12. STOP AND PARKING

12.1. Stopping and parking vehicles are allowedon the right side roadson the sidelines , and in its absence -on the roadway at its edge (fig. 120) and in the cases established by clause 12.2 of the Rules - on the sidewalk.

On the left side roads stopping and parking are allowed in settlements on the roads with one stripe movements for each direction without tram lines in the middle and on the roads one way(trucks with an MPW of over 3.5 t on the left side of a one-way road are only allowed to stop for loading or unloading).

Rice. 120. Stop on the sidelines
or at the edge of the carriageway

Before starting to consider this topic, it does not hurt to return to section 1 of the SDA and once again read about the terms "stop" and "parking".

Stopping in modern conditions of heavy traffic and high speeds is a very responsible business. It is necessary to stop not just anyhow, but carefully choosing a safe place, otherwise the consequences of even a seemingly harmless short-term stop for boarding and disembarking passengers can become tragic.

To avoid trouble, you should think not only about cars passing by, but also about those who will try to bypass your car, leaving, for example, from a parking lot.

Stopping and parking on the left side of the road is a separate topic (fig. 121).

Rice. 121. Stop on the left side of the road

To get to the left side on a two-way road (fig. 121 a), first you need to skip all oncoming cars. At the end of the parking (stop), you must return back to your right side. At the same time, before starting the movement, you must make sure that you do not interfere with either oncoming or passing traffic.

The idea behind allowing stopping and parking on the left side of a two-way road is very simple. What difference does it make if you stop on a road with two lanes to the right or to the left, a certain obstacle to traffic will still be created.

As for the "left" stop on a one-way road, it is logical and should not cause confusion (Fig. 121 b).

And in fig. 121 v shows situations when stopping and parking on the left side of the road is prohibited.

12.2. It is allowed to park the vehicle in one row parallel to the edge carriageway, except for those places, configuration ( local widening carriageway) which allows a different arrangement of vehicles. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer may be parked in two rows.

Parking at the edge of the sidewalk, bordering with carriageway, allowed only for cars cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles in the places indicated by sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.6.6-8.6.9.

There are three important points to highlight.

1. The vehicle may be parked at an angle to the carriageway only in those places where it is determined by signs, markings or the configuration of the road (in the so-called pockets).

2. Using the sidewalk for stopping and parking may only cars (as well as motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles), and only if the parking place is indicated by the signs specified in clause 12.2, which determine the specific way of positioning on the sidewalk. In other places, driving on the sidewalk for stopping and parking is completely or partially prohibited!

3. Trucks, buses and the like, regardless of the permissible maximum weight, passenger capacity and dimensions, must not be partially or completely put on the sidewalk!

12.3. Parking for the purpose of a long rest, overnight stay and the like outside the settlement is only permitted on designated sites or off the road.

12.4. Stopping is prohibited:

- on tram lines, as well as in the immediate proximity from them, if it interferes the movement of trams;

- at railway crossings, in tunnels, as well as on overpasses, bridges, overpasses (if there are less than three lanes for traffic in this direction) and under them;

- in places where distance between the solid line her markings (except for the edge of the carriageway), dividing strip or opposite edge carriageway and stopped vehicle less than 3 m;

- at pedestrian crossings and closer 5 m in front them;

Paragraph 12.4 is very long, so we'll break it down into separate paragraphs. Now the conversation will go only about the two previous paragraphs (3 m before the solid line and 5 m before the pedestrian crossing).

Let's deal with the traffic offenders shown in Fig. 122.

Rice. 122. Stop near the pedestrian
transition

The driver of car "1" stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing at a distance of more than 5 m. This is good. But the distance from the solid marking line to the side of his car turned out to be less than 3 m.

Such a stop will force the other driver to break the rules by crossing the solid lane. When stopping in similar conditions, you should ask yourself the question: "Will a large truck fit between my car and a solid line?"

