Скачать или смотреть Russia no border control. Saatse boot, road 178. Estonia #13

The Saatse Boot is a small section of the Estonian-Russian border where a portion of road number 178 is located on Russian territory. Motorists and bicyclists can pass through this area without visas or stopping for border controls, as long as they do not stop until they have returned to Estonian territory. 

Key Points about the Saatse Boot:
Unusual Border Passage:It's a unique situation where a road, and therefore vehicle traffic, briefly enters Russian territory. 
No Visa Required:This passage is possible without needing a visa or stopping for border controls. 
No Stopping Allowed:Vehicles must not stop within the Russian portion of the road, and pedestrians are not allowed to walk or touch the ground within the 1 km distance. 
Russian Border Control:The Russian Federation has the right to control traffic, carry out patrols, and enforce the conditions within their territory. 
Emergency Protocol:If a vehicle breaks down, crashes, or has a medical emergency, it's recommended to contact the Russian rescue services or border patrol. 
Why this happens:
Territorial Disputes: The Saatse Boot is the result of historical border demarcation issues. 
Traffic Flow: This allows for a smoother flow of traffic between the two countries, particularly for those traveling on the Värska-Saatse road. 
In essence, the Saatse Boot provides a quick and visa-free passage through a small stretch of Russian territory for those using the Värska-Saatse road in Estonia, as long as the rules regarding stopping and pedestrian traffic are followed.
