All other stops will result in a fine.

But provided that by his actions he did not create any interference with the movement of public transport. But if he fails to complete the task within the allotted 5 minutes, then the action will be regarded as an offense, which is punishable by a fine.

If such an offense is committed a second time, the car will be towed away. impound parking.

On the opposite side from the stop is allowed free parking without any sanctions from the traffic police.
For stopping and parking a car in a 15-meter public transport stop zone, the driver will be punished by a fine. If a parked car interferes with the movement of other vehicles and the driver is not nearby, the car will be towed to a impound lot at the violator’s expense.

Where is parking allowed and where is it prohibited? Crib.

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

Alas, Moscow cannot boast of such parking regulations

Remember a simple axiom - only a tank driver does not have to know how to park his vehicle. For everyone else, the traffic rules spell out parking rules.
Stop or parking?
Submitting to the fashion for Western terminology and ubiquitous Anglicisms, we will not abandon such a concept as “parking”. But in our legislative framework another term appears - "parking". And if drivers have long understood the difference between “inspection” and “inspection” of a vehicle, then they often have difficulties with the definition of “parking” and “stopping”.
A stop is a pause in movement, a parking is a stop for 5 or more minutes.
Photo: mashinapro.ru
So, a stop is, in simple terms, a cessation of movement lasting no more than 5 minutes.
However, the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes if this time is not enough for them to disembark/pick up passengers or load/unload. But if a vehicle stops for more than 5 minutes, and this has nothing to do with passengers or cargo, then this is already a parking lot.
Parking rules for everyone
First, let's figure out why you should park correctly. Quite often, novice drivers and experienced “steering wheelers” believe that it is not so important where the car is parked. But by parking your vehicle correctly, you will, firstly, reduce your chances of meeting and communicating with all of us beloved traffic police inspectors and such a nuisance as a fine.
Someone parks however they want...
Photo huffpost.com
Secondly, proper parking will protect your car from troubles, such as an accident without moving or mechanical damage, caused by particularly dissatisfied pedestrians defending their rights using radical methods.
And someone - how can.
Photo drive2.ru
By the way, about the accident.
If your car was parked illegally and became involved in a traffic accident, then all the blame and administrative responsibility inevitably and automatically falls on you.
Where can I park?
IN current Rules Traffic regulations tell you where you can park and where you can’t. From paragraph 12.1 you can find out that parking can be organized on the side of the road to the right of the road or at the edge of the roadway. If you still want to park on the left, this can only be done on roads with one lane in each direction and without tram tracks.
Violation of parking rules is the reason for difficulties with parking in Moscow

But the union of a parked car and the sidewalk is discussed in section 12.2. If you ride a bicycle, moped, motorcycle and car, then you have every right to park your vehicle in places that are marked with a parking sign...
... and one of the signs below (here is the answer to the frequently asked question - is it possible to park on the sidewalk).
In all other cases, you will have to park at your own risk. And, of course, conscience.
Where you can't park
No matter how we feel about prohibitory signs, ignoring them is often more expensive for ourselves.Parking is prohibited if the following sign is visible on the horizon.
The effect of the “No Parking” sign extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection beyond it, and in populated areas, in the absence of an intersection, to the end settlement.
At the same time, variations of this sign can be observed on the streets of Russian cities.
Parking is prohibited on odd days of the month
Parking is prohibited on even days of the month
But there are also more general rules.
For example, under no circumstances will you be able to legally park your vehicle on the sidewalk if it is a truck. In addition, parking is prohibited in those places where stopping is not permitted, which is quite logical.
Also, you cannot park a vehicle on the roadway outside a populated area that is marked with a “Main Road” sign.
Do not forget that it is strictly prohibited to organize parking closer than 50 meters from railway crossings.
Interesting
The “Pedestrian Path” sign prohibits cars from driving, but nothing is said about parking on the path for pedestrians and cyclists. Yes, a fine of 2 thousand rubles. you will have to pay, because it is impossible to enter the forbidden territory without moving. However, according to the Administrative Code, the traffic police have no right to evacuate your car to the impound area from the pedestrian path. Many Muscovites, those who have more money, take advantage of this flaw in the Code and habitually park their four-wheeled “horses” on paths intended for “two-legged people.”
How much does illegal parking cost?
Municipal authorities are constantly increasing penalties for parking where parking is prohibited. At the same time, there is a certain gradation of fines depending on the region or city. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg the fine amounts are higher than in other Russian cities.Rules for parking in courtyards: good where we are not
It should be recognized that the rules for parking in courtyards and adjacent areas have not yet been clearly defined at the legislative level. But it would be worth it, because, for example, Moscow courtyards are increasingly reminiscent of a zone high voltage, which arises between residents. However, there is a vault general rules, which any driver is obliged to comply with.
It is strictly prohibited to park a car on lawns. The provision on “green zones” is not spelled out in the traffic rules, but such parking violates another set of rules - the city improvement rules. In addition, you must not block the passage that impedes the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians. Sidewalks in yards are also a taboo area for car owners.
Sometimes in the courtyards there is a “parking nonsense”

