Can you overtake at an intersection? It is unlikely that all drivers will be able to answer this question unambiguously, and not only beginners. Even those who have been driving a car for several years are sometimes incompetent in this matter.
But the topic of intersections on the road is one of the most relevant. Here you need to know not only general rules but also many subtleties. And even more so, do not fly at the speed of the wind, hoping that "maybe it will blow over."
Any intersection is a danger: both pedestrian and pedestrian crossings intersect here. traffic flows. Most accidents occur just on these sections of the road, so drivers must learn the rules of the road by heart and anticipate all possible situations that may occur.
In what cases is it allowed to overtake at an intersection, and in which cases overtaking is prohibited? What nuances should the driver take into account? We will talk about this further.
Attention: crossroads!
Crossroads are of 2 main types:
- adjustable;
- unregulated.
They also differ in shape (T-shaped, U-shaped, X-shaped, etc.). In addition, they can be simple (at the intersection of two roads) and complex (multilateral, ring, squares, junctions).
To the driver’s armament: the accident rate at intersections increases many times if traffic participants decide to overtake. It is under this word that the departure into the oncoming lane is understood.
However, there are no lane delimitations and no markings at the intersection; the division into lanes here is conditional (except for roundabouts).
Let's look into regulations RF and together we will repeat the rules of overtaking at the intersection.
To understand this issue, let's open chapter 11 of the SDA, paragraph 11.4. It is clearly stated here: it is forbidden to overtake passing vehicles at regulated intersections; as well as at unregulated intersections when driving on a secondary road.
We conclude that overtaking at an intersection is possible only in the following cases:
- if there is no traffic light or traffic controller;
- The participant in the movement is driving main road.
Studying traffic rules, understand for yourself the difference between 2 road terms:
- overtaking is an advance of any vehicle with a departure to the oncoming lane and a further return to its previously occupied lane.
- lead is overtaking within your own lane.
Until 2010, overtaking was understood as any advance of a nearby car associated with the departure of vehicles from its lane, but after specified year the interpretation has changed; now overtaking means only such an advance when the driver enters the oncoming lane.
Thus, any advance without going to the “oncoming lane” is not considered overtaking, which means it is not prohibited at any intersections (subject to the observance of the order of passage).
Another innovation: according to the updated paragraph 11.4 of the SDA, overtaking is prohibited if there are pedestrian crossings directly in front of the intersections, regardless of the presence or absence of pedestrians on the roadway.
In accordance with the rules traffic Russian Federation, overtaking at an intersection is allowed only in one case - when the car is moving along the main road. But this mainly applies to roads outside of settlements.
Often, solid markings are applied in front of intersections, which are strictly forbidden to cross (clause 1.1).
Some novice drivers identify green color traffic lights as the main road, but this is fundamentally wrong. There are no main or secondary roads at regulated intersections.
Another nuance that the driver needs to know: the main road can change its direction - right or left. How to assess this situation? Can you overtake?
The traffic rules define the actions of the driver in this case as follows: if the main road changes direction at the intersection, then drivers moving along the priority, as well as along the secondary roads, must be guided by the rules for passing the intersections of equivalent roads (clause 13.10).
This means that the car approaching from the right has the advantage, and overtaking at such an intersection is prohibited.. Remember that such a maneuver is unsafe and can lead to an accident.
There is no need to argue here for a long time: it is forbidden.
If you overtake at a regulated intersection, you can say goodbye to your rights for 4-6 months (Article 12.15).
And in this case, no reasons, even the most compelling ones, will help to evade responsibility.
But you can get ahead of other vehicles, however, if there are 2 or more lanes in the same direction.
Once again, we draw your attention to the concept of "advance": it means to go faster than the car in the next lane, but not to go "oncoming".
Can you overtake at uncontrolled intersections?
As already mentioned, overtaking at an intersection with a drive into the oncoming lane is prohibited. At signalized intersections, overtaking is allowed if:
- you are on the main road;
- while overtaking is not prohibited by the relevant signs;
- this allows the marking line.
If you, making overtaking at an regulated intersection, crossed a solid line, then you cannot avoid punishment.
Overtaking at an unregulated intersection is prohibited if this maneuver takes place on a secondary road (Article 12.15, part 4).
Often the driver has another question: is it allowed to overtake at intersections in a two-lane road?
The answer here is unequivocal: it is allowed, but only at the intersections of unequal roads when driving on a priority road (clause 11.4).
