the Draft law “On road traffic” on Friday adopted by the state Duma in the first reading. The document allows the city and municipal authorities to use different restrictions for dealing with congestion. The most controversy in Parliament has raised the rate that allows you to enter the fare into a separate urban areas. The authorities of Moscow and St. Petersburg say that a new tool to use not planning. Experts believe that the entry fee in the cities waiting for the Russians in 2018.
Adopted in the first reading the draft law “On road traffic” was introduced in the state Duma and the transport Ministry. Today in Russia there is no separate law which would set out broad principles for the fight against congestion— each region does it differently, explain in the office. In the new law this gap is eliminated: describe the terminology, the powers of traffic management, the criteria of its effectiveness. The most controversial part of the document is the norm, allowing the subjects of Federation, municipal and city authorities use various restrictions to regulate traffic, in particular, to introduce tolls in certain areas of cities. Deputy transport Minister Sergei Aristov said that such experience is already with foreign countries: in a number of cities, including in London, you will be charged when driving in the historic part of the city. The law also allows the ban to vehicles with dirty exhaust.
All these ideas contained in the concept of law, which was submitted to the Ministry of transport in 2012. In 2014, the idea of a congestion charge in the centre forward Department of transport, which caused a wave of indignation on the part of the population. As a result, Moscow this idea have refused.
Yesterday in the Duma the bill was criticized. The head of the Duma Committee on transport Evgeny Moskvichev (“United Russia”) said that the use of such measures as the entry fee, valid only in the large cities, the decision should be made after the approval of the “integrated transport schemes”. In this regard, he said, the bill must be “seriously modified”. United Russia Alexander Vasiliev, also called the document raw. Communist Yury sinelshchikov noticed that the proposed restrictions are contrary to the constitutional right to move freely throughout the country. “Maybe enough to shift onto the shoulders of motorists, the inability of the Executive to fill its own budget? — was indignant the Vice-speaker from LDPR Igor Lebedev.— Against the congestion charge in the city will reach millions of voters.” “Shake out the last penny, saying, and even give for entry,— said the Oleg Nilov (a just Russi a).— Where salaries are higher? Where’s the indexing?” According to mister Nilov, his faction is going to challenge the law in the constitutional court after its adoption. Meanwhile, according to Russian law mandatory for consideration by the Constitutional court is the request of not less than 90 deputies, therefore, to appeal the law on the matter spravorossy with 23 mandates, only in case of support of deputies from other factions. Mr. Aristov in response to criticism of deputies said that the Ministry is ready to participate in amending the bill a second reading.
Authorities in major cities to organize a paid entry is not in a hurry. The Department of transport of Moscow, “Kommersant” has stated that the ability of intelligent transport system and paid Parking to regulate traffic has not been exhausted, so the entry fee, the city authorities do not discuss. In the Committee on transport infrastructure development of St. Petersburg “b” also said that while the entry fee to enter the plan. “I think the tone of the conversation will change to the world football championship 2018: the theme restrictions again raise, citing the security in Sochi during the Olympic games,— said the coordinator of the movement “Blue buckets” Peter Shkumatov.— Only, unlike Sochi, after the event, the entry fee, if entered, will remain forever.”
