Just a couple of years ago, in Moscow there were only 200 thousand garages and parking spaces owned by citizens - with a total number of registered cars of 5 million. That is, only 4% of the capital’s vehicle fleet is provided with legal storage space. The rest of the cars are parked wherever necessary, mainly in the courtyards of those apartment buildings where their owners actually live. Many people conflict with their neighbors over it, reinforcing their claims by the fact that this is their yard.

But now such parking runs counter to the requirements of Article 6.4. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation “Violation of sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the operation of residential premises and public premises, buildings, structures and transport” and entails a fine of 500 to 1000 rubles for citizens, and if a legal entity is located in a residential building and its employee parks in the yard in If you park your car in a guest parking lot, the fine will be from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles or the activities of the legal entity may be suspended. This is relevant for small businesses, for example, pizzerias located on the ground floors of residential buildings.

As is usually the case, the severity of the punishment in this case is offset by an extremely weak level of control. In order to make a decision under Article 6.4. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, employees of regulatory authorities, in this case Rospotrebnadzor, need to conduct an entire investigation, including determining the identity of the driver who parked the car in front of an apartment building, establishing data about his place of residence, as well as a number of other actions. And so on for each car. Of course, none of the resources of this organization will be enough to force car owners to vacate the parking lot in front of the house for guests.

But everything can change if the administration of this article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is given: it is enough to just take a photo of the car’s license plate and obtain information about the place of registration of the owner of the vehicle in order to issue a fine automatically. Parked in your yard? Pay 500 rubles. You can, for example, order windshield wipers to fine car owners who dare to park their cars in their yard by arming them with smartphones. Or this matter can be handled by various “assistants” who don’t even need to be given smartphones - they already have them. Recently, a milestone was broken in Moscow: 1 million digital denunciations were written. Stalin's times are still far away, but we will definitely pass the 4 million mark soon.

True, no one has canceled the banal way of circumventing this norm - parking in a neighboring yard, when residents of neighboring houses park in each other's houses. It is virtually impossible to prove that there was no mass visiting of neighbors. But the question remains open: who needed to make 96% of Russian motorists violators?

Every person who lives in a multi-storey building and owns a vehicle should know that there are special rules according to which one must park. And these are not the whims of those who do not have cars. Let's see what they are, the rules for parking in courtyards. There are many nuances and important points, and it is advisable to pay attention to everything.

Why were these rules invented?

Indeed, a completely logical question. After all, it is much more convenient to park the car the way you want. Typically as close to the house or your window as possible. You will be able to watch your car from the window of your apartment, and if necessary, you don’t have to go far. But have you ever thought that not everyone likes it? Most likely, you are not the only one who has personal transport. There are quite a lot of such people in the entrance, and if everyone parks the car the way he wants, this will significantly complicate access to the entrance, for example, by ambulance, police, or fire. And those who don’t have a car are unlikely to be happy - they will have to breathe your exhaust fumes and constantly not sleep because of the noise of the running engine. This is why the rules for parking in courtyards were invented. Now let's look at all the nuances.

Parking in the courtyard of an apartment building: what not to do

First, let's talk about what is strictly prohibited. Firstly, you cannot park your vehicle on lawns and sidewalks, as these areas are intended for pedestrians, not your cars. It is also strictly prohibited to block free passage.

Therefore, the car must be parked in a specially designated place, of course, if there is one. Consequently, other cars, as well as ambulances, police, fire, and gas services must have free access to each entrance of a multi-story building. It is worth paying attention to the presence of shops near your home. You cannot park your vehicle closer than 10 meters from the doors of such an establishment. This is due to the fact that a car with goods may arrive, but the road will be blocked. If your car sits in the wrong place for too long, then there is a high probability that a special service will arrive and take the vehicle to a impound lot, or angry residents of the house will damage your car.

cars in the yards

And now I would like to talk about how and where you need to place your iron horse. that there are a lot of options here, the majority still prefer to do what is convenient for them, but as practice shows, complaints from neighbors come very quickly, as do broken car windows, damaged paintwork, broken wheels, etc. unpleasant moments. You probably haven’t thought about the fact that there are special parking rules. Traffic rules, clause 26.2. “About parking in a residential area.” It clearly states that the vehicle must be parked in specially designated areas. There are several options here. This could be paid parking near your house or special places directly in the yard where you are required to park your car. As practice shows, there are always not enough such places, and in most cases, they simply do not exist.