If there are 2 or more lanes in the same and the opposite direction, then you can only be ahead of the curve: it is forbidden to go into the oncoming lane.
Overtaking at an intersection, committed contrary to the rules of the road, is regarded by traffic police officers not just as an erroneous maneuver, but as a violation of traffic rules, which leads to a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4-5 months.
However, this applies only to cases where the driver does not create an emergency on the road.
The repeated commission of such an offense entails the deprivation of the right to drive the vehicle for a period of 1 year, and in case of fixation this offense special technical means(video recording, photo) - to a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Traffic police inspectors often add fines for violating other articles to the punishment for leaving “oncoming traffic”.
For example, a negligent driver may be credited with failing to maintain the proper distance and lateral interval(1500 rubles), violation of the order of passage, because you prevented the oncoming driver from passing first (500 rubles).
First, the driver on the road must be fully aware. remember, that traffic rules for you it is a vital law.
When you are about to start overtaking, make sure that your maneuver is not against the rules of the street and is safe for everyone who is moving at intersections.
When turning left, be sure to look in the rearview mirror, as the driver behind you may be trying to overtake you, and you need to wait a little while moving into another lane.
Responsibility, composure, attentiveness are the main qualities that a driver should have. Don't speed, keep safe distance and follow the traffic signs.
Remember that overtaking at an intersection is allowed only when driving on a priority road that does not change direction, and in the absence of other prohibitions.
Section 11 of the SDA regulates the implementation of three maneuvers at once - overtaking, advancing and oncoming traffic. Before considering each of them in detail, it is necessary to clearly distinguish between them and understand their difference.
This is especially true of "overtaking" and "leading" and you should know exactly what is the difference between these concepts.
Leading is such a movement of the vehicle when its speed is greater than the speed of the vehicle moving along the way. As a result of such actions, one vehicle is ahead of the other, that is, it is ahead.
Overtaking is one of the types of advance, necessarily associated with the exit to the oncoming traffic lane (or the side of the road that is intended for such traffic).
Overtaking is a very complex and dangerous maneuver. The consequences of an incorrectly performed overtaking can affect the driver in two ways: on the one hand, in the form of a significant administrative penalty; on the other hand, in the form of an accident associated, as a rule, with a hard frontal collision.
This is probably why in the real practice of the movement in Russia the next difference the concepts of "overtaking" and "advance": overtaking is associated with leaving for the "oncoming", and advancing - with movement within its direction without leaving for the "oncoming".
The concept of "oncoming traffic" is not specifically considered in the SDA and is not regulated. But it is not difficult to understand it: an oncoming siding is the movement of oncoming vehicles in one section of the road (or in its limited section).
The problem of oncoming traffic is relevant only in the event of obstacles to the rectilinear movement of vehicles.
General principles for overtaking
Immediately make a reservation: section 11 of the SDA in its lion's share is devoted precisely to overtaking and the requirements for it. This is not surprising, because violation of the rules of overtaking can lead to an accident with a head-on collision and very disastrous consequences.
Overtaking is very dangerous!
The second factor that determines Special attention to the principles of overtaking lies in the severity of the administrative punishment for violating the rules for performing this maneuver. A fine for overtaking with a violation of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 4 to 6 months (and in case of a repeated offense - up to a year) is a very weighty argument in favor of refusing to ignore the rules of overtaking.
And finally, the third reason for such close attention Russian traffic rules to the rules of overtaking - this is the complexity of the maneuver itself. When making such a maneuver, the driver must take into account a variety of factors (the speed of his own, overtaken and oncoming cars, traffic intensity, etc.).
That is why there are increased safety requirements for overtaking in our country. Let's analyze them in more detail.
So, before starting to overtake, the driver must make sure that:
1) the lane intended for oncoming traffic, which he plans to use to make a maneuver, is free at a distance sufficient for overtaking, and by his actions he will not create any danger or any obstacles for other traffic participants;
2) the vehicle moving in front has not started any maneuver preventing overtaking (overtaking, bypassing, turning left, U-turn, etc.);
3) the vehicle moving behind has not started the overtaking manoeuvre;
4) however, the most problematic requirement of traffic rules for a driver planning to overtake is the following - the last - provision: before proceeding with this complex maneuver, the driver must make sure that when overtaking is completed, he will be able to safely return to the previously occupied lane without interfering with traffic other vehicles and without creating any danger to traffic by their actions.
