They burn them, kick them, demolish them with a car, pull them out with a cable. Moreover, it has been noticed that the closer summer gets, the more often hooligans and vandals attack road cameras. Apparently there is some kind of aggravation... However, few people know that in 90% of cases these sensors force reckless drivers to reduce their speed. According to conservative estimates by specialists from the Safe Roads of Belarus enterprise, a unified photo recording system saves about 55 human lives per year.
By the way, “maiming” and stealing sensors is a hopeless matter. And we found out why.
Don't hurt yourself
The burnt metal body, which is now shown to me by the press secretary of the Safe Roads of Belarus JSC Alexander Khilkevich, is all that remains of the stationary speed control sensor. He regularly “caught” violators in the Bykhovsky district, until one evening two sneaky Mogilev residents tore out the photo radar with a cable. They loaded him into the car and drove away. They say that they wanted to take it apart - keep something for themselves, sell something. And then the photographic recorder was burned in the forest, the “insides” were drowned.
Damaged equipment is first tested and specialists from SZAO try to bring it back to life. If the breakdowns are more serious, such as malfunctions of the speed meter, then they are dealt with by the manufacturer, and at the same time by a forensic expert. “In May of this year, hooligans attacked mobile cameras on the 32nd kilometer of the Moscow Ring Road and on Zhukov Avenue in Minsk,– Alexander gives examples. – Both hooligans, fueled by alcohol as it turned out, were detained almost immediately.” In June in the Brest region there was such a case: a man was riding a bicycle, and then stopped near a photo radar and for some reason kicked him. He fell, and the “avenger” jumped on a bicycle and began to weave through courtyards, running away from punishment.
Last year, a young driver on the exit from Orsha exceeded the speed limit by 30 km/h, and this was photographed by a camera. And when on the way back it worked again, the motorist caught the equipment with a cable and tore it out. At home I took it apart in search of a digital storage device, but found nothing. And in the morning, police officers came to the thief. At the same time, they reminded that the data from the camera is immediately transferred to the Crime Recording Center.
The actions, you see, are strange. Firstly, if you were speeding and the camera caught it, you will still receive your “letter of happiness”. By the way, some devices record not only the intruder, but also what is happening in real time, and they also have additional cameras to monitor their own condition. Secondly, all control sensors are insured, and in most cases they are restored at the expense of pests.
But the raiders are not insured against liability, including criminal liability. The equipment is quite expensive, and therefore violators can be sued for considerable sums. For example, Mogilev fishermen who threw a stolen photo radar into a fire ended up spending 5 months in custody, then there was a trial and a sentence: 4 years in prison for each, enhanced regime plus confiscation of property. But both have families... In addition, we had to work harder and compensate for the damage caused - more than 20 thousand euros. The convicts were then perplexed: they say, what prompted them to do such an act? For a Brest vandal, an attack on a mobile sensor in 2015 resulted in three years in prison and a lawsuit in the amount of 10 thousand euros.
Among the damaged equipment in the repair shop, project manager of SZAO Nikolay Rogozhnik showed me some innovations:
– Before you is a new reinforced concrete structure, the foundation for stationary cells. One of these weighs 200 kilograms. Plus, now we are doing additional pouring of concrete with metal plates. So the total weight of the entire structure with the sensor is about 400 kg. It is unlikely that it will be possible to pull out the photo fixative by the roots.
More than 500 keen “eyes” and new opportunities
Currently, the roads of Belarus are monitored by 466 stationary speed control sensors and 57 mobile ones. You can treat them differently, but you cannot help but recognize their benefits, notes Alexander Khilkevich: “There were quite good reasons for creating a photo recording system in Belarus, which is successfully used in many developed countries: according to traffic police, in 2009, 1,322 people died in accidents in the country, in 2010 – 1,190, in 2011 – 1,200. The sad statistics required drastic measures, and they were taken. Now the roads and traffic management have improved, motorists and pedestrians have become more responsible, and the driving culture has improved.”
