M4 indicating kilometers per year. M4 Don - traffic jams are now on the online map. Well, how do you like the beginning of the M4-Don highway in the Rostov region?

The M-4 Don highway is the result of the work of the GIPRODORNII Institute, which is engaged in scientific design research in the field of road construction. The construction of the road was carried out in the second half of the last century (from 1959 to 1966).

The route was classified as a road of the 3rd technical category, with parameters of 7 m wide and two lanes. Initially, the M-4 Don highway was not designed for heavy traffic.

Starting from the 80s, the need arose to create an additional section of the road in the Moscow region (Domodedovo area), and therefore a section of 18.4 km was built. On the eve of the new millennium, the expansion of the route continued. In just one year (from 1999 to 2000), the M-4 Don became 135 km longer (including due to regional highways in Moscow and Tula), and the number of lanes increased to four to eight.

Important! As a result, today the route smoothly turns into Lipetskaya Street in Moscow. Such transformations of the M-4 Don made it possible to reduce the traffic load on the Kashirskoye Highway section of the road, which is now used mostly as a bypass route for cars from other regions of the country.

The route was also distinguished by the fact that one of its bypass sections in the Lipetsk region (near the village of Khlevnoe), built back in 1998, subsequently became the first in the country to charge a toll for travel along it.

And although the length of this road was only 20 km, it became the first on the list of toll roads in Russia.

Since the 2000s, large-scale construction aimed at developing the highway, creating roadways separated from each other, as well as intersections with other routes through the construction of multi-level highways, has continued to gain momentum. The night lighting system is being actively put into operation. From 2009 to 2011, several bypass roads were built (the cities of Bogoroditsk, Efremov, Yelets, etc.), which made it possible to move heavy traffic outside.

After control of the road passed to the state-owned company in 2010, it, together with partners (association of carriers, media) initiated a check of the condition of the route and the level of service on the road. As a result, it was found that half of the infrastructure did not meet the comfort requirements, and a third did not meet the legal standards. The history of the introduction of toll sections on the M-4 Don highway.

Reference! October 1999 - A Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation is issued regarding the establishment of the first toll section of the M-4 Don highway. The road surface itself and the infrastructure facilities around it were repaired: the road became wider and smoother, it was fully equipped with a lighting system at night; rest areas and express lanes began to comply with the provisions of the law.

A multi-level traffic interchange, which allows you to change to additional branches of the main road, was built at 461 km. A section of the bypass road between the settlements of Zadonsk and the village. Khlevnoye (from 417 to 464 km), which increased the total length of the route, became a toll road at the end of 2010.

In the spring of 2013, a general Toll Point (TCP) appeared. They installed it at 71 km of the route for a section of 20 km (from 51 to 71 km). Subsequently, this segment became 52 km longer.

In 2013, sections of the road from 225 to 260 km gradually became tolled; from 330.8 to 414.7 km and from 287 to 321 km - a bypass route is being created around the city of Efremov.

2015 – new sections of the highway appear, for which drivers must pay. After a major overhaul of the bypass road around Voronezh, the section from 492 to 517 km became tolled. In the same year, all car owners began to pay for travel along the section of the route from 544 to 633 km.

2016 brought new changes. Now it was impossible to drive for free along 93-211 km of the Moscow-Tula road, and another 571-544 km in the Voronezh region (a bypass section of the highway was built here around the villages of Novaya Usman and Rogachevka).
IN Rostov region tolls on the M-4 Don highway (from 1091 to 1119 km) were introduced at the end of 2017.

Attention! All toll sections of the route are equipped with special systems for collecting money for travel: open or mixed type. The vast majority of areas use an open system, which means that the driver pays once when passing through the toll point.

He no longer pays (regardless of the time frame) if he only moves without leaving the boundaries of the paid zone. And only on the Lipetsk section of the road (414-464 km) a different payment system is used: here drivers pay for travel when crossing the toll point, but the validity of the payment is limited to 12 hours. If the car stays within the boundaries of the toll zone for longer, then the fee is paid again when leaving the territory. The length of stay in a paid area is determined on the basis of a check issued to the driver upon entry.

