Why this summer is definitely not worth going to Sochi by car

Now it is much easier to get to Sochi than to Crimea, Gelendzhik or Anapa, because crowds of people who want to relax at sea have come here.
Now it is much easier to get to Sochi than to Crimea, Gelendzhik or Anapa, because crowds of people who want to relax at sea have come here. Of course, the infrastructure was not ready for such an influx of suffering people. The rains have added their complexity. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells why it is better to go around the resort town in the next two months.
Of course, the resort capital of Russia is developing. The new trend is electric vehicles. You see Nissan Leaf and Tesla more and more in the streets. There is also a program to install charging stations on the street. However, we strongly advise against renting a “train” or, pretending to be a hero, coming alone.
While the charging console installation sites are marked with signs and markers, it means nothing to the natives. They park their tinted 8s and battered right-hand drive Japanese cars in front of the Chargers. This makes it impossible to stretch the cable. In a word, having arrived at a free – according to the map – console, it is quite possible to stay with a “bare” battery.
Also, no stop signs are freely interpreted. Look at the picture. Cars are literally lined up. This is not Moscow for you. What about tow trucks? Of course they are, but they only work in most “bread” places. That is, in the center, where there are parking problems and there are always a lot of cars. In other areas, if there are no raids, you can be under prohibition signs for days.
Another accident is electric scooters. Often their mates run straight down the road, not obeying any rules. So motorists who are not familiar with the local road network should exercise caution.
The long-standing problem has also returned: a massive traffic jam from Khosta to Adler. It literally paralyzes the movement of different parts of the city. Some citizens try to move along the side of the road, adding to the congestion. Well, there’s just no detour.
We also notice that the incomes of the residents have risen. Yards are literally full of cars. They are even parked above the drainage ditches, having previously placed a column so that no other takes its place. “Your” piece of land makes you forget caution. For example, after heavy rain, the water stream can bring a tree trunk under the bumper or damage the brake line. But that doesn’t stop people.
By the way, about bad weather. This year has seen some pretty heavy downpours, literally washing away quite a few cars. That is why we warn citizens who go to the sea on four wheels: carefully choose hotels with parking spaces.
There was no serious flooding in the historic part of the city. The greatest problems occurred in the mountains, and then because of the chaotic development. The slope of the roads there often reaches 30 degrees. Therefore, the stream of water washed away everything in its path. Added trouble and a big hail. So it would be useful to put some thick blankets in the trunk to cover the windows with in case something happens.
