– Of course we have to speed up the roads, speed up. It’s safe to speed up. In many ways, our roads have become even better than all European roads. We now see from the quality and arrangement of the elements of the road network that it is possible to increase individual sections to 150 km / h, – Kommersant quotes Mr. Chernikov.

He recalled that the initiative to increase the speed limit from 110 to 130 km/h on some parts of toll roads belonged to the Ministry of Interior. And this experience was recognized as successful, because after raising the threshold, the number of accidents on the “test” sections did not increase. Moreover: the capacity of the roads has increased and the aggression of the driver has decreased.

We add that Lieutenant General Chernikov is not the first to allow the threshold to be raised to 150 km / h. Earlier, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Marat Khusnullin announced a possible adjustment of the speed limit. Exactly two years ago, he promised that the final decision on this matter would fall within a month, but the idea was never carried out. However, it is possible that they will implement it now that it has been conditionally approved by the highest ranks of the Ministry of the Interior.
