In the early 1990s, Vladivostok emerged as a hub for the Japanese automobile trade, solidifying its status as an automotive epicenter and an emblem of right-hand drive traffic in Russia. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, the city’s renowned car market, "Green Corner," offered affordable foreign vehicles ranging from $ 700 to $ 1000, a legacy that endures to this day. Despite its longevity, the city continues to grapple with escalating traffic congestion, a byproduct of the burgeoning influx of new vehicles.
Vladivostok, per capita, rightfully earns its distinction as one of Russia’s most motorized cities.
