However, a closer analysis allows us to determine more specific conditions applicable to the stage of transportation of large containers and other goods.
Traffic signs restricting the movement of cars by size
The SDA of the Russian Federation provides for uniform standards that characterize the conditions for prohibiting the movement of vehicles that do not meet standard dimensions.
There are 3 of them in "Prohibition Signs":
- Sign 3.13 "Height limitation". It is used to restrict the passage of a vehicle whose height is greater than the value given on it. It is set in situations where the gap from the road to the lower part of the span structures or the means related to engineering communications is less than 5 m.
The maximum difference in height between the figure indicated on the sign and the actual one depends on what exactly it is installed for:
- for architectural structures: at least 30 - 40 cm;
- for communications: at least 20 - 40 cm.
- Sign 3.14 "Width limitation". Designed to prohibit the movement of vehicles with dimensions in width exceeding the characteristic standards. It is placed in front of the passage and entrance from tunnels, parking lots, bridge structures.
The value on the sign must be indicated less than the real one by 20 cm. The second duplicating similar sign is placed on the span or artificial structure.
- Sign 3.15 "Length limitation". It is used to prohibit the movement of motor vehicles, the length of which exceeds the value given on it.
It is used on a section of the road having the following characteristics:
- narrow roadway;
- close nearby architectural development;
- sharp turns;
- mountain serpentine;
- other sections of the carriageway where passing with an oncoming car or single traffic can create an emergency situation, or is simply difficult.
- Signs 3.11 "Weight limitation" and 3.12 "Weight limitation, per axle of the vehicle". They affect the maximum weight of the car with or without cargo. The movement of the machine on public roads in their area is prohibited.
Permissible dimensions for the transport of goods by truck
First of all, information taken from clause 23.4 of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation should be given.
According to the information presented there, the overall load has the following criteria:
- Protrudes from both sides of the vehicle or one of them no more than 40 cm from the outer edge.
- Protrudes in front or behind no more than 100 cm.
Exceeding the allowable measures is allowed, but transportation should take place with the identification badge "Oversized cargo", with the onset of poor visibility - 2 lights or retroreflectors:
- Front white.
- Behind - red.
It should be added here that the red rag that was tied in Soviet times in such cases is not suitable for this situation.
The oversized cargo icon is officially approved by the Rules of the Road and should look like this:
- Appearance in the form of a square measuring 40 * 40 cm.
- The image is applied by alternating white and red stripes, the width of which should be 5 cm.
- The surface of the sign is covered with a reflective film, which makes it possible to see it at night and in conditions of insufficient visibility.
Curiously, in Russia there are different standards for determining the dimensions of a truck than in the countries of the European Union or the United States:
Permissible standards for cars
If we do not take as an example the information taken in the SDA of the Russian Federation, clause 23.4, given earlier in relation to cars, a number of conditions can be cited, the observance of which may cause a fine:
- The load must not impair the stability of the vehicle.
- The maximum width of the vehicle, including the load, must not exceed 2.55 m.
- Front and rear, there should be no extension of more than 2 m on either side.
- The load should not block the driver's view and interfere with driving.
- It does not create strong noise and does not cover lighting devices and retroreflectors with its body.
On the roof of a car
With regard to the transport of goods in the upper trunk of a car (on the roof), the requirements listed above regarding 40 cm to the side and 1 m forward or backward should be taken into account:
However, due to the specifics of such transportation, the following factors must be taken into account at the time of movement:
- Loading more than 100 kg of cargo on the roof rack can damage the uprights and cause dents.
- Materials that have a large volume or area, such as large bags or a sheet of plywood, drywall, with strong gusts of wind or an increase in vehicle speed, will work like a big sail. The created aerodynamic effect will affect the failure of the mounts or overturn the car.
for trailer
The situation regarding the allowable length dimensions in the trailer of a car at the time of transporting goods is that the measurements of the protruding element do not come from the towbar of the car, but from the rear edge of the tow hitch.
