By Car: St. Petersburg to Moscow 713km
I drove myself from St. Petersburg to Moscow. I got out of St. Petersburg around 6pm and got arrived in Moscow around 12pm the next day after I stop to sleep a few hours on the way.
The road consitions are bad altouhg it is supposed to be the Intra-states highway conecting Leningradskaya Oblast’ + Novgorodskaya Oblast’ + Tverskaya Oblast’ + Moskovskaya Oblast’.
All the way from St. Petersburg is about 713km with really bad road conditions, bad weather (in my case as I went in winter time), lots of insane truck drivers and small LADA drivers passing like rockets. I was stop by police once and nothing really happen, just the normal police check out asking for the papers and passport.
On the way out of St. Petersburg there are many Radars and police controling the speed, so go slow even if you dont see the speed limit signs. Always inside city limits I went about 50km/h or 40km/h when signs told so. In major roads I have never passed 80 or 90km/h.
On the picture you have one of the first things i remeber seeing when entering Moscow. This huge dirty truck and the war memorial on the left side as I was waiting for the lights to go green. Yes Yes remeber that even with all cars passing some crazy guy can come against you passing his red light!
Enjoy driving in Russia hehehe and good luck. Just open your eyes and you´ll be fine.
I drove total 4680km on my trip…nothing happen and im still more sharp than before hehehe.