What should car owners do?

In fact, it is unlikely that you will be able to get a dozen more parking spaces in the yard. Therefore, you need to either use paid parking or park your car in a garage. But if there is neither one nor the other, and the transport still needs to be placed somewhere, then you need to look for a place. In addition, the new rules for parking in courtyards state that it is forbidden to leave vehicles in the wrong place in the courtyard, as this violates the law “On Parking and Parking.” But don't worry, there is a way out. You need to go to the traffic police and explain the situation. In any case, employees must respond, even if not immediately. And naturally, you must understand that if your vehicle is parked where it does not disturb anyone, then any problems are unlikely to arise. You can talk to your neighbors or install a proper silencer that won't wake people up in the middle of the night. In addition, modern cars operate quite quietly.

A little more about what is prohibited

Despite the fact that a lot has already been said, modern rules for parking a car in courtyards still provide for a lot of things. In particular, you are not allowed to park your car in close proximity to garbage containers. This makes it difficult for the corresponding service to access. The minimum distance should be about five meters. As for sidewalks, it was noted that vehicles cannot be parked on them. But if there is a permission sign, then this can be done. Although this is extremely rare. Please note that you can park a car or motorcycle on the edge of the sidewalk. But for a pedestrian to move freely there should still be about two meters left.

A few important points

You must understand that parking with the engine running is prohibited. If the time exceeds more than 5 minutes, then it is quite possible to get a fine for this. The exception is loading/unloading something or boarding passengers. Problems may also arise due to the fact that you left the car where it interferes with a pedestrian, as this is prohibited by traffic regulations. The rules for parking in yards state that specially designated spaces must be used for this. If you own a GAZelle or other vehicle whose total weight exceeds 3.5 tons, then such a vehicle must be parked in specially designated areas. It is prohibited to install parking barriers without authorization, as this must be done by special services. If the traffic police inspector records this, then there will be a lot of problems.

A little about parking requirements

As already noted a little above, you do not have the right to create a parking space for yourself. Therefore, everything must be provided for by the relevant services. Even at the design stage, a parking space should be included in the builders’ plans. This is about 50 places per house. All rules and regulations must be strictly observed, since repeated violations of parking rules in yards lead to serious fines, and this, you see, is not very pleasant. The construction of so-called parking garages for 100 cars is allowed. In fact, you can build a garage for your car 10 meters from your apartment building. If there are no windows and no exit from the side of the building, then this distance can be reduced to 7.5 meters. Therefore it is very close. But before construction, do not forget to coordinate everything.

What else do you need to know

Always ensure that your vehicle does not interfere with both cars and pedestrians. You can park the car under your window, of course, if other neighbors don’t mind. As for temporary stops, there can be no problems here. If you leave your car in your own garage at night and in the yard for a couple of hours during the day, then you are unlikely to receive complaints, especially if you follow parking rules. In this case, the traffic rules allow leaving the vehicle for a short period of time. Respect, again, other road users. If you park your car in one space, be kind enough not to occupy other people's spaces, as this may cause resentment among your neighbors, and this will not end well. Basically, if your car is quiet, doesn't bother anyone, and you don't warm up the engine near open windows, then you can be 90% sure that there won't be any complaints.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to say that parking in the courtyard of an apartment building is quite simple, especially if there is a specially designated place nearby. If not, then it is quite possible that there is a paid parking lot nearby, where your car will be in good hands. Of course, parking rules in the courtyards of residential buildings must be followed. This way you will deprive yourself of problems and unnecessary quarrels with your neighbors. Of course, if there is nowhere to put the transport, then try to at least not disturb others, and the rest is no longer your concern.

