I’ve actually had the (dis)pleasure of driving in Russia and can attest to the reality of this video. The intersection depicted in the video is more the rule rather than the exception in Russian traffic design. I can still recall my astonishment at the lack of road signs, lane demarcations, and traffic signals. We tend to take these things for granted, while Russians prefer a more freewheeling, carefree approach to their road system. That may be an understatement. A more accurate description would be let the devil take the hindmost. Should you find yourself in the driver’s seat on a Moscovite road, just remember that traffic signals are only recommendations, which you can choose to obey at your own peril. Your fellow drivers are certainly thinking the same way.
