The road symbol "Bus stop" is used to designate a section of a route or a road where it stops public minibus. We will find out how the driver should behave if he saw this sign on the road.
1. Road symbol "Bus stop" is a big responsibility
The road with the road sign "Bus stop", according to the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, must invariably have a two-way execution. This is done in order to ensure that oncoming and passing cars are informed in advance about the stop of passenger transport and can take all security measures. For example, they slowed down, maneuvered according to traffic rules, did not overtake and were attentive on the road.
Traffic rules allow the possibility of using this symbol in conjunction with road markings, which are drawn with a yellowish broken line in a horizontal direction. IN this case it designates the area or place where drivers stop their vehicles route facilities. The "Bus Stop" symbol imposes a huge responsibility on the driver.
According to sections 12 and 8 of the SDA in places where there is a stop transport vehicles, such maneuvers are not allowed: U-turn, stopping and parking, movement in reverse, before and after stopping at a distance of 15 meters. This rule has its own exception, when the driver does not interfere with the movement of vehicles traveling along the route with his vehicle, then he is allowed to stop in the area where the “Bus Stop” symbol is valid for boarding and boarding passengers. In addition, the driver must keep in mind and know that in the area of \u200b\u200bthe inhabited Fri, he must give way to the route transport.
2. Road symbol "Bus stop" in various situations
Life is not an easy thing and anyone can get into an unpleasant situation. For example, let's imagine such a case on a highway that is subject to a "Bus Stop" sign. The driver thought about something, made a stop, reversed, turned around, or took the direction beyond the main road, because of which he did not give way to a minibus or bus. Such a maneuver may fall into the field of view of a traffic officer. If there is a bus stop there, but such a formality of the sections is not observed, in the form of a sign or markings, then the driver did not violate traffic rules, which means that administrative sanctions will not be imposed on him.
3. Conversation with the inspector, how to justify that the driver is innocent
The owner of the vehicle on the spot must unobtrusively explain to the traffic officer this event, why he did this in a traffic situation. In addition, the driver must on camera mobile phone film or photograph the stop route transport, on which there is no corresponding sign "Stop bus stop" or there is no marking - a broken yellowish stripe. After that, it will be easier for the driver to prove his innocence in the courtroom and win the court case.
Even if the “Bus stop” symbol is located, the driver will avoid liability in this case if the sign was closed from view when driving. This often happens in the town - tree branches, a pole or a marketing shield, can partially or completely cover the signs. True, it will be difficult to justify one's innocence, it will be necessary to justify that this pointer is essentially not visible. The rest will be the task of the transport prosecutor's office, where it will be necessary to apply.
All motorists know that it is forbidden to turn around, stop and park at the stops of route Vehicle, but sometimes questions arise with the designation of this place and how exactly to determine the boundaries of the prohibition of stopping. Let's take a look at all below possible ways designations of stops of route vehicles.
MTS stops are marked with road signs 5.16 “Bus and (or) trolleybus stop”, 5.17 “Tram stop” and (or) road markings 1.17. and (or) road markings 1.17. Please note that the markup does not duplicate the sign and can be used independently.
MTS stop designation only with a sign
8.11. U-turn is prohibited:
at the stops of route vehicles.
12.4. Stopping is prohibited:
closer than 15 meters from the stops of route vehicles or parking of passenger taxis, marked with marking 1.17, and in its absence - from the indicator of the stop point of route vehicles or parking of passenger taxis (except for a stop for boarding and disembarking passengers, if this does not interfere with the movement of route vehicles vehicles or vehicles used as passenger taxis);
Please note that the MTS stop begins after the sign. According to GOST, the sign 5.16 is set at the beginning of the landing area, that is, the stopped shuttle vehicle will be completely after the sign. So it is excluded that the bus will close the visibility of the sign. This is important when making a turn. Before the sign, a U-turn is not prohibited. A U-turn is prohibited only at MTS stopping places - from the extreme right lane and into the extreme right lane.