Last year, compared to 2009, there were almost three times fewer fatal accidents. And this is also the merit unified system photographic recordings. The influence of speed on accidents is obvious. The higher the speed, the more dangerous and the less time it takes to prevent a collision. The representative of SZAO suggested:
– Let’s imagine a section of road with a speed limit of 90 km/h and traffic of 4 thousand passages per day. Let's assume that 95% of the cars (3,800 cars) were driving at the speed limit and 5% (200 cars) were exceeding it. Having seen a sign warning about traffic control, 90% of drivers who violated traffic rules (180 vehicles) reduced their speed. That is, the sign worked as a preventive measure, increasing traffic safety. At the same time, 10% of car owners ignored the warning.
The created photo recording system is multifunctional. Already, more than 130 cameras monitor the entire traffic flow at the entrances to and exits from Minsk, in all regional cities. They read the license plates of cars and take pictures of them. This information is also used in investigative activities.
Photo radars will be used not only for point control, but also for monitoring the average speed of traffic on specific sections of the road. As they did, for example, in Russia, England, Germany. In Belarus, one such pilot zone is being tested in Minsk, and a second one will soon appear on the M-1 highway.
Control sensors have recently been tested at Minsk intersections. The results, says a representative of Safe Roads of Belarus, are alarming: at one intersection alone, cameras record about a thousand violations per day. Basically this means driving through a red traffic light, crossing a stop line and making an illegal U-turn. Similar test zones are about to appear in Grodno and Gomel. In addition, a unified photo recording system is ready, if necessary, to control the passage of technical inspection, payment of insurance and road toll.
COUNTABLE
If we consider that there are, say, 500 cameras in the country and each one forces about 200 cars to slow down per day, then on average almost 100 thousand vehicles are reduced in speed every day. It is likely that at least one driver managed to avoid an accident, which means that 365 accidents were prevented per year. Of these, according to statistics, 15% could have resulted in loss of life.
DIGIT "SB"
Last year, 651 fewer people died on the roads of Belarus than in 2012.

The fire in Winter Cherry killed 64 people - the event shocked the whole country; people are still talking about the consequences, even urgent amendments to laws are being adopted. It is not just one person who is to blame for these events; the system itself has long since failed, which is why problems have been accumulating for years. Sooner or later this had to happen.
During that ill-fated weekend, not only people in the Kemerovo shopping center died - 67 people died across the country on Saturday and Sunday. Every year, tens of thousands of people die, our streets and roads have long become places of hostilities, as the country’s leadership says. Only, unlike the Kemerovo events, there is no mourning for the infrastructure victims, they are not talking about it on TV, and some deputies even propose to increase the speed and collect even more victims.
The only response of local officials, police officers and standards compilers to the rivers of blood from accidents is more fences, bright frames and underground passages. There is even a special federal program, within which subsidies are allocated from the general budget for road repairs in accordance with GOST standards. The program is considered successful - the total number of accidents is decreasing. The only problem is that the number of victims from accidents very often increases. In some regions based on open data collected These are the “talking” numbers: 
bought fences, but didn’t buy to think
Nobody wants to admit that the system is failing and proven methods are not working. It is not customary for us to admit mistakes; it is much easier to sanction deaths. Russia remains to this day a country with one of the highest road fatality rates in Europe. Our neighbors followed the proven European path and adopted it - in 10 years, Belarus has reduced the number of victims on the streets and roads by three times.
Now the mortality rate from road accidents in Belarus is lower than the average in the EU countries, although in 2005 they were at the levels of Russia - how did they do it? City Projects have prepared material about this; it will be useful to send this post to officials of your city, show statistics to designers, or request the position of the traffic police of your city. Further about the experience of Belarus without changes:
The bicycle has already been invented
Belarusians seriously thought about the high mortality rate in road accidents at the beginning of the 2000s. Activists of the Belarusian Association of Transport Experts and Surveyors (BAES), after studying the European experience in 2006, organized an interdepartmental conference in Minsk to solve this problem, where experts from the Swedish Vision Zero program and representatives of 16 other countries gathered; some of them have already proven themselves in the fight against road deaths.
“The growth of motorization in our country came at a time when others had already learned to protect road users. Why reinvent the wheel? The best thing to do is to adopt someone else’s but successful experience,” explained BNPP Chairman Yuri Vazhnik.
