The death rate in road accidents is planned to be reduced by one and a half times by 2030.

"The State Traffic Inspectorate urges drivers to exercise increased care when approaching pedestrian crossings and strictly comply with the requirements of the Traffic Rules to provide an advantage to pedestrians. It is necessary to reduce speed in advance, carefully monitor the situation on both sides of the roadway and be prepared for a complete stop of the vehicle. Special care should be taken at night, when limited visibility makes it difficult to detect people on the road in a timely manner," said Police Colonel Sergey Hrantskevich, head of the Department for Road Safety Promotion and Prevention of child traffic Injuries at the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation.

In 2025, Russian courts prosecuted 115.8 thousand drivers for driving into oncoming traffic. This is 9% less than a year earlier.
