What signs are not allowed to park. Stopping and parking according to traffic rules: what is the difference between two road signs? Punishment for an administrative offense

Stopped under the sign "parking for the disabled" to load luggage without driving the car off. 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 area of ​​the sign "parking for the disabled"?

and if on the 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?

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 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. Thank you!

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!

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 movement, 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 must 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 stand 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, there is a fine for a stop where a stop sign is installed and parking is prohibited, the violation interval is one second. Is the vehicle stopped within 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 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 - there is 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.

Thus, it turns out that when sign 6.4 and plates 8.6.4 or 8.6.5 are combined, 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 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. What 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 all 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 on the same level with the road.

Art. 12.19 h.3 parking on the sidewalk.

George-28

Hello!

We have a parking lot 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. Thanks.

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 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!

Alexander-835

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 the 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 car is necessarily fixed in the accident diagram. By the way, you are also obliged to fix it - paragraph 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 yard 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" - a road element intended for pedestrian traffic 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!

By correctly parking your car, you will not only save yourself from the material costs associated with fines and evacuation to the parking lot, but also from mechanical damage caused by angry pedestrians and other vehicles that you have created an obstacle to traffic. Where are stopping, parking and parking prohibited, and what are the rules for parking on even and odd days? These questions will be answered by Oleg Shitikov, a lawyer of YustitzGarant LLC.

What is a stop and a parking lot?

Very often, drivers confuse the concepts of "stop" and "parking", but the difference between them is huge. In accordance with the legislation of our country, a stop is a pause in the movement of a vehicle that does not exceed five minutes. This time is usually enough to disembark or embark a passenger, load or unload cargo. Of course, no one will stand with a clock next to you, and the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes, but if the stop lasts more than 5 minutes, and it has nothing to do with passengers and cargo, then this is already a car parking.

Where is it prohibited to stop and park a car?

  • On tram lines, railway crossings and places adjacent to them.
  • On one and two-lane overpasses and bridges. However, if the bridge is wide and has more than two passing lanes, stopping is allowed, since you will not interfere with the movement of other vehicles.
  • In tunnels and places under overpasses and bridges. However, if there is an equipped area and a parking sign, then it is allowed to park there.
  • On narrow roads, where the distance between a solid marking line (except for the edge of the carriageway), a dividing strip or the opposite edge of the carriageway and a stopped vehicle is less than 3 m, since this makes it difficult to bypass vehicles standing there and will require the driver to cross the dividing line, which rules prohibited.
  • At a distance of less than 5 m from the edge of pedestrian crossings and their marked area, indicated by wide longitudinal stripes or intermittent narrow transverse stripes that can cross the road either perpendicularly or at a slight angle. Before pedestrian crossings, after them, at least you can put them right away, if there are no other prohibitions. The logic of this rule is that a standing vehicle in front of the crossing obstructs the view of other drivers and they may not notice the pedestrian, and the pedestrian, which increases the chance of an accident.
  • At crossroads, at a distance of up to 5m. in all directions from the border of the crossing.
  • At public transport stops, 15m from the end and the beginning of the stop. As a rule, stops are marked with special signs and yellow markings. The taxi stand is also marked with a 5.18 sign, and other vehicles are also prohibited from parking there.
  • On public transit lanes and cycle lanes. These stripes are designated with special signs or markings in the form of the letter A.
  • On any sections of the carriageway with road visibility in any direction less than 100m. This limited visibility can be due to curves and gradients in the road.
  • On sections of the carriageway where a parked car obstructs the visibility of signs or traffic lights to other road users.
  • On sections of the roadway where a parked car will create an obstacle to the movement of pedestrians and other vehicles, as well as the exit and entry of other vehicles.
  • On expressways, with the exception of special areas outside the carriageway, where there is a parking sign. If the stop is forced, then you need to put the car on the side of the road and install an emergency sign (turn on the alarm)
  • At a distance of less than 50m. parking is prohibited from railway crossings, but stopping is allowed.
  • On intercity highways with heavy traffic, where there are no shoulders and the main road is marked.

