Of car plates with the new region codes will be issued later this year. Earlier, instead of 7 planned to use 2 but the figure does not fit in the allotted space for the regional code. For the benefit of the Group of Seven is the fact that surveillance cameras, according to the Interior Ministry, the figure is better recognized. The cause of changes in regional codes became shortage of car numbers in several regions of Russia: Moscow, Moscow region, Primorsky and Krasnoyarsk region. Recall the summer of 2012. Traffic police announced plans to give a perspective on the area code of car plates. It was assumed that put the car on the account can be in any region of Russia, regardless of the registration of the owner.