The driver of car "2" is twice wrong. First, he violated the requirement of the rule just discussed. And secondly, his car is closer than 5 m in front of the pedestrian crossing. Thus, it does not allow pedestrians and drivers of approaching cars from behind to see each other.

I don't even want to talk about the driver of car "3".

But the fourth driver does not violate anything. It is enough just to cross the pedestrian crossing, and there you will no longer interfere with pedestrians, and the marking line becomes discontinuous again.

- on the roadway close to dangerous turns and convex fractures longitudinal profile of the road in sight roads less than 100 m in at least one direction;

If from the place where you decide to stop, the road is visible for less than 100 m at least one way, then stop on the roadway you are prohibited.

It turns out that on a steep bend in the road you can stop on the sidelines! This phrase will help you pass exams at the traffic police, but after the exam it is better to forget it! The likelihood of an accident is too great when a stationary car opens up suddenly, even if it is on the side of the road.

- at the intersection of carriageways and closer 5 m from the edge of the intersected carriageway, with the exception of the side opposite to the side passage of three-way intersections (intersections) that have a solid marking line or a dividing strip;

Crossroads need to be dealt with in detail.

In fig. 123 shows areas where stopping is prohibited. If you stop at any of the places marked in red, then traffic through the intersection will be either paralyzed or very difficult.

Rice. 123. Stop at the crossroads

In the presence of a dashed line (or its complete absence) at the T-shaped intersection (Fig. 124), the driver of car "3" can turn right and left, and the driver of car "4" can make a U-turn. Such an intersection is considered as a normal intersection with many allowable maneuvers. Stopping the driver of car "1" in this place is of course prohibited.

Rice. 124. Stop at the T-shaped
no crossroads

In fig. 125 the solid line prohibits the driver of car "3" from turning to the left, and the driver of car "4" from turning. Therefore, the side of the intersection opposite the side passage can be mistaken for a section of an ordinary road. It only remains to take into account other stopping rules. This is the distance to the solid marking line, and the proximity of the road turn, etc.

Rice. 125. Stop at the T-shaped
crossroads allowed

Is it possible to stop at an intersection, say for disembarking a passenger, in the situation shown in Fig. 126?

"Of course not!" - you say.

Not guessing. Can!

Rice. 126. Stop at an intersection

Studying traffic rules, one should delve into the meaning of words and expressions of each item. It is forbidden to stop at crossing carriageways , not on crossroads. Of course, such a stop requires from the driver a sober assessment of the situation and knowledge of not only one traffic rules point, but sometimes this is the only possible option for stopping for the next hundreds of meters without breaking the rules.

Closer than 15 meters from the stopping places of route vehicles, indicated by the marking 1.17, and in its absence - from the indicator of the place of stopping route vehicles (except for stopping for picking up or disembarking passengers, if this does not interfere with the movement of route vehicles);

Ordinary cars are allowed to stop at the designated stops of route vehicles only for embarkation and disembarkation of passengers. Moreover, this is permissible only in the absence of an approaching bus or trolleybus (Fig. 127). Otherwise, to board and disembark your passenger, you must move at least 15 m away from the stop.

Rice. 127. Route Stops
Vehicle

- in places where the vehicle will close from other drivers traffic signals, road signs, or make it impossible to move ( entry or exit) other vehicles, or create hindrances to movement pedestrians;

At this point, you are called upon once again to behave wisely on the road. When you stop the car in one place or another, you should think about other road users: "Will I prevent someone with my stop?" This is a good question. If every driver asks himself more often, then life on the road will become much calmer.

12.5. Parking is prohibited:

- in places where stopping is prohibited;

- outside settlements on the carriageway of roads marked with sign 2.1;

- closer than 50 m from railway crossings.

A level crossing is a very dangerous place (see fig. 26). Therefore, you should not complicate the approach to it with a parking lot. In the same time stay before and after moving possible (but preferably not for all 5 minutes) .

12.6. 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.

12.7. Do not open doors vehicle, if it interferes other road users.

12.8. The driver can leave your place or leave vehicle, if it has taken the necessary measures to exclude spontaneous movement of the vehicle or its use in the absence of the driver.

