Traffic police cameras in Moscow - location and information about them

The number of traffic police cameras on the roads of Moscow is constantly increasing, due to the fact that since 2008 amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses have come into force, according to which photo and video recording tools in the service of traffic police inspectors monitor drivers' compliance with traffic rules. movement. Based on the data obtained from the traffic police cameras, fines can be imposed on the driver.

How profitable this innovation can be judged by the dynamics of increasing the number of cameras:

• in mid-2008, there were about a hundred technical means, and their number included not only stationary cameras, but also radars that could record speed and recognize a license plate;
• in mid-2013, Strelka complexes appeared in Moscow and their number was about six hundred complexes for the entire city;
• for March 2014 - 800 cameras;
• by the end of 2014, it is planned to install another 400 cameras.

Along with the growth in the number of traffic police cameras, work is constantly underway to modernize them. So, if earlier pictures of not the highest quality were transmitted, today the car number is determined automatically, even if it is dirty and unreadable. In addition, new complexes are being purchased that will be able to recognize not only Russian license plates, but also European, American, Latin American and CIS countries, and information on violators will be sent not only to the main point, but also directly to the tablets of traffic police inspectors so that they can to more quickly detain drivers who violate traffic rules.

It makes no sense to give a complete list of traffic police cameras because it is constantly increasing. However, if you look at the general layout of the cameras, the principle of their location becomes clear:

• most of them are located on the Moscow Ring Road;
• on the inner ring
• on overpasses and avenues diverging from the inner and outer rings towards the Moscow Ring Road - on Kutuzovsky, Ryazansky, Entuziastov Highway at traffic interchanges at intersections with the Moscow Ring Road, Lefortovsky tunnel, etc .;
• on the highway departing from the Moscow Ring Road - Minskoe highway, Moscow-Don highway, Novoryazanskoe highway, Yaroslavskoe and so on.

Cameras are installed in places that pose the greatest danger to road users: bridges, road junctions, tunnels, intersections, overpasses. At the entrances to the cameras, signs “Video recording of offenses is underway” are usually hung out, so it cannot be said that drivers were not warned.

Principal offenses recorded by cameras:

• over speed;
• exit into the oncoming lane;
• exit to a dedicated line, tram tracks;
• crossing a red traffic light without stopping before the stop line;
• control over compliance with the mode of movement of freight vehicles.

You can find out about the location of cameras within Moscow on any official website of the traffic police, and manufacturers of navigators and radar detectors with GPS have their own databases, which are constantly updated. All this information can be easily downloaded to your tablet, navigator or smartphone in the public domain.

Another important question is whether video recording cameras affect the overall statistics of violations? Undoubtedly they influence. So, after analyzing the number of accidents on the roads of Moscow and Russia as a whole, it turns out that from 2007 to 2011 the number of accidents, accidents and deaths on the road has decreased by 30 percent. What is it connected with? - With the advent of cameras on the roads, with an increase in fines? Perhaps all the measures in the complex affect the improvement of statistics. In any case, the traffic police are confident that the cameras have reduced the number of accidents by as much as 20%.