According to the main Belarusian activist for safe roads, they were very lucky with this conference: its participants were able to infect local officials with the idea of zero mortality in road accidents. Vazhnik recalls that the head of the traffic police did not quite understand why the Swedes set themselves the goal of “Zero deaths”; to the policeman it seemed impossible. They answered: “We want there to be zero, and we are doing everything possible for this.”
“Well, they, the traffic cops, blurted out: “Let’s have “Minus 100” every year,” Vazhnik retells the results of the conference.
The project began to be implemented literally in such a raw form. “In fact, there was no project, just these two words “Minus one hundred.” An idea was enough,” he adds. Following the words, the shoulder straps of local leaders who could not cope with the reduction flew - such traffic police chiefs were considered ineffective.
“We started with universal tools: artificial bumps, motion calming, improved control,” explains Vazhnik.
And the initial stage proved: what is needed is not a clever text with a program, but simply an infectious idea. The idea of “Minus One Hundred” was clear to people; it forced them to do what was necessary.
— I remember that I went to study in Sweden, just on the topic of artificial bumps; there were almost none in Belarus at that time. I come back, and 8 of them appear a day. I ask: “Guys, what’s going on?” And they answer me: “That’s it, don’t bother me, we’re working.”
It's not the driver's fault, it's the designer's.
At the next stages, such obvious measures were no longer enough, and BNPP sat down to analyze road accidents and study the statistics provided by the traffic police.
“We take raw materials from them, analyze, process and sell a ready-made information system with good visualization, from which it becomes clear what needs to be done. For example, these are accident factors and degree of importance, that is greatest number Road accident. As a result of the analysis, it turns out that all efforts are being devoted to the fight against drunk drivers, and they now commit only 2 percent of the total number of accidents. Therefore, forces need to be switched to other zones, much less prosperous.
For example, from the latest graphs it is clear that everything is more than fine with drunk drivers in Minsk, residents of the capital observe the speed limit, and there are even very few head-on collisions. And the priority factors influencing mortality in road accidents turned out to be the unprotected nature of pedestrians and the dark time of day. It is quite possible that these two factors are interconnected, and by eliminating one, the second will also disappear.
As follows from statistics for Minsk, in 2017, out of 41 deaths in the city, 23 were pedestrians. And most often, fatal accidents occur from midnight to three in the morning and from six to nine in the morning.
The head of technical equipment and systems of the traffic police of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk City Executive Committee, Dmitry Navoi, says that they analyze in detail each of the serious accidents in order to establish the entire chain that led to them. He gave an example: a driver crashed into a support at night and died. It turned out that he was going to the night pharmacy, that is, he could not refuse this trip. This means that socially significant establishments and institutions that operate at night must either be accessible in every area so that people do not drive at dangerous times of the day, or moving along the streets at night must be as safe as during the day .
According to Vazhnik, Minsk will completely abandon saving on street lighting, since saving on already insignificant expenses is not rational (lighting consumes only three percent of total energy traffic). When asked why exactly night accidents occur, Vazhnik cannot yet say, since “such a study has not yet been conducted.” This is how he responded to the assumption that the roads are empty at night, so drivers start speeding up.
“There are unobvious and paradoxical reasons for taking the same drunk drivers: we fought with them, but it turned out that they had nothing to do with it for a long time, and the mortality rate in road accidents almost does not depend on them,” the social activist once again reminds.
Bon voyage
After the “Minus One Hundred” program, Minsk moved on to developing the “Good Road” conceptual campaign. “Dobraya in Belarusian also means good and safe,” explains Vazhnik.
Minsk road safety strategy “Good Daroga”, developed by Yuri Vazhnik and BNPP
This is how an action plan from 2012 to 2015 appeared, that is, already systems approach. This program is approved at the level of all responsible departments; it is the main driving document where annual goals and tactical tasks are defined. If the first “Good Road” aimed to reduce the number of deaths in road accidents to 50 people (the plan was exceeded; in 2015, 41 people lost their lives in accidents), then with the next campaign (2016-2020) social activists and authorities intend to reduce the death rate in the capital to 25 people .