To regulate traffic and ensure the maximum level of safety for all road users, both drivers and pedestrians, a system of road signs has been developed."Stopping prohibited" signwhich will be discussed in more detail in the current material.

What will become clear after reading: what the sign looks like, the area of ​​the restriction, as well as the fines acting on its basis.

What does it look like Stop prohibited sign

In order to comply with the traffic rules and not create emergency situations, you should focus on the regulatory signs. Every driver must understand that all the restrictions on the road are set in this place for a reason and are designed to ensure safety. The same applies to the stop prohibition sign, if the action is prohibited, it means that a car that has violated the prohibition can become an obstacle to movement or maneuver, and therefore hypothetically creates an emergency situation.

What does the regulator look like?Description of the sign "Stop prohibited"looks something like this: the sign is a circle with a blue background, the edges of which have a red frame, and it itself is crossed out by intersecting red lines crosswise. It is worth noting that the parking prohibition sign has a similar look. Except that the striking out diagonal line is one, and not two intersecting, as in the first case.

What is the difference between parking and stopping. Parking means stopping a car for a period of more than 5 minutes, while a stop, according to the rules, lasts less than 5 minutes. Thus, in a place where parking is prohibited, the driver can slow down for 5 minutes, usually this time is enough to, for example, drop a passenger. In a stop-stop zone, even such an action would be a violation.

Stop prohibited sign. Coverage area

The restricted zone has its own boundaries. The driver must understand exactly where he cannot stop, and where he can already.Zone of validity of signs stopping and parking is prohibiteddepends on accompanying signs that complement the main delimiter.

The first thing the driver should remember is that the stopping restriction applies only to the side of the carriageway on which the sign is located. This means that on the other side of the road, the driver may well make a stop, if there are no restrictions there.

How long does the area of ​​action of a prohibiting sign that has met on the way and has no additions extend? There are several options.

• To the nearest intersection or traffic light. At the same time, the rupture of the dividing part of the road is not an indicator for the completion of the restrictive zone, since it is not an intersection.
• Until a sign that removes all previous restrictions.
• Until the end of the settlement, if there are no intersections or other signs that remove restrictions along the route.
• If after Stop prohibited signthere is a yellow marking along the edge of the road, it denotes the area of ​​effect of the restriction and you cannot stop until it ends.

Moreover, zone of action of the sign "Stop is prohibited"define the accompanying signs. There may be several such signs.

• If the sign is accompanied by a sign with an arrow forward (up), this means the start of the restriction and the driver can stop before the sign, but will no longer be able to stop after it.
• If the forward (up) arrow sign is supplemented with a distance, for example, 100 m, this means that stopping the next 100 meters is impossible. And for example, after 150 meters it is already quite acceptable.
• If the prohibition sign is accompanied by an arrow in both directions, it means that the driver is within its range. That is, stopping is prohibited both before and after the sign, and somewhere earlier there was a corresponding limiter, notifying of the beginning of the prohibited zone.
• If the sign is supplemented with an arrow back (down), then this means the end of the prohibition. The driver can stop after the sign, but has no right to stop in front of him.

In addition, the sign can be supplemented with plates with different types of transport (plates 8.4.1-8.4.8), which means that the stopping prohibition applies to this particular type of transport. If the sign is accompanied by sign 8.18 (crossed out wheelchair), then the ban on this category of drivers does not apply.

Exceptions to the rule

Who and under what circumstances can stop in the coverage areaStop prohibited sign... As you know, there are exceptions for each rule, this case only confirms this. There are a number of situations in which a stop in the zone of the sign will not be counted as a traffic violation.

1. Emergency stop due to deterioration of the driver's health or vehicle breakdown. In this case, it is necessary to turn on the alarm and install a pointer on the roadway.
2. Route transport has the right to make a stop at the place provided for this, despite the fact that there is a restriction on this interval.
3. Stop prohibited signhas no effect if the vehicle is braked by a traffic police officer. In this case, the driver is obliged to stop at any place, regardless of traffic restrictions.