So we have dealt with a rather sensitive topic for most motorists. We have answered all frequently asked questions, and you now know that there are rules for parking in the courtyards of residential buildings, and it is advisable to comply with them to the maximum. Although you may notice that not everyone does this, and most simply ignore them.

Parking a car is required in accordance with the established list of rules and regulations. Any violations in this area may result in liability and penalties. There are several legislative acts that regulate all the main issues related to parking spaces in the courtyard of a residential building. Additionally, on January 1, 2020, a new order of the Ministry of Transport comes into force, tightening the requirements for commercial transport. The rules must be followed by all persons, since violations lead to a large number of negative consequences.

The placement of vehicles in yards is regulated by several acts and laws. Among them:

• , which indicates the need to comply with a number of norms and rules of a sanitary and epidemiological nature;
• SanPiN 2.2.1/2.1.1.1200-03 on sanitary protection zones and similar facilities;
• , establishing the procedure for privatization of a parking space and other issues related to it;
• , in particular .

All rules and regulations are established at the federal level using the specified regulatory framework. But it is also worth considering regional acts, which can supplement basic federal laws with recommendations and regulations.

Sanitary standards define all the main points related to the placement of vehicles and the behavior of car owners. List of rules:

• parking for 10 vehicles must be at least 10 meters away from the parking bay;
• when placing 50 vehicles, full compliance with all regulations and the arrangement of a special site, which will be located 15 meters from the residential property, is required;
• if there are from 51 to 100 vehicles, then the interval is increased to 25 meters;
• if there are 101-300 cars, the distance cannot be less than 35 meters from a residential building.

If the space exceeds 300 units, the object should not be located closer than 50 meters.

Important! To arrange a parking lot, it is necessary to privatize the adjacent territory to homeowners. At the same time, the consent of at least 75% of the residents is required, as well as the collection of all necessary documentation. If these requirements are not taken into account, the arrangement of the parking lot will be illegal.

If some owners in the form of residents are against the formation of parking spaces, then you can file a properly filed complaint with one of the government agencies:

• environmental service;
• sanitary or fire inspection;
• regional engineering service.

When constructing a facility and forming a local area, developers are recommended to immediately determine a location for parking spaces. This point needs to be considered at the stage of creating the plan.

For owners who buy real estate, it is recommended, if necessary, to first verify the availability of parking spaces before purchasing the living space.

Fines for illegal parking in the yard

Incorrect parking is a violation, since the regulations also include traffic rules, and leads to a fine. Basic moments

• The vehicle, if the engine is running, can stand for no more than 5 minutes. This time is considered sufficient for disembarking a passenger or unloading a car. A similar option would be to warm up the engine. Depending on the locality, the fine can vary between 1500-3000 rubles. But only a traffic police officer can issue it;
• a heavy vehicle weighing more than 3.5 tons cannot be parked in the yard, since there are special areas and parking lots for such vehicles. A fine is issued in the amount of 1500-3000 rubles;
• Parking a car on the sidewalk is prohibited. Such an offense can lead to a fine of 2,000 rubles and the towing of the car. At the same time, you will have to pay for a tow truck in the future. This is established in a number of acts, including paragraph 3;
• if passage is obstructed, including for special vehicles, the fine varies from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles. It is installed by the inspector depending on the danger that has arisen;
• Parking closer than 5 meters to garbage cans is prohibited, as this prevents utility services from carrying out work. The sanction will be imposed depending on the specific situation. The fine amount is 2-5 thousand rubles.

It is worth considering that if there is a lack of space and parking on the local lawn, owners can contact the relevant authorities to bring the driver to justice.

On a note! Fines may vary depending on the region, as well as the category of owner. For example, an official, like a legal entity, has a large fine.

If an official does not allow special transport in the form of a fire truck or ambulance to pass, then he will have to pay up to 10,000, and to a legal entity up to 150,000 rubles.

You also need to remember that in cities of federal significance, in particular St. Petersburg and Moscow, fines are higher.

