The roads between Yoshkar-Ola and [[Cheboksary]], and between Yoshkar-Ola, Volzhsk and [[Kazan|Kazan']] have steady traffic. Elsewhere, waiting times can be longer than usual in Russia due to a scarcity of private cars on the road going long distances -- this is one of the poorest regions of Russia -- though you'll eventually have luck with a truck.
