Some rules of the road

Always wear your seat belt. Not only is this a good safety practice, but you may be pulled over by a traffic cop and fined if you're not wearing one.

The speed limit in the city is 60 kph (35 mph). Speed limits outside the city vary from 90-120 kph (55-65 mph).

There is no "right turn on red". Look for turn signs at all intersections which will indicate which turns are permitted. Left turns at many intersections are forbidden, causing you to do a complicated maneuver which involves going through the intersection, turning left and doubling back (making а разворот) to make a right turn where you need it.

Horns are rarely used as signals. If any type of warning is needed, drivers may flash their headlights.

If your car is involved in an accident, do not attempt to move it until the traffic cops have come to write up a report. The CLO has a file entitled "Orientation: Driving in Moscow" with more information on this.
