Like any Law, the Rules begin any section of it with general principles , and they are necessarily followed by those dictated by life exceptions.
First general principle.
First of all, the Regulations required drivers to park only on the right side of the road . Moreover, if there is a roadside, stopping and parking are allowed. only on the sidelines (stopping on the carriageway in the presence of a shoulder is a violation of the Rules).
On any roadoutside the villagethis requirement is categorical and does not contain any exceptions.
And there are such questions in the Tickets:
1. Only car B. 2. Cars B and C. 3. All cars. Task comment Drivers of cars B and C violate. If there is a roadside, stopping is allowed only on the roadside! Note. Here I must remind you that on high-quality roads, the side of the road is covered with the same asphalt as the carriageway, and is separated from the carriageway by a wide continuous line of markings. And this continuous line is not just possible, but must be crossed if the driver intends to park. |
In the Rules, this general principle is formulated as follows:
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.1. Stopping and parking of vehicles are allowedon the right side of the road on the side of the road, and in its absence -on the roadwayat its edge.
It follows that if the shoulder is narrow, it is possible to park partially on the carriageway.
If there is no curb at all, then we park completely on the carriageway, but only exactly at the edge of the carriageway. There are no questions about this on the Tickets, but the practical driving test always ends with the same thing - the inspector invites you to stop. And if, stopping, hit the curb of the sidewalk - this is a mistake. And if you stop more than 30 cm from the curb, this is also a mistake - you are not stopping at the edge of the carriageway!
So, outside settlements, always and everywhere, stopping is allowed. just on the right side of the road!
As for the settlements, here the Rules were forced to make two whole exceptions.
Exception # 1 (valid only in localities).
In order for the left side to become the right, you need to turn around.
But on one-way roads, a U-turn is not possible!
Such an act is qualified as driving into an oncoming lane. in violation of the Rules and is punishable by deprivation of rights for up to six months!
Naturally, the Rules allowed parking on such roads both on the right side and on the left. And now none of the drivers violates the Rules, stopping on different sides of the one-way road.
Exception # 2 (valid only in localities).
U-turns are not prohibited on two-way roads. But if there are only two lanes (one in each direction), then on such a road it is sometimes difficult to make a U-turn due to the cramped conditions.
On such a road, the rules decided that, for safety reasons, it would be better to allow drivers to park on either side.
So now on this road no one breaks the Rules either.
It should be remembered that such a democratic order is established by the Rules only in settlements and only on two-lane roads, and only without tram tracks in the middle.
The Rules say about this in the same clause 12.1:
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.1, second paragraph. Stopping and parking are permitted on the left side of the road in settlements on roads with one lane for each direction without tram lines in the middle and on one-way roads.
And they will definitely ask about this on the exam:
1. Only in. 2. Only B and C. 3. In any of the above. Task comment On a two-lane road without tram lines and with a discontinuous center line in a settlement, it is allowed to park on either side and in any direction. |
In what place and direction are you allowed to stop?Second general principle.
Parking is allowed everywhere and everywhere only in one row and only parallel to the edge of the carriageway.
In the Rules, it looks like this:
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.2. It is allowed to park the vehicle in one row parallel to the edge of the carriageway. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer may be parked in two rows.
This requirement of the Rules applies to all cases. And in the settlement (even in the "pocket"), and outside the settlement (even if the shoulder is wide), parking is allowed only in one row and only parallel to the edge of the roadway.
And about this, there is one problem in Tickets:
1. Can. 2. It is possible if this does not interfere with the movement of other vehicles. 3. It is forbidden. |
Is it possible for the driver to park the car in the specified way?
I would especially like to draw your attention! - even in the "pocket" (local widening of the carriageway) it is necessary to park only in one row and only parallel to the edge of the carriageway.
But this, of course, is not all. Then again there are exceptions.
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.2, second paragraph. The way the vehicle is parked (parking) is determined by sign 6.4 and road marking lines, sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.6.1 - 8.6.9 and road marking lines or without them.
In fact, to begin with, they once again reminded the drivers - even in the "pockets", if there are no additional instructions, it is allowed to park the vehicle only parallel to the edge of the carriageway!
However, if there is a sign, then the requirement of the sign must be fulfilled.
If there is a markup, then the markup requirement must be met.
And even more so, it is necessary to follow the instructions given by both the plate and the markup.
It would seem that complete order has been restored, and you can calm down on this. But the authors of the Rules considered it necessary to include one more requirement in clause 12.2:
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.2, third paragraph. The combination of sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.6.4 - 8.6.9, as well as with road marking lines, allows the vehicle to be parked at an angle to the edge of the carriageway if the configuration (local widening) of the carriageway allows such an arrangement.
Table 8.6.4 - 8.6.9 is this:
As you can see on these plates, in all cases, it is proposed to park the car strictly perpendicular the edge of the carriageway. And the tablets « at an angle to the edge of the carriageway " in the Rules no. How to be? How to organize parking " at an angle to the edge of the carriageway ". It remains only to call for the help of the markup, which the Rules did.
Parking at an angle to the edge of the carriageway is allowed only if the following mandatory conditions are met:
a). There is a sign 6.4 "Parking";
b). There is one of the plates 8.6.4 - 8.6.9;
v). There is a "oblique" markup.
If the markup is straight ...
... or there are no markings at all, then parking at an angle to the edge of the carriageway is a violation of the Rules.
In both latter cases, the car can be evacuated!
But that's not all. The rules went for one more exception from the general principles. Moreover, the exception is cardinal - allowed parking on the sidewalk!
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.2, fourth paragraph. Parking on the edge of the sidewalk bordering the carriageway is permitted only for cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles in the places indicated by sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.4.7, 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.6.6 - 8.6.9.
These are the signs:
Table 8.4.7 is called "Vehicle type", that is, parking is allowed only bicycles.
