Fines for non-payment of travel on regional and municipal toll roads are determined by the local authorities. The relevant bill has already been sent to the State Duma.
Fines for non-payment of travel on federal toll roads, which are recorded by cameras in barrier-free sections, remain under the jurisdiction of Rostransnadzor.

It is quite difficult to fine such offenders on regional toll roads now, as the toll roads themselves are not under the control of Rostransnadzor. For example, we are talking about the Western High-Speed Diameter in St. Petersburg, the Moscow High-Speed Diameter and toll sections in different regions.
Changes to the Code of Administrative Offences, once passed, will allow local authorities to enact appropriate penalties for “hares”. And if fines for non-payment of travel on federal toll roads are collected in full by the federal budget, then fines for unpaid travel on local roads go to the local budget. They can also be paid at a 50% discount if you manage to do so within 20 days of the decision date.
