The country is in full swing summer season, and the people, of course, massively travel to the south - to the resorts of the Black Sea coast. However, if, say, in the spring from Rostov-on-Don you can drive - slowly, calmly - to the same Dzhubga in six hours, now it takes both 8 and 10 hours. And the point here is not only in the many times increased flow of cars, although this also plays certain role. - The problem is different - in repair work on highways, which traditionally our road builders, as if mocking everyone, begin to actively conduct it in the summer, when all regions, including the most distant ones, travel along the M-4 towards the sea, - outraged driver Alexander L., according to which, the trip to Anapa and back (there - eight hours, back - ten) turned into a real nightmare. - I have a simple question for the leadership of our, first of all, the region: why is all this done in July and, most importantly, in the afternoon? Why not do it this spring? And if you really feel like doing it right now, then why not at least at night, huh? The biggest horror is in front of the village of Samara, and it’s impossible to bypass this area. Everyone is standing! Many with children, some do not even have an air conditioner in the car, in general, some kind of hell turns out - they stand for a long time, people run around in need in the forest belts! By the way, the acting governor of the Rostov region noted this topic at a recent meeting of the regional commission on security traffic when the largest road organizations - the Rostov division of Rosavtodor and the department of highways - reported on their work. - organize Men at work necessary so that they do not create additional emergencies and traffic jams, Vasily Golubev spoke then.- And for this, the road builders should move the main part of the work to night time. However, the road builders, apparently, did not heed this advice much: the traffic police of the region reports that there are at least two large sections on the M-4 where repairs are underway - on the bridge over the Don (1061 - 1062 km of the highway) and - 28 km! - in front of our reader mentioned p. Samara (1091 - 1119th km).

The red color on the map eloquently testifies to how "fun" it is to drive along the M-4 towards Samara: the traffic jam actually starts from Bataysk. Photo: Yandex Maps.

"KP" found, however, a few more difficult areas. - The first impressive traffic jam before Rostov-on-Don - in the area of ​​​​the Mega shopping center, where there is an interchange that takes the M-4 bypassing Southern capital. It all depends on the time of day - by the evening, when a caravan of trucks is gathering, wishing to turn right onto the bridge towards Krasnodar (and there - only a lane in each direction), pandemonium begins about five kilometers before the junction. - Traffic jam near Samara. - In the Krasnodar Territory - in front of Korenovsk, in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bx. Painted, several sections at once, but short, one lane, as a rule, works. - Several kilometers will have to drag after the turn to the station. Dinskaya (this is not far from Krasnodar). - A small traffic jam - on the road passing through Goryachiy Klyuch. - You will have to stand several times on the segment between the villages of Moldavanovka-Defanovka. - They dug up part of the road in front of Dzhubga (this is if you go south, towards Sochi), as well as in front of Arkhipo-Osipovka (in the other direction, north, towards Gelendzhik). So our advice to you, dear wishing to relax at sea: stock up on patience and water. The road is going to be very difficult.

For many years we have been observing how the M4 Don highway, the road to the sea, is being transformed. It has never been picturesque, but now it is the most modern track in Russia. New modern gas stations, recreation areas, cafes, hotels - all this is in sufficient quantity. Good quality pavement, four-lane traffic, fenders, lighting and emergency call points (on toll sections) make the journey calm and confident. Those who drove the old M4 and have the opportunity to compare understand that all innovations are good. Including the notorious paid sites. We paid a little more than 1,100 rubles when traveling along the M4 with a transponder (in both directions!). Quite fearless money for a fast, safe and comfortable ride. If you believe breaking news, by the fall of 2017, two more sections will be opened - in the Rostov region (1091.6 - 1119.5 km.) And the Krasnodar Territory (1195 - 1319 km.).

There are many articles about the M4 in the "LT Travelers Club". And, it would seem, you can already calm down. But no. Firstly, the track changes every year, in places - beyond recognition. I will show you these changes. Secondly, I will hand over new tested on personal experience"passwords and appearances" - the hotel "Evraziyskiy", where we stopped twice for the night in Rostov-on-Don and a cafe on the M4, where we ate on the way there and back.
We drove south, as usual, in two stages. The first day is a marathon to Rostov-on-Don, 1,100 kilometers. The second day - a decisive breakthrough to Sochi, 560 kilometers. Shorter in mileage, but no less intense. I invite you on a trip by car to Sochi - along the M4 (Moscow - Novorossiysk) and A147 (Dzhubga - Tuapse - Sochi - Adler).