The other six tablets are called "Method of parking a vehicle."
How should this be understood? The rules made an exception - allowed to stand in whole or in part on the sidewalk.
But at the same time, they introduced severe restrictions. First, they showed (using the example of a car) how to park vehicles. Only this way and nothing else!
And, secondly, not everyone was allowed to stand like this, but only cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles.
And we have already talked about this in topic 3.8 "Signs of additional information (plates)". The vast majority of the requirements of the Rules equally apply to all representatives of category "B", both for cars and small and medium trucks (no more than 3.5 tons).
But not parking on the sidewalk!
Not a single truck, with any permissible maximum weight,
not a single wheel, not under any signs
has no right to stand on the sidewalk!
And this must be remembered both in life and on the exam:
Until now, it has only been about parking lot . What about stop ? Is it really necessary to pile up on the sidewalk to disembark a passenger?
No, nothing like that! Rules about stop in the area of action of the signs "Method of placing the vehicle in the parking lot" they did not say anything at all. And what is not prohibited is allowed! That is, in the area of action of any of these signs stop possible at the edge of the carriageway (following the general principle), and stop can anyone.
They also ask about this on the exam, however, only once:
1. Allowed. 2. Permitted if the permissible maximum vehicle weight is not more than 3.5 tons. 3. Forbidden. Task comment Reread the question carefully - they are not asking you about the parking lot, but about the stop! And the Rules did not say anything about stopping in the area of effect of these signs, and, therefore, you can stop here. And they can stop any vehicles . What is not prohibited is permitted. |
Is the truck driver allowed to stop at this location?That, in fact, is all about the general principles and exceptions to them. Although guilty, there is one more general principle left:
Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.3. Parking for the purpose of long-term rest, overnight stay, etc. outside the settlement is permitted only on designated sites or off the road.
The rules did not give any guidance on what kind of rest is considered LONG. But by and large, this is not required. Common sense tells any driver that you can eat on the sidelines while sitting in the car. But if you are going to seriously “cover the clearing” and lie on the grass, then the car, of course, must be removed out of the road. And if you are going to sleep (no matter how much), then it is in your best interest to stop at a specially provided area for this.
Now about where stopping is prohibited.
First of all, stopping can be prohibited by signs or markings.
I remind you that such a yellow solid line drawn along the edge of the carriageway (or right along the curb) prohibits stopping vehicles along its entire length.
Stopping here is prohibited from the sign to the nearest intersection.
I hope you haven't forgotten yet - the sign is valid only on the side of the road on which it is installed.
In addition, the Rules contain a whole list of places where stopping is prohibited by the Rules.
Simply prohibited (no signs or markings).
1. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibitedon tram tracks, as well as in the immediate vicinity if it interferes with the movement of trams.
In this situation, the driver stopped not on the tram tracks, but so close to them that he definitely interferes with the movement of trams.
And, therefore, stopping at this place is prohibited!
In this situation, the driver has every reason to believe that he does not interfere with the movement of trams.
And, therefore, it is allowed to stop like this.
2. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibitedat level crossings and in tunnels.
I do not think that any of you will have a desire to park in a tunnel or, even more so, at a railway crossing. So let's leave this provision of the Rules without comment.
3. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibitedon overpasses, bridges, overpasses (if there are less than three lanes for movement in this direction) and under them.
You already know that on all bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them, turning, reversing and overtaking are strictly prohibited. As for the stop, here the Rules made a clarification:
- if the bridge, overpass, overpass are narrow (one or two lanes in this direction), stopping is prohibited;
- if the bridge, overpass, overpass are wide (in this direction there are three or more lanes), stopping is allowed.
And you need to know this - it will come in handy in life, and on the exam you will need:
1. Allowed. 2. Allowed only for disembarking passengers. 3. Forbidden. Task comment If the bridge is wide (three lanes or more in a given direction), stopping at such a bridge is not prohibited. You can just stop and even stand as long as you like, the Rules do not mind. |
Are you allowed to stop at the specified place on the bridge?4. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibitedat pedestrian crossings and closer than 5 meters in front of them.
A car, even a passenger car, having stopped in this way, closes the view of the pedestrian crossing. And this, as you know, is unsafe.
But this is a completely different matter - now drivers have the opportunity to timely see a pedestrian on the road.
Note! - the car standing immediately behind the crossing does not in any way interfere with the control of the situation. Therefore, the Rules contain the following requirement:
Stopping is prohibited at the pedestrian crossing itself and closer than 5 meters to it!
Directly after the stop is not prohibited at the pedestrian crossing!
Now let's remember that on a two-lane road, you can park on either side. And which of them is now standing before, who after pedestrian crossing?
To the one who parked on the left side, it seems that he is standing after pedestrian crossing. But this does not seem to the driver of an oncoming car at all - the view of the pedestrian crossing is closed! And the situation is brewing extremely dangerous.
From the point of view of the Rules, now both white cars are standing front pedestrian crossing (and no 5 meters!) and, therefore, both are in violation.
But now both are standing after pedestrian crossing, and therefore do not violate the rules.
And pay attention - how clearly the pedestrian crossing is visible to drivers of both directions!
It only remains to remind you that on one-way roads it is also allowed to park on either side.
It is clear that now everyone is moving only in this direction, and, therefore, it is impossible to park like this.
If you stop front pedestrian crossing, then no closer than 5 meters.
And this is how you can. And you can immediately after pedestrian crossing.
There are a couple of tasks on this topic in the collection of the traffic police. Armed with this knowledge, I hope that you will not make mistakes here. Although the tasks, frankly, are not easy:
1. Only car B. 2. Cars A and B. 3. Cars B and C. 4. All the vehicles listed. Task comment This is a settlement and this is a one-way road (see the sign?). Cars A and B stopped directly front pedestrian crossing (no 5 meters) and therefore violate the Rules. |
Which car drivers violated the stopping rules?
