On the Karaganda-Astana highway, as on other republican expressways, road signs will be installed that change the permitted speed in adverse weather conditions. According to the new rules, in case of poor visibility or icy conditions, drivers are required to reduce the speed to 60 kilometers per hour.
This measure is aimed at reducing the risk of road accidents and preventing emergency situations.
- A special speed regime will be introduced on roads of republican significance in adverse weather conditions, - noted the deputy head of the administrative police department, Lieutenant Colonel Elzhas Zhartybayev. - The speed regime and average speed will be combined with surveillance cameras to record speed limit violations.
Under normal conditions, the maximum speed on the highway in good weather conditions remains the same - 140 km/h.
As for the average speed, the police department explained that it is calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time interval. On straight sections of the road, the increase in this indicator will be recorded by automatic registration systems. They are currently installed on 13 highways of the republic in a test mode. Fines for violation of the rules range from 5 to 40 MCI.
So far, such violations have not been registered in the region, because the necessary equipment has not yet been installed.
What else you need to know about the changes in the legislation was reported at a briefing held at the Regional Communications Service. The classification of administrative responsibility for amateurs has changed.
- Article 592 of the Road Traffic Code has been supplemented with paragraphs 3-1 and 5, - Elzhas Zhartybayev clarified. - If earlier the maximum speed limit was 40 km/h and above, and there was only one fine for it, now a driver who increased the speed in the range of 40–60 km/h will pay 20 MCI (78,640 tenge). And for exceeding 60 kilometers per hour, the law provides for a fine of 40 MCI (157,280 tenge). If this amount is exceeded again, the fine will increase to 60 MCI (235,920 tenge).
This innovation was introduced taking into account the analysis of road accidents, where every third person dies due to speeding on suburban roads.