Advertising - club support

In the morning we wanted to leave early, at four o'clock. But it worked out as usual. They went to bed late. Couldn't sleep for a long time. As a result, we started already at six o'clock.

On Sunday, there were few cars on the Moscow Ring Road. We reached the M4 in 40 minutes.

There were few cars along the way. If it weren’t for traffic jams in three sections (Losevo village, in front of the Likhaya river and in front of the Krasny Kolos village), they would have reached Rostov very quickly.

All paid sections passed through the transponder. We bought this wonderful little thing last year in August when we went to. Have used it multiple times over the years. But in full power experienced only this time.

Traveling by transponder turned out to be very profitable. Paid sections round trip cost us 1,146 rubles. Here is the complete printout.

In terms of time, this is also a significant savings - no need to stand in line for payment. I think one hour total saved. And this is almost with a free track!

Usually the first time we refuel at the Shell gas station in the Moscow region and there we go for a snack at Pomponchik. This time the car was already refueled, and I didn’t feel like eating at all.

Appeal to newcomers on the M4: at the entrance to each toll section, more precisely to the toll booths, pay attention to which lane you are entering. The lanes for those who travel by transponder are always marked - this is green color the bands themselves, and the inscription " T-pass" above the strip. If you do not have a transponder, driving into this lane will make it difficult for you and others to move.

On the highway "Don" there are several memorable sights. Pay attention to the cross that stands on a hill above the road in the Tula region? Cross to the warrior Eugene?

19-year-old soldier Yevgeny Rodionov was killed by bandits on the First Chechen war when he refused to take off his cross and betray his faith. This cross is a personal initiative of caring people.

Driving along the M4 in the Tula region, I always admire the temple of the Iberian Icon of the Mother of God in the village of Borshchevoe, Venevsky district (183 km.).

Since then, many new hotels have been opened on the Don highway, old ones have been renovated. At the 200th kilometer, I noticed a bright orange motel "Edem" (Venevsky district, Kukuy village). The place is popular.

Hotel "Ilyinka" at 220 km. the M 4 "Don" highway is one of the new ones.

The quality of the roadway on the M4 is excellent. Almost all areas have fenders.

Some bridges and overpasses have not been completed to the end.

The asphalt is worse there, you can even see it from the photographs. :)

Some finishing work going on.

We decided to have lunch at the Simpatio pizzeria in Novaya Usman. Hunger was already driving our stomachs unbearably, we decided not to pull up to 720 kilometers.

But a tragicomedy came out with Usman. Before the next paid section of the route, we did not pay attention to the yellow shield. And he said that a new paid section was opened - to bypass New Usman.

We pass the toll collection point in one breath.

Without considering the signs, we move along the white road markings "M4".

And only at this moment we raise our eyes up and ... we say "Goodbye" to the pizzerias. The funny thing is that way back we accidentally went not on a toll road and ended up in Usman. So we were surprised when we saw that the pizzeria "Sympatio" no longer exists at all. So this time, God simply took us away from unnecessary loss of time.

This time there were many cars from St. Petersburg and, of course, from Moscow on the track. They are always in the majority. But on general feelings driving south now from everywhere. This was not the case five years ago. Road trips have become very popular because they are economical, convenient and fun.

Again we pass the payment point without a queue. Thank you transponder!

On the way there and back, we observed the active construction of a bypass road around Losevo and Pavlovsk. This time we had to stand in Losevo. 40 minutes definitely lost, if not more.

And here is Lukoil at the 720th kilometer. We fill up the car and go to dinner. We have been on the road for 9.5 hours. Unfortunately, we did not take traditional fruits with us (we like to take sliced ​​peaches and apricots; the food is light, but saturates well).

On the way back, we stopped at a cafe at the Tatneft gas station at 749 km. (from Moscow). I noticed her on the way south. There are new gas stations on both sides of the road.

