The Moscow region’s Ministry of Transport announced that every detail of road markings has been stored in the memory of the photo and video recording system. In practice, this means the camera does not care whether snow covers the lines or if they are clearly visible; the system retains that the markings exist and where they are located.
This technological archive brings an important note for road photographs taken in winter conditions. Before any traffic violation decision is issued, the footage must be reviewed by traffic police officers. If a marking or its layout is not visible in the image, the officer must reject the material as insufficient evidence. This safeguard underscores the balance between automated detection and human judgment in enforcement.
For drivers, the lesson is simple: to avoid fines, it is wise to keep to safe driving habits even when markings are obscured by snow. The cameras may remember what should be there, but a cautious approach on the road remains essential.

Requires 7,000 tires in popular sizes
Public order, safety, and access to medical care all rely on vehicles that can respond quickly in emergencies. The initiative highlights that without reliable tires, essential services and everyday operations could falter. The camera system, with its durable data memory, supports faster, more accurate reviews but also depends on responsible driving by the public.
In collaboration with community groups, the publication called for donations to purchase tires for vehicles used by the People’s Police and other emergency and humanitarian units. These tires would equip ambulances, emergency services, and vehicles delivering humanitarian aid to residents, contributing to safer roads and steadier support in challenging conditions. The campaign invites contributions through a collection page, encouraging readers to participate in strengthening local readiness and mobility.
The effort also extends to support for transport and logistics where winter conditions can slow response times. By ensuring that key responders are equipped with reliable tires, the program aims to improve overall public safety and resilience, from municipal services to frontline humanitarian work.