Thus, the metal profile, which the driver of the Moskvich is carrying in the photo below, is placed subject to the requirements established in the Rules:
- If the property protrudes beyond the front or rear by more than 1 m, during daylight hours it is necessary to use the identification plate “Oversized cargo”.
- Transportation at night or in poor visibility conditions, using the 2 reflective elements or lights mentioned earlier.
For oversized on the trawl
In accordance with Russian legislation, the organization of complex oversized cargo must be subject to a number of rules regulated by the following regulations:
- Art. 31. Revealing the features of the movement of cars, with a maximum permitted weight of more than 12 tons.
- SDA RF clause 23.5, which provides for certain dimensions, the excess of which classifies the car as a vehicle, whose movement is regulated by the listed legislative acts.
It is used for transportation of heavy cargo or dimensions exceeding the established traffic rules. In most cases, they are allowed to be transported unaccompanied by traffic police.
The only exception is the aforementioned situation, when the car, together with the cargo, does not fit into the framework approved by the Rules.
The variety of trawls is amazing, but in most cases their technical characteristics look like this:
- Load capacity - 36 tons.
- Length - 12 - 13 m.
- Width - 2.5 m.
act of divergence
The requirement to draw up an act when weighing and measuring the dimensions of a car is defined in clause 2.1.1.1.3. Sample of this document:
According to the text of the document, the following information is displayed:
- The date and time the check was performed.
- Name, location and affiliation of the checkpoint to a particular institution.
- Registration number, model and make of the checked vehicle.
- cargo specifics.
- with the entry of information about the path traveled:
- on federal roads;
- regional;
- intermunicipal;
- local.
- Vehicle weight:
- the maximum allowable;
- actual.
- Overall parameters:
- length;
- width;
- height.
The drawn up document, reflecting the presence or absence of a violation, must be drawn up in 2 copies and signed by a person who is in the performance of his official duties. One sample is handed over to the driver, the other is filed into the archive of the checkpoint.
The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for an official form of the act of divergence of dimensions during transportation. Mostly in this case, forms are used approved by the rules for the carriage of goods, carried out in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 38
Penalties for non-compliance with the rules
From all the information presented earlier, we can draw a conclusion, the key points of which are shown in the image:
Any failure to comply with these requirements may result in an emergency in which people or their property will suffer.
If we consider the situation regarding administrative offenses, the legislation provides for various options for the development of events:
- p. 1 - non-compliance with the conditions of transportation with a fine equal to 500 rub.
- , specifying the excess of the allowable dimensions given in the documents by different values, depending on the specific item. Large permissible mass of the vehicle by various amounts without a permit or exceeding the weight indicated in it or the axle load on each of the axles by an amount corresponding to a specific section.
According to 11 paragraphs of this article, the measure of punishment for the following persons is characterized:
- physical (driver);
- legal (organizations, enterprises and other companies, regardless of their legal regulation);
- officials who committed a violation while performing their duties under the employment contract;
- with a deviation of the given parameters.
Art. 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation regulates various deviations from the regulatory conditions regarding the overall parameters of a car carrying goods and moving empty. The measure of punishment is provided in accordance with the degree of difference determined by the content of 11 points.
It should be noted that, with the exception of paragraph 10 of this article, individual entrepreneurs are equated with legal entities.
Based on the information presented, it becomes obvious that an elementary trip to the country with seedlings sticking out of the window of a car can cause close attention of the traffic police and a fine.
When moving on roads, it is necessary to take into account the permitted dimensions of the cargo for transportation by road. This is one of the factors that ensure the safety of road traffic for all its participants, as well as the key to the successful transportation of objects, goods, and substances being moved. In addition, limiting the size and weight of goods is an important tool for influencing competition. Therefore, these rules are clearly regulated and require mandatory compliance.
What is oversized cargo?
Overall cargo is considered to be with dimensions not exceeding the norms in force for the car. That is, what is being transported is equated to the vehicle itself. The maximum dimensions for the carriage of goods by road are established by the SDA and other regulations.