1. Only car A. 2. Cars A and B. 3. Cars A and B. 4. All cars. Task comment A two-way road. But only two-lane and no tram tracks in the middle. On such a road (in a settlement), you can stop on either side. It remains only to deal with the pedestrian crossing. Cars A and B are standing before there is no pedestrian crossing and 5 meters, therefore they violate it. |
Which car drivers violated the stopping rules?5. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibited in places wherewherethe distance between the solid marking line and the stopped vehicle is less than 3 meters.
The rules rightly believe that if the distance L less than 3 meters, then a stopped vehicle will block movement.
In this situation, in order to go around the obstacle, you will have to drive into the oncoming lane in violation of the Rules, crossing a solid marking line!
If the center line is interrupted, then there is no need to take care of 3 meters. In this case, the drivers will drive around the obstacle without any problems.
So stand still, you are not breaking anything.
And now you can calmly stop and stand. These markings also allow drivers to go around you without breaking.
But now there is a solid line to your left, and there is clearly no three meters to it. So stopping at this place is prohibited!
And no sign prohibiting stopping is required in this situation. Stopping at this place is prohibited by the Rules, namely clause 12.4.
And they ask about this at the exam.
True, they are not asking about the stop, but about the parking lot. Well then, include some basic logic:
- if left solid the line and there are no three meters to it, stopping is also prohibited, and, moreover, parking;
- if left intermittent line, then nothing is prohibited here.
1. I violated it. 2. Violated if the permissible maximum vehicle weight is more than 2.5 tons. 3. Didn't break it. Task comment It doesn't matter what its maximum allowed mass is. No lorry, with any gross vehicle weight or wheel, should be parked on the sidewalk. But now this is not even the main thing. On this section of the road, stopping is generally prohibited for all vehicles. Stopping on the carriageway is prohibited because there will not be 3 meters to the solid one, and even a bicycle can be parked on the sidewalk only if there is a permit sign. |
Has the truck driver violated the parking rules?
1. Both. 2. Car driver only. 3. Motorcycle rider only. 4. Nobody broke. Task comment Only the driver of the car violated - parking at the edge of the sidewalk can be allowed by appropriate signs, but they are not here.
And, most importantly, there was no need to climb onto the sidewalk, I could calmly stop and stand at the edge of the roadway. The centerline is not a solid line, but combined. Such markings allow you to bypass it without any violation. |
Which driver violated the parking rules?
6. Rules. Section 12. Clause 12.4. Stopping is prohibitedat the intersection of carriageways and closer than 5 meters from the edge of the crossed carriageway.
We are talking about these corners at intersections. The rules quite naturally require that drivers leave these five-meter zones free when parking.
Draw your attention! - the Rules do not say that stopping is prohibited at the crossroads. The Rules say that stopping is prohibited and closer than 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway.
And this is fundamentally important! And that's why:
1. Immediately before the intersection of carriageways. 2. Immediately after crossing carriageways. 3. Not closer than 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway. Task comment Leaving the courtyard according to the Rules is not considered an intersection. But nowhere in the Rules does it say that this is not an intersection of carriageways.
And since this is an intersection of carriageways, then when parking, it is necessary to fulfill the requirement of paragraph 12.4 of the Rules, namely: Stopping is prohibited at the intersection of carriagewaysand closer than 5 m from the edge of the intersected carriageway. |
Where should you park your car on the right side of the road?
1. Permitted. 2. It is allowed if the car is no closer than 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway. 3. It is prohibited. Task comment
And once again I would like to draw your attention! - clause 12.4 does not say that stopping is prohibited at the crossroads . It is said that stopping is prohibited at the intersection of carriageways and closer than 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway. So, if you come across this problem on the exam, keep in mind - at the crossroads You can park in a roundabout (the rules do not prohibit), you just need to drive away from the edge of the intersected carriageway by 5 m. |
Are you allowed to stay at the indicated place?
1. Only if the distance to the solid marking line is at least 3 meters. 2. Only if the distance to the edge of the intersected carriageway is at least 5 meters. 3. Subject to both of the above conditions. |
When is the driver allowed to park the car at the specified location?Stopped under the sign "parking for the disabled" to load luggage without driving the car. An inspector arrived, drew up a protocol under Article 12.19 h 2. Are the inspector's actions competent?
Of course they are. Is there such a point in the traffic rules, stopping (parking) is allowed "to load luggage without stopping the car" in the zone of action of the sign "parking for the disabled"?
and if on a sign the car is parked with its back to the curb, and I parked in front, then for this they can pick up the parking lot for a fine?
Magomed-4
Good day! I drove up to the clinic and stopped the car near the central entrance on the roadway, dropped the mother off and escorted her to the entrance, the car was started, the headlights and emergency lights were on, the time took no more than 5 minutes, the car was not taken away, but a fine of 1,500 rubles arrived, with the adjacent photo-fixation, the photo shows that the lights are on. Are the actions of the traffic police officers lawful and is it possible to appeal against the actions of the employees in court, based on Article 24.5 (paragraph 3), can this be an absolute necessity, given the fact that the mother is a disabled person of group 1, a certificate of disability is of course available. Or there are some other alternatives to appeal this fine. Thanks!
Oleg, the specified maneuver will be a violation of the rules. The punishment for him is provided for by part 1 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code - a warning or 500 rubles.
Can only be used if the vehicle interferes with other vehicles. In the situation described by you, the probability of evacuation is small.
Good luck on the road!
Magomed, Hello.
The likelihood of successfully appealing this fine is very small.
For the future. Since your mother is a disabled person, you have the right to install the "Disabled" mark on your car when transporting her. It will allow you to park your car in a designated area for disabled people. As a rule, such places are located close to the entrance to the clinic.
Good luck on the road!
Vasily-37
Good afternoon.
