At the entrance to Kazan reduced the speed of movement

To improve road safety at the entrance to Kazan on the Orenburg highway (Route R-239) was introduced a new speed limit. From today on the site from the 11th to the 14th kilometer leading to the city, the maximum speed will be 70 km / h.

According to FKU Volgo-Vyatskravtodor, the reason for this decision was the statistics of an accident: since the beginning of 2026, 38 accidents have been recorded in this segment, which caused injuries to six people and the death of one. The analysis showed that drivers often do not have time to reduce the speed to the 60 km / h installed in the city, which leads to sharp braking and collisions. The new limit of 70 km/h will allow drivers to adapt more smoothly to urban speed mode, reducing the risk of accidents.

Drivers are encouraged to plan their journeys with changes in mind and pay attention to road signs.