Automotive standards in the European Union
In European countries, the norms regarding the dimensions of transportation by road are determined by Directive 96/53, namely its annex. According to this document, the following restrictions are introduced:
- total length from the rear bumper to the front: solid-frame truck - 12 m, road train - 18.75;
- body width: isothermal vans - 2.6 m, total - 2.55 m;
- permissible height of cargo for transportation by road - up to 4 m;
- weight for machines: two-axle - 18 tons, three-axle - 24 tons, five-, six-axle - 40 tons.
In Russia
According to the current regulations, road transportation is carried out by road with the parameters that are given below.
Limit weight
For single vehicles, depending on the number of axles, the following restrictions are accepted:
- two axles - 18 t;
- three axles - 25 tons;
- four axles - 32 tons;
- five axles - 35 t.
For semi-trailers, as well as trailer road trains, the following weight requirements have been introduced:
- three axles - 28 t;
- four axles - 36 tons;
- five axles - 40 tons;
- six axles and more - 44 t.
Limit dimensions
Restrictions have also been established regarding the permissible dimensions of cargo for transportation by trucks:
- the distance between the front and rear bumpers: for a road train - 12 m, for a single vehicle and a trailer - 12 m;
- body width: total - 2.55, isothermal vans - 2.6 m;
- the maximum height of cargo for transportation by road is up to 4 m.
Based on the established norms, the maximum parameters of a truck that has the right to move freely on the road are: height - 4 meters, length - 20 meters, weight - 40 tons.
Traffic restrictions
Traffic rules provide that the mass of the transported should not exceed the indicators that the manufacturer laid down when developing the vehicle. In addition, there are other rules regarding the dimensions of road transport:
- it is forbidden to transport objects protruding beyond the body of the vehicle by more than 1 m at the rear or front, and by 0.4 m - on the sides;
- what is being moved should not block the view of the road, affect the legibility of registration plates, headlights, or interfere with the perception of signs that the driver gives by hand;
- the cargo is securely fastened to prevent it from falling, especially when it comes to sheets of plywood, fiberboard, and other similar items, since they increase aerodynamic resistance;
- if the route is long, then regardless of the dimensions of the cargo for transportation, vehicles on the road are periodically stopped and the reliability of fastening is checked;
- the loaded car or what it carries must not cause dust, noise or pollute the environment;
- the stability of the car due to the objects placed on it should not be violated.
If the maximum dimensions of the cargo allowed for transportation by road are exceeded, the driver installs signs notifying that the cargo is bulky and takes other measures that are indicated in legislative acts in order to exclude the possibility of an emergency on the road.
How to "hide" the excess?
When transporting, it is of great importance what kind of transport is used for this. And if you choose the right car, you can freely move from the starting point to the final one without classifying the cargo as oversized.
For example, it is necessary to transport a container with a height of 3.1 m. At the same time, the allowable dimensions of the cargo in height for transportation by road are 4 meters. If a container ship or flatbed trailer of the "scow" type is used, then the height of the item to be delivered is greater. However, if the carrier loads it onto a low-frame trawl, then the container will “fit” into the established norms and will be considered as a dimensional container. This also affects the cost of transportation, since in the second case it is not necessary to issue a special permit, to use cover vehicles for the transportation of oversized cargo.
A similar solution is offered for the transportation of horizontal loads that go beyond the term "overall". For example, a container with a length of 16 m does not fit on a standard scow, and then an extendable semi-trailer is used. This helps to "hide" the extra meters.
For transportation by cars and private cars
The rules on the overall dimensions of goods permitted for transportation by road apply not only to specialized companies and entrepreneurs providing services in this area. Owners of individual passenger vehicles, which are used for their own purposes, must also comply with them.
Special rules apply for the transportation of oversized cargo. Ignoring the requirements regarding the maximum allowable size of transported items is punishable by a fine and other sanctions. Motor transport companies and private carriers must understand that if the dimensions exceed the established norms, then the transporter, together with the transported person, may end up in an arrest site, and fines will be imposed on those responsible.
