Fines for not paying tolls on regional and municipal roads are set by local authorities. The legislation on these penalties has already been sent to the State Duma for consideration.

For non-payment on federal toll roads, which are monitored by cameras in barrier-free sections, the responsibility remains with the federal body known as Rostransnadzor.

This material was prepared in a context where the author holds a foreign agent status in the Russian Federation, and readers should note that local enforcement challenges exist on regional toll roads since those roads are not under Rostransnadzor’s direct supervision. Examples include major corridors such as the Western High-Speed Diameter in St. Petersburg, the Moscow High-Speed Diameter, and toll sections scattered across various regions.

In the near term, the Code of Administrative Offences is expected to undergo amendments. Once enacted, these changes would empower local authorities to impose penalties for violators on regional toll networks. If fines collected on federal toll roads are deposited into the federal budget, fines from local roads would flow into local budgets as well. Importantly, payment incentives are anticipated: individuals settling their fines within twenty days of the decision date may receive a discount of up to fifty percent.