For the convenience and safety of traffic, all toll sections are equipped with landline telephone facilities, with the help of which, in the event of an emergency, emergency situation, you can contact emergency services.

On toll roads there is no traffic light system or adjacent side roads, and oncoming traffic flows are separated from each other. This allows drivers to reach speeds of up to 130 km/h.

They are equipped with toll roads and an automatic control system, the functioning of which is ensured by the work of various technical equipment. means - video cameras, weather stations, etc. This allows you to quickly receive information about the situation on the road depending on the weather, lighting, and emergency situations.

Reference! The collected data makes it possible to quickly make decisions to eliminate any problems on the highway, with the involvement of the appropriate assistance services. Information important for ensuring normal traffic flow is posted for drivers on the road special. scoreboard

The establishment of tolls is under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Russian Federation, which acts on the basis of Article 36 of the Federal Law of November 8, 2007 N257-FZ.

Detour toll road

You can bypass toll sections of the M4 Don highway if you really want to - this will save a certain amount of cash in your pocket, but will significantly increase the time spent behind the wheel. Submitted interactive map allows you to view in detail alternative roads and the settlements through which they pass; to do this, simply click on the “plus” and “minus” on the left.

Map of all toll areas and their detours

The presented "paper" version has a high resolution when enlarged and more relevant information.

Even if you don't mind the current cost of toll roads, detours can still come in handy. The fact is that in the summer, due to the ongoing repair of roads and their periodic narrowing, in some places there are traffic jams on the M4, stretching for tens of kilometers. In this case, there are 3 options:

1. Stand in a traffic jam for several hours and breathe exhaust fumes.
2. Trying to avoid traffic on the side of the road or driving into a ditch in a neighboring field.
3. Turn off in advance and calmly drive along secondary roads.

Video

Two short videos about the M4 highway, telling about the organization of safety and the nuances of the speed limit, as well as the principle of operation of payment points with clear examples of payment in cash, a smart card and using a transponder.

Even those citizens who have never traveled outside of Russia have heard that abroad you have to fork out money for travel on roads, as well as for using bridges and tunnels. Now, in our modernized Russia, efficient businessmen have begun to charge money for road travel. A striking example of this is the M4 (“Don”) highway. Paid sections appeared on it in 1998. Now there are over 530 km of them on this road, and in the near future there will be almost twice as many. In addition to payment, how do these sites differ from alternative free ones? Is there any benefit to using them? How can drivers who do not want to shell out their hard-earned money get to their destination without paying anything? Let's figure it out.

Historical reference

The route, which is now causing so much controversy, leads from Moscow to Novorossiysk through such big cities, like Krasnodar. Its length is 1543.7 km. Part of this route from Moscow to Rostov-on-Don was once called Route No. 5 and was built in the late sixties of the last century. During this period, the road was two-lane, with a width of only 7 meters. During the years of perestroika, the construction of its backup began, on which traffic lights were not installed, that is, they tried to make it a high-speed one. In 1990, 18.4 km were put into operation, including two sections in the Domodedovo area. Until 2000, the development of the M4 highway actively continued, as a result of which the road became 500 km longer and stretched to Dzhugba, plus it included a piece of the Sukhumi highway to Novorossiysk, and 135 km of backup sections with up to 8 lanes appeared. They were built in the Moscow and Tula regions using funds from the state budget. At that time, no money was charged for traveling on the M4.

Paid sections

As a result of construction and road manipulations, the M4 highway has significantly increased its capacity and become more convenient. Paid sections began to appear on it in 1998. The first was only 20 km long and went around the village of Khlevnoe. This part of the road was opened with pathos, as it became the first toll road in all of Russia. reconstruction with the construction of bypass sections was carried out with enviable activity. The result was two toll sections at once:

1. At 225.6-260 kilometers (35 km detour of the city of Bogoroditsk). Now from the Moscow Ring Road to it, almost the entire section of the highway is tolled (with the exception of a small piece 14 km long from the intersection of the M4 with the road to Uzlovaya to the intersection with the road to the village of Chernaya Gryaz).