If we talk about any clear instructions, then parking a car is prohibited closer than 10 meters from the doors, be it the doors of a store or an entrance, and also no closer than 5 meters from garbage containers.
In London, a car owner can buy the right to park next to their house or in their yard for 100 pounds a year. For all other parking spaces, Londoners pay £4 hourly and can stay in a space for a maximum of four hours.
Regarding other prohibitions, a car with a running engine cannot be parked in yards. Remember - no more than 4 minutes 59 seconds. This rule is worth thinking about for motorists who warm up the engine before driving during the winter months.
And, of course, they are completely discriminated against in relation to off-street parking. trucks with permitted maximum weight more than 3.5 tons.
Parking rules in Moscow
A city can be considered one that has reached the highest level of motorization if there are from 300 to 400 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants. In 2013, Moscow was on the list of the most motorized cities took second place— 380 cars per “kilo-capita” of the population. Hence the 127 hours a year that a Moscow driver spends fighting traffic jams.
Free parking is a luxury for Moscow
Photo auto.mail.ru
So here it is. Once the city reaches high level motorization, it automatically waives the “free parking” regulations. This is the answer to the question why parking in Moscow became paid. We must not forget about the convenience of pedestrians, the priority of public transport and moving cars. Parked cars that simply occupy public space are at the very bottom of the priority table. In other words, if you want to stand, pay. This is exactly what is said on the pages of the project, which is designed to cope with the problem of “chaotic parking” on the capital’s streets.
The rules for parking in the center of Moscow are simple to the point of banality - you can park your car wherever the rules or relevant road signs do not prohibit it. If you do not follow this norm, then be sure to add to the statistics of evacuees for wrong parking car - about 1300 rubles per day.
You can pay for parking through the parking meter