Situation, on the right side there is a stop sign and parking is prohibited, on the reverse side of this sign there is a similar sign, i.e., on the left side of the road, passed a sign on the left side, turned around and parked the car to the right side before reaching the sign, parking , stop, prohibited, in the direction of movement, the traffic police inspector approached and explained that the sign on the back side is also prohibitive and it does not matter that the car is parked in the direction of traffic, i.e., on the right side, although the sign seems to be not visible, or more precisely it is not visible at all, but it works like a prohibiting sign that stands on the right side.
Is the punishment by the traffic police inspector legitimate, arguing that the warrior should look at both the right and left sides
Alexander-312
good afternoon.
The situation is this - there is a road in two rows in both directions, only a double solid road from the markings, which is not visible in winter due to snow, you cannot get up at the curb because of the poorly cleaned roadway, if you park as close as possible to the right, then the solid is less than 3 meters (1.5 meters). Is this parking a traffic violation?
Basil, Hello.
In this case, you saw the sign on the left side and stopped in its area of effect. So the punishment was rightfully imposed. Most likely on this section of the road there is one more sign "no stopping", but you did not reach it.
Good luck on the road!
Alexander, Hello.
If the markings are not visible, then it is impossible to measure the distance to it. In the described situation, the driver stops at the right edge of the carriageway in accordance with the requirements of the traffic rules.
Good luck on the road!
Evgeniya-38
Good afternoon. Please tell me, a fine has arrived for a stop where a stop sign is installed and parking is prohibited, the violation interval is one second. Is the vehicle considered to be stopped in the interval of 1 second?
Evgeniya-38
No, no alarm
On the street - where I live - there is a sign for the residential area. On the sidewalk, drivers constantly park their cars at night and during the day. There are no parking signs. When asked to remove the cars, I react rudely - I don't see the sidewalk, I saw the other way ... The traffic police, they will come and go and stuff like that. Is it legal? How to deal with this?
call a tow truck and traffic police. The traffic police are obliged to record the fact of the violation, and the tow truck is obliged to take the car to the fine-parking lot. In case of inactivity, complain to higher authorities.
Chimka. Let them put them in garages - no garage - let them buy - as you advise me to buy a house. Where should we go? Climb the bushes? We have parking lots. It's not enough for them.
Nikolay-66
Maxim, I want to ask you a question to which I cannot find an answer anywhere.
Namely: is it prohibited or allowed, in accordance with clause 12.2, paragraph 4, of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, to stop or park ALL vehicles in the places indicated by sign 6.4 and plate 8.6.4 or 8.6.5?
Paragraph 4, clause 12.2 reads: "Parking at the edge of the sidewalk, ...., is allowed ONLY passenger cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles, in the places marked with sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.4.7, 8.6.2, 8.6.3 , ____, ____, 8.6.6-8.6.9 "(note that tables 8.6.4 and 8.6.5 are absent in this rule).
Paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 do not give an answer to this question, since there the conversation is about any vehicle.
So it turns out that when sign 6.4 is combined with plates 8.6.4 or 8.6.5, parking is not prohibited for ALL vehicles? Am I correct in my reasoning?
With respect, Nicholai.
The paragraph is dedicated to parking at the edge of the sidewalk. Signs 8.6.4 and 8.6.5 indicate the way of setting off the sidewalk, therefore they are not mentioned in this paragraph. The way of setting off the sidewalk is described in the previous paragraph, where signs 8.6.1 - 8.6.9 are mentioned without exception. In addition, additional restrictions on the type of vehicle are contained in the description of the signs 8.6.2 - 8.6.9: "8.6.2 - 8.6.9 indicate the way cars and motorcycles are parked in the sidewalk parking lot."
Thus, in the aggregate, it turns out that if 6.4 is equipped with a plate 8.6.1, then any vehicle can be parked. If there is a plate 8.6.2 - 8.6.9, then only cars and motorcycles can be installed in this way. Moreover, although this is not directly indicated in the traffic rules, the position of the current authorities is such that other types of vehicles cannot be installed at all in the area of effect of plates 8.6.2 - 8.6.9, neither according to the plate, nor parallel to the edge of the inverter. Including pickups based on passenger cars, if the type of cargo body is indicated in the registration certificate.
Which item ALLOWS THE TRUCK (over 3.5 t) to STAND on the left side?
Wowochka, clause 12.1 permits the truck to stop on the left side of the road. Where exactly do you see the problem?
Hello! Tell me how to do it, the situation is this: I wanted to park, looked for a place, did not estimate correctly the "dimensions" to the sign and turned it into a parking space for disabled people, immediately noticed it and began to take it back to find another place, at this moment an inspector runs up The traffic police, and begins to take pictures, I explain to him that I do not park, but he doesn’t care - in the end I wrote out a decree, all of which I agree with, can I challenge, and what “data” can I rely on !?
I am on maternity leave, my husband works alone and for us this fine is completely out of place! And in general, over 7.5 years of driving experience, this is the first violation, and then out of stupidity ((
Evgeniy-272
If we proceed from the definition of what "Parking" is (if there were signs 6.4 and 8.17, and not 3.27 and 8.18), then according to traffic rules it is (clipping): Parking (parking space) "- a specially marked and, if necessary, equipped and equipped place .... and intended for an organized parking !!! vehicles ... "It turns out that the stop (time up to 5 minutes ... etc.) is not a parking. It means that there is no violation.
You can try to approach from the other side. The photo does not reflect whether the car is standing or in motion. It will always reflect a stationary object. In order to prove that the car was standing and not moving, video filming is needed. If my memory serves me, then on this occasion there was even some kind of decree related to the fact that if there is not sufficient evidence of the driver's guilt, then the driver should be considered not guilty (somehow this is how it is expressed, I don’t remember exactly). So try to appeal. I just think that the case will have to be brought to court, the traffic cops will most likely defend their own. And don't waste the appeal deadline.