Parking rules

Parking is a sore point, especially in Moscow, where you can get not only a fine for incorrect parking, but also not find your car on the spot, as it will be taken by a tow truck to the parking lot.

The vehicle must be parked at an angle to the edge of the carriageway. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer can be parked in two rows.

So, where is parking strictly prohibited?

  • It is prohibited to park on tram tracks.
  • It is forbidden to park at stops closer than 15m.
  • It is forbidden to park on the carriageway, thereby interfering with or blocking the movement of other vehicles.
  • It is forbidden to park where parking and parking is prohibited.
  • Parking on lawns is prohibited.
  • Parking is prohibited in places designed for disabled people.
  • It is forbidden to park on the sidewalk.

Parking on even and odd days

To regulate parking on certain days, special signs are used that allow parking cars on even and odd days of the month. The validity of each sign starts from 0 to 24 hours, however, with the simultaneous use of signs 3.29 Parking is prohibited on odd days of the month " and 3.30 " Parking is prohibited on even days of the month " on opposite sides of the carriageway, parking is allowed on both sides of the carriageway from 19:00 to 21:00 - changeover time, and after 21:00 the sign is valid according to the rules of the next day.

Stopping a vehicle is a maneuver that will take no more than five minutes in order to load and unload any items and (or) disembark and disembark passengers.

Parking or parking is a longer-term maneuver, over five minutes, and is intended for purposes other than stopping.

In order for any chauffeur to understand whether it is allowed to stop or park his car in this particular place, you need to do two things:

  • clearly define the purpose and time of your planned maneuver;
  • assess the presence of prohibitory road signs 3.28, 3.27, markings on this section of the road, as well as generally assess the location of your car relative to those places where parking and stopping are prohibited by general traffic rules. At the same time, you need to remember the permissible distances between a standing car and a pedestrian zebra crossing, public transport stops, railway crossings, turns and intersections, the edge of the carriageway.

Rules for parking and stopping vehicles: remember that the most correct stop will be at the places marked with the "P" sign - parking:

If you plan to park your car outside the parking sign, you can do so on the side of the right side of the road. And in the event that there is simply no roadside, then you can leave your car on the roadway, placing it as close to the edge as possible. Motor vehicles on four wheels can fit only in one row, and on two wheels - in one or two rows parallel to the edge of the carriageway.

Within settlements, on roads with one lane in one direction (no tram lines in the middle) and one-way roads, you can stop on the left side of the road. And outside settlements, you can make a long stop (parking) only outside the road, and best of all in special guarded parking lots (so as not to become a victim of robbers).

Road signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited"

The very first acquaintance with road signs for each driver begins at a driving school. And the largest amount of time is devoted to prohibiting signs. This is partly due to human psychology: he needs to know exactly what is forbidden, so that as few variations as possible arise on the theme: what is not forbidden is allowed!

It should be noted that there are only 4 signs that prohibit parking and stopping, according to traffic rules:

  • 27, which prohibits stopping and parking (parking) cars;
  • 28, which prohibits only parking (parking) of cars;
  • 29, prohibiting parking (parking) of cars on odd days of the month;
  • 30, prohibiting parking (parking) of cars on even days of the month;

Appearance of signs

The appearance of all prohibition signs is united by a round shape with a red rim. However, for signs prohibiting stopping and parking, not a white background, as for everyone else, is used, but a bright blue (to attract attention).

The “STOP PROHIBITED” sign is indicated by two crossed red stripes on a blue background. This appearance was designed to associate a prohibition that a person can show with his hands by crossing them and holding them in front of him. From a psychological point of view, this gesture means a prohibition, categorization, danger.

The NO PARKING sign is a circle with one red stripe on a blue background. This presentation of information warns of a part of the prohibition. It prohibits only a long parking maneuver. This sign is not as categorical as the previous one.

The sign "PARKING FORBIDDEN ON ODD NUMBERS OF THE MONTH" looks like the sign "PARKING FORBIDDEN", ​​supplemented by the Roman numeral "I", which means odd days of the month.

