Professor Belinkin comes out with a forecast for the introduction of a toll in a 10-year horizon for all roads in Russia, this is not a good sign.
With his speeches 15 years ago, the introduction of paid parking began throughout the country. First, of course, in Moscow, where the first pilot project in the center appeared. Blinkin, along with today's foreign agents and extremists Varlamov and Katz, have literally never left TV, talking about how good it will be when they start charging drivers for the rectangle drawn on the asphalt by the Ministry of Transportation. And in general it will only be in the city center, inside the garden ring. Very European. We need to adopt best practices.
Over the past 15 years, paid parking in Moscow has crept up to the Moscow Ring Road. To the joy of those good residents who were happy that now the bourgeoisie in the center would have to split. Now everyone is happy together.
Judging by the fact that Blinkin was released with a forecast about toll roads, now a long and tedious discussion on this topic will begin. According to the plan, they will first offer to conduct a pilot, then they will recognize it as a success, and then, when people start to resent, they will offer a minimum payment and some benefits. People will scratch their heads and decide it's better than nothing. And then it will go away.
incidentally. If someone does not remember, in the first years of the introduction of paid parking, you had to pay 40 rubles for an hour of parking in the center of Moscow. Now the price reaches 800, and soon it will be 950.
