed limit on the roads differs significantly, due to.
For example, in some EU countries there are motorways on which there is no speed limit. Recall that recently in our country the maximum is 130 km / h. In the future, this threshold will be raised to 150 km/h due to the launch of toll federal roads. Unfortunately, the roads on which this restriction very few in Russia.
We offer you a selection of "Top ten most express roads in the world" on which the driver can not be afraid to be held accountable for high speed.
1) The fastest stretch of road in the world in Utah.
(formerly Bonneville Salt Lake)
The state of Utah has a maximum legal speed limit of 130 km/h. But this area is special. There are no restrictions set by the authorities on the speed of the state. Former dry salt lake Bonneville perfect place to try to accelerate your vehicle to the maximum speed your vehicle can handle.
In the same place, every year (since 1914) there are various attempts to set world speed records on various Vehicle Oh.
Where: Utah
Speed Limit: No
2) Germany
On any highway in Germany where there is a road sign for "Autobahn", there is no speed limit. These have an "unlimited" speed ceiling. The only thing is that during even small repair work on some section of the freeway, there are temporary signs prescribing a speed limit. For unknown reasons, in many European countries, there are no such autobahns without speed limits.
Where: All Germany
Speed Limit: Not on autobahns
3) Desert road in Australia
A section of the highway located in the Australian outback, between Alice Springs and Barrow Creek, passing through the desert, with a length of 200 kilometers. During the period from 2001 to 2012, zero accidents were recorded on this section of the road. As a gift from the authorities for accident-free driving, the speed limit will be lifted on this highway next year. The current limit is 140 km/h.
Where: Desert in Australia
Speed Limit: there will be no restrictions in 2014
4) Isle of Man
The Isle of Man is located in the middle of the Irish Sea. UK laws apply on the island. On the whole island, where there are highways, there are no restrictions on the speed of cars and any vehicles.
So, when you come to this island, you will not only enjoy the beauties of the fantastic local nature, but you can also feel top speed car, renting, for example, a sports Aston Martin.
Where: In the middle of the Irish Sea
Speed Limit: No
5) Nurburgring
Race track in Germany, which is located 70 kilometers from the city of Cologne. The track was built in 1927. At the moment, it hosts various competitions in ring racing.
Also on this track engineers automotive companies experiencing new stock cars or future prototypes. Also, on certain days and at a certain set time, anyone can drive along the track in their own or rented car, both with an instructor and on their own, paying the appropriate fare.
Where: Germany. Nurburgring
Speed Limit: It makes no sense
6) Italy: Highway A1
Expressway linking Milan and Naples, which passes through Bologna, Florence and Rome. The track opened in 1964. Length 759 kilometers. The permitted speed is 150 kilometers per hour.
If you get tired of driving at such a speed, then Italian landscapes and amazing style of architecture. Note that when exceeding the speed limit of 150 km/h for 10-20 kilometers, drivers do not receive a fine from photo and video recording cameras.
But surprisingly, all the cars that move along this highway do not exceed the established maximum speed.
Where: between Rome and Milan
Speed Limit: 150 km/h
7) Dubai: Highway E11
Highway linking the two major cities in the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi and the city of Dubai. The highway opened in 1980. Previously, the speed limit was 160 km/h, but authorities United Arab Emirates decided to reduce the maximum permitted speed to 140 km/h due to the fact that many drivers cannot cope with such speeds on the road, which leads to major accidents with deaths and severe consequences.
Where: Highway Dubai - Abu Dhabi
Speed Limit: 140 km/h.
8) Poland: Highway A4
The highway starts at the border with Germany and ends at the border with Ukraine. Crosses Poland from North to West. The total length is 670 kilometers. Part of the plots is at the final stage of reconstruction, which should be completed in 2014. It is noteworthy that most of the road was built back in 1930 by Nazi Germany, since the territory previously belonged to this country, which after the war was ceded to Poland.
Where: Poland
Speed Limit: 140 km/h
9) Bulgaria: highway "Trakia"
Recently completed the construction of a new highway "Trakia", which links Sofia and Burgas. The beginning of the route is in the capital of Bulgaria. The new highway is fast and speedy compared to all roads in Europe, where maximum speed limits are much lower on average.
Where: Sofia-Bourgas
Speed Limit: 140 km/h
10) State of Texas: Highway SH130
The road is located in central Texas, not far from Austin. This highway is the fastest in North America where the speed limit is higher than on other highways. Hennessey's favorite place to test their tuned and modified cars. The road is paid.
Where: Central Texas
Speed Limit: 136 km/h (85 miles)
Well hello, hello! And I have a new portion of fresh and relevant information for fans of fast driving.