2. At 287.8-321.3 kilometers (34 km long detour to the town of Efremov).

Now drivers of cars pay here from 35 rubles, depending on the time of day and class of car, and drivers of trucks - from 240 rubles.

Avtodor innovations

In 2010, the Avtodor company became the manager of the Don highway, which has a very positive attitude towards tolls for drivers.

The company's specialists first analyzed the condition of the road and began repairing it, simultaneously building new bypass routes. The result is a higher quality, but also more M4. Toll sections have appeared on the following kilometers since 2010:

330.8-414.7 (bypass the village of Yarkino and the city of Yelets).

416.9-464 (bypass of Zadonsk).

Several toll sections with a total length of 141 km were built to bypass the glorious city of Voronezh. They start at 492 km and end at 633 km, going around Voronezh, Novaya Usman and Rogachevka. The free inserts here are very short, so the three payment points are installed almost one after the other.

paid areas (2016)

The Avtodor company is going to continue to shorten sections of the route on the Don highway that can be ridden for nothing. Thus, in 2016, two new sections with a total length of 190 km became toll roads. The first one starts at 21 km (just outside the Moscow Ring Road) and lasts 72 km. The second one starts from this road marker and lasts another 118 km. You have to pay for crossing the barrier twice, the first time - from 50 to 140 rubles, the second time - from 80 to 450 rubles. In total, Avtodor plans to make 892 km toll roads by 2020. Now their length is 531 km. Some drivers are interested in what Avtodor employees will do if they drive up to a toll booth and say that money was accidentally forgotten at home. The answer will not please - such drivers will be forced to go back, but no one will raise the treasured barrier for them.

How many toll sections are there on the M4 (Don) highway?

2 in Moskovskaya;

2 in Tula;

2 in Lipetsk;

3 in Voronezhskaya.

In addition, 5 paid exits to the highway are open in the Lipetsk region.

In general, you will now have to pay for travel from Moscow to Rostov-on-Don for a passenger car from 510 rubles, and for trucks - from 2660 rubles one way, but it is quite possible that prices will change.

Road quality

Along with the question of how many toll sections are on the M4 highway, drivers are also interested in the question of what they have to pay for. From the Moscow Ring Road to the exit to the village of Vidnoye there are 8 lanes on the road. Further, to Saratov - 6 lanes, and after - 4 lanes. According to drivers, the quality of the road surface is good, but the speed limit on toll sections is no more than 110 km/h. There are unequipped toilets, gas stations, and cafes along the route. In addition, there are points where you can call a tow truck, a gas station or a repair team. The downside of toll roads (besides the price) is the queues at payment points, and the transponder does not always help, since there is no perfect system for its use yet.

The free road has mostly 4-5 lanes (3 or 2 in one direction, 2 in the other), in some sections there are only 2 (one each to the south and to the north). The quality of the road surface along its entire length is satisfactory, because road services are also involved in repair work here. Along the road, as on the toll M4, there are cafes, gas stations, and unequipped toilets. You can drive along this highway at a speed of 90 km/h. Large trucks, of which there are plenty here, create inconvenience. On average, the time lost when driving around a toll road is about half an hour.

