St. Petersburg and its surroundings are one of the most popular destinations for car travel. Particularly popular trips to Peter on the car from the central part of Russia, in particular, many travelers from one capital to another-from Moscow to St. Petersburg. How do we get from Moscow to Peter in the car with minimal losses and maximum comfort?
The main route connecting Moscow and St. Petersburg is Russia's federal highway M10. At the same time, it is building a new modern highway M11 Moscow-St. Petersburg, but it will be finally put into operation until 2018.
The distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg is about 700 km, depending on the time of day, traffic density and other related factors can be done within 8 to 12 hours.
Many travelers travelling from Moscow to Peter on the car leave at night (at 2-3 a.m.) not to stand in traffic and arrive in Petersburg in the morning. The cars on the Moscow-Peter highway are actually much smaller than the daytime and the populated areas of the Vyshnoi Vishka type can go much faster without traffic jams.
The state of road surface on M10 leaves much to be desired, especially in the Tver and Novgorod regions. If you've never driven to Peter on a car and drive on this track for the first time, don't get ahead of yourself, because pits and potholines sometimes occur on the road in the most unexpected places. You should be especially careful when you go to the dark time of day!
Please pay attention to the way the trucks are driving: they often travel on this road, so they know better about all the ambushes and pits on the road. If the Fur suddenly slowed down, take your time to overtake it, maybe ahead of the camera, or just a big one.
The road from Moscow to St. Petersburg is mainly trilane, the middle lane alternately recused one side and the other side. The signs and markings should be carefully monitored to ensure that after the overtaking of the next truck it is not possible to get on the met.
A large part of the route is laid through small towns-villages and villages-almost every one of them has a video recording system, so ignore signs limiting speed. In addition, there are many "ambushes" of the HYDRA with radar. If you have a radar detector, take it with you, it will save you from the unexpected costs of fines.
As you go to the car in Peter, you can already estimate the first section of the future paid road M11 "Moscow-St. Petersburg": this Bypass Vauchka, which will be free till mid-2015. At the same time, the passage through the Vyshchny Street turns into a lottery: you can skip it without stopping, and you can lose in traffic for 2-3 hours.