In order for a fine to be issued, it is not necessary for a traffic police officer to appear, since violations are often recorded using video and photographs. In practice this happens as follows:

A witness to the violation records it and reports it to the traffic police. Next, the sent files or special clamps are viewed, if they are available in that yard. The violator receives a fine. If there is a danger to others, then immediately after the message a patrol is sent to the place, which is already sorted out on the spot and, if necessary, evacuates the car.

Where to complain about parking violations in courtyards

Where to complain depends on the type of violation. If sanitary standards are not met, you can contact:

• fire or sanitary inspection;
• engineering or environmental services;
• house management, if available.

In case of violation of traffic rules, the application is made to the traffic police. This can be done by calling, coming in person, or uploading materials recording the crime to a special portal.

Illegal parking must be recorded. For this reason, a standard procedure has been established:

• the violation is recorded using photos or videos;
• the traffic police inspector is called;
• All materials are transferred, as well as, if possible, the details of the offender and the license plate number of the vehicle.

If there are several violators, then materials will be required for each car separately.

You need to remember that if fire safety rules are violated, a fire inspector can also issue a fine. Such cases are common if it is not possible to get to the source of the fire due to improperly positioned vehicles.

Important! The management company that deals with public utilities can independently report violations to the authorities. In particular, when vehicles are close to containers and it is impossible to carry out waste collection activities.

What to do if your car is blocked/locked in the yard

Closing a passage or blocking a car is a violation provided for in. The fine in ordinary regions can reach 2 thousand, and in federal cities - 3,000 rubles.

If there is no driver’s license plate and the driver himself is missing, then you need to take a photo of the violation and then report it to the traffic police. An inspector will come to the scene, issue a fine for the owner and, if necessary, call a tow truck.

How to organize parking in the local area

The organization of parking spaces begins with a meeting of residents and approval of the corresponding decision with the consent of at least 75% of the owners.

• Further procedure:
• appointment of an initiative group that will deal with the process;
• collection of documents;
• if necessary, contact the HOA. An example would be two houses next to a common yard;

transfer of documents to local authorities.

After the process is completed, you need to wait for a decision. If it is positive, then the parking lot is equipped according to the required criteria.

Attention! There must be a suitable area in the local area. If it is not there, parking will not be approved. For example, instead of a children's playground, the authorities will not allow parking areas for cars.

Where to get permission

First of all, you will need to contact the district department that deals with land resources and land management. In a municipality this could be a committee or a department. If permission has been received from the department, then you should submit the documents to the traffic police and the architecture committee.

It is worth considering that all appeals have a written form in the form of an application indicating data on the HOA, the applicant and the local area. Additionally, upon first application, a request for the allocation of a plot of land is indicated.

Developing a plan will require the services of a specialist. The project will have a plan for the local area with a designated parking space. Construction begins only when the project is agreed upon with the owners.

Places for disabled people have their own characteristics, in particular, they are marked with a special sign, as well as a platform width of at least 3.5 meters. This requirement must be complied with to ensure that there is no interference for a person with disabilities or reduced maneuverability.

Preparation of necessary documentation

The collection of documents begins with the minutes of the general meeting. All residents who were present and agree with the decision must sign it. Additionally, consent will need to be obtained from persons who were absent.

After this, you need to obtain a certificate about the composition of the local area. It is issued at the inventory department or at the local municipality.

According to the law, the placement of vehicles in the courtyard of a residential building must fully comply with traffic rules and sanitary standards. If there are violations, a fine is issued to the owner. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account that for permanent parking of cars, a parking lot is required, which has been registered in accordance with all the rules.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation banned motorists from leaving their cars near the entrance. This precedent occurred after Muscovite Roman Teplinichev appealed to the court. In his opinion, cars in yards disturb residents, pollute the air and restrict the movement of mothers with strollers. In this regard, the enterprising man studied the legislation and found SanPiN standards, which state that:

2.10. In the courtyards of residential buildings it is prohibited to place any trade and public catering establishments, including tents, kiosks, stalls, mini-markets, pavilions, summer cafes, industrial facilities, small repair enterprises for cars, household appliances, shoes, as well as parking lots except for guest ones.