Tatneft is located right behind Dyadin (a farm in the Bogucharsky district of the Voronezh region). It's impossible to drive. For Dyadin - if you go to Moscow! Before Dyadin - if you go to the sea!

The cafe is small. There is a shop and a children's play area.

The food is delicious, homemade. We really enjoyed. We got more pies to go. Real borscht with meat. Herring under a fur coat, manti and fish are delicious. Berry juice - awesome, natural.

Before the Likhaya River, we got stuck in a serious traffic jam.

Together with us, in the neighborhood, such a lovely dog ​​toiled.

We "caught" another traffic jam almost in front of Rostov, or rather, in front of the village of Krasny Kolos.

Of the innovations on the M4 - several new "Pompoms" in the Rostov Region and the Krasnodar Territory. A network cafe was opened in front of Rostov. Yeah, the once suburban network became federal. It is good that there is an opportunity to eat in proven places.

We drove into Rostov-on-Don already in the dark, at 21.00. The road from home to Rostov took 15.5 hours. About 2 and a half hours spent on traffic jams. And an hour - to rest at the 720th kilometer. Total - a clean path of 12 hours at our modest speed of 90 km / h.

The next day we continued our journey to the sea.
We had breakfast at the hotel. Breakfast is not very dense, but as a snack it is enough. Behind Rostov we saw another Pompom. But by this time, I didn't feel like eating at all.

Rostov-on-Don is located almost on the border of the Rostov region and Krasnodar Territory. You do not have time to "get scared" as you are already entering the Kuban. For me, this is the most quivering, sweetest and most exciting moment. I love the Kuban region, I love our south, I love to go there by car!

When I pass under this wide hospitable "arch" with sunflowers "Welcome to Krasnodar region", the soul sings loudly.

In the same way, the soul cries when I read the inscription with reverse side: "We are waiting for you again. Resorts of the Krasnodar Territory."

A memorable landmark on the M4 highway - memorial Complex"Field of Cossack Glory". From afar, a rider on a rearing horse is visible. The inscription on the monument: "Here in August 1942 stood to death, defending the gates of the Caucasus, the 4th Guards Kuban Cossack Corps, surprising the world with his stamina and greatness of spirit."

View of the monument from the other side of the road.

At the turn to Tikhoretsk, the M4 makes a sharp turn to the right.

They were amazed that the repair work that has been going on in this area for a long time has not yet been finally completed. Let it be only 10 kilometers, but I had to suffer for a heavy truck on a single lane.

At 1,252 km. everything was fine, and the track flew.

One of the new gas stations on the highway. Believe me, there are a lot of them along the entire M4. Moreover, these are complexes, including a cafe and a shop.

At Krasnodar, in the absence of a sign, they missed the turn to the bypass. It’s good that we understood this in time, we didn’t stop by the city. I had to turn around. On the way back, by the way, the sign was already there.

The clock was about an hour. And although they initially thought of staying at, they couldn’t bear it, they decided to have a bite to eat in the same Pompom.

Krasnodar "Pomponchik" is our favorite. Highly tasty food! Okroshka on kefir is excellent. Chebureks with a Caucasian accent are spicy and very tasty. And what donuts are here ... Real ones! Completely different dough than we do now. Donuts from my childhood. Highly recommend!

And here are the "Cossacks", to which we did not endure.

