The response of the authorities is still unknown, said only that the pedestrians themselves become perpetrators of accidents, not following the SDA.

President Vladimir Sokolov explained that reducing the threshold permitted speed will help reduce the number of ROAD ACCIDENT fatalities.
At this rate (6080 km/h) in a collision with a pedestrian little chance to survive. We believe that Russia should go for large cities to the new standard and useful; It is 50 km/h, as well as in America and in Europe, "he said.
The idea to reduce the speed of traffic in cities of up to 50 kilometers per hour for the first time not announced. Is that extra 10 km/h can reduce the stopping distance of 715 metres.