How to get from MKAD to Kashira

Let us remind you that the M4 highway originates from the point where the Moscow Ring Road intersects with Lipetskaya Street. Toll sections are open from the 21st km, but so far Avtodor has blocked the road with barriers and installed the first toll point only at the 62nd km. Therefore, from the Moscow Ring Road to the intersection with A107 (this is the 51st km of the M4 highway) you can travel for nothing. Also, exits in the direction of Vidnoye (on the 22nd and 24th kilometers), exits in the direction of Domodedovo (this is on the 31st, then on the 34th and 46th kilometers) and the exit on the A107 are not yet paid. For those who travel further, from the Moscow Ring Road you can travel for free along the Kashirskoye Highway to the settlement of Sitne-Shchelkanovo. Next, at a fork, the road will go towards Stupino. Here, at the intersection in front of the railway, you need to turn onto Pobeda Avenue, follow it back to Kashirskoye Highway and follow to your final destination. The disadvantage of this route is that the Kashirskoye Highway is quite heavily loaded and, as a result, there are frequent traffic jams. This road is currently being reconstructed, so if it is left free, it will be a good option.

How to get around the toll M4, heading to Bogoroditsk and Efremov

There are several options for bypassing toll sections on the M4 highway. So, if you are traveling to Bogoroditsk and beyond, you can use the driving directions indicated above. This means you need to drive along the Kashirskoe highway to Stupino, then turn onto Pobedy Avenue, return without stopping at Kashira, follow to the fork in front of the village of Zendikovo, turn there onto the Voronezhskoe highway, or continue along Kashirskoye to the P22 highway, which leads further and further from the M4 . In the Venev area this distance is approximately 30 km. To get to Bogoroditsk by this route, you will have to wind your way along country roads, the quality of which is far from satisfactory, and in addition, you will have to “wind up” extra kilometers.

Some drivers advise driving to Bogoroditsk and nearby settlements for free along the Simferopol highway (M2). The condition of the road surface here is excellent, the speed can be reached up to 90 km/h. After Tula you need to turn onto the road leading to Bolokhovo and follow it to Black Mud. There will be an exit to the free section of the M4. The difference will be several kilometers. Those who need to go to Efremov can, following the same M2, pass Tula, Shchekino without stopping and turn right at the intersection in the village of Lukino. From there, an almost straight road will lead to Efremov.

How to get around the M4 heading to Voronezh

The shortest distance from the capital to Voronezh is 516 km. On this long journey it is difficult to avoid every toll road section. The M4 highway from the Moscow Ring Road to Voronezh runs past Bogoroditsk and Efremov. Above we described how you can get to these settlements for free. Despite some differences in mileage, many drivers choose the Simferopol Highway, which is quite pleasant to travel along. The number of lanes on this section varies between 2 and 4, the road surface is in good condition, and there are many gas stations and cafes along the route. Follow it further to the village. Lukino is unwise, since to return to the M4 you will have to make a significant detour. If you follow this route to the 321st km (the end of the Efremov bypass road, the difference in mileage will be only about 7 km (approximately 307 km along the M2 and about 300 km along the M4). Then you can drive 9 km along the free section of the Don highway "When we reached the exit toll road, do not turn onto it, but continue moving along the railway. along the path, pass Yarkino, cross the Sukhoi Kolodets stream, railway. path, go around Yelets along its outskirts, the Bystraya Sosna River, get closer to the M4 again, drive through Zadonsk, Khlevnoe, the free section of the M4 and, without entering the paid section, turn onto the road to Voronezh. Difference in mileage this route very small, but the road surface is much worse than on the toll highway. The second inconvenience is traffic jams in Zadonsk and loss of time traveling through Khlevnoye and Voronezh.

How to get around the M4 heading to Rostov

The bypass of toll sections on the M4 (Don) highway ends in the Voronezh region, at the 633rd kilometer. Further south you can go calmly. A new section of the toll highway bypassing the city of Pavlovsk is currently being designed, but it is not there yet. To get onto the free M4 from Voronezh, you need to pass 3 more toll sections. Two of them - through Novaya Usman and Rogachevka - can be passed without difficulty. As a result, the last 89 km remain. It will not be possible to get around them with minor losses. If you turn left onto P298 after Rogachevka, you will have to make a big detour. There are no convenient right turns here. Therefore, the detour must begin from Voronezh. There are two options here - left along highway 193 or right in the direction of the village of Liski. Both of these options are inconvenient due to a lot of extra mileage and poor quality roads.
