There is a sign that if a speed limit sign suddenly appears on the highway outside the settlement, a camera is installed somewhere nearby that records violations.
Local authorities are responsible for installing cameras. The advice of the traffic police in this case has only an advisory character. This allows cameras to appear not only on emergency roads and speed limits, but also in places where they are not needed. Both motorists and experts talk about it.
This issue was of interest to the Security Council of the Russian Federation, which decided to find out how reasonable speed limits are. The need for verification was discussed at a meeting of the interdepartmental committee of the Security Council of the Russian Federation on public security.
“Measures have been proposed to increase the efficiency of using complexes for photo and video recording of traffic violations in order to reduce traffic accidents. Checks on the validity of speed limits on roads are planned,” the Security Council press service said in a statement.
Tasks were also identified during the meeting to strengthen the control of the activities of driver training organizations and of officials who exercise control functions in the field of road safety.
These additional interdepartmental measures are aimed at reducing the number of road accidents, the Security Council notes.