Good day. Please tell me this is the situation. Parked overnight with 4 wheels behind the curb from the sidewalk (facing a tree along the road, between the main sidewalk, where people walk and the road). My car does not bother anyone, neither pedestrians, nor anyone. The place of my parking, although it is separated by a curb from the road, is on the same level with it (it does not rise). I live opposite across the street from the parking place and there were no other parking places. The car was evacuated at half past three in the morning. There are no signs prohibiting parking.
Was my car legally evacuated or could only be fined !? Is it possible to appeal this moment in court somehow?
No. The asphalt is separated by a curb from the road, but at the same level with the road.
Art. 12.19 h.3 parking on the sidewalk.
George-28
Hello!
We have a parking island near the house (there are markings). People walk through the island, as it borders on the intersection of two roads and there are pedestrian crossings. I left the car outside the marking zone (but next to it), the car was taken to an impound parking lot. They wrote that "Parking on the sidewalk." As proof - 50-100cm from the car there is a tile "for the blind" (which is placed in front of the "zebras"). Plus they said that the fact that this so-called sidewalk is flush with the roadway is not important, since there is a curbstone (the entire island is fenced off with it).
I will certainly try to protest, but is there a chance?
Alex if there really is a sidewalk, then the fine and evacuation are legal. However, if in court you prove that there is no sidewalk in this place, then the fine and money for evacuation must be returned. In principle, you can try.
Good luck on the road!
George, Hello.
You can try. In any case, please write here about the results.
Good luck on the road!
Is one level of asphalt (the alleged sidewalk) with the level of the road, although separated by a curb, proof of the absence of a sidewalk !?
Alex, paragraph 1.2 of the SDA:
It does not say anything about the level of asphalt on the sidewalk and on the roadway. That is, the level of asphalt can be any.
If you want to challenge the fine, then you need to focus on the fact that the specified section is not intended for pedestrian traffic.
Good luck on the road!
We will try to challenge. Thank you.
Hello!
I bought a parking space in a two-level underground parking under the railway. Before the purchase, they showed a plan for the placement of parking spaces, something like this should look like parking: 4 rows, between 1 and 2, 3 and 4 rows of the carriageway, about 6 m wide, all parking spaces are located perpendicular to the carriageway. There is no general plan in the preschool educational institution. My parking space should have been the second before the turn, marked with an asterisk "*" (vertical stripes in front and back of the parking space), every 2 cars along the perimeter of the parking space there are poles - it turns out that there are 2 cars in 1 square:
| .... |. .| .... |.| .... |. ^ .| .... |
| .... | | |*.... | | .... | | | .... |
| .... |. v. | n .... |. | .... |. . | .... |
After the parking lot was handed over, it turned out that the developer turned my place (*) and my neighbor (denoted by the letter "n") 90 degrees, i.e. the front / rear of the car looks at the wall of the building, and placed another parking space (from each corner) on the roadway before the turn, as a result, instead of 4 cars, 6 cars were located on the 90-degree - 90-degree turn section:
| .... | .| .... |.| .... |. ^ | .... |
| .... | | -- --- -- -- -- -- | | .... |
| .... | v - n *. - --.-- | .... |
Did the developer have the right to place a parking space on the roadway, before the turn (the distance to the corner of the turn is the width of the post, about 0.5 m.). With such an arrangement of parking spaces, it is very difficult to drive into your parking space "*". The width of the carriageway after the turn is about 3m. (from the post of the parking space to the wall of the building), limited space for maneuver. In addition, the width of the entrance to the parking space itself is 2.13cm, instead of the required 2.5m.
Venus, Hello.
Unfortunately, I am only superficially familiar with construction legislation. In general terms, I can advise you the following. Study your contract with the developer and see what the requirements for a parking space are indicated in this document (location, dimensions, area, etc.). If at least one requirement is not met, then terminate the contract, or demand the provision of a place that meets the requirements.
You can also try to find regulatory documents that establish the requirements for parking spaces (standards, rules, laws, etc.) and study the requirements specified in them. If something is not fulfilled, then you can also terminate the contract with a refund of the amount paid.
Good luck on the road!

Hello.
At night, the car was parked near the entrance, near the curb, there are no prohibition signs.
My car was run over, resulting in
a) The car was thrown with its right wheels on the sidewalk
b) Torn off the left rear wheel
As a result, the car cannot move and stands with two wheels on the sidewalk. Does not interfere with the passage and the passage. The accident was recorded by the traffic police, but the description does not indicate the fact of the final position of my car.
Am I a traffic offender by leaving the car on the spot?
My interpretation: no, since both parking and stopping are an INTENTIONAL termination of the vehicle's movement. In my case, the car ended up where it happened to be unintentionally and is unable to move on its own.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
The accident was recorded by the traffic police, but the description does not indicate the fact of the final position of my car.
The final position of the vehicle is necessarily recorded in the accident diagram. By the way, you are also obliged to fix it - clause 2.6.1 of the SDA.
p 1.2 SDA "Forced stop" - stopping the movement of a vehicle due to its technical malfunction or the danger posed by the transported cargo, the condition of the driver (passenger) or the appearance of an obstacle on the road.
p 12.6 SDA. In case of a forced stop in places where stopping is prohibited, the driver must take all possible measures to remove the vehicle from these places.
Alexander, Hello.
From the point of view of traffic rules governing stopping and parking, the situation is not a violation.
There is an asphalt plot in the courtyard of the house, it is separated by a curb from the gravel embankment. The curb is 7 cm wide and flush with the asphalt and gravel. Large poplars grow along the perimeter of the gravel embankment. Grass does not grow, there is dirt after rain. Nearby, a small fence fenced off a front garden with flowers i.e. flower bed. Question: can a gravel embankment be equated to a sidewalk. And is it possible to park on a gravel site.
