Moscow couriers must pass a traffic rules test from October 15
Moscow's transport department is making a test on traffic rules and work standards mandatory for couriers, and from October 15 delivery services will not be allowed to assign orders to those who have not passed it.
RuskiGazeta Editorial DeskUpdated:
Couriers working in Moscow will have to pass a test on traffic rules and work standards from October 15. Deputy Mayor Maxim Liksutov, who heads the city's transport department, told TASS that the test was voluntary until October 14; after that, delivery services will not be able to send couriers who have not passed it out on orders.
Liksutov said a similar test has already been used successfully for taxi drivers and is now being extended to the delivery sector. More than 135,000 couriers currently work in the capital.
Couriers will need to show they know safe riding rules, including speed limits, the use of bicycles and personal mobility devices, and the requirement to dismount at pedestrian crossings. They will also be tested on service ethics, delivery rules and standards for their own appearance and that of their vehicles.
To pass, couriers must answer at least 80 percent of the questions correctly. The result appears immediately in the courier's personal account and is valid for one year. The tests run through the city's taxi analytics information system set up in 2021, and the city carries out regular checks on couriers together with the road traffic inspectorate.
The new rule also applies to foreigners working as couriers in Moscow, who will not be able to receive orders without passing the test.