These are all situations that are not covered by the regulatory sign. In other cases, the driver is obliged to follow the rules and make stops only in an admissible place.

Sanctions for violation of restrictions

Traffic rules sign "Stopping prohibited"is designed to regulate traffic and for violation of restrictions certain fines and sanctions are provided.

Today, for violation of this rule, a fine is provided in the amount of 500 to three thousand rubles. If the driver stops in a place accessible for stopping only for disabled people, and he himself is not, then the fine can be increased to 5 thousand rubles.

If a car left in the wrong place interferes with traffic, then it will be evacuated and placed in a parking lot, which will further add costs to the car owner.

21.03.2017

Parking is not only parking, but also an action aimed at the correct positioning of the car relative to other vehicles. Residents of megalopolises regularly face such a problem and do not always cope with it successfully. Below we will consider what traffic rules you need to know, as well as what are the features of horizontal and vertical parking.

Where can I park my car?

The first thing to learn is the requirements for where you can leave the car for longer than five minutes. There are three such conditions - no closer than five meters before or after the intersection, fifty meters from the railway crossing or at a distance of less than 15 metro from the trolleybus (bus) stop. In addition, the traffic rules list the signs that can be used to draw conclusions about the possibility of parking or stopping, as well as the acceptable way of parking - parallel or perpendicular.

If there are no prohibition signs, and there are no special lines (including yellow markings), parking is allowed on the side of the road, on the right side of the road (if it is one-way), and also in parallel. During the trip, a long stop for rest or an overnight stay can be made by turning to the sign of the camping, resting place.

Where can I park my car?

If you open section 12.4 of the rules of the road, you can find the entire set of recommendations for stopping. The main rule that a car owner must learn is that it is forbidden to park a car if it creates an obstacle for road users (cars, public transport and pedestrians). It is forbidden to park the car:

• at the site intended for the stop of fixed-route taxis;
• on a track with limited visibility, in front of or around bends;
• before intersections and crossings;
• on sections of the route where the distance between the curb and the dividing strip is less than 3 meters;
• at crossings, overpasses, tramways and in other places where the movement of different types of transport is organized.

The above rules are typical not only for long-term parking (parking), but also for stopping for a short time. It is also forbidden to park the car in places that are intended for disabled people and equipped with special signs. Special attention should be paid to the days on which parking / stopping can be allowed or prohibited. As a rule, they are divided into even and odd.

How do I park my car in the yard?

Parking rules for the courtyard deserve special attention. Contrary to popular belief, there are nuances here as well. For example, the distance from a car to a nearby building should be at least 10 meters. At the same time, it is prohibited to park the car on the territory of the playground or on the lawn. If the parking area is designed for up to 50 cars, a fence is not required. Otherwise, a fence must be present. In addition, if a truck has a mass of 3.5 tons or more, then it must not be thrown. There is one more rule. It is forbidden to leave the car anywhere if it interferes with the movement of the vehicle or blocks the entry / exit.

Penalties

Parking rules are spelled out for a reason, but with the aim of ensuring traffic safety. In this case, the car owner must adhere to the established rules. Otherwise, he will face a large fine. So, if a car stops at a railway crossing, you can run into a fine of 1000 rubles or confiscation of the car for up to six months. If the driver did not follow the marking rules, he will have to pay from 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles (depending on the region). In the absence of the owner on the spot, the car can move to the penalty area. An even greater punishment awaits the driver if his car has taken a place intended for persons with disabilities. In this case, the fine will be 3-5 thousand rubles. For violations of parking rules, you will have to pay 500-2500 rubles (again, depending on the region).

Further in the special sections, various types of violations are considered in relation to stopping / parking at intersections or crossings. If the driver ignored the traffic rules, and even created an obstacle for other road users, one cannot get away with a fine - you will have to pay for a tow truck or a penalty area. Some of the largest fines are for parking in residential areas or on lawns.

