From Crimea they signal about torment and dangers on the land corridor for motorists
On the eve of the first large-scale arrival of tourists during the May holidays, the head of Crimea Sergei Aksenov promised that they you won’t have to wait more than 1 hour in line for inspection at the Crimean Bridge, and the land route, thanks to the repaired road, makes it convenient to travel from the Rostov region.
However, to quickly pass control Only auto tourists with a small amount of luggage that can be passed through an introscope can count on it, and the route from the Rostov region to Dzhankoy is not so safe, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
Passengers those with a large amount of luggage, as well as those who are unable to carry it to the security checkpoint, will have to wait in line at the scanner. There is only one at the entrance to Crimea, and it is capable of passing up to 20 cars per hour. At the same time, passenger buses have the right to undergo inspection out of turn. There will be no additional scanners due to the fact that, as informed persons say, the Krasnodar Territory does not see the need to install another radiation source in Taman. Unofficially, everyone understands that from the hours-long queue, autotourists will go to the coast of the Krasnodar Territory, so that after the same 4-5 hours you can already sit near the sea, leaving your things at the hotel.
The road from the Rostov region to the Crimea has indeed been repaired, provided with gas stations and stable mobile communications. But since the time of the checkpoints there have been concrete structures that, for some reason, are not removed, which the ex-Minister of Transport of Crimea, and now the head of the Freight Carriers Association, Anatoly Tsurkin writes about literally every month in his Telegram channel.
“We are talking about unequipped, unlit sections of the route, where various concrete structures scattered. From time to time, military police officers are present at these sites, who sometimes check passports; at night, all these posts are empty.
It is almost impossible to see such a concrete block at night, and if there is fog. Cars crash, people suffer, accident rates increase“, notes the ex-minister, and as evidence he cites a photo of another car that “stumbled” over a concrete block.
“Ahead of the May weekend, a large number of tourists will travel this route. Suspected victims cannot be avoided. I would like to appeal to those responsible for this mess - remove or install lighting, noise strips and other safety measures to reduce the accident rate,” Tsurkin said.
When approaching Crimea, another obstacle course awaits motorists - driving in the oncoming lane to bypass a convoy of trucks waiting in line for inspection at the Chongar checkpoint. Senator from the Zaporozhye region Dmitry Rogozin pointed this out in his address to the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation. And, at the same time, on the arrangement of the checkpoints themselves, which are clearly not aimed at motorists and have long waiting times. But in response, the Ministry of Transport reported that the maximum waiting time for inspection is 1,5 hours, and all tasks for modernizing the checkpoint have been completed, and the throughput has been increased by 2,5 times.
“You don’t have to argue with me, you just have to do it. If you don’t believe me, we’ll take a video of traffic jams, and like at the Dzhankoy checkpoint, passenger vehicles have to go around trucks on the side of the road in oncoming traffic.. When I return to the region, I will personally film everything and post it here. The accumulation of equipment in such places not only creates inconvenience for people, but is also simply unsafe,” Rogozin emphasized.
Previously, the head of Crimea proposed sealing trucks in Rostov so that they could enter the republic without inspection.