Another measure is to change the design with four-lane traffic and centers of gravity. In such places, drivers very often park on the left and right, thereby leaving one to one and a half lanes for traffic. In such conditions, pedestrians, including children, who are not visible due to obstacles such as cars, often become victims of road accidents. Also, safety islands began to be built on busy streets for pedestrians.
According to Vazhnik, they are also adopting the Swedish experience, but adapting it to the peculiarities of the republic. For example, if in Sweden interested architects and designers stood at the origins of the Vision Zero project, then in Belarus they still needed to be interested. We have already figured out exactly how to do this, but the system has not yet been fully implemented.
“We are of little interest in what exactly the designer will include in his project for a new road, because compliance with regulations and standards does not ensure safety,” explains police lieutenant colonel Navoi. - Therefore, we write to the designer: on this street there should be no more than such and such a number of accidents and injuries per year, these are our requirements. And the designer must adapt to them; he signs a document that, roughly speaking, he guarantees that no more than two people will die on this street per year. And we are already watching, time has passed.
If there are more road accidents and injuries than predicted, sanctions will be applied to the designers. The head of technical equipment and systems of the capital's traffic police, Dmitry Navoi, cites as an example a classic case in the yard when children fall under the wheels of a car: the car drives out, and there is no danger in its visibility zone, but a child runs out from around the corner, whom the driver could not notice from - for improperly planned space.
— The easiest way is to blame the person who made the mistake for the accident. It is not the person who is to blame, but the circumstances. The question “Who is to blame” is not needed to create safe roads; it needs to be thrown out. We need the question “What to do,” Vazhnik adds conceptually.
Not enough accidents
It is the redesign and design of streets that is in the mentioned chart among the three most important factors influencing road accidents. The director of another company, ETSConsult, which deals with road problems, Pavel Astapenya, cites sidewalks and zebra crossings as examples. For a safe crossing, they must be built on the same level and made with the same surface, and pedestrians on the roads must be clearly distinguished by color and other signals. However, according to him, such a targeted approach is beginning to become obsolete.
— We have already dealt with hotbeds of road accidents. What is the problem in Minsk now? People continue to die, in smaller numbers, but this is not happening systematically. And you can’t do anything about it until you make systemic decisions. Now we need to transfer people from cars to public and alternative transport, and also completely reduce speed.
About too few accidents for good analysis and taking action says Yuri Vazhnik. Over the past two years, there have been about 40 fatal accidents in Minsk, all in different places.
“And we don’t know what to do yet, there are no mechanisms,” says Vazhnik.
However, the Good Road campaign has already taken up efforts to reduce car traffic in the city. The first serious measure is a paid parking system in the center of Minsk. It is not quite common there: violators, as a rule, are not even fined, but people pay regularly and gradually stop driving their personal cars into the center. This is all because of the activists’ innovative approach: they came up with an unusual card system.
- Behind Last year 5 or 6 people were fined,” Vazhnik comments. — We came up with a system of cards, almost like in football: green, yellow, red. The Russian “Stopham” is an idiotic movement that is exacerbating the conflict. And at first we trumpeted for a long time that there would be paid parking, and distributed green cards to drivers. They trumpeted to such an extent that people began to ask: “When will you finally make them?” As a result, they did it and began to issue yellow cards to those drivers who did not pay. Those who did not understand and continued not to pay received red cards and then realized that they were in the wrong place, in the wrong group. And we, in turn, did not advertise any obvious measures: what would happen if you did not pay and received a card. And drivers began to fear this “what will happen” and began to pay. This has a more lasting effect on driver behavior than anything else.
Transfer people to public transport It’s not difficult for Minsk; it’s quite developed here. In the capital of Belarus there is a tram, electric buses have appeared, the metro remains from Soviet times, trolleybuses and buses also run around the city, convenient transport cards have been made for passengers.