It follows from the rules that near the house, without complying with the requirements for distance from the windows of the house and children's playgrounds, it is possible to equip places only for guest parking. This was not enough for the man; he wanted to completely get rid of cars in the yard.

The Supreme Court did not side with Roman Teplinichev. But nevertheless, he decided:

Guest parking does not violate this rule; no provision of current legislation contains a ban on them.

Parking in the yard should be for guest use only. Residents of the house do not have the right to place cars on them permanently. Those who use the local area as a permanent parking place violate SanPiN.

The man was unable to cancel the already established norms, but the court’s decision created a lot of noise in social networks and the media. Will residents really not be able to park cars in their own local area?

Is it still possible to park cars in yards?

According to SanPin, you can park cars in yards, but only for a while. Residents can also place permanent parking that meets all requirements. They are also indicated in special SanPiN:

Those. Permanent parking for 11 cars can be made at least 15 meters from the windows of a residential building. If parking is organized according to the rules, taking into account these distances, no one can prohibit leaving a car there. It is legal.

What threatens violators?

If permanent parking is too close to the house, this is an administrative offense and a reason for a fine. If the parking was organized by a management company or a homeowners association, they can be involved. Legal entities face a fine of ten to twenty thousand rubles, if the residents themselves violate it - from 500 to 1000 rubles.

However, in order to issue a fine, the fact of violation must first be recorded and then proven in court.

What the experts say

The decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation caused concern among residents of high-rise buildings. Kommersant quotes the opinion of Konstantin Krokhin, chairman of the Union of Moscow Housing Organizations:

You can’t turn a yard into a parking lot, but you can allow vehicles to be stored there temporarily: a person comes home from work, parks it for the night, and leaves in the morning. If, for example, you have been deprived of your license for a year and the car is parked in the yard, you must move it to another location.

There is still a lot of confusion surrounding this issue. However, many federal media outlets suggest that a ban on parking in courtyards could lead to the emergence of new paid parking lots in municipal territories near residential buildings.

Moreover, on December 30 the new law “On the Organization of Road Traffic” comes into force. It gives local authorities full powers to install traffic lights and road signs, apply markings, etc.

Local administrations also receive another important right. They will be able to limit, or even completely prohibit, traffic on certain sections of roads at their discretion. True, at the same time they are obliged to provide duplicating and compensating public transport routes.

Myslo readers, what do you think, is it worth removing cars from yards altogether? Share your opinion in the comments.

"Tell me who your friend is and I will tell you who you are."
A truth you can't argue with.
But knowledgeable people say that you can get to know a person better by the way he parks.

In general, the parking issue is very popular for Russia, because sometimes driving a car is not much cheaper than parking it. 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 strictly regulated by the Traffic Rules. 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

Photo masterok.livejournal.com

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 give up 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.

Photo: mashinapro.ru

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...

Photo huffpost.com

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

And someone - how can.

Photo drive2.ru

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?

The current Road 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, 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

Photo auto.vesti.ru

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 courtyards: 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 of high voltage that arises between residents. However, there is a set of general rules that any driver must follow.

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, it is impossible to block the passage that impedes the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians. Sidewalks in yards are also a taboo area for car owners.

Sometimes in the courtyards there is a “parking nonsense”

Photo zyalt.livejournal.com

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 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, trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons are completely discriminated against in relation to yard parking.

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. As soon as a city reaches a high level of motorization, it automatically abandons the “free parking” regulation. 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 rules for parking in the center of Moscow are simple to the point of banality - you can park your car wherever the rules or relevant road signs do not prohibit it. If you do not follow this norm, then be sure to add to the statistics of those evacuated for improper parking of a car - about 1,300 rubles per day.

Most shopping centers in Moscow provide free parking spaces, but there are also some (located inside the Third Ring Road) 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'll always find a parking space in the sun.