Vladimir:
"Sidewalk" - an element of the road intended for the movement of pedestrians and adjacent to the carriageway or cycle path, or separated from them by a lawn.
Theoretically, the sidewalk can also have a gravel surface, asphalt on the sidewalk is not required.
Good luck on the road!
When purchasing a vehicle, in most cases, a person already has a driver's license in his hands, respectively, you can be sure that he is fully familiar with the traffic rules and he already has driving experience. However, practice shows that, when sitting behind the wheel for the first time, difficulties arise for a beginner not as a result of driving a vehicle. It is sometimes difficult for a novice driver where it is allowed to park. Desperate, he notices the first free space that comes into his field of vision, but, not knowing whether it is possible to park in this particular place or not, he nevertheless decides to stop.
Unfortunately, such stops often lead to unpleasant "surprises". If there are road inspection officers nearby or surveillance cameras are installed in this place, the owner of an improperly parked vehicle will be fined for an administrative offense committed by him. If you stop in such a way that your car begins to act as an obstacle to the safe movement of other road users, your car can be taken by a tow truck to the penalty area. For this reason, experienced drivers recommend that you theoretically study the parking rules carefully, and then follow them almost flawlessly.
Basic parking rules
By the way, sometimes the main problem is the gap in the knowledge of motorists regarding such concepts as "stopping" and "parking". These two concepts, indeed, at first glance, have a lot in common, but nevertheless there are distinctive features. The stop is made for a minimum period of time, no more than five minutes. In some cases, this time interval may be higher, but at the same time the concept of "stopping" will still apply to the car. At the same time, there must be supporting facts in the form of prolonged unloading or loading of things, disembarkation or embarkation of passengers.
If there is a need to ensure the parking of the car for a longer time, then it will already be a question of parking, respectively, it must already obey the rules prescribed in the traffic rules.
Why you need to follow the parking rules
If you carefully study the traffic rules, figure out where you can't park, and where you can stop without any problems, regardless of the total amount of time during which your car will be completely immobilized, then you will protect yourself from unpleasant communication with traffic inspectors and payment of unforeseen fines.
And also observance of not only traffic rules, but also parking will save your vehicle from damage. An incorrectly stopped "iron comrade" is sometimes simply ready to be torn apart by passers-by. It is unlikely that you will get a lot of positive if you suddenly find scratches on the surface of the car, broken or cracked glass. And also another vehicle parked in the same place, only a little earlier than you, can harm your car.
If your car has actually blocked another vehicle and therefore prevents it from leaving, an angry and terribly rushing driver may simply push your car out, providing a kind of "hello" mark on its body as a terrible dent. By the way, in this case, even filming the situation on a CCTV camera, DVR will not help you get compensation for such damage. Administrative responsibility rests with the driver who parked his car incorrectly.
Where can I park
To find out the answer to your question regarding parking rules, you should carefully read Section 12 of the traffic rules. You can only stop on the right side of the carriageway near the side of the road. If you really want to show your "uniqueness" and stop on the left side by the side of the road, then in the traffic rules you will find such permission, but with some restrictions. Indeed, you can stop your car at the left side of the road, but only if the road has one lane and is one-way. And also tram rails should not be present on it.
In some cases, it is also possible to park next to the sidewalk, it is important to find specially installed road signs permitting such actions. In particular, a large blue square with a white English letter P indicates that vehicles are allowed to park in the area. At the same time, it does not hurt at all to pay attention to the additional accompanying sign, placed in most cases below the main sign. It will show how exactly parking should be carried out:
- with a stop at the side of the road;
- with the collision of the right wheels to the side of the road;
- with a drive in completely to a part of the side of the road;
- other.
If the surrounding space you are interested in is not accompanied by permits, but at the same time you do not see signs prohibiting parking, then you can act at your own discretion, unfortunately, sometimes you have to take risks if you are not careful enough.
Ban on stopping the vehicle
If you come across a sign on your way, which is a blue circle with a red frame and a red line diagonally, know that it forbids you to stop in this place. Sometimes this sign can have some additions. In the center there may be a white Roman numeral I or II. In the first case, the sign prohibits stopping on odd days of the month, and in the second case, on even ones.
It is forbidden to park on the sidewalk. Passenger cars are allowed in some cases, but under one important condition. If the vehicle stops on the sidewalk, but, in spite of this, there is at least one meter of free space for the unhindered movement of pedestrians, then such a stop is allowed, the driver of the car will not have any negative consequences. If the sidewalk is narrow, you should not park on it.
If you are driving a car on a main road outside the village, then we also do not recommend you to make a stop, since such actions are also prohibited by traffic rules. You cannot choose a parking space that is a short distance from a railway crossing. If there is a need to make a stop in this case, then stop 50 meters before the crossing or after driving 50 meters after it.
Of course, it is forbidden to stop at a tram stop or on the tracks, and it is also forbidden for a car to stand next to them, especially if the vehicle interferes with other vehicles to move safely.
If there is a public transport stop nearby, you should stop your transport at a distance of at least 15 meters from it. You should also drive off at least five meters from the pedestrian crossing, or do not reach it if you need to stop at this place.
Under the complete ban, as a result of which it is prohibited in any case to slow down and be at any time, places fall at an intersection, near a sharp turn or rise.
If you really need to know how many meters you need to drive from the intersection to be able to park, you need to read the traffic rules again. We are ready to inform you immediately so that you do not waste time searching. Drive at least five meters from the intersection before stopping your vehicle.
Of course, it is strictly forbidden to drive, and even more so to park in the oncoming lane, since such actions provoke an emergency. The ban also includes places located near road signs. By stopping vehicles near them, you unwittingly create an obstacle for the early detection of signs by other road users, thereby again provoking emergency situations.
