United Russia opposed lowering the non-penalized speed limit of 20 km/h.
The United Russia faction does not support lowering the non-penalized speed limit, which currently stands at 20 km/h. This was stated by Daniil Bessarabov, first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation.
"Speculation about the non—penalized speed limit on our roads, which is currently set at 20 km/h, must stop — such attempts will not lead to anything good," Interfax quoted Bessarabov as saying on April 22.
In addition, according to him, the parliamentary majority faction opposes the introduction of fines for violations of the "average speed".
Kommersant reported the day before that the State Duma Committee on State Construction and Legislation proposed rejecting the draft amendments to the Administrative Code allowing experiments to record the average speed between two or more cameras in the regions.
In September last year, the State Duma Committee on Transport did not support the bill, which proposed to return the practice of punishing drivers for exceeding the average speed. Deputies of the Vologda Region took the initiative to track average speed cameras. They proposed to introduce an experimental legal regime in their region by a separate federal law with the punishment of drivers and to conduct an experiment on one of the local highways on a 200 km section by the end of 2026.
In 2021, the Supreme Court decided that it was impossible to specify an indefinite section of road as the place of commission of a violation, a specific place was needed. In 2023, the Ministry of Transport prepared amendments to the traffic regulations, but they did not reach adoption. The Interior Ministry has repeatedly stated that it is against the return of fines before the amendments are approved.
