The golden car spent the night ...

The wheel for us is already more important than meat and millet

What is the court in law? This is when all parking spaces in the yard are secretly painted. Everyone knows that the “Toyota” at the porch is put by Ivan Ivanovich, “Volkswagen” near the garbage urn - Peter Stepanych, and “UAZ Patriot” with one wheel on the children's sandbox - Rostislav Kuzmich. And the request is not to be offended if, having attached your car to one of these sleeping places, you will find in the morning that you have all the wheels pierced. Including the spare in the trunk.

And in the afternoon your car does not have to go to the court. Not so long ago, Internet users made fun of the picture: an elderly resident of Kazan carried a stool into the courtyard and sat between cars standing at the entrance. It was assumed that the old woman was waiting for the guest and in this way a couple of hours saved his parking lot. With this purpose, no one has yet to go into the courtyard for this purpose.

What suddenly pulled me on this old and hopeless topic? I saw a remarkable advertisement.

Apartments are sold in a residential complex. Among other advantages, one thing is very attractive: a yard without cars. Well, isn't it? Flower beds, grandmothers on a bench, mothers with strollers. And if the boy in that yard is malling the ball into the “nine”, then this is into the football gate, and not into the rusted products of the Togliatti Automobile Plant.

A yard without cars is a ghostly, but reality. Do you want a city without cars? Well, at least with a limited number of cars. Thinking people are already speaking out on a large scale. “Sooner or later, you will have to make an entry into the city paid,” Rifkat Minnikhanov told the Kazan edition of Business Online. "That is, a person goes to the cottage for free, and returns home for money?" - the correspondent captures the idea. "Yes. You can make several rings around the city with the gradation of the cost of entry. Today the system allows you to do this, ”an experienced interlocutor develops the thought.

Let's not confuse, this is not the President of Tatarstan Rustam Nurgalievich Minnikhanov, but his brother Rifkat Nurgalievich, a former head of the traffic police of the republic, and now the director of the state budgetary institution “Road Safety”. So, a person engaged in road traffic can declare anything, and President Minnikhanov, of course, does not say anything like that. In his lips, the words “today the system allows you to do this” would sound with a completely different meaning. The system, a part of which is a regional politician, has already allowed a lot of such that it announces our citizens. After all, even after the words of the apolitical brother on the Web, comments like: “The authorities of the authorities to pay for everything. It was already born: for the air, for the rain ... ”“ You can still start taking money from the entrance and exit from the entrance, ”one of the resourceful Kazan suggests. And then he receives from another: "Stop throwing their ideas to them!"

The idea of ​​a paid entrance to the settlements is actually not new. We will not touch the foreign experience, it is enough to recall that our sovereign republics have undertaken during the perestroika years. In the same Tatarstan, paid travel through bridges on the Volga and Kama was introduced. The neighboring Mari Republic installed a barrier on the administrative border, and the drivers paid for entry to the border city of Volzhsk. I had to write about orders in one Mari village, where they introduced an hourly fee for the stay of extraneous cars in it. I drove for a moment, set it up in the mud there for two hours, pay to the full. Today, such ideas are embarrassed to simply copy, they must be somehow developed. Suppose to introduce visas to visit cities and villages. If you want to go from Tula to Tula for gingerbread, go to Tula region in your Tula region, fill out a questionnaire, take a picture, hand over your fingerprints, pay for a visa, wait for the approval of the trip - and travel.

At some point, it began to seem that scooters would be saved from cars. People massively move from four to two wheels (or even one), and it is already easy to imagine how the groom takes out a bride from the registry office to a scooter, decorated with a doll and ribbons.

The ministers are about to move to scooters with flashing lights. Truckers will transport small -sized goods on scooters.

In the parking lots and in the yards, scooters will occupy an insignificant place, and in which case to evacuate a scooter is a pleasure. The evacuator will be a scooter with a trailer. In general, life has been updated: at the scooter I and my Masha ...

But it wasn’t there. The scooters not only did not solve an important city problem, but they themselves became an unsolvable problem. If you stand in a traffic jam with the machine, then with a scooter - to lie in a plaster. At the same time, if you take the road to scooters, then their owners will be in the gypsum, and if the sidewalk, then passers -by. Kazan newspapers cite data from emergency rooms and write that the city was not ready for the rapid propagation of scooters. And one of the Cheboksary newspapers came out with the message: "In Chuvashia, they recorded the first death from electric scooter." This is a new dead end, the exit from which, of course, will be paid. There will be no tracks for scooters and highlighted strips for another 100 years. And there will be fines, prohibitions and restrictions. Not getting used to it: Russia is a country of batons and barriers.

In the meantime, we solve old and new road problems here, in the city of Engels introduced a fee for entering cars in the cemetery. 183 rubles from the one who wants to give the grave of the tombstone, sand, cement, inventory ... I almost wrote that Friedrich Engels from such an innovation turned over in the coffin, but he was not buried in the Saratov region. He does not have a grave at all. The urn with his ashes was lowered into the sea. As you can see, this is more economical.
