But seriously, parking a car at first glance seems like a piece of cake, but everything is a little more complicated. Firstly, vehicle parking is clearly regulated by the Rules traffic. Secondly, different cities and regions may have their own parking nuances. And thirdly, there are unspoken rules, not to comply with which means not to respect yourself, nor fellow motorists, nor pedestrians, nor law enforcement officers, nor even that cat who is used to basking in the place under which the heating main is laid.

Alas, Moscow cannot boast of such parking regulations

Remember a simple axiom - only a tank driver does not have to know how to park his vehicle. For everyone else, the traffic rules spell out parking rules.

Stop or parking?

Submitting to the fashion for Western terminology and ubiquitous Anglicisms, we will not abandon such a concept as “parking”. But in our legislative framework another term appears - "parking". And if drivers have long understood the difference between “inspection” and “inspection” of a vehicle, then they often have difficulties with the definition of “parking” and “stopping”.

A stop is a pause in movement, a parking is a stop for 5 or more minutes.

So, a stop is, in simple terms, a cessation of movement lasting no more than 5 minutes.
However, the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes if this time is not enough for them to disembark/pick up passengers or load/unload. But if a vehicle stops for more than 5 minutes, and this has nothing to do with passengers or cargo, then this is already a parking lot.

Parking rules for everyone

First, let's look at why you should park correctly. Quite often, novice drivers and experienced “steering wheelers” believe that it is not so important where the car is parked. But by parking your vehicle correctly, you will, firstly, reduce your chances of meeting and communicating with all of us beloved traffic police inspectors and such a nuisance as a fine.

Someone parks however they want...

Secondly, proper parking will protect your car from troubles, such as an accident without moving or mechanical damage, caused by particularly dissatisfied pedestrians defending their rights using radical methods.

And someone - how can.

By the way, about the accident.

If your car was parked illegally and became involved in a traffic accident, then all the blame and administrative responsibility inevitably and automatically falls on you.

Where can I park?

IN current Rules Traffic regulations tell you where you can park and where you can’t. From paragraph 12.1 you can find out that parking can be organized on the side of the road to the right of the road or at the edge of the roadway. If you still want to park on the left, then this can only be done on roads with one lane in each direction and without tram tracks.

Violation of parking rules is the reason for difficulties with parking in Moscow

But the union of a parked car and the sidewalk is discussed in section 12.2. If you ride a bicycle, moped, motorcycle and car, then you have every right to park your vehicle in places that are marked with a parking sign...

... and one of the signs below (here is the answer to the frequently asked question - is it possible to park on the sidewalk).

In all other cases, you will have to park at your own risk. And, of course, conscience.

Where you can't park

No matter how we feel about prohibitory signs, ignoring them is often more expensive for ourselves.
Parking is prohibited if the following sign is visible on the horizon.

The effect of the “No Parking” sign extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in populated areas, in the absence of an intersection, to the end of the populated area.

At the same time, variations of this sign can be observed on the streets of Russian cities.

Parking is prohibited on odd days of the month

Parking is prohibited on even days of the month

But there are also more general rules.
For example, under no circumstances will you be able to legally park your vehicle on the sidewalk if it is a truck. In addition, parking is prohibited in those places where stopping is not permitted, which is quite logical.

Also, you cannot park a vehicle on the roadway outside the populated area that is marked with a “Main Road” sign.

Do not forget that it is strictly prohibited to organize parking closer than 50 meters from railway crossings.

Interesting

The “Pedestrian Path” sign prohibits cars from driving, but nothing is said about parking on the path for pedestrians and cyclists. Yes, a fine of 2 thousand rubles. you will have to pay, because it is impossible to enter the forbidden territory without moving. However, according to the Administrative Code, the traffic police have no right to evacuate your car to the impound area from the pedestrian path. Many Muscovites, those who have more money, take advantage of this flaw in the Code and habitually park their four-wheeled “horses” on paths intended for “two-legged people.”

How much does illegal parking cost?

