In the Astrakhan region proposed to establish hours of silence

In the Astrakhan region prepared a bill that establishes a time when residents are forbidden to violate the peace and quiet of others. As it became known to “MK in Astrakhan”, the initiative provides for restrictions on weekdays, weekends and holidays, as well as a daily two-hour period of silence.

According to the draft law “On ensuring silence and peace of citizens in the Astrakhan region”, from Monday to Friday, noise will be prohibited from 23:00 to 8:00. On Saturdays, Sundays and non-working holidays, restrictions are proposed to be set from 22:00 to 10:00.

In addition, the bill provides for a daily period of silence from 13:00 to 15:00. It will work regardless of the day of the week.

The document contains exceptions. Restrictions will not apply to actions related to the prevention and liquidation of emergency situations, ensuring public safety and prevention of offenses. The law also does not cover work necessary for the functioning of life support systems of the population.

Separately, exceptions are provided for public events, religious rites and ceremonies, sports, entertainment and other mass events held in accordance with the procedure established by law.

A special regime is proposed to be maintained for New Year's Eve. Silence requirements will not apply from 22:00 on December 31 to 6:00 on January 1.

The bill also does not apply to actions for which liability is already provided for by the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offences.

For violation of the established requirements, citizens, officials and legal entities will be administratively liable in accordance with the regional law “On Administrative Offences”.
