the founder of the party “New people” Alexey Nechaev on the eve of the traffic police, which is celebrated annually on July 3 noted that the resonant road accident with participation of Mikhail Efremov should be considered, not as a show with a political tinge, and as a catalyst for reform in the field of safety on the Russian roads.
“In Russia last year in a traffic accident died 16.9 thousand people. This population of an average Russian town, such as the Profit in the Ulyanovsk region, or Kirsanov in the Tambov region, or Neftegorsk in Samara. And so – every year.
According to statistics, every 11th of the accident leads to death, and the greatest number of deaths connected with departure on an oncoming lane. A good example is the accident of Michael Efremova. It is clear that sit behind the wheel drunk is unacceptable, and such an act cannot be justified, but if the site of the fatal accident on Smolensk square was would be a separation fence, the head-on collision could have been avoided. This means would not have died a good guy Sergey Zakharov, would not have happened irreparable, – says Alexey Nechaev. – Instead of having to organize all over the country the next show, the state should think about revising existing building codes in the direction of increasing number of engineering structures with the function of preventing the accident. The state can and should fight for security, for example, to initiate a mandatory installation of dividers on roads with more than four lanes”.
According to Alexey Nechaev, it is clear why in big cities avoid the installation of barriers. All this is done, most likely, for the convenience of officials, so they can famously fly on “leased”. Another Federal issue according to the politician, is huge, even excessive number of CCTV cameras.
“on the one hand, the inspectors of traffic police were less likely to hide in the bushes and offer to “resolve issues on the spot,” and it is good”, —says Alexey Nechaev. On the other hand, many drivers are annoyed that the cameras and signs of fotovideofiksatsiey set so that they are difficult to spot. For example, the mark 6.22 – photovideo fixing. It is the same ambush on the road, only man-made. It should be remembered that part of the fines goes to the state budget. And the part swells the revenues of the companies-operators for the installation of such cameras, which may also encourage them to make a “trap””.
As you know, in 2019, the Russian President instructed to inform participants of road movements on the cameras on dangerous roads. In 2020, the Ministry of interior amended the SDA, including the introduction of a new sign 6.22. Photovideo fixing. At the same time, official documents are not spelled out parameters visibility for drivers as mark 6.22, and the cameras themselves.
From the point of view of socialwow inequalities, according to Alexey Nechaev, will not go away and the problem of spectly, trains and flashing lights. The road continues to overlap to give a pass to the official. In traffic jams are imminent, people are late on their cases.
“the Number of flashing lights though, and managed to slightly reduce, especially in Moscow, under pressure from the public, but this problem has not disappeared. In the regions, local elites continue to feel like owners of the public roads, which are built on our taxes, – says Alexey Nechaev. – Unfortunately, the speed of movement of the officials on the roads does not depend on the speed of their solutions to people’s problems, but just people to be afraid of them clearly do not.”
