Road Sector Workers' Day is observed in Russia every third Sunday of October, celebrating the contributions of professionals in the road sector. Established in 1996 by the President of Russia, the day was initially celebrated on the last Sunday of October before being moved to its current date in 2000 by President Vladimir Putin. This professional day recognizes the efforts of over 3,000 institutions and organizations that employ hundreds of thousands of workers dedicated to building and maintaining roads, ensuring traffic safety, and managing road surface quality and signage. While there are no special governmental events organized for this day, workers typically receive congratulations from friends, relatives, and colleagues, and may host celebrations to mark their professional achievements.
