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.
The main and fundamental reason for numerous collisions, which are always described as “arrival” even in the traffic regulations, although in three out of four cases they are “finds”, is the actual absence of punitive means – unlike drivers, the camera does not stop pedestrians. Do you have to cross? What happens to me if I even cross diagonally? You cannot place bollards within sight of all Russian roads.
And you can’t get enough of one carrot: numerous social actions, explanations, school lessons and other attempts to popularize the traffic rules among the “upright walkers” do not yield any results. It is important and neat to cross the road and on red, and generally without pedestrian crossing. Motorists were forced to “obey and observe”, poking intersections and roads with the “eyes of God”, meanwhile the pedestrian generally paid no attention to other road users. He should be inferior by default. Even if for the sake of this lofty goal the car can only jump straight up and accept the motion vector for that. Yuri Gagarin.
Ten fixed percent is a shift of the stone from the dead center. From now on, the driver has a legitimate and quite real chance to prove that he is not involved, and the pedestrian will pay for treatment and repairs (and there, you see, for moral damage). Once there are enough such cases, they will be covered in detail by the media, court orders for damages will appear, minds will change. Money, money and more money is the best leverage in the world. Especially if you have to take those same pieces of paper out of your pocket and give them to others. When will we start to react and apply the most effective tool in the world?
And we have already started: in the Moscow Region, the Ministry of Transport of the Moscow Region and the Ministry of Transport of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Central Federal District, together with the regional operator of the road safety monitoring system MVS Group, are conducting already launched a project to identify violators of the rules for crossing railway lines. In total, more than 3,000 offenders have been identified since the beginning of the year and the number of “accidents” in the places where cameras are installed has decreased by 90%. Yes, yes, identification by faces, and after that – delivery of the decision.
So far, this has only been possible with the involvement of employees who receive a photo of both the violation and the offender on their tablet during their shift, find the latter in the crowd and hand over a fine. But soon the “Sphere” – a facial recognition system that works by analogy with the “Web”, which is used for license plates – will learn and gain knowledge. And fines go directly to the drivers: in the mailbox.
With cameras you can already record the transition to a red traffic light and the level crossing in the wrong place. The system not only registers the violation, but can also determine the identity of the offender, after which a protocol is drawn up based on the video material to bring him under administrative responsibility. Soon the pedestrian will begin to think again: is it worth breaking? There is no doubt that the situation on the roads will immediately change for the better at this time. How much waiting? Yes, not much longer, the equipment is already available, it’s up to lawyers and legislators.
