Over the past 24 hours, 307 road accidents have occurred in Russia.

Over the past day, 307 road accidents were recorded on Russian roads, in which 26 people were killed and 360 injured. 19 of the dead were passengers and drivers. This was reported to Izvestia on November 28 by the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

As a result of 130 accidents, 68 of which occurred at pedestrian crossings and 62 outside their area of operation, seven pedestrians were killed, and 124 more were injured in various degrees of severity. Among the injured are 19 children and teenagers, 13 of whom were injured when crossing the roadway in designated places.

23 accidents involving buses were recorded, in which one person was killed, 43 more road users, including three children, required medical assistance. Nine bus accidents were caused by traffic violations committed by their drivers.

In Penza, a 51-year-old driver of a city bus with 15 passengers in the cabin did not provide an advantage in traffic when leaving a secondary road onto the main road and collided with a passenger car and a truck at an unregulated intersection. As a result of the accident, the truck driver and eight bus passengers were hospitalized with injuries.

Over the past day, 25 accidents involving minors have been registered on Russian roads, in which 25 young road users were injured, including four passengers and two drivers. One child, a pedestrian, was killed.

In one of the villages of Crimea, a passenger car driver, who has been prosecuted 47 times for traffic violations this year alone, knocked down a 13-year-old schoolgirl crossing the roadway at an unregulated pedestrian crossing.

In addition, temporary restrictions or traffic closures were introduced in some regions of the country due to adverse weather conditions. For example, in the Murmansk Region, due to gusty winds, snowstorms and limited visibility, traffic has been stopped on three regional highways since yesterday. In the Jewish Autonomous Region, due to snowfall and ice, bus traffic was restricted along the federal highway R-297 Amur from 1752 km to 1948 km, as well as three other regional roads. The restriction has now been lifted.

The State Traffic Inspectorate urges motorists to strictly follow the rules of the road and be more attentive on the roads of towns and cities, especially in the morning and evening. Drivers should take special care when approaching intersections and unregulated pedestrian crossings. You should not rush to "skip" them as quickly as possible, but, on the contrary, slow down to the minimum speed in advance in order to stop the vehicle for pedestrians to pass.

On the eve of the weekend, the State Traffic Inspectorate recommends that motorists, when planning long-distance trips, first familiarize themselves with the weather forecast and media information about possible overlap sites, outlining detours in advance. In case of traffic restrictions or closure of road sections due to worsening weather, the relevant information is promptly posted on the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate, as well as on the official pages of the service units on social networks.

Save and preserve: a strategy has been adopted to improve road safety

The corresponding decree was signed by the President of the Russian Federation

"We would like to draw drivers' attention to the fact that on the eve of winter, you should be extremely careful when driving: avoid sudden rash maneuvers and lane changes on roads slippery from autumn rains, sleet or ice, observe the interval and distance between vehicles, do not exceed the set speed. Put "winter" tires on the wheels. Also, do not forget that in conditions of insufficient visibility, it is necessary to move with external lighting devices turned on, be sure to use fog lights, if available, and during precipitation, reduce speed as much as possible and move with the alarm lights on. If the weather worsens, refrain from using personal vehicles, and in urban conditions, transfer to public transport," said Police Colonel Sergei Hrantskevich, head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of child traffic Injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.
