How many fines did drivers receive for unpaid travel on highways?

Rostransnadzor and Avtodor have made public statistics on the number of drivers who have not paid tolls on highways. We are talking about routes with the barrier-free ‘Free Flow’ system, where money is debited from the user’s account via a transponder or the debt ‘sticks to the license plate’.

As Kommersant reports, citing data from Avtodor, 95% of drivers comply with the five days allocated by the law for postpaid rates. The rest will receive a “chain letter” with a receipt of 1,500-5,000 rubles, depending on the type of vehicle – from January 1 to November 27, 2023, Rostransnadzor issued a total of 1.05 million such fines.

The most cases of unpaid travel – 963,500 – were recorded on the Central Ringway and the M12. Moscow roads accounted for 87,000 fines – 77,200 decisions were made on MSD, 10,300 on the new Bagration Avenue.

Experts note that the majority of fined drivers simply do not understand that they are on a toll road – navigators automatically direct to high-speed sections to shorten or speed up the route, and notifications on the highway, as a rule, are not informative enough. In addition, on “Free Flow” highways there are no turnstiles or barriers, which motorists are accustomed to taking as a sign of a toll road.