How do I park my car in front?

Above, we examined the basic rules of traffic rules. Now you can move on to the features of the location of the machine. The easiest option is to park your car in front. This scheme is most in demand for places near shopping centers, supermarkets, underground garages and paid parking lots. The peculiarity of the option lies in the simplicity of the technique, so even a driver with little experience can cope with the task. And such parking takes a little time. The algorithm of actions is as follows:

• Drive up to the parked car so that the distance between the vehicles is about 1.5 meters. In this case, the car should be level, the wheels are aligned;

• Start moving diagonally towards the curb. In this case, the angle of entry should be no more than 35-40 degrees. Watch the right side of the hood. The distance from the front of the vehicle to the side of the vehicle should be about 50 cm;

• Continue driving until about 30-50 cm remains to the curb, after which smoothly roll the steering wheel to the left, setting the car near the curb;

• Align the car in one line, for which move so that the rear part is gradually brought to the curb. This stage is the most difficult and requires certain driving skills. Now align your vehicle completely, referring to the dimensions of the vehicle installed in the front.

If you follow the parking rules, the position of the car in front can be considered complete. In doing so, take into account the distance that must be in stock for the maneuver. Optimally, about four meters is required.

The advantage of this method is the convenience of entry and exit. It is recommended to resort to it when the density of cars is low and there is enough free space. If we are talking about a large metropolis, this type of parking is unlikely to work (primarily due to the need to save work space).

In conclusion, it is worth highlighting a few tips:

• To avoid a collision with another vehicle when entering, remember that the radius of the path for the rear wheels is much smaller than for the front wheels. If this factor is not the case, you can accidentally hook another car. The rear wheels "cut off" the corner. Therefore, the wheel should turn towards the parking lot only when the bumper of the car on the side has already passed the central pillar of your vehicle;

• To make things easier, initially ask a friend or the parking person to help coordinate. So, two or three attempts are enough to get the required driving skills and confidence;

• At the initial stage, you can use special parking sensors to simplify the parking process.

An important point is the entrance to the place of interest. It is important to reduce the speed in advance in order to select a section suitable for the length in time. Drive in the far right lane and push against the curb. If a car drives out in front of you, stop the car and turn on the right turn signal. This will show other road users that the seat is already taken. At the same time, remember that according to the traffic rules, it is necessary to provide the leaving vehicle with a place to maneuver and only then proceed to parking, taking into account the above rules.

How do I park my car in reverse?

If everything is more or less clear with the front parking, and it is not difficult to learn how to perform the considered manipulations, then in the case of reversing everything is different. To learn such a formulation of the TS, knowledge of certain points and practice is required. In addition, a person must navigate in space and have a good imagination. This option is more complex and more time consuming. On the other hand, the advantage of this method is undeniable - lower requirements for the distance between cars, as well as the ability to quickly leave your seat.

Let's consider the main types:

1. Parallel parking. This version of the vehicle is considered the most difficult. When positioned correctly, the parked vehicle is in line with other cars, and the wheels are parallel to the curb. This method is often found on the streets, near offices or shops, as well as at the entrances to residential high-rise buildings. To successfully implement this type of parking, the distance between cars should be 100-120 cm longer than the length of your vehicle.

• Slow down and find a suitable location for the car. Then go through it and stop at the same level with the vehicle ahead. The distance between your car and another vehicle should be somewhere between 50-100 cm. The wheels are level;

• Start slowly backward and observe the image in the side mirror. As soon as the rear bumper of the car standing behind appears in it, stop;

• Twist the steering wheel to the right side to the limit, then continue driving. Look in the left mirror and control the position of the rear car. As soon as its right headlight appears in the mirror, as well as the front part, press the brake;

• Align the steering wheel and then continue driving in reverse. At the same time, keep under control the distance to the front car (do this in the side view mirror on the right side). First, a lantern on the right should appear in the mirror, and then it leaves the viewing area;