But transferring people to alternative transport has its own difficulties: Minsk does not yet have a real bicycle infrastructure and a system of bicycle paths. However, they came up with bicycle crossings similar to pedestrian crossings, so that cyclists could not dismount when crossing the road, but continue riding. Cyclists move either on roads together with cars, or on sidewalks, which are very wide in Minsk. In the meantime, the traffic police is lobbying for the appearance of bicycle lanes.
Both Vazhnik and Navoi repeatedly mentioned non-standard and innovative solutions, which, obviously, are not spelled out either in the traffic rules, or in GOSTs, or anywhere else. In Russia, this is often a problem, since neither the customer nor the contractor will certainly want to deviate from the standards once again on paper. However, Belarus also figured out what to do about it.
“If something is not provided for by GOST, then special technical conditions are issued for it,” says Navoy. — And if something is not in the traffic rules, the traffic police can experiment at their discretion, as is the case with bicycle crossings. Thus, we try something, analyze it and, if necessary, add it to the traffic rules and GOSTs.
Despite the amount of work done, the traffic police and social activists are still unable to carry out many useful reforms. For example, the authorities have reduced the maximum permissible speed to 50 kilometers per hour in residential areas and the city center (with the exception of areas where there are signs that further limit the speed and highways where you can drive quickly), but traffic rules allow you to exceed the speed limit without a fine by another 19 kilometers per hour. The traffic police intends to cancel this relaxation for drivers, but cannot.
— The automobile minority is too active, and it is very difficult to resist it. Try to transfer the entire bureaucratic apparatus to buses in Moscow, will it work? - says Navoi about problems similar to Russian ones.
Russian analogue
At the beginning of 2018, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a plan to reduce mortality, called “Zero Deaths,” but it has nothing in common with the Swedish Vision Zero except the name. The main difference between the projects: the approach. The Swedes, like the Belarusians, abandoned the model in which the driver or pedestrian is considered to be at fault for an accident. They considered that people tend to make mistakes, and therefore it is necessary to eliminate the consequences of mistakes, that is, to make the environment so safe that even breaking the rules will not affect the life and health of a road user.
“In order to achieve the stated indicators for reducing mortality, it is necessary to change the behavior of road users, developing in them unconditional compliance with traffic norms and rules,” RBC described the program of the Russian authorities.
Literally, this means that the emphasis will be on educational and educational goals, and intolerance will be developed towards violators, which is contrary to the idea of Vision Zero. And as the study “Deprivation and Road Safety” showed, conducted at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (the university, among other things, is researching the effects of external factors on the health and safety of the population), the promotion of correct behavior on the roads is ineffective and only works in conjunction with more radical reforms.
Also, the approved program talks about reducing street crossings in favor of off-street crossings, which also only increases the likelihood of fatal accidents.
In general, this is not the first attempt Russian officials take seriously the high mortality rate in accidents. Navoi says that some heads of regional traffic police from Russia, as well as the now dismissed head of the main department, Viktor Nilov, came to Minsk to get a glimpse of the experience, but in the end no one adopted it.
According to Navoi, he personally gave Nilov a tour of the city, showed all the innovations with bumps, crossings and bicycle crossings, but he was not very impressed. The next day, Navoi prepared a presentation for his Russian colleague with statistics of fatal road accidents per 100 thousand people, which included both Belarus and Russia, as well as other CIS countries.
- How? How did you do it? - Navoy recalls Nilov’s reaction.
“So I showed you yesterday,” the Belarusian joked.
- Is it really that simple?
Navoi confirms that the reforms are indeed not as complex as they might seem, but they had to pay attention to detail for many years to achieve such low indicators. However, neither Navoi nor Vazhnik consider them low: their goal is zero deaths on the roads of Belarus.

PS GorProjects also has a telegram channel that came to life: City Projects
There are many questions for the Safe Roads of Belarus JSC, which places speed cameras on the country’s roads. Users asked about signs, distribution of money received for fines, regulations and record holders. We sent all questions to the Crime Reporting Center and have now received answers.
- How much does a speed camera cost?
From 25 to 30 thousand euros.
- Why so expensive? What is the most valuable?
The technology is not cheap. But the most perfect of what is available in the world today. In order to select cameras with optimal characteristics and most suitable for our climate, several models were purchased from different manufacturers. They were installed on a frame above Partizansky Avenue in Minsk and seriously tested.
