MOSCOW FINES SPELL T-ROUBLE AHEAD
Muscovites are facing a tenfold increase in parking fees around their city, as Moscow’s authorities attempt to clear up its clogged roads and pavements. The Russian capital has in recent years become notorious for its parking problems, exacerbated by an anarchic approach by its drivers, with many pavements unusable because so many cars are parked on them.
New rules introduced this month have increased the standard fi ne from 300 roubles
50 AUGUST 2012
(about £7) to 3,000 roubles (about £70) as part of a campaign to improve the image of the city to outsiders. However, business people and residents have questioned whether the increased fi nes will be enforceable – particularly because of a shortage of car parking spaces.
Some residents have also suggested that the only people to benefi t will be police offi cers – it has long been common practice for Russians to bribe their way out of paying parking fi nes.