• Turn the steering wheel to the right side until it stops and continue to slowly move back. When doing this, look in the rear-view mirror. It is important here to control the distance between your car and the vehicle installed at the back and front. If you make a mistake, there is a high risk of bumper contact. If the car does not enter the turn for various reasons (for example, due to incorrect calculation of the distance), it is worth returning to the starting position and trying to find another place;

It is now common practice to fine motorists who violate road rules, up to the seizure of vehicles at a parking lot. Parking in front of a pedestrian crossing is often incorrect. In the traffic rules there is a ban on stopping in the area of ​​a pedestrian crossing. For violation of this rule, they are brought to administrative responsibility. Drivers need to be aware of the peculiarities of stopping at such signs.

Basic concepts

The basic concepts are contained in the SDA. Parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is also carried out according to these standards. A parking maneuver is called a maneuver in which movement is deliberately stopped for a period of not more than 5 minutes. The reason may be the disembarkation of passengers or the unloading of the car.

Stop - the termination of movement, during which disembarkation or embarkation, loading or unloading occurs. Since usually parking near a pedestrian crossing is carried out for disembarking passengers, such an action is illegal. It is necessary to stop only if the view of other drivers and pedestrians is not obstructed.

How to park correctly?

In the traffic rules there is no clear concept of what parking a car is. But there is a term parking lot with special signs warning about when it can be and when not. There is one chapter for this. It also spelled out how parking is carried out in front of the pedestrian crossing.

Parking - stopping the car for more than 5 minutes near the side of the road or in a special area. When choosing a place, you need to familiarize yourself with the section of the road where the stop will be made for a long period, and also check if there are no signs prohibiting this. It is important for drivers to follow the simple rules of the culture when parking so that there are no conflicts with other motorists.

Seat selection

If there are no signs showing where to park, the driver must use the traffic rules. Transport cannot be stopped:

• near or on them;
• on highways or railway crossings;
• in tunnels and on overpasses;
• at a pedestrian crossing;
• on roads with heavy traffic.

The exception is an accident with the driver, due to which he was forced to stop in a prohibited place, as well as in the event of an accident and the need to disembark or board passengers. In the latter situation, a stop is allowed, provided that safety rules are observed and there is no risk of an accident. In order not to violate traffic rules, you need to know how many meters parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is allowed.

Typically, road areas with signs have complex traffic that is not suitable for braking a car. Drivers need to remember that almost everywhere where parking is prohibited, it is not allowed to stop the car.

Distance to pedestrian crossing

How many meters is parking in front of the pedestrian crossing allowed? The car can only be stopped at a distance of at least 5 meters before it. The distance is calculated from the pedestrian sign to the vehicle. If there is no sign, then you need to focus on the zebra, from which the countdown begins.

It should be remembered that there are additional parking rules that prohibit parking. You cannot stop at the crossing itself, on road markings (zebra crossing), on sections separated by continuous markings (no more than 3 meters). All drivers need to remember how much parking in front of a pedestrian crossing is allowed by law.

Parking rules

Parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is permitted. Is it possible to stop the car after it? This is allowed by the rules. Stopping will be legal, provided that there are no other signs on this territory of the road that prohibit parking or stopping.

This rule also applies to the opposite side of the road, where you can stop only after crossing. If the crossing is located after the intersection, then the driver must drive from 5 meters. This is required for safety and elimination of accidents.

Fine

When stopping at a crossing or close to it, administrative liability is provided. This is indicated in Art. 12.19 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The traffic police inspector applies several measures to the violator. First, an offense report is drawn up. The fine for parking in front of a pedestrian crossing at a prohibited distance is 1,000 rubles.

Often inspectors make a decision on why a report on the arrest of the car is drawn up. These costs are also borne by the driver. You will need to pay for a tow truck, transportation and the time while the transport is at the parking lot. This will be expensive for the driver, so choosing the right place to stop is the best solution. It is desirable that parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is carried out as far from it as possible.