The sign "PARKING IS FORBIDDEN BY EVEN NUMBERS OF THE MONTH" is made in the same way, but supplemented by the Roman two "II", which means even days of any month.

Rules for the use of signs

Sign 3.27 "STOP IS FORBIDDEN" does not allow all vehicles, except for route vehicles, to stop on this section of the road, even for such a short time interval as 5 minutes. Accordingly, if you cannot stop, then you cannot park the car for a longer time. Therefore, this sign prohibits stopping and parking. This sign is valid only on the side of the road where it is installed. It can be duplicated by a solid yellow marking line.

Sign 3.28 "PARKING FORBIDDEN" prohibits vehicles from parking (parking), but at the same time does not prohibit a short stop of the vehicle for the purpose of unloading, loading, disembarking and disembarking passengers (up to 5 minutes). This sign is valid only on the side of the road where it is installed. It can be duplicated by a yellow dashed line marking applied to the curb or the edge of the carriageway. As an exception, post cars, cars driven by disabled people (1-2 gr.) Or transporting disabled people, including minors, as well as a licensed taxi with a taximeter turned on, can park within the validity of this sign.

Sign 3.29 “PARKING FORBIDDEN ON ODD NUMBERS OF THE MONTH” and sign 3.30 “PARKING FORBIDDEN ON ODD NUMBERS OF THE MONTH” indicate that parking is prohibited on odd and even days of the month, respectively. However, it does not prohibit making short stops, no more than five minutes. These signs are valid only on the side of the road where they are installed. Exceptions when parking within the validity of these signs can be cars of the Russian Post, (1-2 gr.), Which can operate them independently or intended for their transportation, including disabled children, as well as taxi cars with a taximeter turned on.

If these two signs are installed at the same time, it means that on both sides of the road it is possible to stop (park) all vehicles from 19-00 to 21-00. And from 21-00 the sign of another day (even or odd) begins to operate.

Signs with additional plates

All four road signs that regulate the fulfillment of parking and stopping requirements can be installed in conjunction with signs 8.2.3 and 8.2.4. If you see sign 8.2.4 together with one of the prohibition signs regulating stopping and parking, be aware that you and your vehicle are within its coverage area. And plate 8.2.3 indicates that the end of the prohibition zone has come.

In addition, the signs "PARKING IS FORBIDDEN" and "STOPPING IS FORBIDDEN" may stand on certain sections of the road together with signs 8.4.1 - 8.4.8, which indicate the type of transport covered by these signs.

The black and white drawings clearly show that we are talking about a specific type of vehicle:

  • 4.1: trucks with or without a trailer, weighing more than 3.5 tons;
  • 4.2: trucks and tractors with trailers and semi-trailers, and all vehicles involved in the towing process;
  • 4.3: all vehicles of category "B", that is, cars and trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons;
  • 4.4: route vehicles only;
  • 4.5: agricultural, road machinery and tractors;
  • 4.6: scooters (speed up to 50 km / h or engine capacity up to 50 cm3), tricycles, quads, motorcycles with and without a side trailer;
  • 4.7: all types of bicycles, including hybrid bicycles;
  • 4.8: all vehicles with informative signs "Dangerous goods".

Sign 3.27 "NO STOPPING", the only one of the four above signs, can be installed with sign 8.18 (it is called "Except for the disabled"), which says that cars for disabled people can stop (park) in the area of ​​the sign. We are talking about vehicles that can be driven by a disabled person himself, or intended for the transport of persons with disabilities, including minors.


Area of ​​validity of signs

In the rules of traffic rules there is such a concept as the zone of action of signs. Unless otherwise specified, prohibitory signs 3.27-3.30 extend to the nearest intersection in the direction of travel.

By other it is necessary to understand:

  • signs that inform about the beginning of settlements (5.23.1, 5.23.2, 5.25);
  • signs that inform about the end of settlements (5.24.1, 5.24.2, 5.26);
  • sign 3.31 "End of all restrictions";
  • sign 8.2.2 "Coverage area". This sign is used exclusively with our 3.27-3.30 signs in order to reduce their coverage.

