How much does m4 cost? Traffic jams and toll sections on the M4 Don highway

A new toll road will appear in Russia. It will be a section of the M-4 Don federal highway from the Moscow Ring Road (21st km) to the 93rd kilometer. The payment regime will be introduced on January 18, 2016. This is stated in the official statement of the State Company "Avtodor".

As follows from the appendix to the document, the cost of travel through the toll section will vary depending on the vehicle and time of day. For example, travel during the daytime (from 07:00 to 00:00) will cost the owner passenger car 100 rubles, a van or pickup truck driver - 150 rubles, a truck or bus driver - 200 rubles, and drivers of heavy trucks will pay the most - 400 rubles.

Driving along a section of the highway at night will be twice as cheap. In addition, you can save money by using a special device - a transponder. True, there is a nuance here. Let's say, at first, a car driver using this payment method will pay 40 rubles during the day instead of 100. However, from July 1, 2016, the amount will double and amount to 80 rubles.

However, it is worth making a reservation here: the above tariffs apply if you use the payment point located at the 71st km of the highway. But it will not be the only one - there will also be a toll point at the exit at the 62nd km of the highway, travel through which will be somewhat cheaper. Motorists will also have the opportunity to travel for free. To do this, when driving from the Moscow Ring Road, you need to take the exits from M-4 at the 24th, 31st, 34th, 46th, 50th and 57th kilometers. When moving from the 93rd km towards Moscow, those who leave the M-4 through the junctions at the 89th, 81st, 74th and 72nd kilometers will not have to pay for travel.

We would like to add that the toll on the M-4 Don highway from 21 to 93 km is being introduced in accordance with the Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 14, 2014.

M4 Don highway: toll sections and useful tips

The main road “artery” connecting the central part of Russia with southern regions– highway M4 “Don”. It originates in the capital of the country and ends in Novorossiysk. Total length road surface is about 1540 km. The road passes through the following regions of Russia: Moscow, Tula, Voronezh, Lipetsk, Rostov regions, Krasnodar Territory and the Republic of Adygea. A map of the route can be found at website RuDorogi.ru.

Toll sections of M4 "Don"

Demand for the route M4 "Don"(especially in summer period) prompted the authorities to organize increased control over this facility, as well as to build and launch toll sections in order to prevent the formation of hours-long congestion. The unsatisfactory condition of the roadway with a load of hundreds of thousands of cars per day is simply unacceptable. A minor accident or protracted repairs lead to an endless accumulation of cars, especially near settlements.

Nine toll sections have currently been put into operation on the M4 highway:

In addition to traveling at night, a driver can save a significant amount of personal savings by purchasing a transponder. At all payment points there is one lane for cars equipped with this device. In addition to non-stop travel at checkpoints, drivers receive a discount of 20 to 50%.

Useful tips

There are, one might say, three important pillars for motorists going on a long journey in their own transport - where to refuel the car, “refuel” yourself (have lunch) and get medical help if necessary.

Car gas stations are located on both sides of the road along the entire length of the route. Oil companies Gazprom, Lukoil, TNK, Rosneft, Gazpromneft and Bashneft provide their services to drivers around the clock. At the gas station you can not only replenish your fuel supplies, but also purchase soft drinks and food for the trip, as well as rest and go to the toilet.

IN major cities, through which it runs M4 highway"Don", there are many 24-hour pharmacies located near the road. Also in cities adjacent to the highway, you can use medical care. To do this, you just need to go to a clinic or hospital. The main thing is not to forget to take a medical insurance policy when traveling. If something urgent happens, call 112. If the incident happened on the highway, be sure to indicate the kilometer of the highway. It is marked on small blue signs along the road.

If you are going to cover such a long distance in a personal car on your own, and you do not have a replacement driver, you need to take care of a comfortable and safe overnight stay. It is best to stop for the night, covering about 2/3 of the journey - this way you can arrive at your destination rested and well-slept, because on the spot you will still need to solve various organizational issues.

Stay overnight only in roadside hotels specially designed for this purpose, and under no circumstances in a car in a deserted place. Such attempts to save money can be costly for the driver - unlucky travelers are often attacked for the purpose of robbery. It’s easy to choose a hotel, motel, hostel or inn - just read the reviews on the Internet.

Another important point. During the summer swimming and sea season (July-September) it will not be so easy to find a free room on the M4 Don highway. It is better to take care of this in advance and book an overnight stay.

Possible difficulties

On the road, you need to stock up on specialized cleaning concentrate or just powder and water. All this will come in handy when you drive about 400-500 km and stop and look at your car. After 5-6 hours of travel, a huge number of insects will turn your car into a testing ground, where their own bodies will be the projectiles.

If such stains are completely dry, it will be much more difficult to remove them. It’s easier to quickly wipe down your car with foam concentrate a couple of times during the entire route and at the same time take a break from a sitting position by stretching your “bones.”

Ways to avoid traffic jams at Platov airport and Rostov from Probka-online.rf:

1. Moving through Aksai or Tsukerovaya Balka - this way you can reduce the time you spend in a traffic jam, but it will take time to get to these exit points, and the winning distance is small.
2. Another option when traveling to Crimea. Again Aksai, Leninavan, the road to Azov and Kerch. But this path can lead to traffic jams at the entrance to Rostov from Taganrog or in the city itself, when driving during rush hours.
3. There is another way through Novocherkassk, we move towards Bolshoi Log and to Aksai and enter the highway after the traffic jam.
4. At the turn to Novoshakhtinsk, we leave the highway, enter the city, move through Krasny, Radionovo - Nesvetai and go out onto the northern bypass of Rostov. The road is good, we meet small areas with a bad road, but without holes and big bumps. We move towards Shchepkin village, following the signs to Moscow. The road here is new and quite wide.
