As noted in the press service of Rosavtodor, positive results were achieved due to the improvement of the quality of the road surface and measures to eliminate the centers of accidents. The results were announced at a meeting led by the head of the traffic police Viktor Nilov and the head of the road service of the Russian Federation Roman Starovoit. Viktor Nilov reminded the conference participants that Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a positive assessment to the changes that have taken place in ensuring the safety and protection of the interests of road users on federal highways. So, for eight months of 2016, there is a steady downward trend in the number of road accidents, as well as the number of people killed and wounded in them. Roman Starovoit noted that by the end of the current road season, more than 71% of the Russian federal highways of the country will be brought into the standard state, although in 2012 this figure did not exceed 40%. Over the past two years, specialists from the Federal Road Service have repaired over 18,000 kilometers of coverage. The experts noted that over the past year alone, due to the improvement of the quality of infrastructure, it was possible to eliminate more than 1,300 centers of accidents on the federal highways of the country. The greatest efficiency is observed in places where overground pedestrian crossings were built and barriers were installed. “Only through joint efforts can the level of road safety and the safety of federal roads be ensured,” comments Roman Starovoit. “In recent years, the legal framework has been significantly improved, conditions have been created for the full-fledged maintenance of highways in a standard condition, work has been carried out to optimize speed modes, and work continues to control the transportation of heavy cargo.” During the working meeting, the participants noted that the successful experience of federal road workers should be extended to the regional network of highways in the framework of the priority area "Safe and High-Quality Roads". To this end, in the coming years, a set of programs will be implemented that are aimed at bringing highways into a standard state and increasing road safety. Earlier, the portal "Kolesa.ru" reported that a website with data on the situation on the roads of federal, regional and intermunicipal importance would appear in Russia. Now this resource is being developed by specialists of the Ministry of Communications and Mass Media.