Recently I traveled along the route Moscow - Rostov-on-Don and back along the M4 highway. Mileage one way is about 1100 - 1200 km.
Moscow - Rostov
The road there took about 13 hours, back - 15. The road in the Moscow region is good, at least 2 lanes in each direction with a separator. AT Tula region the road is worse, but also nothing. closer to Lipetsk region the road becomes single-lane without a separator, two-lane sections are rare - just pockets for overtaking slow-moving vehicles. At the entrance to Voronezh a short section toll road, or 8, or 18 km. The fare is 10 rubles. The quality is normal, there were no cops. On the way there we stopped in Voronezh, had a bite to eat McDonald's. It is not far from the center on General Lizyukov street. Near the monument to the cat Vasily from the cartoon. During the whole trip you feel at home - 99% of cars with numbers of Moscow, Moscow region and St. Petersburg. After Voronezh, the road is so-so - many repair sites. There are cops, but not much. Many dummies of traffic police cars. In the Lipetsk region, there were especially many ambushes of traffic police officers, and the employees hid surprisingly deep into the forest, so they quickly ran out of there to stop cars. There are a lot of traffic jams in the Rostov region due to road repairs. Of the breakdowns on the road to Rostov, 1 dipped beam lamp and 1 fog light burned out.
Rostov
The next day the second headlight bulb went out. Rostov turned out to be poor in car shops, and there were no H7 lamps in those that got caught. Since the trip was a vacation, it was reluctant to bother much and decided to go to the officials. Drove to "Autoliga". H7 Motorkraft cost 306 rubles apiece, when asked to install, they answered that
queue for a few days! Installed in a roadside service. They took 150r, though then I had to dig myself - one of the bulbs was installed crookedly. In Rostov, traffic is somewhat chaotic. Local drivers are Cossacks at heart, so they only get under way with a slip, they constantly buzz, they don’t use turn signals, they don’t even know that they can give way. Traffic lights are not very convenient - they hang high and shine dimly. The roads are of satisfactory quality. Refueled only at TNK, no problem. During the entire stay, the traffic police was never stopped.
Rostov-Moscow
We left on Sunday morning, so there were no numerous road vehicles. Rostov region drove by pretty quickly. There were traffic jams in the Voronezh region, especially at the entrance to Voronezh and around it. Because of a large number slow-moving trucks, the nerves of the drivers could not stand it and there were many overtakings, several of these overtakings ended in accidents right before our eyes. The temperature overboard was over 30, we were driving with air conditioning. Unfortunately after a while the car began to overheat. The focus began to blunt, the speed began to rest first at 4000, then at 3000 and overtaking became impossible. When the engine was no longer spinning above 2500, I had to stop and stand with the hood up. After 20 minutes we drove on, the condo was no longer included. Traffic jams were also at the entrance to Yelets. Somewhere in the middle of the Tula region, the road became 2-lane and it was possible to drive 120 - 140. There were no further adventures, we calmly reached Moscow along a good road in the Moscow region.
The already worthless paintwork got hold of new chips. There were no other breakdowns along the way.
Upon arrival in Moscow, I immediately ordered an air intake from the Focus ST. I hope after installation the problem with overheating will not recur.

Information on the organization of traffic at the facilities of overhaul and repair highway M4 "Don" and artificial structures on it for 2017

On the federal highway M4 "Don" (Moscow - Novorossiysk) in the Republic of Adygea, traffic will be limited due to the repair of bridges. This was reported by the propaganda department of the Republican traffic police. According to the State traffic inspectorate, from May 18 to June 17 this year, on bridge structures located at km 1341, km 1342 and km 1351 of the M4 Don highway, in daylight hours days, repair work will be carried out with a phased closure of one of the four lanes. As a matter of priority, lanes will be closed in the direction of Krasnodar.

According to the tender documentation, the section of the M4 highway in the Rostov region from 1071 to 1074 km will be repaired no later than November 10, 2017, the section from 1074 to 1091 km - by October 30, 2018

On the section of the M4 Don highway in the Aksai district of the Rostov region, from 1054 to 1056 km, traffic is difficult due to the repair of the highway, the regional traffic police reports. Since March 11, 2017, major repairs have been carried out there in southbound scheduled to be completed within 20 days. “Currently, the organization of traffic is carried out on one lane in each direction, and therefore the movement in this area is difficult,” the traffic police said.

April 1, 2017 on the section of the federal highway M4 "Don" in the Rostov region (km 933 - km 982) repair begins. The work is being carried out to ensure the regulatory condition of the road and ensure traffic safety in this section. The organization of traffic will be carried out in two lanes with the transfer of traffic to the oncoming lane. The work will be carried out from April 1 to September 20, 2017. State company Avtodor apologizes to drivers for temporary inconvenience.

In April 2017, the repair of the overpass across the highway will begin local importance(Grushevskaya station), at 1034 km federal highway M4 Don. Starting from April 4, work will begin on the arrangement of the traffic organization scheme for the period of repair work (temporary marking, installation of signs). After graduation preparatory work the switchover of traffic and the start of work on the roadway of the facility will begin. The work is carried out to ensure the regulatory condition of the road and traffic safety. First of all, the work will be carried out on the right structure, the direct direction of the M4 Don highway, Moscow - Novorossiysk, then on the left. The state company Avtodor apologizes for the temporary inconvenience.