If the stopping place of route vehicles is indicated only by a sign, then the zone of prohibition of stopping and parking is determined by 15 meters before and after the sign in the direction of movement for which the sign is installed. Stopping on the opposite side of the road is not prohibited.
MTS stop designation with a sign and markings
If marking 1.17 is present in the designation of the MTS stopping place, then no controversial issues arise. When turning around, it is forbidden to drive into this marking, and to stop and park, you should retreat 15 meters on both sides in the direction of travel.
Unmarked MTS stops
The above requirements of the Rules traffic apply only to designated stops of fixed-route vehicles and passenger taxis. If the stopping place is not marked with the appropriate sign and/or markings, the U-turn and stopping in such places is not prohibited.
Experimental marking of the tram stop
When organizing the movement of the tram with the disembarkation of passengers on carriageway for experimental purposes, markings were applied in some places to the right of the tram tracks along the left edge of the carriageway.
This use of markup is for informational purposes only. Stopping at such a place is prohibited by general rules, and a U-turn without exit to tram rails it will not work at the place where the tram stops, that is, the marking does not affect the formation of a violation.
This concludes the article. Thank you for your interest.
But do not rush to leave! Further you will find interesting materials of our partners selected especially for you and links to other articles on our site.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the sixteenth article of the series "Signs of the road" the following signs of special requirements will be considered:
Bus and/or trolley bus stop.
- Tram stop.
- Parking lot for taxis.
- Crosswalk.
- Artificial unevenness.
We will talk about the features of the installation of these signs, as well as violations associated with them.
In addition, according to paragraph 18.3 of the SDA in settlements, drivers must give way to public transport, which starts from a designated stop. For this violation, the driver will receive a warning or an administrative fine of 500 rubles.
A few more prohibitions related to stopping public transport: a U-turn (clause 8.11 of the SDA) and reversing (clause 8.12 of the SDA) are prohibited there. The fine for these violations is provided for by Part 2 of Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles.
Tram stop sign
The road sign "Tram stop place" is installed on the road in the following cases:
- To the right of the carriageway, if the tram tracks pass in the middle of the road.
- To the right of the carriageway on a one-way road if the tram tracks are located to the left of the road.
In addition, a duplicate sign is installed either at the beginning of a raised above carriageway landing area, or above the left lane of a given direction (on roads with 2 or more lanes for movement in a given direction).
Please note that the sign "Tram stop place" is installed on the roads in order to help the driver comply with the requirements of paragraph 14.6 of the rules:
14.6. The driver must give way to pedestrians walking towards or away from the shuttle vehicle standing at the stopping place (from the side of the doors), if boarding and disembarking are carried out from the carriageway or from the landing site located on it.
For violation of this paragraph of the rules, the driver will receive a fine of 1,500 rubles.
Taxi parking sign
The road sign "Parking place for passenger taxis" is used to indicate the corresponding parking lots:
Since passenger taxis do not have an advantage over other road users, it is not possible to violate the requirements of this sign.
Pedestrian crossing sign
Road pedestrian crossing sign used to mark the boundaries of a pedestrian crossing, in the absence of appropriate markings on the road:
Note that there are 2 different signs pedestrian crossing (5.19.1 - on it the pedestrian goes to left side, and 5.19.2 - on it the pedestrian goes to the right side). The first sign is installed on the right side of the road, and the second, respectively, on the left. In this case (in the absence road markings) signs are used to mark the boundaries of a pedestrian crossing.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in practice the pedestrian crossing signs are different sides roads are sometimes set strictly opposite each other, i.е. it turns out that the beginning of the transition coincides with its end. Naturally, a pedestrian cannot move through such a structure without violating the rules, and in some cases this can be used to your advantage.
Of the features of the installation of this sign, it should be noted that on roads with a dividing strip pedestrian crossing signs installed on each of the carriageways separately. Those. one sign on each side of each carriageway.
Let me remind you that pedestrian crossing zone determined by the following features:
- Markup, if any.
- According to the signs 5.19.1 (beginning) and 5.19.2 (end), if there is no marking.
Currently, pedestrians have priority when crossing the road at unregulated crossings. If the driver does not let the pedestrian pass in time, he will receive a fine of 1,500 rubles.
