Initially, systems for automatically recording traffic violations were planned to be installed in places with high accident rates to “calm down” traffic, but the regions very quickly realized that this method of replenishing the budget was quite effective, so they began to install stationary cameras on the principle “here is where the driver can violate.” Gradually, the systems learn to record more and more violations, disciplining drivers.
It must be remembered that when violations are recorded by automatic cameras, there is a “presumption of guilt”, that is, the driver has to prove his innocence or that the complex is working with errors.
Speed violation
The first cameras were only able to record drivers exceeding the speed limit; they were installed on the borders of populated areas, but today such complexes are installed both within the city and on country roads. The most controversial are the complexes that record the average speed in a certain area. There is no concept of “average speed” in the traffic rules, but the use of Avtodoria, Cordon-Temp and other complexes is recognized as legal, as are fines for them.
According to Art. 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia, exceeding the permitted speed by 20–40 km/h, recorded by automatic violation detection systems, is punishable by a fine of 500 rubles.
, at 40–60 km/h - in the amount of 1000 rubles, at 60–80 km/h - in the amount of 2500 rubles, if exceeding the permitted speed by more than 80 km/h - a fine of 5000 rubles.