Majority shopping centers in Moscow they provide free parking spaces, but there are also those (they are located inside the Third Transport Ring) where only the first hours of parking are free. There are also little parking tricks: you can leave your car in the parking lot of the Moscow Hotel if you buy at least something in one of the many local boutiques.
Subtleties of the question
Under no circumstances do you have the right to trample the grass on the lawn with the tires of your car. True, the amount of the administrative fine for this is different everywhere, because these fines are set by local governments.If you parked your car, but only drove a little onto the curb, then law enforcement will definitely regard this as full-fledged parking on the sidewalk. For the convenience of one wheel - a fine and evacuation of the “steel horse” to the “penalty stable”.
Imagine that you left your car on the sidewalk. According to current legislation, for violating the rules of parking or stopping on the sidewalk, which entails creating obstacles to the movement of pedestrians, you can be fined two times the minimum wage. But the fact of creating obstacles still needs to be proven. But if there is no fact, there is no corpus delicti. However, compliance with the law should be at the forefront of all such situations.
Today, traffic cops use devices called “Parcon”, which independently detect and record violations of parking rules. After this, drivers receive “chain letters”. So don't leave it to chance and beware of the newfangled gadgets that law enforcement officers are armed with.
If you want to know what kind of person this person is, look at how he parks his car!
Photo fedpress.ru
In order not to lose money (fines, payment for towing and storage in a parking lot), time and nerve cells, try to get along with this capricious lady, whose name is “Parking”. Remember the patience of the legendary Noah, who, on his ark full of passengers, searched for parking until he found it near the majestic Ararat. Respect the law, pedestrians and your fellow drivers, and you will always find parking space under the sun.
Accepted in country traffic rules prohibit vehicles from parking at the bus stop. In this case, penalties are imposed both for parking and for stopping traffic in a place intended specifically for boarding and disembarking passengers of public vehicles. Is it possible to cancel a fine for stopping a car at a bus stop and in what cases the driver’s actions are not a violation, we will consider further in the article.
Is it possible?
Clause 12.4 of the current Rules clearly states that parking of any non-route vehicles within the bus stop is prohibited. In turn, clause 12.5 prohibits parking in any place where stopping traffic is prohibited. Therefore, you cannot park at the bus stop.
At the same time, stopping movement closer than 15 meters to the parking area of minibuses is a violation of traffic rules. The distance count starts either from the corresponding marking or from the point where sign 5.16 is placed. It is necessary to pay attention to this fact. If a bus stop, even one equipped with a special canopy, lacks this sign, stopping traffic there will not be considered a violation. It is incorrect to measure the distance from any point other than a special marking or corresponding sign.
Who is allowed to stop at a bus stop?
Route vehicles are allowed to stop at the bus stop. Only taxis can stop at special taxi parking areas equipped with an appropriate sign.
At the same time, it is possible to avoid punishment for incorrect parking at the drop-off point for passengers of minibuses. On the specified section of the road, traffic can be suspended for the purpose of boarding/disembarking passengers. Cars are allowed to stop at the bus stop so as not to interfere with route vehicles.
There is an opinion that parking a vehicle at a bus stop for the purpose of disembarking or picking up passengers is allowed for up to five minutes. However, this statement contradicts the traffic rules. The fact is that stopping movement beyond the specified time period is also considered a violation, if this is necessary for loading goods or boarding passengers. So the main condition for avoiding punishment is the absence of route vehicles at the bus stop, which are hindered by a stopped car.
Parking, according to the Rules, is a deliberate interruption of traffic. That is, if a car simply stalls at a bus stop, no fine will be charged. True, for this the driver must take measures to clear the roadway. It will not be a violation to stop traffic due to unexpected obstacles on the road.
Amount of fine
The amount of the fine levied for violation of the requirements of the Rules on stopping public transport is established by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This document in article 12.19 sets penalties in the amount of 1000 rubles for such an offense.
In case the stop is at bus stop with violation traffic rules requirements carried out by a motorist in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the amount of the fine naturally increases. Residents of both capitals – the official and northern ones – will have to pay 3,000 rubles.
Other sanctions for this violation not provided. The only exception is if a parked car can create an obstacle, making it impossible, dangerous or simply difficult for public transport to pass. If the driver for some reason cannot or does not want to remove the car from the bus stop, sanctions may be applied in the form of forced evacuation.
The deadline for payment of the issued decision is 70 days . This includes 10 days before the entry into force of this act, as well as 60 days after. You can challenge the decision, but only within ten days.
How to challenge a punishment?
It is possible to challenge a fine if it was issued unlawfully. As practice shows, only going to court can get rid of a fine for parking at a bus stop. The claim should be filed with the judicial authority under whose jurisdiction the place where the decision was made is located. You can find it out online using state system"Justice". The complaint is reviewed within two months.
The claim should indicate:
- all the circumstances of the case;
- arguments about the illegality of the decision;
- facts about violations of procedural and legislative norms by police officers in the process of considering the situation.
In practice, a fine for parking at a bus stop is rarely contested. The fine is not large enough to waste time and effort on going to court. However, fines are often issued in violation of the norms and requirements of the law, and some of the decisions can be quite easily challenged.
