It has been revealed where most accidents occur in Yekaterinburg.
Over the past five years, 5,683 serious accidents have occurred in Yekaterinburg (more than 124,000 accidents in total). In these crashes 325 people died, 15 of them children, and more than 7,000 people were injured. In 2025 there have already been more than 800 crashes, and 74 people have died.
As Police Major Anton Popov, head of the DPS and investigation unit of the State Traffic Inspectorate department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for Yekaterinburg, said at a TASS press conference, accidents most often occur for two reasons: collisions and pedestrian run-overs. For the most part, accidents happen because drivers do not yield to one another, do not keep a safe distance, and violate traffic rules.
The most accidents occur in the Chkalovsky District, in particular on the Polevsky Trakt. Second on the list are the Verkh-Isetsky District and the Chusovskoy Trakt. The most accident-prone spots in Yekaterinburg are the Sibirsky Trakt service road, the Kosmonavtov–Chelyuskintsev intersection, and, unexpectedly in 2025, the heavily congested Belinsky–Furmanov intersection has become accident-prone.
So far, 2024 has been the most accident-prone year of the five.