Highway M-4 "Don" connects Central Russia and southern regions countries. The enjoyment of the road and rest can be spoiled by many kilometers of traffic jams on the highway. Every year this topic is very relevant at any time of the year. Although bottlenecks have significantly decreased this year, they still exist. Therefore, it is so important to know the detour routes, the status of detours and the coverage of the main route.

We take as a basis a traveler departing from the capital region.

The M-4 highway, at the present time, is a wide highway with paid sites. I would like to immediately say to lovers of savings. You should not bypass these roads. alternative way. This will take a lot of time and nerves. This road goes through settlements with many speed bumps and a speed limit of 30 km/h.

Therefore, it is better not to save on this, but to move quickly, saving the undercarriage from the terrible recumbent hillocks, on which even trucks completely stop. And so you drove through several regions, passed several sections with repair work and speed limits, drove into Voronezh region. This is the first bottleneck on your path where you will need to make a detour.

Detour of Losevo village, Voronezh region

The entire length of the section from this village to the city of Pavlovsk is a single-lane road, on which repair roads have been underway for many years, without improving the traffic situation. This is especially noticeable in summer time. Many kilometers of traffic jams gather here, in which people stand for several hours. The most unfortunate motorists can get stuck here for 5-6 hours. This year, July's traffic growth figures are already well above those of August last year. Although August is considered the month of the largest number vehicles heading south. The state company "Avtodor" recommends several ways to bypass this "bottleneck":

• If the traffic jam starts close to the village, motorists have only one detour option. Having reached the sign for the 595th kilometer, we leave the highway in the direction of the city of Bobrov, we pass the village of Buturlinovka. Further, there are 2 options for further movement. If, in Yandex - traffic jams, you see information about the continuation of the traffic jam in the city of Pavlovsk, you should continue to detour and get off at M-4 already near the city of Boguchar at 740 km of the highway. If there is no traffic jam in Pavlovsk, then you should go to the main road at km 671. After Pavlovsk, traffic goes along a modern highway with two-lane traffic in one direction, so you should leave here to save time.
• If the navigator showed the presence of a traffic jam, and you just passed Voronezh, you should turn around at the turn towards the city of Liski. Then we move towards the city of Boguchar, pass Kamenka, Rossosh and exit to the DON highway at the signpost 740 km, already 37 km to the border with the Rostov region.
• The option of the longest congestion bypass, if the first 2 options are also crowded with cars avoiding trouble. Near Voronezh, at the sign "492 km" we leave towards the city, along the ring road, we reach the direction indicator towards Kursk. We pass Patriots Avenue and exit onto the E-38 road. Follow the sign for Ostrogozhsk. Then we move along route 2 and return to the main route after Boguchar, passing places with slow traffic.

Having entered the Rostov region, we cross it along the longest part. road to good condition, with minor repairs. But that doesn't slow things down a bit. Sections of the track with a large rut are dangerous for cars with low ground clearance. But the traffic is slowed down by heavy vehicles that do not want to go along the “floated” right lane and go to the left side.

Generally incomprehensible situation. Every year, the track is patched up and the rutting is removed. And every year, in the midst of the holiday season, there are difficulties in traffic. The road workers promise to prepare the roads for the World Cup, but seeing the state of the M-4 highway, you doubt the veracity of these promises.

And okay, foreign brands of long vehicles, but when a loaded KAMAZ crawls into the left lane, here you have to slow down and violate the established traffic schedule. But even more it will be broken at the entrance to the Platov airport under construction. The traffic jam can stretch for more than 20 km. And the time spent in traffic jam stretches for more than 4-5 hours.

Back in the spring of 2017, Avtodor promised to carry out repair work on the M-4 section from Novocherkassk to Rostov in spring and autumn. At the same time, the uninterrupted passage of vehicles during the holidays had to be ensured. But the work was not completed on time, and on this site and near the airport under construction, cars move at a speed of no more than 5 km / h.

