An unexpected turn on the Russian-Ukrainian front, unfortunately, can affect the lives of ordinary motorists. And it’s already having an effect. How to behave in this situation, the
The unexpected demarche of the PMC “Wagner” – one of the most combat-ready and productive military units participating in the NVO – not only affected the political life of the country, but also had a counterproductive effect on ordinary motorists. Tens of thousands of motorists on federal highways southbound in the country are stuck in massive traffic jams.
According to news reports and data from online maps, traffic is completely blocked on some sections of the M4 Don highway in Rostov, Voronezh, Lipetsk and Tula regions. In the Moscow region, according to the regional Ministry of Transport, traffic restrictions have been introduced on the Don, Crimea and Urals highways. Military cordons have been set up. In Moscow, the situation is calmer.
Yes, reinforced traffic police and police teams are on duty at the entrances and exits of the city. The soldiers are equipped with helmets and body armor, but military equipment is not visible at the posts. Sergei Sobyanin said that there are no restrictions when entering and leaving Moscow:
– There are many reports of traffic closures at the entrances and exits of the city. This information is not true. But in connection with the strengthening of measures to carry out verification activities, there may be traffic problems, the mayor of the capital said.
Indeed, there are difficulties with movement. As the correspondent of the AvtoVzglyal portal was able to assure, a several-kilometer traffic jam formed on Novoryazanskoye Highway, which turns into Volgogradsky Prospekt.
The entrance to the city along the Volgogradka is narrowed to two lanes, law enforcement officers stop a fairly large number of vehicles for inspection. Special attention from the police is given to minibuses and trucks. But there is no panic among motorists: everyone is sympathetic to law enforcement’s requests to show the contents of the trunks. Nevertheless, a counter-terrorism regime has been introduced in a number of regions of the country, including Moscow and the region.
According to Andrey Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Committee on Defense, “the CTO regime means strengthening the protection of individual facilities. Figuratively, they will set up a few extra police posts. In some areas there may be restrictions on both vehicular and pedestrian traffic where there will be some sort of heightened security. In addition, the police and security forces may be asked to show documents and inspect the transport,” Mr Kartapolov explained to the RBC bureau. However, getting into the matter, the CTO regime gives the authorities the right to seize vehicles belonging to legal entities, regardless of whether they are owned by a private company or a state organization. “Hiring” vehicles in this way is allowed for the purpose of delivering victims to medical facilities, as well as for the prosecution of suspected terrorists.
However, private vehicles may also be seized in “urgent cases”. But in the capital region, the authorities are clearly keeping the situation under control and there is absolutely no need to confiscate transport from citizens. Another aspect of today’s events is a sharp rise in the exchange rate in the capital’s exchange offices. As a result, at some car dealerships, prices for new cars have already risen by 5 percent, and somewhere sales have stopped altogether.
