In Moscow, at the end of 2021, the main type of accident was a collision with a pedestrian — almost 3,000 accidents in which 166 people died and 2,801 were injured. This was announced on February 8 by the official Telegram channel of the Moscow State traffic inspectorate.
“In January, you violated safety standards more often than transport drivers – almost 13,000 administrative materials were drawn up for traffic violations by pedestrians. Drivers violated less, not providing an advantage in traffic to passers-by – almost 12 thousand offenses, ”the message says.
Especially for pedestrians, the Moscow State traffic inspectorate has published a memo that lists the rules of conduct on the road. So, the memo says that a pedestrian must cross the road in the places established by the rules of the road. Before starting the crossing, you must make sure that the exit to the roadway is safe. In addition, when crossing the roadway, you must remove the phone and remove the hood, which limits the view. It is also necessary to use reflective elements on clothing.
On October 12, the Russian State traffic inspectorate defined the term “aggressive driving”. So, according to the agency, this is the conscious behavior of the driver on the road in such a way as to increase the risk of an accident, cause physical or emotional harm to other road users.