If the owner of the car was deprived of his license (for repeated speeding), but at the time of the violation, which was recorded by photo-recording sensors, there was a driver with a valid license, what will happen? There is no desire to go to the traffic police and explain yourself, sign a protocol. And here’s another question: can they be punished for driving without a license in this case?
Based on photographic recording, only the owner (owner) of the vehicle is held liable.
A protocol is not drawn up, but a decision is made without the participation of the person. It comes into force on the date of its issuance and is binding. It should also be taken into account that when held accountable for photographic recording, the official is not obliged to prove the guilt of an individual in exceeding the speed recorded by the photographic recording system. This is provided for in various articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses and PIKoAP.
Taking into account the above, when bringing to justice based on the results of photo recording, the official does not need to find out whether the individual is guilty of committing speeding, recorded by the photo recording system, as well as other circumstances that must be clarified when considering a case of an administrative offense. For being deprived, they can only be punished if stopped by a traffic police officer. But that's just for now.
Where do funds transferred for fines go? What percentage of the fine goes to the budget? And in general, how is the money divided?
The Center for Photographic Recording of Offenses is not the recipient of payments for photographic recording and does not exercise control over the crediting of funds to the current account. Payments made for photographic fines are subject to credit to the republican budget. The recipient of such payments is the main department of the Ministry of Finance for the Minsk region. The function of distributing funds credited to the republican budget, as well as control over their distribution, does not fall within the competence of the State Traffic Inspectorate and the Safe Roads of Belarus JSC. These powers are vested in government agencies, including tax authorities.
- What kind of structure is this - SJSC "Safe Roads of Belarus"? Does she have the right to make decisions?
SZAO employees do not issue decisions. This is done by specialists from the Ministry of Internal Affairs department on the basis of the powers delegated to them by law. Only official sources can provide information about appealing decisions.
- Is a warning sign required?
The information board “Mode Control” with the inscription “Radar Fotacantrol” is not regulated by regulatory documents, including traffic rules and STB.
At the same time, on the initiative of the owner of the photo-recording systems - SJSC "Safe Roads of Belarus", which installs, technically supports the equipment and monitors its operation in accordance with the investment project for the introduction and operation of a unified system for photo-recording of speed violations on the territory of Belarus, a unified system for photo-recording of speed violations was developed and agreed upon from the State Traffic Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs information board “Traffic mode control”.
This sign is for informational purposes only and does not introduce or cancel any restrictions on the traffic regime. For the above reasons, the lack of permanent or temporary road sign“Control of the traffic mode” in front of the installation site of the speed control sensor is not a basis for exemption from administrative liability for violating the speed limit.
- How long does it take for the fine to arrive?
According to the law, penalties can be imposed within two months from the date of commission of the offense. The resolution, depending on a number of circumstances, may be sent the day after the offense, or maybe 40-50 days later. But no later than the period specified by law (two months).
- Who is the record holder for the number of fines for 2014?
Personal data is not subject to disclosure.
- What elevation are the cameras set to?
The cameras monitor the upper permissible speed limit set on a specific section of the road in accordance with the traffic regulations and the traffic management project.
There is a speed camera on the Moscow Ring Road. What mode was it set to when work was carried out there and the limit was set at 50 and 70 km/h?
The speed limit set by temporary road signs is not controlled by the systems.
- What technologies are used for vehicle/license plate recognition?
AND automatic system, and manual processing.
- I was photographed by a camera, the numbers are not visible, the frames are with curtains. Can I be identified?
Yes. There are methods to do this.
- How to fool the camera?
Surprise her - don't speed. Drive according to the rules, take care of yourself and your loved ones.
Is it legal to install a radar with a photo flash that records the front license plate? One night I was so blinded. The first thought was that an oncoming car was jumping out at you.
Participation in road traffic is always associated with danger and surprises, for which the driver must be prepared. Rhetorical question: what if lightning, a thunderstorm, the headlights of an oncoming car, an animal or a person runs out onto the roadway? Learn the traffic rules, read the signs, obey the speed limit, and there will be no outbreak.