Cargo transportation is very developed in our time. To meet a truck on the track is a given, not a rarity. There are more and more such machines, and they themselves are becoming more and more. For this reason, today we will talk about the maximum length of a road train and everything related to this issue of dimensions, in addition, we will touch on the situation in other countries, as well as the prospects for the development of the sphere.
SDA
The maximum length of a road train according to the current rules is twenty meters (if there is one trailer). The rules give a clear explanation of the length. A single vehicle should not exceed twelve meters in length, a trailer for vehicles should also not be longer than twelve meters, and the maximum length of a road train with a trailer, as we said above, should not be more than twenty meters in length.
It is important to say that the length (drawbar) is included in the length of the road train. For example, a truck is ten meters long, its trailer is also ten meters long, but do not forget that the drawbar of the trailer is two meters, so the length of the road train will be twenty-two meters, not twenty meters. In this case, the maximum permissible length of the road train will be exceeded by two meters. This is a violation and should be taken into account.
Other dimensions
But dimensions are not measured by the length of one. We found out the maximum length of the road train, now it's time to talk about its other allowable dimensions. The rules clearly state that the width of the road train must fit into a dimension equal to 2.55 meters (2.6 meters for refrigerators and isothermal bodies). If we talk about height, then there is a limit of four meters above the surface of the road surface.
It is allowed to transport cargo in road trains that protrudes two or less meters beyond the rear edge of the trailer. In addition, the movement of a road train with two or more trailers is allowed, but this is regulated by separate rules. This is an ambiguous question, we will touch on it below.
realities
We all know that traffic police officers do not miss the opportunity to communicate with the driver of the road train. Drivers say that there is always something in the road train that is a violation.
Although there are also such drivers of road trains, to whom there is simply no option to find fault. First of all, traffic police officers are interested in the questions of whether the road train fits into the dimensions that operate in the country. This applies to weight, and length, and everything else. You need to remember this and try not to give a traffic police officer a reason to issue a fine for any violations in the legislative framework of our country.
Three-link road trains: history
Three-link road trains appeared a long time ago, it is believed that for the first time such an option was tested in Germany. At that time, there were no strict and rigid norms that would concern the weight and length of road trains. Then everything was limited by the possibilities of technology.
In the early sixties of the last century, all of Europe adopted common and familiar norms. But all carriers are very zealously striving to increase these existing parameters. This initiative arose in the late eighties of the twentieth century in Germany, then it turned out to run in several three-link road trains on the roads of their country.
Three-link road trains: the USSR and Russia
Old truckers and cinema lovers of the USSR will remember that in the vastness of our country, road trains with more than one trailer in the composition used to slip. Two or even three trailers were pulled behind them by activists-chauffeurs who carried grain. And at that time conditional GAZ-53 drove around the city, for which whole "beads" from barrels of kvass were hooked. But after 1996, such road trains are no longer found on our roads.
There is a clause in the law that two or more trailers can be included in the road train, if there is an appropriate permit. But if everything were so simple, then such road trains would be found on the tracks in our time, but they are not. This means that everything is not so simple, and no one has canceled the Russian bureaucracy with the collection of certificates and papers. It will probably be easier for a truck driver to make two trips than to collect all the necessary documents, unfortunately.
Three-link road trains: other countries
Today, Holland is considered the most liberal country in Europe in this matter (this country has significant easing in legislation not only in road trains). The country has five hundred three-link road trains (length up to twenty-five meters, gross weight sixty tons), mainly container traffic.
There are Scandinavians in Europe, they have always had their own rules on this matter. Previously, everything was limited to twenty meters in length and fifty tons of gross weight, then the numbers grew to twenty-five meters and sixty tons, respectively. Today, the length of a road train must not exceed thirty meters, and the road train itself must fit into seventy-six tons of gross weight by weight.
It is noteworthy that at one time a Finnish road train with two trailers traveled around our country (the route Helsinki - Moscow - Helsinki), this happened according to a special intergovernmental agreement between the two countries.
