During the days of April 19 and 20, traffic in the capital will experience noticeable limits as officials prepare for the Victory Parade. This information comes from a Telegraph channel reporting the Moscow State Traffic Inspectorate’s guidance.
The notice states that in connection with the Victory Parade rehearsals around Red Square, traffic restrictions will run from 23:00 on April 19 until 02:00 on April 20. This schedule aims to ensure security, smooth operation, and unobstructed access for ceremonial activities, while minimizing disruption for residents and visitors who plan early morning travel.
The restricted routes include several major corridors: the section from Minsk Highway to Novoryazanskoye Highway along the outer side of the Moscow Ring Road; Novoryazanskoye Highway from building 1 to MKAD; Volgogradsky Avenue extending from the Moscow Ring Road to the Third Ring Road; and the driveway designated as No. 3502. These measures are intended to streamline parade logistics and safeguard pedestrian and vehicle flow around central zones.
Officials advise commuters to review their itineraries well in advance and to comply with road rules and posted signs. Drivers should consider alternative routes, allow extra travel time, and stay informed about any real-time updates from traffic authorities as conditions can shift due to evolving security considerations or weather factors.
In related developments, data from March show an uptick in illegally created ridesharing accounts, rising by about 40 percent compared with February. Such accounts are often used by individuals who lack proper vehicle registration or who do not meet age or experience requirements. The pattern highlights ongoing concerns about regulatory compliance in ride-hailing ecosystems and the importance of trusted operator oversight for passenger safety. Analysts note that legitimate rideshare platforms rely on verified documentation and age checks to ensure driver eligibility and consumer protection, while illicit accounts can undermine safety and service quality. This information underscores why authorities continue to monitor digital ride services and why travelers should rely on registered providers when planning city trips. [Source: Telegraph]
