The national project “High-quality safe roads”, which has already changed the five-year plan in Russia, has improved the overall situation on the sidewalk, significantly increasing the satisfaction of Russians with the quality of the sidewalk and road infrastructure. However, it was not without a struggle: the quality of the roads is improving, but the death rate is also rising.
In general, the situation in the country is improving, but at the same time the numbers in several regions increased sharply: Altai + 32%, Mari El + 25%, Ulyanovsk region + 36%, Karachay-Cherkessia + 56%. As in previous years, 9 out of 10 traffic accidents occur as a result of traffic violations by motorists. Guess who creates the remaining 10%? That’s right, pedestrian.
Despite a significant preponderance in favor of drivers of high-risk vehicles, the recorded 10 percent “pedestrian” is a breakthrough, if not a revolution, in the automotive life of a single Russian Federation. Previously, all pedestrian accidents were treated by default in favor of the latter, the driver was always at fault. Always. Just because he was driving. But the situation began to change, and quite dramatically.
