40% of all cameras recording traffic violations on Russian roads exist only on paper…
40% of all cameras recording traffic violations on Russian roads exist only on papers and are nothing more than “scare pictures” in navigators. This was announced to Mash by members of the National Automobile Union, who calculated everything and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to remove the fakes – because they create emergency situations.
According to data from the Russian State Traffic Safety Inspectorate website, 50,260 photo and video recording cameras of violations have been installed throughout Immense. The figure is large-scale, but does not agree with the report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the first quarter – it stated that only 29.8k devices are operating in the country. Of these, 26k are stationary, 3k are mobile and 800 are mobile. It turns out that at least 20.4k were placed in the database by mistake. Simpler: when the navigator suggests that there is a camera ahead, most likely it is reacting to a “ghost” installation. One of the possible reasons for this joke is that the traffic police does not check whether there is actually surveillance and does not clean its database. At the same time, it accepts and enters information. In addition, the traffic police register contains PAK PM or “robocop” cameras, which are prohibited by a decision of the Supreme Court.
The National Automobile Union told Mash that this is causing a “kangaroo effect”. When drivers slow down sharply in front of the camera, and then accelerate in an area free from control. In winter, this is a plus for numerous accidents and deaths on the roads. Therefore, they asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to identify the actual locations of the cameras, remove them where they do not exist, and remove devices that do not meet the requirements of current legislation.