Here it is, it would seem, the paradox of the situation: even before the start of overtaking, the driver must make sure that it is safe to complete it. This is precisely the complexity of the maneuver, and the severity of the requirements for its implementation, and the severity of sanctions for violating the rules.
Thus, before overtaking, the driver must make sure of the 4 components of the safety of the proposed maneuver (let's summarize!):
- the lane on which he leaves for overtaking must be free at a sufficient (safe) distance;
- overtaking driver vehicle does not take any action related to the planned departure from the occupied lane;
- the driver of the vehicle moving behind has not himself started the overtaking manoeuvre;
- there is a strong belief in a safe return to the occupied lane after overtaking is completed.
Necessity constant control behind the situation and the alternation of these four security factors - that's main reason overtaking difficulty. While the driver ensures safety in one parameter, the other three are undergoing a change. And so - all the time! Achieving 100% confidence in the safety of overtaking is incredibly difficult. No wonder there is a saying: "If you're not sure, don't overtake!".
However, traffic rules do not only provide for the requirements for a driver who plans to overtake. There are also prohibitions regarding the actions of the driver of the overtaken vehicle. He is prohibited from obstructing overtaking by any means.
For example, increasing speed. And this circumstance in the practice of real traffic occurs most often. The most annoying thing is that the driver of the overtaken vehicle, increasing the speed, does not understand the danger of the situation himself. For in the future frontal collision(due to a long overtaking) broken cars can throw it at him. And he himself will be a participant in the accident.
Therefore, the noble principle of driver's brotherhood is " Golden Rule»: If you are overtaken, take your foot off the gas pedal and let yourself be overtaken. Unless, of course, this is not a Formula 1 race!
Another common way to prevent overtaking is to change the direction of movement in the form of a "rocking" to the left.
By the way, preventing overtaking in any way today is considered one of the elements of dangerous driving.
General No Overtaking Rules
Of particular importance in ensuring road safety are not only and not so much the principles correct overtaking how many conditions under which this maneuver is strictly prohibited. These conditions can be divided into two groups:
2) special.
Consider first the first option.
The general rules prohibiting overtaking should include the requirements of signs, markings and principles for the location of vehicles on the carriageway.
1. Sign "No overtaking" (3.20)
Very clear and informative way to prohibit overtaking.
It is important to remember a number of circumstances related to.
- The "Overtaking is prohibited" sign is valid from the place of its installation to the nearest intersection, the end of the settlement (places of installation of signs 5.24.1, 5.24.2), as well as to the sign "End of the zone of all restrictions" (3.31). The most preferable way to terminate the validity of the sign is to install a special “fly-off” sign “End of the no-overtaking zone” (3.21).
- The sign "Overtaking is prohibited" has three exceptions: overtaking of low-speed vehicles, horse-drawn carts, motorcycles without a side trailer is allowed in its coverage area.
— The “No Overtaking” sign does not prohibit overtaking.
2. Solid lines of horizontal road markings
Another visual way to prohibit overtaking.
A solid marking line (for example, 1.1 or 1.11) forbids itself to be crossed; therefore, overtaking in such conditions is also prohibited.
3. Requirements of section 9 of the SDA "Location of the vehicle on the roadway"
On two-way roads with four or more traffic lanes, driving into oncoming traffic lanes is prohibited. Therefore, overtaking is also prohibited.
And on two-way roads with three lanes for traffic (when the ownership of the middle lane is not defined), only the middle lane can be used for overtaking.
Go to the extreme left lane is strictly prohibited.
The above cases of prohibiting overtaking are quite clear: the restriction on this maneuver is confirmed here by real objects (signs or markings), as well as common sense and safety logic. Therefore, remembering these cases is not at all difficult.
Special rules for the prohibition of overtaking: paragraph 11.4 of the SDA
The creators of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, taking care of the safety of road users, do not really rely on the conscience of Russian drivers, who will be able to soberly assess the danger of the alleged overtaking. And therefore special item Section 11 of the Rules is devoted to listing sections of roads on which it is strictly forbidden to perform this maneuver. Let's look at each of these principles.
1. Overtaking is prohibited at regulated intersections
Let's ask ourselves a question: Why is overtaking not allowed at a regulated intersection?