In addition, U-turns (clause 8.11 of the SDA) and reversing (clause 8.12 of the SDA) are prohibited at pedestrian crossings. The fine for these violations is provided for by Part 2 of Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles.
Artificial bump sign
Road sign artificial unevenness used to mark the boundary of a speed bump.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
At the end of 2018, this paragraph also added a ban on parking on bicycle and bicycle paths, closer than 5 meters from the intersections of bicycle and bicycle paths with the carriageway and next to low curbs designed to get people with limited mobility off the sidewalks.
12.4. Stopping is prohibited:
- in the cyclist lane.
It is prohibited to stop vehicles on the lane for cyclists marked with road sign 5.14.2:
Where is parking prohibited?
With places where parking of vehicles is prohibited, things are somewhat simpler, and paragraph 12.5 relating to them is much shorter.
1. In places where stopping is prohibited
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- in places where stopping is prohibited;
In this case, we are talking about the eight points that were listed above. Where stopping is prohibited, parking is always prohibited.
2. On the main road outside the village
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- outside settlements on the carriageway of roads marked with sign 2.1;
If out locality You are driving on the road marked with the sign 2.1, keep in mind that you can only stop for parking on the roadsides. You can't do this on the road.
2.1 "the main road". Road on which the right of way of passage of unregulated intersections is granted.
3. Near railway crossings
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- closer than 50 m from railway crossings.
You can find out more about the rules for parking near railway crossings at. In particular, it explains in detail how to measure 50 meters from the crossing, without resorting to the help of a tape measure and other measuring instruments.
No stop and no parking signs
No stop sign
In addition to the conditions listed above, there is a special sign "Stopping is prohibited" in the traffic rules:
The No Stopping sign can be installed on any section of the road and is valid, as a rule, until the nearest intersection.
For example, this sign is installed on bridges, the boundaries of which the driver cannot determine while driving.
Please note that although the sign is called "No Stopping", it prohibits not only stopping, but also parking vehicles.
No parking sign
By analogy with the sign "Stopping is prohibited" in the SDA there is also a sign "Parking is prohibited":
This sign is 100 percent true to its name and only prohibits parking of vehicles.
In addition, we should not forget about the signs "Parking is prohibited on odd" and "Parking is prohibited on even":
Sign 3.27 prohibits both stopping and parking, 3.28 - only parking, 3.29 - parking only on odd days of the month, 3.30 - parking only on even days of the month.
Area of validity of signs
Let me remind you of some features of the application of these.
The signs listed above are valid from the place of their installation to the nearest intersection or to the end of the settlement. In addition, the area of validity of signs can be limited in the following ways:
1. Together with the sign, plate 8.2.2 is installed:
2. A repeated sign 3.27 - 3.30 is installed with a sign 8.2.3:
3. Sign 3.31 "End of the zone of all restrictions" is installed:
It should be remembered that signs apply only to the side of the road on which they are installed. Those. if the sign 3.27 is located on the right side of the road, then it does not prohibit parking the vehicle on the left side. For example, on a one-way road.
Penalties for incorrect stopping and parking
Penalties for wrong stop and parking of vehicles are given in the Code of Administrative Offenses:
| Stop or parking | In Moscow or St. Petersburg | In other regions |
| at the railroad crossing | 1,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3-6 months |
|
| in place for the disabled | 5 000 rubles | |
| on pedestrian crossing | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| On Pavement | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| at a public transport or taxi stop | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| on the tram lines | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| beyond the first row | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| in the tunnel | 3 000 rubles | 2 000 rubles |
| with the creation of obstacles for other vehicles | 3 000 rubles | 2 000 rubles |
| in the coverage area prohibition signs | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| in other cases | 2 500 rubles | warning or 500 rubles |
In general, at present, penalties for violating the rules for stopping are quite diverse and range from a warning to 5,000 rubles.
Please note that when paying the listed fines, you can get. To do this, you must pay a fine within 20 days from the date of violation.
In addition, for violation of the parking rules, the car can be evacuated to a car impound:
Good luck on the roads!