Municipal authorities are constantly increasing penalties for parking where parking is prohibited. At the same time, there is a certain gradation of fines depending on the region or city. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg the fine amounts are higher than in other Russian cities.

Rules for parking in yards: good where we are not

It should be recognized that the rules for parking in courtyards and adjacent areas have not yet been clearly defined at the legislative level. But it would be worth it, because, for example, Moscow courtyards are increasingly reminiscent of a zone high voltage, which arises between residents. However, there is a vault general rules, which any driver is obliged to comply with.

It is strictly prohibited to park a car on lawns. The provision on “green zones” is not spelled out in the traffic rules, but such parking violates another set of rules - the city improvement rules. In addition, you must not block a passage that impedes the movement of others. Vehicle and pedestrians. Sidewalks in yards are also a taboo area for car owners.

Sometimes in the courtyards there is a “parking nonsense”

If we talk about any clear instructions, then parking a car is prohibited closer than 10 meters from the doors, be it the doors of a store or an entrance, and also no closer than 5 meters from garbage containers.

In London, a car owner can buy the right to park next to their house or in their yard for 100 pounds a year. For all other parking spaces, Londoners pay £4 hourly and can stay in a space for a maximum of four hours.

Regarding other prohibitions, a car with a running engine cannot be parked in yards. Remember - no more than 4 minutes 59 seconds. This rule is worth thinking about for motorists who warm up the engine before driving during the winter months.

And, of course, they are completely discriminated against in relation to off-street parking. trucks mobile phones with permission maximum weight more than 3.5 tons.

Parking rules in Moscow

A city can be considered one that has reached the highest level of motorization if there are from 300 to 400 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants. In 2013, Moscow was on the list of the most motorized cities took second place— 380 cars per “kilo-capita” of the population. Hence the 127 hours a year that a Moscow driver spends fighting traffic jams.

Free parking is a luxury for Moscow

So here it is. Once the city reaches high level motorization, it automatically waives the “free parking” regulations. This is the answer to the question why parking in Moscow became paid. We must not forget about the convenience of pedestrians, the priority of public transport and moving cars. Parked cars that simply occupy public space are at the very bottom of the priority table. In other words, if you want to stand, pay. This is exactly what is said on the pages of the project, which is designed to cope with the problem of “chaotic parking” on the capital’s streets.

The parking rules in the center of Moscow are simple to the point of banality - the car can be parked wherever the rules or relevant regulations do not prohibit it. road signs. If you do not follow this norm, then be sure to add to the statistics of evacuees for wrong parking car - about 1300 rubles per day.

You can pay for parking through the parking meter

Majority shopping centers in Moscow they provide free parking spaces, but there are also those (they are located inside the Third Transport Ring) where only the first hours of parking are free. There are also some little parking tricks: you can leave your car in the Moscow Hotel parking lot if you buy at least something in one of the many local boutiques.

Subtleties of the question

Under no circumstances do you have the right to trample the grass on the lawn with the tires of your car. True, the amount of the administrative fine for this is different everywhere, because these fines are set by local governments.

If you parked your car, but only drove a little onto the curb, then law enforcement will definitely regard this as full-fledged parking on the sidewalk. For the convenience of one wheel - a fine and evacuation of the “steel horse” to the “penalty stable”.

Imagine that you left your car on the sidewalk. According to current legislation, for violating the rules of parking or stopping on the sidewalk, which entails creating obstacles to the movement of pedestrians, you can be fined two times the minimum wage. But the fact of creating obstacles still needs to be proven. But if there is no fact, there is no corpus delicti. However, compliance with the law should be at the forefront of all such situations.

Today, traffic cops use devices called “Parcon”, which independently detect and record violations of parking rules. After this, drivers receive “chain letters”. So don't leave it to chance and beware of the newfangled gadgets that law enforcement officers are armed with.

If you want to know what kind of person this person is, look at how he parks his car!

