The Moscow traffic police released data showing which driving rules are most often violated by motorists in the capital. The most frequent offense is speeding within 20 to 40 kilometers per hour over the limit. While this data highlights common risk areas, the national traffic authorities do not publish totals for issued orders or fines, leaving civilians with only partial insight into enforcement outcomes.
Following speeding, the second most common violation concerns failure to comply with road signs and markings. Third on the list are violations related to seat belt and motorcycle helmet use, underscoring ongoing concerns about personal safety on city streets.
Another frequently observed offense from January through October relates to improper vehicle placement on roadways. Rounding out the top five is the misuse of mobile phones while driving, a behavior that continues to draw attention from traffic safety campaigns and enforcement efforts alike.
Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes
Without proper tires, public order is harder to maintain and timely medical care can be delayed for those in need. The initiative to bolster roadside safety has taken a practical turn. A partnership between public safety programs and community supporters began collecting funds to purchase tires for critical vehicles used by the People’s Police and emergency services in the region. Vehicles serving the Donbass humanitarian corridor, ambulances, and units within emergency ministries could benefit from this effort, which invites public participation on the collection page.
In addition to tire donations, the program emphasizes the broader aim of keeping essential transport ready for rapid response. Ensuring that emergency and humanitarian vehicles are well-equipped helps reduce response times and supports the safety of both responders and the public during urgent situations. The initiative also serves as a reminder that road readiness is a collective responsibility, especially in a busy metropolitan area where traffic volumes are high and incidents can escalate quickly.
Overall, the focus remains on improving adherence to traffic laws, boosting road safety through better equipment, and fostering community involvement in sustaining essential services. The Moscow traffic police continually monitor trends, and public feedback is encouraged to reinforce safer driving habits and more effective enforcement strategies across the city.
