On the roads of Russia will appear toll lane

Russian authorities are in a constant search for innovative solutions to the challenges of road traffic in the country. The new initiative is the introduction of paid high-speed lines.

Federal road Agency (Rosavtodor) told about the projects of the office to use in Russia commercial lanes on highways aggregate use. One of the main arguments in favour of innovation magnified extensive spread of similar measures in foreign States.

"For the first time similar practice was implemented in the US and little by little has been growing at an international level", - is told in the news Rosavtodor. According to the Agency, a similar measure is expected to improve significantly transport congestion Russia.

"The idea is contained in the fact that in the peak hours on the road reveals commercial high-speed bandwidth, and by means of the automated system of collection of payment for the hungry provides a rapid passage through the busy roads", - is told in the news, posted on the official website of the Federal road Agency.

The Department says that the international experience says on joint cooperation of the public and private sectors in implementing and sustaining the project toll lanes. The scheme, according to Rosavtodor, consists in the following - the concessionaire for personal cash completes the lane on the highway, and then begin to collect tolls on it, thus obtaining the profit.