In order not to lose money (fines, payment for towing and storage in a parking lot), time and nerve cells, try to get along with this capricious lady, whose name is “Parking”. Remember the patience of the legendary Noah, who, on his ark full of passengers, searched for parking until he found it near the majestic Ararat. Respect the law, pedestrians and your fellow drivers, and you will always find parking space under the sun.

A public transport stop is a dangerous zone where many people constantly gather and stop minibuses, buses, trolleybuses.

Unfortunately, many drivers passenger cars transport forget about the ban on stopping and parking in these places, creating additional interference and increasing the danger of the site. And while some do this consciously, some drivers are simply not aware of the rules that apply to bus stops.

Parking and valet parking at the bus stop

Paragraph 12.4 of the traffic rules indicates that parking and parking on the territory of a bus stop is prohibited. The same rule applies to the adjacent area - 15 meters before and the same after the stop. The distance is measured from sign 5.16 or road markings.

What does the concept of "parking" mean? This is when the car is stationary for more than 5 minutes. In this case, the driver may be in the car or absent. Parking is defined as parking for a period exceeding 5 minutes, regardless of engine operation.

Is stopping allowed?

Stopping involves short-term parking (up to 5 minutes). But even this is prohibited at bus stops. There are only two exceptions provided for in paragraph 12.4 of the traffic rules:

Boarding or disembarking passengers.

Stopping is permitted provided that the car does not interfere with public transport and waiting people.

The listed rules apply not only to passenger cars, but also to other buses that are not public transport. For example, corporate transport from a factory can drop off passengers at a bus stop, and this will not be considered a violation.

But there is one important condition - stopping is allowed provided that there is no sign 3.27, which prohibits any type of stop, even to disembark passengers.

When is there no fine?

There are several situations when stopping or even parking at a bus stop is not considered a violation, and the driver does not face a fine. This:

the driver is feeling unwell (for example, he has a heart attack or suddenly darkened his vision);

maneuver to prevent an accident (for example, when a car drifts onto oncoming lane);

car breakdown requiring an emergency stop.

In any of the above cases, the driver must stop and display a sign emergency stop and fix problems. If the driver becomes ill, you need to signal to other road users or pedestrians.

In case of any breakdowns you can stop in the wrong places:

steering malfunction or brake system;

windshield wiper malfunctions in bad weather;

malfunctions lighting fixtures(especially in dark time days).

The listed breakdowns are a good reason for parking and troubleshooting. If necessary, you can call a tow truck or a mobile team of auto mechanics.

Punishment for violation

And now about the punishment for violating parking rules bus stops. It is provided for in Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

Stopping or parking without interfering with public transport - 1000 rubles;

Parking obstructing pedestrians or public transport - a fine of 2,000 rubles.

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the fine for these offenses is higher - 3 thousand rubles.

But a fine is not the only punishment provided for the violator. If the driver parks at a stop and leaves the car, the car will be towed to the impound lot. In this case, you will have to pay significantly more. In this case, you can be absent for only a few minutes - road police and tow trucks work quickly - 10 minutes are enough to detain a car.

What should I tell the inspector?

If you violated traffic rules and parked at a bus stop or less than 15 meters before or after the sign, your actions depend on the reason for such a maneuver. The traffic police inspector who approaches will need to explain that the car is broken. Be prepared to prove it - the police don't take your word for it.

If there is no valid reason for stopping, you should expect a report and a fine to be drawn up. The traffic police inspector will have to record the violation and collect testimony from witnesses. In this case, it is almost impossible to avoid punishment. To avoid paying fines, you need to follow traffic rules and not ignore the signs.

12.1. Stopping and parking of vehicles is permitted on right side of the road on the side of the road, and in its absence - on the roadway at its edge and in the cases established by paragraph 12.2 of the Rules - on the sidewalk.

On the left side of the road, stopping and parking are permitted in populated areas on roads with one lane for each direction without tram tracks in the middle and on one-way roads ( trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons, only stopping for loading or unloading is permitted on the left side of one-way roads).

12.2. It is allowed to park the vehicle in one row parallel to the edge of the roadway. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer may be parked in two rows.