It is wiser to drive through some section and stop the car after crossing. Then the driver will avoid administrative liability. In large cities with busy traffic, it is difficult to find a suitable stopping place. If there was a forced parking in front of the sign "Pedestrian crossing" at a prohibited distance, then the car must be rolled back to the permitted place, put an emergency sign and turn on the appropriate signals.

Such actions will not allow the appointment of a fine. These are the features of the prohibition of stopping and parking cars. Often there are ambiguous situations, but still, drivers must strictly follow the rules and leave vehicles only where it is supposed to, so that it does not interfere with other cars.

Parking near stops

It is necessary to know not only the parking rules in front of the pedestrian crossing, but also near the bus stops. Drivers are often stopped by traffic police officers due to improper parking. But this leads to a fine, evacuation. But many drivers are not deterred by such measures. Often motorists stop at Is it supposed to be? All drivers should know the answer to this question.

The traffic rules say that you can stop near a bus or trolleybus stop at a distance of at least 15 meters before and after it. An exception is an emergency, when, for example, passengers are boarding or disembarking. Otherwise, the offender will be fined 1000 rubles.

Parking near traffic lights

It is necessary to take into account not only the rules (traffic rules) for parking in front of a pedestrian crossing, but also a stop near traffic lights. When the car is in the extreme right lane, the driver creates an obstacle for moving cars.

In cities in such areas, signs are usually installed, but in the absence of them, many drivers believe that it is possible to stop there. According to traffic rules, you can stop on the side of the road, so that it is at least 5 meters from the crossing. Large vehicles should not interfere with the visibility of traffic lights and the road.

Arrangement of the car near the railway crossing

According to traffic regulations, parking at railway crossings is prohibited. But we often have to stop near him. How to do this in order not to break the rules, and also not to create a dangerous situation?

Traffic rules do not allow parking on the tracks, as well as at a distance of less than 50 meters to the railway crossing. Therefore, you can immediately select a stop or go through the crossing. If the crossing is blocked by a barrier, then there is no need to risk it: it is closed before the movement of the train.

Parking culture

There are more and more cars in Russia, but there is nowhere to put them. The delivered cars annoy many drivers, therefore it is necessary to observe the unspoken parking norms. Transport should not be placed:

1. On the sidewalks. According to the traffic rules, there must be at least 2 meters for the movement of pedestrians.
2. On the zebra. Because of such a parking lot, there may be an accident.
3. To occupy 2 parking spaces at the same time, since the car was not collided.
4. With a short distance. Side-by-side parking can damage the bumpers.
5. In flower beds and green spaces.
6. Near the bus exit, as transport can become an obstacle to the rest of the transport.
7. With a small interval. Then there will be difficulties to get out of the next car.

It is important to follow the rules, taking into account the rights of other drivers.

Why do you need parking and car parks?

Parking lots and car parks are necessary to make life easier for car owners. If the driver is not a chauffeur, then he cannot drive the car all day. While a person does not need transport, he must be in a specially designated place. The car should not cause inconvenience to other cars.

Transport can be left in the car park. If it is absent, you need to look for a parking space. Parking lots always help out when you need to leave the vehicle for a while. In large cities, they are free and paid.

Not all drivers purchase a garage with the purchase of a car. In this case, the private parking lots, which are located everywhere, will help. Such territories are protected. It is possible to conclude an agreement on the protection of transport, so that the company is fully responsible for the safety of the property.

Before choosing a parking lot, you need to see if there are video cameras there, if the guards check the documentation. In the absence of these nuances, you should not contact such a company. You should not buy a place for a month, it is advisable to choose first for a few days. If the work of the company is satisfactory, then you can continue to use the services of the company.

It is advisable to purchase parking spaces near the house. If the transport will stand in the right place, then no one has the right to fine the driver.

Parking is a painful topic for residents of large cities, especially in the capital: Moscow, Kiev, St. Petersburg. In this article, we will try to figure out the parking rules so that one day you do not have a chance to see your car being taken away in a tow truck.