So, today we will talk about the maximum speed of motorists on the road.
Ready to hear about existing restrictions? Sit back, maybe you didn't know anything about it!
The maximum speed in the city is 60 km/h. Not 80 km / h, as many people think, namely 60! It doesn't matter if your car is a car or a truck.
For exceeding the speed by the driver, a fine is imposed on the violator, the amount of which depends precisely on the speed that was exceeded.
What is taken into account when setting the speed limit?
The area is taken into account - a residential or industrial area, the “business” of the road, the presence of schools, kindergartens, hospitals nearby, weather when passing through a certain section of the road.
For "yard" zones, where residential areas are located nearby, the maximum speed is only 20 km / h, since the probability of an accident on the road in this zone is as high as possible.
Amount of the fine
- 1 - 20 km/h according to the rules of the road is considered acceptable, so there is no penalty. Limited to issuing a warning.
- When the size of the exceeded speed is 21-40 km / h, the fine reaches 500 rubles.
- 41-60 km / h - up to 1500 rubles, and in case of violation again - the fine will rise to 2500 rubles.
- 61-80 km / h - 2500 rubles + deprivation of the driver's license for a period of 4 - 6 months. If such a violation was committed again, then the period of deprivation of rights will last up to one year.
- 81 km/h and above - 5000 rubles fine + deprivation of the driver of his right to drive a vehicle for six months, and if the violation repeats - for one year.
According to the traffic rules, the driver must drive the car at a speed not exceeding the limit established by law.
This takes into account a number of factors, namely: traffic intensity, features, technical condition the vehicle and its serviceability, features of the cargo being transported, weather, road conditions, visibility.
Speed should help control traffic in any situation.
Increased speed may be allowed on some sections of roads (if there is a sign), lanes, when conditions on the road can ensure the safety of traffic at a higher speed.
The permitted speed in such cases may be greater than the value set for specific modes of transport on motorways.
If we talk about movement outside the territory of settlements, then it should be noted that the movement is recognized as permissible:
- for passenger cars, trucks with a permitted maximum permissible weight of not more than 3.5 tons on highways - 110 km / h, and on other roads - 90 km / h;
- for intercity, small-seat buses, motorcycles - no more than 90 km / h;
- buses, cars when towing a trailer, as well as trucks, the maximum permitted weight of which is more than 3.5 tons on highways - no higher than 90 km / h, on other roads - 70 km / h;
- trucks engaged in transportation in the back of people - no more than 60 km / h;
- cars that transport children - 60 km / h;
Drivers of vehicles transporting oversized, heavy and dangerous goods, it is allowed to move at a speed established in the presence of an agreement on the conditions of carriage, but no more.
The driver cannot
1) exceed the maximum speed limits for their vehicle;
2) to exceed the speed from the sign that establishes the speed limit;
3) build obstacles to other vehicles, moving at low speed, without having to do so;
4) start braking very abruptly when it is not aimed at preventing the onset of a traffic accident.
You can drive along the highway separating a small village or move around the city, but the speed of your car must be limited. The smallest deviation from traffic rules can lead to emergency and negative consequences.
The norms of the Rules of the Road contain the limit of the permitted speed when moving through a particular settlement. This limit is the same for everyone without exception, it cannot be changed with traffic intensity, the presence of pedestrians. The general rule for all is 60 km/h.
If the driver has left the city, he must carefully follow the signs when entering another settlement. Moving through residential areas, the speed of more than 20 km/h is not allowed. This is the only way to ensure the safety of people, the safety of homes and playgrounds.
Another important point- here, drivers must let each of the pedestrians pass, even when people do not move along specially equipped crossings, but close to the roadway.
Traffic rules establish the possibility at the regional level to set higher readings in terms of speed for certain types transport. When you leave the road at the allowed speed, then the rules that are written for the settlement immediately come into effect.
Glad to be of service to you again! Do not switch and you will be aware of the most pressing issues for motorists! Only the most necessary information!
In Russia, motorways are not very common, so it can be difficult for a driver who finds himself on such a road for the first time. Additional difficulties are created by the fact that traffic rules are regularly amended, which means that some rules lose their relevance over time. This article contains everything you need to know about the highway for 2018-2019.
What is a motorway
In accordance with the current ones, the motorway is a high-speed route, its beginning is marked with the sign 5.1, and the end with the sign 5.2. The carriageways with oppositely directed traffic flows are separated either by a special road barrier or a wide dividing strip.
