30% of Muscovites who decided to contact the department, on the contrary, suggest increasing the speed limit. The residents of the city proposed to increase the speed limit on the Aminevskoye, Volokolamskoye, Dmitrovskoye and Kievskoye highways, General Dorokhov Avenue and the North-West Expressway.

Earlier, the Center for Traffic Management (TsODD) announced a collection of proposals to change the speed limits on the roads of the capital. The townspeople were offered to write the names of the streets and their ideas in the bot of the Deptrans, in order to subsequently consider each initiative together with the specialists of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, the MADI institute and employees of the TsODD. According to the center, violation of the speed limit is the cause of more than a quarter of all fatal accidents. In 2020, 140 people died for this reason.