If it is very important for you to park your car inside the yard space, there are also some additional requirements to consider. In particular, transport must not be stopped at a distance of less than 10 meters from the entrance to the entrance, store. And also the distance limitation applies to stopping near garbage containers. In this case, the distance from them to the vehicle must be at least 5 meters.
There are also other prohibitions regarding parking. In particular, the vehicle is not allowed to stay for more than five minutes with the engine running. Otherwise, residents living in this entrance have every right to call the appropriate services or record the fact that you have violated the parking rules in the yard. This will, of course, be followed by administrative responsibility and the imposition of fines on you.
If you drive a personal vehicle and you are interested in near your home and place of work, then in most cases such a problem will be solved by you for the very first time, on all subsequent days you will act along the path already beaten by you. It's a different matter when you are driving a taxi, in this case you do not know the area where the call came from, so you have to park the taxi while the passengers go down and take their places in the cabin. To prevent road inspection officers from being able to fine taxi drivers for incorrect parking of a taxi, it is recommended that drivers also strictly comply with all the requirements prescribed in section 12. The only exceptions are places accompanied by the sign "Taxi stand", in this case drivers of private vehicles do not have the right to apply for vacant parking spots, but taxis can freely use such an additional benefit for themselves.
Punishment for an administrative offense
Many drivers have already experienced the consequences of improper parking, when after that they had to enter into an unpleasant dialogue with road inspectors, and then pay the assigned fines. You should not blindly follow those drivers who often say convincingly such phrases: "I park where I want and how I want." Such actions cannot go unpunished indefinitely. Sooner or later, the driver will come to the attention of law enforcement officers and it will be impossible to avoid punishment. It is for this reason that we recommend that you follow the stopping and parking rules. We also advise you to study the question of what penalties are imposed on drivers of vehicles that have been parked in a prohibited place.
Penalties
Within the city limits, on the square, on the streets, you can find places where parking is allowed. Such drivers must necessarily have supporting documents with them. If not the driver is disabled, but the passenger, then the driver must have special permits. In the event that a car is found at such a privileged parking lot, the driver of which does not have such a privileged right, a fine may be imposed on him, the amount of which reaches 3-5 thousand rubles.
If for some reason you stopped at a railway crossing, you will have to pay a fine in the amount of one thousand rubles. In the event of a gross or repeated violation of this rule, the driver's license may be withdrawn for at least six months.
For non-observance of parking rules, the amount of the fine may differ depending on the locality, region, this administrative offense was committed. Interested in what sums you will have to say goodbye to, we draw your attention to the fact that the minimum fine will be equal to five hundred rubles for such an offense. If such a fact is recorded in the capital, five hundred rubles will not be enough, you will have to pay about two and a half thousand rubles.
The driver will be assigned to pay a fine of about one and a half thousand rubles, for a similar violation in the capital you will have to fork out twice as much.
The consequences will be much more deplorable if the driver not only chose a place that is prohibited from parking, but also by such actions the driver created obstacles for the safe movement of other road users, then the vehicle takes a tow truck and transports it to the penalty area. In this case, the driver will have to pay a fine for incorrect parking, calling a tow truck, keeping the vehicle in the penalty area. The amount will turn out to be quite impressive, so do not rush to leave your car without making sure that you are parking correctly.
Some drivers are willing to argue that it was simply impossible to find a free parking space. However, such heated debate will lead nowhere. It is recommended that such drivers worry about booking a place in a paid parking lot. In this case, it is possible not only to avoid penalties, but also to be completely calm for your car, since it will be in a safe place under protection.
So, when purchasing a vehicle, you should carefully study all sections of the traffic rules, there is no superfluous information in them. If you ignore the study of the section in which all the parking rules are spelled out, you should expect a "meeting" with unpleasant situations, followed by disastrous consequences. Those who strictly adhere to the requirements for making short stops or long parking will never receive "letters of happiness", which indicate tidy sums that plunge many drivers into shock.
Stopping and parking are very important in traffic rules. Indeed, in the modern world, there are more than enough violations of this kind, especially in megacities and large cities, when it is necessary to park a car, but there is nowhere to put it. And in order to avoid such mistakes, it is important to know the rules of the road.
Traffic rule number one
Let's start with generally accepted norms. First, you need to tell about where it is allowed to stop, and where the parking lot (parking). The traffic rules say that the driver can stop or park the vehicle on the right side of the road, and just drove to the side of the road... If there is no shoulder, it is allowed to park the vehicle at the edge of the carriageway. What about the left side? Is it generally forbidden to stop there? Allowed, but only in settlements:
- Cities
- Selah,
- On roads where there is only one lane for movement in different directions,
- In the absence of tram lines in the center of the road.
It is also not prohibited to stop on the left. on a one-way road... This action is prohibited exclusively for trucks weighing more than 3500 kilograms. Except for short-term loading or, conversely, for unloading. Now you know where to park and where not. But there are other features as well.
Features and exceptions
This sign looks like a plate where the name of the settlement is written in black letters on a white background. But even then, you can not stop in all cases. On the left, it is allowed to stop only on a two-lane two-way road. And if the middle part of the roadway is not divided by continuous markings. In general, all this must be taken into account and be extremely careful so as not to create accidents, and not to be fined.
Rule number two
The next provision, which relates to the topic of stopping and parking (parking) in the traffic rules, states that a car can only be parked in one row, while it must be parallel to the edge of the carriageway... But there are exceptions. And these are just those situations when the driver does not have the opportunity to put the car in a different way. Also, if you need to park your bike, motorcycle or moped, you can do it in two rows. This rule is explained, naturally, by rather small dimensions.
It is also allowed to park the car at the very edge of the sidewalk, located on the border directly with the carriageway. But this is allowed for drivers of cars and two-wheeled vehicles. And in this place there must be a special sign - this is sign 6.4 and, without fail, sign 8.6.2 or another similar sign.
