Truckers partially block highway near Moscow
In the 94th kilometre of M4 Highway "Don", eight drivers of heavy-duty vehicles are holding their protest action against the introduction of the "Platon" system.
The protest action named "Snail" is held by eight heavy trucks: they have occupied the right-hand lane of the two-lane section of the 94th kilometre of the above highway, resulting in a jam, the TV Channel "Dozhd" reported on its website at 4:53 p.m. Moscow time.
The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that truckers from several regions of Russia, including the Krasnodar Territory, Dagestan, the Volgograd and Rostov Regions, are protesting against the introduction of the "Platon" system aimed at collecting tolls from trucks for using federal highways. Earlier, the strikers announced their intention to transfer protests from their regions to Moscow, and most of them are now in Moscow suburbs.
