Already at the dawn of automotive, mankind was concerned about the creation of the rules of the road. In June 1903, the City Moscow Duma adopted "Mandatory decisions on the procedure for traffic on g. Moscow on automatic crews (cars) ”The adoption of the first traffic rules took place in hot disputes, disagreed that many accidents with the participation of a car will occur on the narrow streets of the city. And yet the rules were adopted. At that time, the maximum speed for automatic crews, when moving around the city, was set at 12 miles (approximately 13 km/h). True, practically none of the chauffeers did this traffic rules, they drove, who could. People of any gender could be controlled by the car who has reached the age of 18. In the spring of 1910. Amendments were made to the rules of the road, according to which, a rider was prohibited, and the maximum age of the driver of 60 years was established. After the revolution of 1917, the first rules were approved by the decree of Lenin in 1920 "On Auto Motion on G. Moscow and its environs (rules) ". And until 1940, all traffic rules were developed and approved by local authorities. In 1940, typical traffic rules were introduced, and on their basis, but still independently, traffic rules are being developed on the ground. 1957 - the introduction of new typical rules, but the general unification of traffic rules received only in 1959., When the USSR joined the International "Convention on Road Traffic". But before the introduction of uniform rules throughout the USSR, 2 more years remain, and only in January 1961 the first, in the history of the country, uniform rules of the road were introduced. And since January 1965. The “Rules of movement along the streets of cities, settlements and roads of the USSR” come into force.Since then, traffic rules have undergone significant changes and additions, and today Russia's motorists have been guided by unified rules approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 316 of May 10, 2010., which entered into force on November 20, 2010.