Read all comments
Olga, traffic violation the specified maneuver is not.
It is easier to install some kind of device in your parking space that prevents other cars from entering than to try to drive them out of there. For example, the gate, if we are talking about underground parking.
In the city along the curb with right side of the carriageway caused a continuous strip 1.2.1. The rest of the marking of the two-lane carriageway in this direction is intermittent. Is it possible to stop at a solid marking line located on the right (it is clear that it will not work to cross it, because there is a curb right behind it).
Peter-18, puzzled by the definition
two-lane carriageway in this directionThe road is one way, right? In any case, marking 1.2.1 does not prohibit stopping and observe, at the same time, clause 12.4 of the traffic rules. Still, let me remind you that marking 1.4 (yellow) prohibits stopping.
Is it allowed to stop the car next to the marking 1.11 if the car is on the side of the broken line and the distance to it from the edge of the road is 3m?
Sergey-388
I parked the car for an hour and... a penalty area! The road has two lanes in each direction. There is a crosswalk in front of me. Behind the passage on the right is a parking lot and a sign indicating this. When approaching the crossing point, the intermittent strip separating the lanes of the same direction turns into a continuous one for 20 m. I park the car before reaching the crossing point of 5 meters and I am punished for the fact that the distance from the continuous lane on the left is less than 3 m. ! However, I believe that I stood up correctly, it did not hurt the movement in any way. The inspector stated that I had prevented others from performing a right turn maneuver into the parking lot. Is it so?
P 12.4 SDA: Stopping is prohibited in places where the distance between the solid marking line (except for the one marking the edge of the carriageway), the dividing strip or the opposite edge of the carriageway and the stopped vehicle is less than 3 m;the distance from the solid strip on the left is less than 3 m. ! However, I believe that I stood up correctly, it did not hurt the movement in any way.
The inspector stated that I had prevented others from performing a right turn maneuver into the parking lot. Is it so?You have made it impossible for the vehicle to move in the right lane, and the parking is just on the right. Looks like the inspector is right.
I am being punished for being less than 3 m from the solid lane on the left. ! However, I believe that I got up right
Interesting statement! And if I drive a hundred around the city and tell the inspector that I drive correctly and do not interfere with anyone?
To complete the picture, I will add that: n 12.4 SDA: Stopping is prohibited - with the exception of the opposite side side passage three-way intersections (crossroads) with a solid marking line or a dividing strip. That is, in the specified paragraph 12.4 SDA spot, stopping is still prohibited.Victor, this situation is described in question 3-12 exam tickets. The car can stop, it will not be a violation.
Sergey-388
Unfortunately, nowhere is a scheme with 2 or more lanes in each direction considered. Everywhere there is a light version of the ban on stopping when the "violator" is forced to go around on the opposite lane or there is less than 3 m left on the roadway. But here the situation is different. There is no intersection behind the pedestrian crossing - when cars are required to turn right from extreme position, and behind the crossing there is an information sign about the "parking place", and the road went on and on. No one drives in the right lane .... it is completely occupied standing cars. Everyone drives in the left lane. There is no difficulty in traffic - the traffic is 10 cars per hour. Skinte the link where this situation is considered.
For all traffic situations you won't get links. Such a stop is prohibited by clause 12.4 of the SDA. You have been properly punished. I don't understand what the other question is...
If you think that traffic rules require adjustment, this issue should not be raised here.
Sergey-388
One more moment. Throughout the site, it acts on a temporary leg (there are construction works) the sign "Stopping is prohibited) on Thursday from .. and to ... It's embarrassing that this sign is set literally from the place of the event and is valid until canceled or at the intersection. That is, on Thursday it is definitely impossible to stop, but on other days it is POSSIBLE. What to apply ?Temporary sign or marking line?
Alexander-208
Is it possible to make a stop on this island, which is framed on all sides by marking 1.2.1?
For highways:1. Horizontal markings
Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 are not allowed to be crossed.
Line 1.2.1 is allowed to be crossed to stop the vehicle on the side of the road and when leaving it in places where stopping or parking is allowed.