Today in Finland on internal roads you can see a road train, which includes two trailers of forty meters or four trailers of twenty meters. Sweden went even further. They are having an experiment and they are testing themselves in the case of a road train with a gross weight of up to ninety tons!
In the United States, such transportation also occurs, the difficulty lies in the fact that different states of the United States have their own laws and regulations. Michigan stands out from all others. Here you can see on the road a road train with a gross weight of up to eighty-six tons, but such road trains have many wheel axles to reduce the load on the roadway.
In Canada, Latin America and even in Africa there are also "three-linkers". And in Brazil you can find a combination that goes beyond the reasonable! There are combinations in the country in which the permitted length of the road train is a respectable thirty meters, with a gross weight of eighty tons!
But that is not all. Australia is ahead of the curve on this issue. There are road trains that are limited to one hundred and sixty tons! This figure simply strikes the mind of our trucker, and in Australia no one is surprised by this.
The complexities of Russia
As can be understood from the above, three-link road trains are not uncommon in the world. What do we have? In fairness, let's say that record road trains run in countries with a favorable climate. Our asphalt is already in a terrible state, and if records are set on it by road trains, then it will disappear altogether.
Yes, of course, our neighbors from the Scandinavian countries also live in a climate that is similar to our harsh northern regions, but the maximum permitted length of a road train in those countries is not decreasing, but only growing. But there is a drop of sadness in our country. We have no order, we have no roads, and without it, nowhere. Let's hope things change for the better soon.
Roads of Russia
Every motorist is aware that sometimes it is very difficult to overtake a road train on a regular road. And if the maximum length of a road train in Russia grows? It certainly won't be easier to overtake. In Europe and the West, the roads are wide and have at least two traffic lanes in each direction. We have only a few of these roads.
We also have places on the roads where it is simply impossible to maneuver on a tractor if the maximum length of a road train in Russia is equal to that in Western countries. Unfortunately, our infrastructure is not yet ready for such events.
Russian fleet
But you can't just scold our government for the fact that our roads are not ready for this, that the infrastructure is not ready, that the bridges will not withstand, and so on. We need to say a little about ourselves. After all, if something is allowed to a Russian person, then he begins to use it without hesitation.
Just imagine a situation where in our country they will be allowed to ride multi-link road trains without any problems. And then our fictitious private trucker will buy an old KAMAZ or MAZ, which was assembled at the dawn of the Soviet era, and hook a couple of trailers on it, then he will load everything to the eyeballs in order to somehow meet the norm, and go to the track. How safe will it be for the driver and other road users?
The problem must be solved as a whole, and not pointing fingers at other countries and saying that they can do it, even if it will be possible for us too. A complex solution of problems takes time and money. Both time and funds are required colossal.
Toll roads
Perhaps they will be the solution. Theoretically, strong, reliable toll roads with multiple traffic lanes in each direction and well-thought-out modern infrastructure could be an initial solution for Russia.
Private carriers can start using toll roads to get even more profit from their transportation. But let's not forget how difficult innovation is in our country. Not so long ago, this could be seen when the "PLATON" system for heavy vehicles was introduced. Although in the countries of Europe and in the West such systems exist and have been operating for a very long time. In our country, everyone wants to get everything at once and preferably for free. This has been done since ancient times and continues to this day.
loopholes
Some thematic forums have the following interesting information, let's analyze it with an example. The maximum permitted length of a road train is regulated in our country. And it is almost impossible to obtain permission to include two trailers in a road train. But our drivers found a way out.
For a conditional KAMAZ, you cannot hook two trailers, but the same KAMAZ can tow a broken KAMAZ with a trailer. Why don't you like a long road train that fits into our strange current legislation? Of course, no one claims that the traffic police will not guess that you are cunning.
Although on these thematic forums where this information is taken, there are users who say that they use this scheme quite successfully. Let's hope that this is true, and not their fiction and boasting.
Modular road train of the future
The future is near. Today, the development of the so-called modular road train is actively underway. There are some developments that are already close to tests and implementation in real conditions.
