yes,
It's one of the main Hways in the city.
The guy IS from Moscow ( or close proximity) because he uses letters "A" instead of "O".
Correct pronunciation is Volokolamskoe shosse, but most of us Muscovites use long ?Ahhh? instead of spelled out ?O? .. So spelling becomes Valalkalamskoe instead of proper Volokolamskoe? Sorta like rednecks down south in US? Yo-Aaaall thing..
