2018: Plan to install dynamic road signs
In early September 2018, it became known that road signs would appear in Russia that would independently begin to change the maximum permitted speed.
As the Izvestia newspaper was told at the Russian Road Research Institute (ROSDORNII), corresponding to GOST "Highways and High-Speed Roads. Organization and road safety. General Requirements "has already been developed. At the same time, the adoption of a new law to use such intelligent transport systems will not be required.
New road signs are planned to be placed on highways and high-speed roads, on which the permitted speed is up to 110 kilometers and up to 90 kilometers per hour, respectively. They will display the recommended speed of movement, taking into account precipitation, visibility conditions on the road and other factors.
It is noted that the new road signs will be electronic and cost 5-10 times higher than usual. Nevertheless, this innovation, according to experts, should increase the level of safety on highways.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has set a goal for the government to reach zero road traffic deaths by 2030. This is stated in the decree signed by the president "On the national goals and strategic objectives of the development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2024." In 2017, according to the traffic police, about 20 thousand people died as a result of an accident in Russia.
Alexander Lytkin, an expert of the National Expert Council for Driver Training and Testing, recognizing the usefulness of electronic signs, believes that for the sake of their introduction, changes will have to be made to traffic rules, and he suggests introducing them not suddenly to fine drivers, but gradually and if necessary.[1]