The answer is elementary and simple. The very fact of the presence of a regulated intersection means that at this intersection of the carriageways, the intensity of the movement of vehicles in all directions is quite high. And the regulatory mechanism (in the form of a traffic light or a traffic controller) is organized here to create a normal, efficient sequence of passage from all directions. Such a sequence will make it possible to exclude long-term idle vehicles in some directions (as is quite possible when organizing traffic with the help of priority signs or without them at all).
Therefore, when the traffic light signal (or ) is turned on (given), the probability of vehicles moving along oncoming lane very large. This is the essence of regulated intersections. Therefore, overtaking at such intersections will be associated with a real possibility of interfering with those vehicles that are moving in the oncoming lane.
2. Overtaking is prohibited at unregulated intersections when driving off the main road
Let's try to understand this requirement "from the inside out". That is, overtaking is allowed on unregulated intersection when the driver enters it on the main road.
This permission is well founded. After all, a driver moving along an intersection along the main road enjoys an advantage over those motorists who enter it in secondary directions and must give way. Therefore, overtaking at such an intersection (when driving on the main road) is relatively safe.
But if the driver enters the intersection on a secondary road, then he, in addition to observing the rules safe overtaking must also take care to give way to vehicles that have priority at the intersection.
This position contributes to the distraction of the driver's attention and may or emergency at the crossroads. Therefore, the driver who is at the secondary entrance to the intersection must refrain from plans to overtake on the territory of the intersection.
True, if he wants to overtake before the intersection, then this is not prohibited (if other traffic rules, and if overtaking is completed before the intersection).
The ban on overtaking is valid exactly at such an intersection, but does not apply to the section of the road immediately following the intersection of carriageways.
3. Overtaking is prohibited at pedestrian crossings
The prohibition of overtaking at pedestrian crossings (both regulated and uncontrolled) should not be criticized. All this is done to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
The motivation of the creators of traffic rules prohibiting overtaking at any pedestrian crossing is understandable and obvious. A driver who intends to make such a dangerous maneuver must be aware of the situation at the pedestrian crossing. However, when overtaking a vehicle here, he inevitably collides with " dead zone» at the crossing. Its visibility is severely limited by the vehicle being overtaken.
And the pedestrian, who at such a moment intends to cross carriageway, will be practically doomed. As sad as it is...
4. Overtaking is prohibited at railway crossings and 100 meters before them
The overtaking ban here is due to the potential danger of the railway crossing itself. This is a very uncomfortable stretch of road even for normal traffic: drivers have to move like a turtle over the rails so as not to damage the suspension, wheels and even power unit your car.
The peculiarity of crossing railway crossings is also due to a number of prohibitions imposed by the Rules when making a U-turn here, moving in reverse, stops and parking. And - of course - overtaking.
But why can't you overtake 100 meters before the railway crossing?
Everything is simple. When overtaking on such a section of the road, it is likely that the driver will interfere with oncoming vehicles that are just leaving the crossing. And this is a direct road to the emergence of a congestion on railway crossing, creating a monstrous danger to movement. How about a train?
But after passing railway tracks the restriction on overtaking is lifted (unless, of course, some other overtaking bans come into effect). For example, a solid marking line.
As numerous practice shows, when organizing traffic before and after a railway crossing on the carriageway, one can most often observe a “single solid” line of horizontal road markings. Therefore, even after passing a railway crossing, the driver must show maximum attention so as not to violate the rules of overtaking.
5. Overtaking is prohibited on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them
Artificial structures are originally dangerous areas roads on which a number of maneuvers are restricted (turning, reversing, partially stopping and parking). Therefore, it is not surprising that overtaking is also prohibited on them.
The ban on overtaking on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them is due to limited space. And in the event of an emergency and the need for a sudden oncoming passing, it will simply be impossible for drivers to maneuver.
6. Overtaking is prohibited in tunnels
The ban on overtaking in tunnels is due to the same limited space as in the previous case.
If it becomes necessary to avoid a collision, drivers simply have no chance in a tunnel.
7. Overtaking is prohibited in areas with limited visibility
Overtaking on dangerous curves, at the very end of the climb and on other sections where there is limited visibility, extremely dangerous.
In such conditions, a driver who intends to overtake does not have all the information about the safety of the maneuver; that is why the Rules categorically prohibit its implementation.
Vehicle advance
Section 11 of the SDA speaks very sparingly about the advance and practically does not impose requirements for its implementation. From this we can conclude that the advance of vehicles is allowed everywhere and always.