Road workers claim the duration of traffic jams is no more than 7 km, but the actual duration of these places can reach more than 20 km. Many motorists place the blame for this on heavy truck drivers. But the wide roadside and very hurrying drivers moving along it and the nearby dirt road are to blame. The boors, in columns, slip through the place of the traffic jam and brazenly wedged into the row.

And the number of cars is very large and forced rest stretches for many hours. The road builders are silent about the completion of the work, so it is necessary to know the detours. Many advise moving through Aksai or Zukerovaya beam. Yes, this way you can reduce the time spent in a traffic jam, but it will take time to get to these exit points, and the winning distance is small.

Another option is advised when traveling to the Crimea. Again Aksai, Leninavan, the road to Azov and Kerch. But this path can lead to a traffic jam at the entrance to Rostov from Taganrog or in the city itself, when driving during rush hours.

There are 2 earlier exits from the track. This is the way through Novocherkassk, then we move towards Bolshoy Log and Aksai and we go onto the highway after the traffic jam.

The second way seems a bit better to me. At the turn to Novoshakhtinsk, we leave the highway, drive into the city, move through the village of Krasny, Radionovo - Nesvetai and exit to the northern bypass of Rostov. The road is good, there are small sections with a bad road, but without potholes and big bumps. We are moving towards Shchepkin village, following the signs to Moscow. Here the road is new, wide enough. Behind the village of Shchepkin we leave for the highway.

Traffic jams are unlikely here, so you can calm down and move at the speed allowed by the rules. Small areas with repair work, do not cause big problems. They appear a little later. If you are going to the Crimea and have not passed electronic registration you have to stand in line. There are no detours in this case. But problems may arise even at the entrance to the Kerch crossing.

This is the city of Timashevsk and its railways. This may cause crisis situations. They advise the way through the city, but this is not the best option. There are more convenient route. Without stopping in the city, we move to the station. Konevskaya, then we leave for Grechannaya Balka and Slavinsk - on - Kuban. It should be bypassed bypass road. It turns out a detour of more than 17 km, but you do not need to stand in the heat with the air conditioner turned on, lose gasoline with frequent gas changes and nerves from road troubles.

If you are heading to Tuapse, Sochi and further along the Black Sea coast, you can move through Goryachiy Klyuch and Dzhubga. But large traffic jams can form from the Goryachiy Klyuch to Defonovka and to the entrance to Dzhubga. Some hotheads offer routes through ravines with river crossings. We won't even discuss them.

We do not recommend leaving for the Hot Key in the direction of the village of Shaumyan. Such a detour can lead to a visit to the workshop and repair of the chassis. A broken gravel road, for 40 km, will not so much reduce the time spent in a traffic jam, as it will increase the time for repairs and money costs.

The best alternative to the Don highway on this stretch would be to drive through the Shahumyan Pass. But here it is worth making a reservation. If the weather is very damp, especially after heavy rains, only drivers with four-wheel drive can decide on this path. Dry weather will allow cars with low ground clearance to pass in this place.

We turn to st. Saratovskaya, a small section with a bad road, will allow you to move towards the goal at a speed of no more than 20 km / h. We move towards Apsheronsk, then we advance to Khadyzhensk, passing it, we pass through the pass and leave for Tuapse . What next we are moving to our favorite places of the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus and Abkhazia.

These tips from experienced autotourists will help you avoid many troubles along the way and find ways to bypass traffic jams:

But the main rule is that when setting off on a journey, be sure to study the map of traffic jams and areas with difficult traffic and take a navigator on the road with new maps downloaded and the speed system. And connect the mobile Internet on your phone. This equipment will help you avoid unwanted encounters with traffic police officers and tell you places of difficult traffic and ways to detour them.

In conclusion, we note

When setting out on a long journey, prepare your car for the journey. Buy or rent a navigator with fresh maps, be sure to pay for the mobile Internet of your smartphone. This technique will help you find the correct detour route and warn you in time of traffic jams.

When choosing ways to bypass traffic jams, choose the most best option taking into account the quality of roads and mileage. Do not be too lazy to report on the forum of motorists new information about detours and share your impressions of driving along the old routes.

Good luck on the roads. No nail, no wand. And fewer post-vacation chain letters in your inbox.