It is worth paying attention to one nuance: the traffic rules state that if the carriageway separates the lawn from the sidewalk, then it is strictly forbidden to put transport there. Such cases are very common, because at the moment it is already being discussed. Vehicles cannot be parked on such sidewalks.
Relaxation
Another point that should also be mentioned is rest. For this purpose, both parking and stopping are also provided. The traffic rules indicate that there are special sites for these purposes. This is actually the case. If the driver is tired and feels that he needs to warm up a little, or maybe he even needs a long rest, then you need to find a permitting sign as soon as possible, which is a sign with a Christmas tree and a bench.
If such signs on the way did not come across and, apparently, are not foreseen, then you just need go off the road and stop - you can do that too. The main principle is that the vehicle should not interfere with other road users.
Prohibitions
As it was said above, stopping and parking of cars is not allowed everywhere. It is forbidden to perform it on tram lines, and next to them, since, in this way, you will interfere with trams, therefore, you will be fined. At a railway crossing and 50 meters away from them, this also cannot be done, since this maneuver can be life-threatening. Overpasses, overpasses, tunnels, and bridges are also not subject to parking and short-term parking. In addition, these actions are prohibited on a road that is too narrow. To do this, there must be at least three free meters between the car and the edge of the carriageway. For all these violations, the driver will be fined.
Route Stops and Crossings
Pedestrian crossings, of course, are not meant to be stops. You can park, but no closer than five meters away from it. If there is a stopping point near your chosen stopover location Dangerous bend, it is also prohibited to park the car there.
Crossings of carriageways for this are also not intended, as well as stops for minibuses. Must be at least 15 meters from the parking area to the intersection. Otherwise, the vehicle will interfere with buses and trolleybus when approaching the bus stop. And, finally, it is forbidden to park a car where it will block any established road sign or, which may be even worse, traffic. All this threatens with impressive fines. Therefore, it is very important to know what the traffic rules prescribe.
Penalty for incorrect parking of the vehicle
So, where stopping and parking is prohibited. Stopping and parking of vehicles is strictly regulated. And if during a stop the driver is not far from the parked vehicle, then in the second case, as a rule, he leaves. And, leaving the car parked in the wrong place, you can, upon returning, notice that the car is no longer there. And she was not hijacked. She was simply taken away by a tow truck. And this, in turn, to the driver promises the following problems:
- Firstly, you will have to drive behind your car, which means that you will waste a lot of time, which obviously was not part of your plans, especially when time is running out,
- Secondly, paying a fine and not wasting time. Therefore, it is better to show maximum attention and spend about ten minutes looking for an unauthorized parking place, so as not to face problems and other troubles in the future.
Where you can't park
The rules for stopping and parking establish the following rules: it is forbidden for a long time (which is considered to be an interval of 5 minutes or more for cars) to park the vehicle outside the settlement on the carriageway, indicated by the sign “Main road” in the form of a yellow rhombus in a white frame, 2.1. And closer than fifty meters from the rails. That is, a parking is considered to be a deliberate stop of the car by the driver.
If he needs park for 5 minutes then it is a stop. Parking, you see, takes much longer. But, if the stop is connected with the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers, or loading or unloading of cargo dragged on for a longer time, then there is nothing to worry about, therefore, you can stand.
Markup and signs
The traffic rules contain another important topic - these are markings and signs prohibiting parking for private cars. Stopping and parking is prohibited on those sections of the roadway on which yellow zigzag markings are applied. In such places it is possible to park only taxis with the included taximeter and route means. For crossing a solid line for a parking lot, the driver is threatened fine of 500 rubles.
You can often find a duplicate road sign in parking spaces. For example, an indicator in the form of a sign “Place for the disabled”. If the driver ignores this sign and leaves his car where parking and stopping are prohibited, he will be punished with a fine of 5 thousand rubles.
Marking 1.4, which is a straight yellow line, is a sign prohibiting any vehicle from stopping. The dashed line of the same color prevents the car from being parked. Therefore, parking there is prohibited. If the driver violates this rule, then he faces a fine one and a half thousand rubles... Therefore, it is best to learn in which places you can stop or park, and in which not.
Special situations
There are situations when the driver of the vehicle needs to stop urgently, as he was forced by the circumstances. In this case, he must take all necessary measures to remove the car from the area where stopping and parking is prohibited. The action of the sign, if there is one, does not cancel the emergency, and this must be understood. Of course, anything can happen, so in order not to confuse other drivers, you must immediately turn on the warning sign and put a “triangle”. In settlements, this is done at a distance of 15 meters... Outside the city - at least 30 meters.
When is parking and stopping prohibited?
Rule 12.7 stipulates that, even when completely stopped, you cannot open the doors in the car if this in any way could interfere with other persons involved in road traffic. And this applies not only to the driver. Passengers must also comply with this regulation. Otherwise, the whole the responsibility rests with the driver... Therefore, before leaving the car, the passenger must notify the driver. And only after his permission to leave.
First of all, this is important for taxi drivers and minibus drivers. Or rather, for their passengers. Often there are times when the driver has not yet had time to stop, but only slowed down due to which a traffic jam was formed. In this case, he is obliged to let other cars pass, etc., while the passenger is already starting to get out of the car. For this, a fine is imposed on the driver.
The rules of behavior of the driver while the vehicle is parked
Clause 12.8 prescription states that the driver should not leave the vehicle without taking appropriate safety measures. That is, he must ensure the car is completely stationary. Apply the handbrake, switch off, remove the keys and lock the doors. This must be done even if you park for a short time.
- Firstly, the above actions are in the interests of every driver, in order to protect him from theft, since nowadays it is not difficult to steal someone else's car.
- Secondly, there is a chance to get a fine if you accidentally forgot to put the car on the brake. The car will go backwards and accidentally crash into a vehicle that gets in its way.
Therefore, be attentive to the study of the rules of the road, well, and, of course, do not violate them.