16. Driving on motorways
16.1. On motorways it is prohibited: to stop outside special parking areas marked with sign 6.4 or 7.11;
16.2. In case of a forced stop on the roadway, the driver must mark the vehicle in accordance with the requirements of Section 7 of the Rules and take measures to bring it to the lane intended for this (to the right of the line marking the edge of the roadway).
I don't see signs in the photo that allow stopping there.
Alexander, Are you sure that the 1.2.1 markup is applied, and not the 1.1 markup?
The figure shows that on both sides of the "island" there is a road. What is on the third side?
Alexandra-27
Good afternoon Help, please, with one question. I will try to formulate it in a human way. There is a "No Stop" sign. There is a bus stop next. Can I stop at a stop for picking up and dropping off passengers in the area of this sign? At the same time, on this bus stop there are no marking lines yellow color. This question really torments me) Or can you always stop at stops, all depending on the signs prohibiting stopping?
Alexandra-27,
clause 12.4 makes an exception only for embarkation and disembarkation, established sign 2.37 "Stop not allowed" disables this exception, i.e. from the sign to the nearest intersection, stopping is prohibited!
Dmitry-332
Good afternoon. They evacuated the car parked near the sign of the intersection with tram line. There is no mention of this in the rules anywhere.
Dmitriy, Hello.
What is the infringement in the order?
Hello Maxim. The vehicle was evacuated from the local area registered as the property of the HOA (documents available). The inspector's motivation is parking on the sidewalk (clause 12.2). It seems to me that in this case it is appropriate to consider the surrounding area and apply paragraph 17 (Movement in residential areas). Taking into account the primacy of the status of the Federal Law (Article 36.p.1, paragraph 4, paragraph 2 - the owners own, among other things, land plot) over the Decree of the Government (SDA), the owners of the assigned territory themselves have the right to establish the procedure for the movement of vehicles and pedestrians. Clarification: in the parking lot of the car, the width of the asphalt road to the house is more than 10 meters. In narrow places, sidewalks are highlighted (raised relative to the main canvas by 15 cm and have a width of 0.7 m). What am I wrong about and what are my chances of challenging the protocol (the decision has not yet been issued). Thank you.
and there are also "Rules for improvement ..." for your locality, and also SNiPs for cities and villages related to territories ...
Access to vehicles (loading and unloading things, firemen, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc.) must be provided to each house. To several houses they are called something like intra-quarter, to single-standing - such as a house entrance, a driveway to the house. If there is no separate sidewalk (marked with a sign, or elevated above the rest of the roadway), then, as you already mentioned, these driveways are intended for traffic of both cars and people. It is spelled out how the participants in the movement should lead them. For long and narrow passages, there should be pockets for passing cars, and so-called guest pockets for parking cars should be provided near the house. Etc.
In order for this roadway (aka the passage) to become exactly a sidewalk, where you could only drive in for loading and unloading, I wrote its signs above. Or maybe the inspector found fault that your car was not parallel to the edge of the roadway, p.12.2? If in parallel and did not interfere with the movement, I believe that you have every chance to challenge the punishment.
Alexey-361
Good afternoon.
Is it allowed to park or stop at the turn of a multi-lane highway?
If there is no separate sidewalk (marked with a sign,
vectorv Thank you for your opinion. I hope to "overcome" the inspector during the New Year's Eve. I will write about the result.
Well, finally, I have a chance to see him! Please, show me what the sidewalk sign looks like. And then many write about him, but no one shows.
Yes please, since you still don't know.
Only to be precise, not the "Pavement" sign as you write, but the sidewalk marked with the sign (4.5.1. "Pedestrian path".) as I wrote.
Well, here's another takedown. Sign "Pedestrian path", and you write about the sign "Pavement"! I gave a quote, there is no "pedestrian path" there, it says "sidewalk" in Russian in white and about some mysterious sign!
