In the year 2024, Russia witnessed a substantial surge in traffic violations, with a total of 255.1 million infractions recorded - a 6.3% increase from the previous year[1]. While the specific causes behind this rise are not explicitly detailed, factors such as increased traffic volume, stricter enforcement or reporting mechanisms, and social and economic changes affecting driver behaviour are often associated with such trends.
The rise in traffic violations led to a corresponding increase in enforcement measures. In 2024, over 316,000 complaints were lodged, with photo and video evidence, and 93% of the issued fines were based on data from traffic cameras[2]. These enforcement actions resulted in administrative penalties for traffic violators. For instance, there were at least 83 instances where culprits were administratively penalized for road incidents, with 80 of these instances involving speeding violations[3].
Despite the significant increase in complaints and enforcement measures, the exact number of traffic violations prevented remains undisclosed. However, the increased fines and accountability suggest a more vigilant traffic enforcement environment in Russia during 2024.
It is also worth noting that only one in five traffic rule violators faced punishment in 2024, indicating a potential need for further improvement in traffic law enforcement. Additionally, there was no new information available regarding the number of pedestrian-related traffic rule violations prevented or the number of complaints registered with photo and video evidence.
In summary, the year 2024 saw a significant increase in traffic violations in Russia, prompting a more active response from traffic enforcement authorities. While the exact number of violations prevented is not known, the increase in fines and accountability suggests a more rigorous enforcement environment. However, the data also highlights the need for continued efforts to ensure that a larger proportion of traffic rule violators are brought to account.