The bottom line is that the driver sits in the first heavy truck, and behind this heavy truck there are, for example, five more heavy trucks. These five cars are computer and automatic controlled. They, in fact, copy the behavior and trajectory of a car with a driver.
In fact, we have six separate heavy trucks that easily fit into any norms and requirements of dimensions and only one driver. Of course, multi-lane roads are needed for such purposes, but the idea itself is interesting and attractive.
There are also such developments that the driver will not be required in the first lead car. And all this will be extremely safe. This is a big step forward for the world's freight transport. Let's see how quickly all this is implemented, implemented and taken root.
Again, it seems that not our country will become a platform for pilot projects with the running of such innovative innovations, but, of course, every modern motorist wants to follow this situation.
Summing up
Today we learned what is the maximum length of a road train in our country and what are the similar figures in the world. We have room to strive and grow. But you need to clearly understand that today's maximum permitted length of a road train in Russia is not taken from the sky, but is designed for our realities. I would like to believe that we will catch up with the leading world countries in this area in the very near future and not only overtake, but even go ahead.
To prevent a truck from tipping over, it is imperative to take into account seasonal characteristics and the risk of exposure to heavy winds;
- due to the size of the object, the driver's view is limited, as a result of which he cannot adequately assess the traffic situation;
- the cargo covers lighting devices, reflectors, identification marks, state license plate;
- during transportation, environmental pollution occurs.
Rules of transportation A car with oversized cargo moving on roads should not accelerate more than 60 km/h. At the same time, bridges should be overcome at a speed of no more than 15 km / h. Particular attention should be paid to the technical condition of the vehicle.
What is considered oversized cargo
Today, the need to transport large loads has greatly increased. For this, vehicles with increased load capacity requirements are used.
Oversized cargo is beyond the dimensions of the car and exceeds the rules of traffic rules. It has certain dimensions:- length should not exceed 20 meters;
- height 4 m;
- in width it should be 2.55 meters.
If these parameters are exceeded, then in order to be able to transport oversized cargo, it is necessary to obtain a special permit regulating its transportation.
If the driver is engaged in transportation without this document, he violates traffic rules and is liable in the form of a fine established by law, or loses the right to drive a car. Let's consider what the size of the fine for improper transportation of oversized cargo will be.
Transportation of oversized cargo
Info
That is why transportation can take place not along the shortest route, but with a choice of roads with a suitable load class. Signs The sign used to designate oversized cargo: The sign "Road train-long length" Long vehicle.
When transporting dangerous goods, the car must be marked with the sign: Cover car Previously, if the length of the vehicle loaded with oversized cargo was more than 24 m, but less than 30 m, and the width was more than 3.5 m, but less than 4 m, then the appropriate conditions for transportation could be created by the transport company without the participation of representatives of the traffic police. But since 2014, when transporting heavy and oversized cargo, it is necessary to use a cover car to ensure safety.What fine do drivers pay if they transport oversized cargo incorrectly or transport it without permission in 2018? Has he changed? The fine for oversized cargo is 2,000 - 2,500 rubles for ordinary drivers. For officials who are responsible for transportation, it will be 15,000 rubles, and legal entities already pay 500,000 rubles.
If the driver is not able to correctly place the load, he needs to stop and fix the problem or stop driving altogether. You need to be careful and follow all the rules for transporting oversized items so as not to fall under the scope of Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 1 and not to pay a fine in the amount of 500 rubles.Bulky cargo sign dimensions according to GOST
General requirements for oversized transportation Since the transportation of oversized cargo is a technically complex, and in some cases dangerous process, it is subject to a number of requirements, which must be observed:
- when placed in the body of the cargo, it is necessary to exclude the obstruction of their view;
- it is necessary to ensure reliable fastening of the load in the body in order to avoid its independent movement and overturning of the truck;
- during transportation, the cargo should not impede or restrict the management of transport;
- it is forbidden to obstruct the light devices of the car with the load.
Gazelkin complies with all requirements for the transportation of oversized cargo.