No, I wrote in Russian in blue about " pavement marked with a sign", and my pictures are about the same. It was you who decided to play tricks and pin up, but it didn’t work out)
No matter how you call it, "footpath", "sidewalk", etc., it does not matter, because in order to exclude the passage of vehicles on them, they are designated precisely by this sign with a drawn little man; everyone knows about it, so it is "mysterious" only for you)
The traffic rules in the Russian Federation imply that the designation that indicates the bus stop must have a two-way sign. So he informs drivers in advance, both oncoming and passing cars, that there is a passenger transport stop in this section and it is necessary to take security measures: maneuver according to traffic rules, slow down, do not overtake, and also be attentive to the situation on road.
Referring to traffic rules, such a sign defines a limited section of the road intended for stopping public transport: minibus, bus or trolleybus.
The sign indicating the bus stop is very often misleading for novice drivers. Not having much experience in driving a car, they often violate traffic rules and receive fines for this, so the road sign should be at the beginning of the designated area. Thanks to this placement, the probability that the bus will block the visibility of the sign for other cars is zero.
If the allotted segment exceeds the typical size of a passenger transport stop, it is set again. In addition to the plate, the new rules oblige to apply a special zigzag marking along the entire territory of its operation. 
Sign features
The designation "Bus Stop Place" implies that at the place of its execution:
- If there is one sign and without markings, it is prohibited to park a car within a radius of 15 meters before and after the sign itself.
- It is forbidden to turn around at public transport stops to and from the outer lane.
- The execution of dangerous maneuvers, including driving backwards, overtaking and any rebuilding of the vehicle, is strictly punished.
- You can stop on the opposite extreme lane.
- It is also allowed to turn around directly in front of the sign.
- If the zone has a 1.17 zigzag marking, the rules are even clearer. They say that the marking zone, as well as 15 meters before and after it, is not suitable for parking or maneuvering.
- There is one exception in the SDA, which says that a car that does not interfere with the movement of public vehicles can make a quick stop, boarding or disembarking passengers for a period of no more than five minutes. The parking is on a long period prohibited.
Please note that these rules apply only to bus stops that are marked with a corresponding sign or road marking. If there are none, then parking and maneuvers on these segments road traffic rules allow.
Accumulations of waiting people and arrangement on the sidewalk without symbolic designations do not give the right to consider this area as a stopping place for public transport.
What are the penalties
Driver who violated the rules in the coverage area road sign about the bus stop and was caught by the traffic police, will be forced to pay a fine of approximately one thousand rubles, paragraph 3.1 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. If this offense took place in Moscow, St. Petersburg and their regions, the amount of the fine is tripled (p. 6).
Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, Article 12.19. Violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles
3. Stopping or parking vehicles at a pedestrian crossing and less than 5 meters in front of it, with the exception of a forced stop and the case provided for in paragraph 6 of this article, or violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles on the sidewalk, except for the case provided for in paragraph 6 of this article shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles
In special cases, the case may not be limited to just a monetary penalty. If the car is left for more than 5 minutes in the area designated by public transport parking (or 15 meters before and after), traffic police representatives have full right to drive it from such illegal parking spaces. With such a development of events, the owner of the car will be lucky if he is nearby and drives the car himself. Otherwise, the obligation to pay for transportation and storage of the car in a special parking lot will also fall on his shoulders.
Important nuances
Drivers often manage to avoid spending money. This happens if there are no signs and road markings at the place of the proposed stop. Then the drivers indicate to the traffic police inspectors that this actual stop of the route transport is not indicated in any way, which means that they did not violate the rules and there are no reasons to apply administrative penalties to them in the form of fines.
Most often, there are no signs at the parking lot for the following reasons:
- the stop is new and they have not yet been installed;
- they were dismantled, and the replacement has not yet been installed.
Any of these reasons can exempt the driver from administrative penalties.
Entering into polemics with the inspector and having unquestioning arguments of his innocence, car owners often convince him not to issue a fine. But if the representative of the traffic police still stands his ground, then it is enough to record on video or take a photo of the place of the alleged violation. It is important that on the finished material it can be seen that the stop is not marked with a sign or markings. When it comes to litigation, the judge will in any case take the side of the driver, since he acted within the framework of the law and traffic rules.
