The Moscow Region’s Department of State Traffic Inspectorate outlines a series of proactive safety measures aimed at stabilizing road conditions, lowering the number of accidents, and reducing the severity of injuries on the roads. These efforts are part of ongoing collaboration with the regional authorities to keep streets safer and traffic flows more predictable during the spring period.
The core objective is to curb serious violations of traffic rules in the Russian Federation. Focus areas include preventing driving under the influence, avoiding driving in the oncoming lane, and addressing other offenses that elevate the risk and consequences of traffic incidents. By prioritizing education, enforcement, and public awareness, the agency seeks to create a culture of safer driving among all road users.
From April 30 to May 10, the regional preventive campaign known as Drunk Driver will be conducted across the Moscow Region. This initiative emphasizes the dangers of impaired driving, provides practical guidance to residents, and reinforces the penalties and legal ramifications associated with such behavior. The program is designed to engage communities and encourage responsible choices behind the wheel.
To maintain public order during the May holidays, a careful and sufficient staffing plan will be implemented by internal affairs personnel. This approach ensures a visible and steady presence on key routes, parks, and holiday gathering places, contributing to safer travel for residents and visitors alike during the festive period.
- A group comprising 26 traffic police inspectors along with civilian volunteers will continue to monitor road safety. They will review traffic patterns, identify risk factors, and respond promptly to incidents that could influence road safety and public confidence in law enforcement measures.
- Information about safe driving practices and enforcement updates will be distributed through official channels, including widely used messaging platforms, to reach drivers and pedestrians in a timely and accessible manner.