The difference between parking and stopping a car

"What is the difference between a parking lot and a stop?" - the drivers are interested.

The difference between parking and stopping lies in two essential points:

  1. During the maneuver:
  • if you are going to stop the car for a short time up to 5 minutes, then this is a stop;
  • any actions for a time exceeding 5 minutes will be considered parking (parking).
  1. For the purpose of the maneuver:
  • if the purpose of stopping your vehicle is unloading and loading of any things, objects, objects and (or) getting into the car or disembarking passengers from it, then this is a stop;
  • if your actions after stopping the car engine differ from loading-unloading, disembarking-landing, then this is a parking lot (parking).

For a clear definition of the concept of "Stop", both points must coincide, both the goal and the time. Everything else is treated as a parking lot. That is, if you stopped for up to 5 minutes, but sit in the car (do not load things and you do not have passengers entering (leaving) the car or out of it), then you are in the parking lot. If you are engaged in unloading and loading operations or picking up and disembarking people for more than 5 minutes, this is also a parking lot.

Where is parking prohibited by traffic rules?

Parking is strictly prohibited in places that are specially designed for vehicles of persons who have received the status of a disabled person for health reasons (group 1-2, disabled minors), both for independent movement and for their transportation (transportation).

And the rest of the prohibitions on car parking apply equally to both parking and stopping. Since PARKING (PARKING) IS FORBIDDEN WHERE STOPPING IS FORBIDDEN. Indeed, if it is forbidden to stop even for a very short period (5 minutes), then all the more it is impossible to stop the car for a longer time.

Namely:

  • you must not leave the car on the lane that is intended for cyclists;
  • it is forbidden to stop and park the car on the pedestrian zebra crossing and closer than 5 m on both sides of it;
  • it is prohibited to park on tram lines and nearby (this may interfere with their following);
  • at railway crossings and closer than 50 m from them;
  • on bridges, overpasses, tunnels, overpasses that have less than 3 lanes in one direction and under them;
  • at official stops of public and route transport, taxi stands marked with special signs and closer than 15 meters on both sides of them;
  • you must not park your car at intersections (except for T-shaped intersections) and 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway;
  • the car must not be parked in such a way that the visibility of traffic lights, road signs is blocked, thereby interfering with the passage (arrival, departure) of other vehicles and the passage of pedestrians;
  • do not park in places where a standing car will not be visible on the road from a distance of less than 100 meters (sharp turns of the road, specific features of the landscape);
  • if a standing car is parked in such a way that less than 3 m remains between it and the continuous (dividing) lane, then it is impossible to stop.

Where is it prohibited to stop according to traffic rules?

The main points of prohibitions on stopping are described in the previous paragraph, according to the rule: "If stopping is prohibited, then parking is also prohibited."

Road markings prohibiting parking or stopping

Sign 3.27 can be duplicated by road markings: a solid yellow line drawn on the edge of the carriageway.

Conclusion

Compliance with these rules guarantees the absence of fines from the traffic police and the relative safety of your car. If it is properly parked, then the chances of finding a loss, due to evacuation or illegal actions of angry third parties, are reduced to zero.

Lawyers advise replacing in colloquial speech the word "parking" with the word "parking", after which there will be much less confusion between parking and a stop, due to the lack of consonance.

On the one hand, it may seem that parking problems cannot arise. Knowing how to stop correctly is essential. However, this opinion is erroneous and it is quite possible to run into. For what? For parking in the wrong place, at least. In order not to violate traffic rules, it is important to consider the issue of parking in more detail.

Parking rules: on the roadway, in yards and in the parking lot

Parking rules on the roadway are violated most often. So as not to become one of the offenders, the following provisions should be adhered to:

  • it is allowed to stop away from at a distance of 5 meters;
  • you can stop right after the pedestrian crossing;
  • at the edge of the carriageway (only parallel to the edge);
  • no closer than 5 meters from the turn at the intersection;
  • near signs that regulate parking by even or odd numbers;
  • anywhere on the carriageway, if the driver's vision covers at least 100 meters of the road ahead;
  • at a distance of 15 meters from stops;
  • on the side of the right side (if there is no shoulder, parking at the edge of the carriageway is possible);
  • at the edge of the sidewalk, if there is a sign (applies only to cars, mopeds, motorcycles and bicycles).

