In theory, the driver and the pedestrian are equal road users, equally obliged to comply with the traffic rules. But in practice, “horseless” are rarely fined, which is why they don’t exactly follow the letter of the law. Because of this disparity, some turned out to be higher than others than they regularly use: a person walking slowly across a crosswalk, carried away by a mobile phone, makes a whole crowd of motorists nervous and waiting. He deserves a period.
In the event of a collision, the helmsman is a priori to blame – he controls the means of increased danger, and the pedestrian is literally “naked” in the face of impending fate. Because of this, apparently, there are regular races on the Moscow ring road – 5 lanes in each direction – and “crossed” highway crossings, where the speed limit of a car reaches 110 km / h, and the “zebra” is located directly above the place of the walk.
And on the other hand, well, who runs after a pedestrian to fine him for crossing the roadway the wrong way, like Sharik with pictures through the woods? None – with the rarest, we repeat, exception. Yes, cameras can already capture such violations – a pilot project has even started in the Moscow region – but there is no legal justification for introducing this practice.