The motorway does not have one-level intersections with any other roads, in particular railway, tram tracks, cycle paths and sidewalks, paths for pedestrians or roads of a different class, the latter may adjoin it, but only at multi-level interchanges.
Motorways are class 1A roads. The minimum number of lanes on them is four, that is, two in both directions along the entire length of the track. In this case, the width of the strip is 3.75 m, the shoulder should be the same width.
How many tracks in Russia
In the Russian Federation, class 1A routes are represented by individual routes or their sections; a unified network has not yet been built. Throughout the motorway mode, there are two roads:
- A118 - Ring road around St. Petersburg.
- Western Speed Diameter - toll highway passing through St. Petersburg.
Separate sections of the following routes also operate in motorway mode:
- P242;
- 31K593.
Which speed limits entered on the track?
Reconstruction and construction of a number of highways are underway. The total length of class 1A routes on the territory of the Russian Federation is about 10% of all roads, with most of them coming from Moscow and located in the European part of Russia.
Permitted speed on the track
On different sections of the road and for different vehicles, the maximum permissible speed varies greatly. The minimum is 40 km/h, unless a prescriptive sign with a different value of the minimum speed is installed.
Outside villages on class 1A highways, the following restrictions apply:
- 110 km/h for passenger cars and trucks, limit permissible weight which are not more than 3.5 tons;
- 90 km/h for buses, vehicles with trailers and trucks, the maximum authorized mass of which is more than three and a half tons;
- 60 km/h for those buses that deal with organized transport groups of children, and vehicles with people in the back;
- 50 km/h for any vehicles carrying out towing.
On sections passing through towns and cities, the speed limit is 60 km/h. By decision of the owner of the motorway, the maximum permitted speed on a class 1A road can be raised to 130 km/h.
In order for the owner to be able to set such a speed limit, the road must strictly meet the quality and safety requirements. Routes on which a speed limit of 130 km / h is allowed are marked with the corresponding road sign, namely - "Maximum speed limit", which indicates 130.
What is the maximum speed allowed on the track, this video will tell:
Driving at a speed of 150 km / h is prohibited, although it is relatively safe in motorway conditions. Exceeding the speed limit set on a specific section of the route is also prohibited when or ahead of the curve.
Basic prohibitions
Movement on class 1A roads is strictly regulated traffic rules, there are a number of restrictions and regulations on the track. So, according to the traffic rules, on class 1A highways it is prohibited:
- driving vehicles that are not able to reach speeds above 40 km / h, as well as tractors and self-propelled vehicles, bicycles, mopeds and carts;
- entry of vehicles into technological gaps;
- movement ;
- parking in places that are not marked with a corresponding sign;
- movement truck, the maximum permissible mass of which exceeds 3.5 tons, further than on the second lane;
- movement of pedestrians or pets.
Is it possible to drive 130 on the highway?
For violation of the rules, the driver bears administrative responsibility. Depending on the violation, he may be fined or deprived of his rights for up to a year inclusive.
Highway and Expressway
The motorway, as already indicated, is a class 1A road, the next class is 1B, it is used to designate expressways highways. There is also a third class - B, it includes roads of the usual type, which are divided into five categories.
Tracks of classes 1A and 1B are designed for high-speed movement and are similar in many respects, however, they have several significant differences. Namely:
Otherwise, routes 1A and 1B are similar: they do not have direct intersections with other roads at the same level, they are designed for high-speed traffic, they are multi-lane.
Recent changes in traffic rules
Last most significant change regarding speed on the motorway, the SDA was introduced in the summer of 2013. It was then that the owners of the tracks had the opportunity to set a maximum speed of 110 km per hour on roads for cars and 130 on class 1A tracks with the proper quality of the road surface.
In August 2018, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation proposed an amendment to the traffic rules, according to which training ride by motorways.
This proposal is argued primarily by the fact that many roads are close to highways in terms of characteristics or even fully meet them, but are not marked with the corresponding road sign.
Features of traffic on Russian highways, see the video:
Therefore, students of driving schools must have enough skills to make their presence on fast lane did not interfere with traffic and did not pose a danger.
Sergey Kanaev, head of the Federation of Russian Car Owners, also notes that allowing driving lessons on class 1A roads will give future drivers the opportunity to gain the necessary experience.
As a result, this will reduce the number of traffic accidents, because most of the accidents occur with the participation of persons whose driving experience is less than two years.
Conclusion
So, a motorway, or a class 1A road, is a route whose conditions allow you to move safely with the greatest allowable speed, namely 110 or 130 km / h, depending on the road signs installed on a particular section. The beginning and end of the motorway are indicated by signs 5.1 and 5.2, respectively.
