While you can drive in almost every country on Earth, the driving experience you can get in Russia could be priceless . While it can be exciting to take in the unparalleled beauty that the country has to offer, the lack of “driving necessities” may leave you stranded, lost, or worse. For example, driving in the US, you expect the interstates and freeways to be well stocked with gas stations, restaurants, easy-to-read and clearly marked road signs, and stores; in Russia you cannot take these things for granted and in many places, you’ll be lucky to see any of them. The challenges that you may face are not to be taken lightly so one must be well prepared.

道路系统/联邦公路

Being that Russia spans from Kaliningrad in the westernmost point, north of Poland, all the way to its easternmost point located at Big Diomede Island in the Bering Strait, and has an area of nearly 6.5 million miles, you’d expect a large system of highways, right? Think again. As long as you are in the western part of the country, there is a nice array of highways, all the way up to St. Petersburg and a bit beyond. You can quite easily travel south all the way to Azerbaijan. In the western part of the country, it can be said that “all roads lead to Moscow.” Should you wish to travel east, your choices go from few to nonexistent rather quickly. The farther north you go, well, let’s just say that you probably don’t even want to try.

道路状况

考虑到俄罗斯的气候涵盖了一些非常炎热且同样寒冷的温度，您可以预期道路状况会有所不同。由于许多俄罗斯人在冬天选择轮胎上选择链条，您可以打赌这对道路造成了损失。从莫斯科到雅库特克的俄罗斯联邦公路的最后600英里被称为莉娜公路，冬季融化后，它被广​​泛认为是世界上最不热情的人之一。每次在春季和夏季下雨时，道路都会变成泥土。在许多地方，常规维护良好。在明亮的一面，莫斯科等主要城市的道路可能与欧洲其他地方相媲美。

警察/法律

俄罗斯警察在隐藏和建立雷达方面的想象力不容忽视。与世界其他地区一样，朝着您闪烁其远光的汽车通常意味着您最好检查自己的速度。还建议您在开车时携带一些现金，因为您可以出于任何原因被停止。除非您做可怕的非法事情，否则现金通常是您自由的关键。

直到最近，您不必在俄罗斯拥有汽车保险。另外，只要您不在六个月的时间内停留，您的州/国家的驾驶执照也可能就足够了。值得注意的是，俄罗斯驾驶礼节经常胜过这条道路的规则，因此摆脱了超速驾驶者的方式，并始终寻找意外的。到了晚上，您可能会看到驾车者都谨慎行驶，然后开车，无论如何，他们希望。这是因为许多警察这次用来赶上他们的睡眠。

总之，值得一提的是，直到最近，由于缺乏融资机会，许多俄罗斯人还没有拥有汽车。这意味着那些确实拥有车辆的人很可能会珍惜它们，因为难以获得它们。欧洲大部分地区的停车习惯通常会允许一个人轻轻地“推动”另一辆车的车辆，同时在俄罗斯停车空间会变得非常不合时宜。由于大多数城市的公共交通非常适合，因此这位作者建议使用它并为自己节省头痛。