These questions are detailed in section 12 of the Rules of the Road.

It is allowed to leave the car for more than five minutes:

• no closer than 5 meters from a zebra or an intersection;
• 15 meters, but not closer, from the stops of route vehicles;
• 50 meters from railway crossings.

Also, in this section of the traffic rules, various road signs are listed, in the area of ​​\ u200b \ u200bwhich parking and stopping are allowed. So, in the conditions of urban tight streets, cars can be parked parallel to the sidewalk. Sometimes a sign 8.6.1-8.6.9 is posted under sign 6.4, it shows exactly how you can park a car in a given place - parallel or perpendicular to the curb, on the sidewalk, and so on.

By default, - if there are no prohibition signs, solid, intermittent (zigzag) yellow markings, - park the car:

• parallel to the edge of the carriageway;
• on the right edge (if the road is one-way, then it is allowed on the left);
• on the sidelines.

If you are on a long journey and have to spend the night on the way, then you need to look for service signs on the motorway - Camping, Resting place.

It is prohibited to stop on the side of the road for long-term parking, especially in the dark.

Where can I park my car?

Paragraph 12.4 of the SDA is fully devoted to this problem. The most basic rule is to park, and indeed to stop, you do not need to where it will create obstacles for other drivers of pedestrians, trams and trolley buses.

Let's list the main places:

• tram lines, railway crossings, overpasses, tunnels, bridges - in a word, all those engineering structures where there is active traffic, or car routes intersect with the routes of other types of transport;
• on those intervals of the road where the distance from the edge of the sidewalk (shoulder) to the dividing line is less than three meters;
• on and before crossings, intersections;
• on the intervals of the track with limited (less than 100 m) visibility, in front of or behind dangerous turns;
• in the stop area of ​​minibuses, trams, etc.

Please note that all of the above is true for both stops and parking.

You also need to pay attention to various road signs: parking / stopping is prohibited (for example, on even / odd days). You cannot park your car in places designated for disabled people or marked with special signs.

Among other things, you need to avoid parking where your car will block the view of drivers of other vehicles.

About parking in the yards

There are special rules that we discussed earlier.

Let's recall them again:

• the distance from the parked car to the building wall is at least ten meters;
• it is forbidden to park on lawns, playgrounds;
• if the parking area is designed for up to 50 vehicles, it can be open, but if more than 50, it must be separated by a fence;
• you cannot leave trucks weighing more than three and a half tons.

It must be remembered that pedestrians have priority in the adjacent areas - in the courtyards of residential buildings.

Parking fines not according to the rules

To delve into this topic, you need to open the Administrative Code, there we will find all the information we are interested in:

• parking at a railway crossing - 1000 rubles or confiscation of a VU for 3-6 months. (12.10);
• failure to comply with the requirements of signs or markings - 1,500 (3,000 rubles for Moscow and St. Petersburg), it is also envisaged to be sent to the penalty area (12.16 h.4-5);
• occupied a parking space for vehicles belonging to people with disabilities - 3,000-5,000 (12.19 h.2);
• violation of stopping and parking rules - 500 rubles (in Moscow and St. Petersburg - 2,500) (12.19 h. 1 and 12.19 h. 5).

Further, in the sections of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code, violations of parking and stopping are considered - at crossings, intersections, places of arrival of route transport. Please note that for capital cities the fine is 3,000, and for regions it is 1,000-1,500.

If you not only parked not according to the rules, but also created problems for other participants in the DD, then you will not get off with one fine - evacuation is provided for by law with all the ensuing consequences: payment for a tow truck, penalty areas, plus a fine.

Particularly noteworthy are fines for parking on lawns and in residential areas. Each region has its own amount of the monetary penalty. In addition, there are various services through which citizens can complain about violating drivers. So try not to leave your car where it will interfere with others.

It is also worth noting that most courtyards are not suitable for such a large amount of vehicles, so it makes sense to take care of paid parking, from which your car will definitely not be stolen.
