The development of the photo and video recording system in St. Petersburg has led to a decrease in road accidents. The number of accidents on the streets of St. Petersburg in 2023 decreased by 3.3% compared to the previous similar period, according to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the city.

for the third year now georgia whatsapp number database and is associated, among other things, with the expansion of the photo and video recording system: in 2023, the number of cameras on the city's roads increased by almost 40%.

The photo and video recording system (PVS) in St. Petersburg has been developing since 2021. Software and hardware systems have been installed on roads in all areas of the city, including the A-118 Ring Road and the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter (WHSD). In total, more than 1,350 PVS systems are operating in St. Petersburg at the beginning of 2024, which operate in the most accident-prone areas. They are determined by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.

According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, road cameras record up to 90% of violations included in the department's official statistics. Therefore, data from the FVF systems can quite reliably reflect the safety situation. According to the results of 2023, the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate in St. Petersburg noted a decrease in the number of accidents by 3.3% compared to the same indicator in 2022.

In total, in 2023, the FVF complexes recorded more than 10 million violations. Of the total number of violations, 91% were speeding. During the same period in 2022, about 9 million traffic violations were recorded.

Even with the increase in the total number of recorded violations, the results of 2023 confirm the trend towards a decrease in accidents that began in 2021: the number of accidents then decreased by 4.2%, and in 2022 - by 16.5%. The trend is associated, among other things, with the launch of the first street cameras. In 2023, more than 390 complexes were installed in St. Petersburg, expanding the city's FVF system by almost 40%. Thus, cameras appeared at 78 intersections, including the completion of installation of complexes for recording traffic violations at seven intersections on the city's main artery - Nevsky Prospekt.

In addition, in 2023, work was carried out in St. Petersburg to modernize the existing photo and video recording system. For example, 18 complexes on the Western High-Speed ​​Diameter were integrated with special software "Web", which, by working with the databases of the "Gosuslugi" portal, the federal treasury bodies and "Russian Post", accumulates information on the movement of all vehicles. SPO is used to search for stolen cars, as well as cars that have fled the scene of an accident.

"Automation of the process of recording traffic violations is a very eloquent example of how digital tools make citizens' lives safer and better. Technologies make it possible to ensure the inevitability of punishment for the offender, which is the best propaganda for safe driving. According to the statistics of road accidents in St. Petersburg, we see that the number of accidents is constantly decreasing against the background of the expansion of the photo and video recording system. This also affects the overall decrease in the number of victims on the roads. Thus, in 2023, the number of fatalities in road accidents decreased by 6.4%, and the number of victims - by 11%. In 2024, we will continue our policy and plan to install about 100 new FVF systems," comments Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Stanislav Kazarin.