What is the fine for transporting oversized cargo in 2018
Attention
Special rules should be followed when driving a vehicle (with or without cargo) if:
- the height of the vehicle is more than 4 m above the level of the roadway;
- width exceeds 2.55 m. Permissible width for refrigerated trailers and isothermal bodies - 2.6 m;
- the length of the road train, including with one trailer, - 20 m;
- length of a road train with two or more trailers - 24 m;
- the overall dimensions of the cargo exceed the dimensions of the vehicle by more than 2 m.
Heavyweights Also, special permission from the traffic police is required when transporting heavy loads.
What matters is the total weight of the car and the object being transported. Specific values in different countries may differ, which must be taken into account when intending to cross the border.
Fine for transporting oversized cargo without permission in 2018
Freight taxi "Gazelkin" offers transportation of oversized vehicles by various types of vehicles. The experience and professionalism of the company's employees is a guarantee of high quality work.
What is considered oversized cargo It includes types of cargo, the dimensions and weight of which exceed the values established by the SDA, applicable to items allowed for transportation. Based on Russian laws, the following can be classified as cargo of this type:
- protruding in front and behind vehicles by more than 100 cm;
- protruding at the edges of the car by more than 40 cm.
The calculation is carried out regardless of the dimensions of the machine itself.
Thus, if, when transported on a light truck, the cargo protruding beyond its limits is defined as oversized, when transporting it by a long length, it will refer to the usual type of cargo.
23. transportation of goods
- It is important to consider the correspondence between the weight of the load and the maximum load capacity of the vehicle. When the car is overloaded, the wear of the engine, frame, chassis and wheels increases, and the efficiency of the steering decreases. This creates the risk of an accident.
- The quality of fastening and the location of the load in the body should also be given maximum attention. If it is in an unstable position, there is a risk of the load falling or the vehicle tipping over.
- Transported items during delivery should not pollute the environment and the roadway, be sources of increased noise.
- It is unacceptable for the load or part of it to cover reflective and light devices, vehicle license plates.
Delivery of oversized cargo should be carried out by specialized companies - only in this case you can be sure of its efficiency and safety.
The main topics of the automotive portal
To ensure that you avoid problems when applying for a special permit and directly when transporting oversized cargo, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the following orders:
- No. 107: is a regulation for state bodies on issuing permits;
- No. 258: regulates the rules for issuing permits;
- No. 7: establishes rules that ensure safety when transporting oversized items.
Resolutions:
- No. 125: the procedure for weight and size control;
- No. 934 + No. 12: the procedure for compensating for damage caused to the road;
- No. 125: rules for passing weight control;
- No. 211: establishes rules for the introduction of a ban on cargo transportation.
Penalties and penalties To get acquainted with the amount of penalties applicable for violations of the rules for the transportation of oversized cargo, read article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Consider how oversized cargo should be transported, traffic rules and vehicle requirements. Regulatory Documents As you can see, only a small proportion of aspects of oversized transportation are covered by the Rules of the Road.
The basic regulation of the transportation of oversized cargo on the roads of the Russian Federation is carried out by Federal Law No. 257-FZ. In chapter 5 of article 31 you can find the following points:
- transportation of bulky and heavy cargo requires a special permit;
- the procedure for obtaining a special permit is established by the government of the Russian Federation;
- before transportation, it is necessary to coordinate the route with the owner of the roads;
- in case of damage, the amount of compensation is calculated by the owner of the road.
On the basis of the rights specified in the above-mentioned normative act, the "Rules for the carriage of goods by road" were drawn up.
What are the dimensions of oversized cargo for transportation Guided by the provisions of the SDA, the transportation of unaccompanied items is possible only with the following dimensions of trucks (both loaded and unloaded):- height no more than 4 meters;
- length up to 20 meters;
- up to 2.55 meters wide.
Taking into account the dimensions of the cab and chassis of trucks, the capacity of a standard vehicle is functionally limited to the following dimensions:
- 2.55 m high;
