Traffic police admitted: drivers do
not have time to remember all the new amendments.
The rules of the road in Russia change
so often that drivers do not have time to memorize all these amendments. This
problem was recognized by the head of the traffic police, Mikhail Chernikov,
and temporarily forbade his subordinates to redraw the traffic rules.
"Constantly changing the rules to
a greater degree are not communicated to the population," Chernikov added.
"Some citizens during training in driving schools are asked to introduce
an additional course where they will read what is new."
At the same time, the State Traffic
Inspectorate clarifies that this is an internal departmental moratorium. That
is, the traffic rules may still change if such proposals are received, for
example, from the Ministry of Transport.
By the way, the last package of changes
in traffic regulations comes into force tomorrow, December 14, 2018. New road
signs are introduced: "Bicycle zone", "Customs control
point" and "Parking only vehicles of the diplomatic corps".
And a week earlier, on December 8,
another amendment canceled the obligatory identification mark
"Spikes" on cars.
Some of the other changes introduced
this year include new roundabout rules (priority was given to cars driving
around the ring), the introduction of blue markings (to designate lanes at
intersections), and the requirement for drivers to wear reflective
vests when the vehicle
is forced to stop.
