The most problematic Russian megalopolis from this point of view, Moscow – has already turned to one of the famous “leaders” in this indicator as average time, the location of the townspeople in traffic jams. The metropolis Moscow, like some other Russian megalopolises, have overflifier development, and does not have free land in order to bring the indicator of wealth to the tolerant value. As a result, the development of the transport infrastructure of the main Russian metropolis on inertial development is doomed to failure. This can also be said about other large Russian megacities.
Approved in 2005, the tactics of transport development in our state at the time of 2030 pays relatively little attention to the formation of urban transport infrastructure and urban transport, leaving this issue at the discretion of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, state authorities and city municipalities.
Also, in some cases, direct intervention of the federal center in order to resolve the most acute issues related to transport accessibility in megacities and other Russian cities, the sanctions of legal conflicts that impede the formation of urban transport infrastructure. First of all, this is right for Moscow and St. Petersburg. These cities are surrounded by territories of other constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The motor transport collapse on the Leningrad highway, which occurred in July 2010 due to confusing relations between property and inconsistency of the actions of Moscow and the Moscow region, visually demonstrated this.
The widespread introduction of the latest technologies of urban transport in civilized and largest developing states, namely the transition to new types of social and individual urban transport, which can happen in the near future, will again lead to a greater lag of Russian megacities in this area and further reduction in their global competitiveness. It should be noted that the introduction of the latest technologies in the field of transport must be prepared in advance. For example, the most advanced of the currently existing electric vehicles are used when charging batteries of 34a voltage. Ordinary home electric network is not designed for such loads. Accordingly, the implementation of personal electric vehicles should be preceded by the organization of the appropriate energy infrastructure.
