The state corporation "Avtodor" announced on the evening of February 5 the cancellation of the two-hour rule for short routes on the M-11 "Neva" highway between Solnechnogorsk and St. Petersburg.
According to this rule, motorists who spend more than two hours traveling a route of less than 50 kilometers were required to pay the maximum fare. The rule was introduced to combat fraudsters who evaded paying for travel. It negatively affected bona fide drivers: they could be delayed, for example, at gas stations.
The abolition of the "penalty tariff" will come into force on February 17, 2025.
