In 2022, many more tourists will go to the Russian south, because the usual destinations do not matter: airports are closed and the population has a nose for money. Will have to send. In addition, a mile behind the wheel is far from the greatest danger of the journey. What to expect from the “sea route” this year, the AvtoVzglyad portal found out.
It’s just that we’re all going “south” this year: the resorts of the Krasnodar Territory are for many Russians the only way to get to the sea until the dust settles in politics and the economy. We pick up things, book a hotel, load the car, an experienced driver also comes by for diagnosis. That’s, it seems, all. However, ahead is not only a long road and a lot of asphalt. Traveling to the south has its own peculiarities, which you should take into account in order not to ruin your holiday.
Firstly, despite the excellent road surface and the high speed limit, the M4 motorway is not a place to race. The path is long, it will take a lot of strength. But this is poetry and prose is queuing at gas stations. Gas stations can’t handle the influx of tourists, the “tail” is out of the way, and refueling sometimes takes more than an hour. Do you need it? It will be much easier, cheaper and faster to choose a comfortable speed for yourself and the car, which will save fuel and nerves.
The second important element is contactless payment, also known as transponder. Experienced drivers know that some points “work” at the beginning, and some – at the barrier. In addition, there will always be a “wise man” who wants to follow him or ride for free. Because of them, you have to give back regularly, releasing the loser from the gates of payment. The bottom line is simple: don’t push the person in front of you, you’ll pass faster. The transponder itself saves exactly one hour – it has been tested repeatedly.
Yes, the Moscow, Tula, Lipetsk and Voronezh regions will all pass “from the screw”: forces in bulk, fuel splashing into the tank, know for yourself – wind kilometers on wheels. But then the “raisin” kicks in: the Rostov region and everything beyond is notorious for the traffic snares that anyone coming in for the first time finds themselves in. In the south, trucks work “short shoulder”, and to make money they always go with a big overload. By the way, this explains the passion of the residents of Rostovites and Krasnodar for “big nose trucks” – American-made hood tractors, famous for their ability to pull above the norm. Overloading in combination with the heat leads to the fact that the asphalt goes into folds and forms not only a hole, but also a protruding “pier”. If you accept this, you will not only say goodbye to the bumper, but also to the crankcase. And so on vacation.
Coming south, especially if you have to leave the main road, you should forget about haste and look carefully at the canvas, trying to stay in the middle of the road. Along the edges of the strip, as a rule, a fold of asphalt is formed, so that you can bump into it while overtaking or out of great love for the curb. Both are reckless. No matter how much you want to get to the hotel as quickly as possible, accuracy and caution are the best way to save time on the road. Especially when it comes to the Russian south, famous for its “nuances”. Then, and only then, does the “sea route” pass without incident. And no break.