- Do the sensors detect overspeeding on motorcycles?
The speed camera took a photo, but I was sure that I had already passed the “End” sign settlement" There is no particular desire to go to the Brest region from Gomel to check. But if I find the place where I was photographed, and it turns out to be outside the populated area, then what should I do?
If a decision is made, and the owner of the vehicle does not agree with it, it is necessary to submit a written statement to the traffic police at the place of residence.
- Why do you need to bring a receipt to the traffic police? Why these extra movements?
You must read the resolution carefully: you do not need to bring the receipt to the traffic police. On the reverse side of each resolution is information about how to pay the fine. In case of payment using the Settlement system (ERIP), information about payments is entered into the database of offenses via electronic communication channels and is attached to the resolution number.
However, there is a need to send receipts to the Photo Recording Center in case of payment of fines for photo recording through post offices, since RUE "Belpochta" is not connected to ERIP. In this case, repayment of the debt is carried out by employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on the basis of receipts, which must be sent to the address: Minsk, st. Krasnoarmeyskaya, 21. If the receipt is not sent in a timely manner, as stated earlier, the collection of the fine will be carried out by a bailiff, who must be provided with the original receipt. If you throw away the receipt, you will have to prove payment. You can restore the receipt through the post office, the register of the Ministry of Finance or the tax office at your place of residence.
- Do I have to go to the post office for a “chain letter” if I don’t need it?
Not necessary. Delivery of a postal item is a “headache” for the postman; receiving a postal item is a citizen’s right, and not an obligation established by law.
The letters that came to me took a month and a half to arrive. Where have they been all this time? I live at my place of registration, in Minsk, violations occur at the entrance to Minsk...
The period for imposing a penalty according to the law is two months from the date of commission of the offense. Delivery of registered items by postal employees is carried out within one month. Hence the timing...
You don't have to wait. For users of Internet services, the official website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the “Photo recording” section contains information about unpaid fines for photo recording. After payment, when updating information, information about offenses for which penalties have been collected is removed from the site.
I received a “letter of happiness”. Photo of the front of the car with my face. Is this legal? How does this relate to current legislation regarding privacy, etc.
Legal. Personal life and participation in road traffic are different concepts. Citizens in the car are equally visible to other road users and photo recording systems. In addition, the resolution is sent by registered mail and provides for its receipt in person by the person held accountable. Information about offenders is not provided to third parties.
- A car with transit license plates. Was recorded by a speed camera. Will the former owner receive a fine?
No, he won't come.
- Do the cameras record only speeding or other traffic violations too?
Just speed for now.
- Does the camera take into account the “70” sticker?
Yes. If your vehicle is equipped with a reduced color image of a 70 km/h “Maximum Speed Limit” road sign, please note the following: the installation of this sign on the vehicle is an official requirement to limit its maximum speed. In accordance with subclause 91.3 of clause 91 of the Traffic Regulations, the driver is prohibited from exceeding the speed indicated on the “Speed Limit” identification sign installed on the vehicle. This requirement applies to all drivers driving a vehicle with identification mark“Speed limit”, regardless of driving experience.
What speed are the cameras set to if, for example, the speed limit on a section of road is 60, 70, 90, 120 km/h?
Such speed limits cannot be established on one section of the road at the same time. If we mean one road, but different sections of it, then you should know that the organization of traffic, taking into account characteristic features section of the road (tortuosity, visibility, accident rate, etc.), and, accordingly, the established speed limits may be different.
Why is the database of camera violations only for informational purposes and not always updated correctly and in a timely manner?
There is no database of violations for cameras. There are various databases of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The information stored in them is proprietary and is not provided to third parties.

Arena speed meters do not apply to technical means, operating in automatic mode. Such meters may be used by traffic police inspectors who serve on the roads.
- When will cameras finally completely replace the “men with hairdryers” in the bushes?
It is impossible to replace traffic police officers with photo recording systems. Inspectors supervise traffic not only in terms of compliance with the speed limit, they also have a number of other powers and responsibilities to control the movement of pedestrians and vehicles.
