In Moscow, 3,800 traffic police cameras are currently active. And so far, the transport officials of the mayor’s office do not intend to increase their numbers.
“As soon as we see that the camera has completed its task, drivers check their speed limit, we don’t buy a new one, but re-attach the camera in a new location or a new dedicated lane,” said Liksutov.
According to him, in 2021-2022, the location of 900 traffic police cameras in the capital has changed in this way. In addition, with their help, Moscow police were able to reduce car thefts from 8,700 cars in 2015 to 1,200 this year, Kommersant reported.
Recall that Moscow is second only to Tatarstan in the number of traffic police cells. True, 4,700 “Tatar” cells are scattered throughout the republic, and 3,800 “Moscow” cells are concentrated within the boundaries of the metropolis. It should be noted that taking into account 2,700 automatic fixation complexes near Moscow, it is the main region that confidently leads in Russia in terms of their total number: about 6,500 control lines in Moscow and the region.