You can also leave the car for a long time in places outside the settlement, if they are equipped with a corresponding sign. It is forbidden to leave the car on the road for such a purpose, as well as on the side of the road. There are special parking lots, equipped separately.

Reverse parking correctly

It is very important to know how to reverse park correctly. To do this, first of all, you need to adjust the rear-view mirrors. The main thing is to make sure that the sky is not visible, while the cars and the road are clearly visible.

When it comes to perpendicular parking, it's important to start here. First, you need to drive up so that the right corner of your car is in the middle of the car behind which you plan to park. In this case, the distance should remain about 50 centimeters. Now we can gradually align, turning gently. At the same time, stops are allowed to assess the real state of affairs in the form of the distance between your car and the one we are trying to bypass.

Parallel parking rules

How to Reverse Parking in Parallel Parking? Very easy if you follow the instructions. Correct maneuvering is especially important in the city because parallel parking assumes a neat drive between two cars:

  1. we drive between two cars so that the right wheel is as close to the curb as possible, but does not come close to it. In this case, the left corner of your car should approach the right corner behind the standing car.
  2. Turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops. Drive up to the vehicle in front.
  3. Turn the steering wheel to the left and drive back a little.

If you need to park not backwards, you should adhere to the following chronology of actions:

  • choose a place that will be one and a half meters larger than the width of your car;
  • we drive up ahead so that the car is on the same level with the car in front. It is important to take into account that the interval should not be more than 60 centimeters;
  • we pass it back until the back of the rear seat is on the same level with the bumper of the car in front;
  • turn the steering wheel to the right until the car is at an angle of 45 degrees to the sidewalk;
  • we turn the ruble to the left, pass it forward and stop.

Parking rules for the disabled

Each disabled person or person who is engaged in the transportation of a disabled person of 1 and 2 categories can install a sign "Disabled" on the front or rear window of the car.

The main difference between traffic rules for disabled people regarding parking rules is that a disabled person can ignore such signs:

  1. "Movement Prohibition";
  2. "The movement of motor vehicles is prohibited."

Also, appropriate markings are made for disabled people and additional signs are installed in places where areas are provided exclusively for privileged parking.

Disabled people can use special parking spaces free of charge, and they must be allocated at least 10% of the total number of spaces in the parking area.

Incorrect parking fines

  • For parking on site for disabled people relies a fine of 5,000 rubles.
  • For officials others are provided - 3000 - 5000 rubles.
  • Legal entities in case of violation of the parking rules, you will have to pay 10 times more - 30,000 - 50,000 rubles.
  • If the motorist has parked on tram tracks, the fine will be 1500 rubles.
  • 1000 rubles parking will cost closer than 15 meters to a public transport stop. In addition, the car will be evacuated. For Moscow and St. Petersburg, the amount of the fine is increased to 3,000 rubles.
  • If the driver will stop on the carriageway that prevented the passage of other cars, a fine is imposed in the amount of 2000 rubles.
  • Parking penalty in the wrong (forbidden) place will be 1500 rubles. For St. Petersburg and Moscow, the rules are different - the fine will double.
  • Penalty for parking or stopping on the lawn will be from 1000 to 5000 rubles.
  • Penalty for stop and parking on the sidewalk or closer than 5 meters before the pedestrian crossing is 1000 rubles(3000 for St. Petersburg and Moscow).

However, knowledge of parking rules does not always save motorists who want to park wherever it is convenient for them. Convenience often ends up paying fines and evacuating.

It is important to remember the rules for parallel and perpendicular parking. The success of the race between other cars depends on how correctly the motorist starts.

Also, we must not forget about the ban on stopping on sidewalks, lawns, places for the disabled. In addition, outside the city there are additional restrictions - it is forbidden to drive close to water bodies, stop a car on the side of the road for a long time.