This is partly true, since the advance maneuver, in principle, does not carry any particular danger: the driver who performs it does not enter the oncoming traffic lane.
However, when advancing at a pedestrian crossing, the driver is still obliged to make sure that his maneuver is safe.
So, when ahead of a vehicle that has closed the visibility of an unregulated pedestrian crossing, the driver must make sure that there are no pedestrians in front of this vehicle. If they are, give way to them.
In other cases, the advance of any vehicles is not regulated by the Rules, and, therefore, the driver is free to independently plan his actions, in accordance with the principles of traffic safety.
Oncoming traffic
It happens in the life of a driver and one more case - difficult oncoming traffic. The presence of an obstacle on the roadway forces you to go around it in the oncoming lane. And this is where the rule applies. common sense»: the driver, on the lane of which there is an obstacle, is obliged to give way to an oncoming vehicle.
Agree, quite a reasonable requirement.
However, not all so simple. According to the traffic rules, on sections of roads with steep slopes, slopes must be marked with appropriate warning signs (1.13 " Steep descent” and 1.14 “Steep climb”), different rules apply. They may seem paradoxical, but this is a misleading impression.
Regardless of the location of the obstacle on the roadway, the driver moving uphill enjoys the advantage; A downhill driver must give way.
Of course, this is a very "dangerous" rule. A driver moving downhill can simply forget about his obligation in these conditions to give way to an oncoming car, which at that moment enjoys the advantage.
What guided the creators of traffic rules, regulating the actions of drivers in this way? But what!
- Stopping on the rise means that it will be very difficult to get under way uphill.
- What if the “handbrake” (parking brake system) does not work for a person moving uphill.
- A car going uphill is overloaded. The driver will have additional difficulties with starting off on the rise.
- Ice on the road. Or wet pavement. In such conditions, you can start to slip.
And in all the situations described, a congestion is possible.
Yes, and purely humanly: in any case, the driver moving downhill is in more comfortable conditions than his counterpart climbing the hill.
Thus, the "pluses" of this rule are obvious. But there is one "minus" here - the driver's memory. Therefore, the "golden rule" for each driver in the described conditions will be the following "double-edged" principle:
- You go down - give way to the oncoming one (suddenly the oncoming driver remembers his preferential right to travel).
- You go up - do not rush to take advantage (suddenly the oncoming driver forgot that he had to give way).
Summarizing the consideration of this vast topic, one can make one general conclusion: if the driver cares about his own safety, then when performing overtaking and advancing maneuvers, as well as difficult oncoming traffic, he will show maximum care, precaution and caution. Naturally, adding to these positive qualities and a clear knowledge of the requirements of Section 11 of the Rules of the Road.
Video lesson will help to consolidate knowledge on the topic of overtaking, advancing, oncoming traffic:
Car products compare by price and quality >>>
SDA define overtaking as an advance of one or more vehicles associated with the exit to the lane (side of the carriageway) for oncoming traffic and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane (side of the carriageway). Therefore, overtaking is always associated with rebuilding, as well as with the lead. All these terms are given in the Rules.
11.1. Before overtaking, the driver must make sure that the lane he is going to enter is free at a distance sufficient for overtaking and that in the process of overtaking he will not endanger traffic and interfere with other road users.
11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking if:
- the vehicle moving ahead overtakes or avoids an obstacle;
- a vehicle ahead in the same lane has signaled a left turn;
- the vehicle following it has started to overtake;
- upon completion of overtaking, he will not be able to return to the previously occupied lane without endangering traffic and interfering with the vehicle being overtaken.
when it is not prohibited by traffic rules and is safe. When completing an overtaking, do not turn sharply to the right to return to the previously occupied lane (drivers call such actions “cutting”). You should start changing lanes to the right lane, after turning on the right turn signal and ahead of the overtaken person by about 20-30m.
11.3. The driver of the vehicle being overtaken is prohibited from preventing overtaking by increasing the speed of movement or by other actions.
, noticing the overtaking signal, should not increase speed and “press” the overtaking person, continuing to move in the middle of the carriageway. Your safety depends on how quickly you are overtaken. If the situation is unacceptable for overtaking, and the driver behind cannot recognize the danger, he should be warned with a hand gesture or by briefly turning on the left turn signal.
11.4. Overtaking prohibited:
- on regulated intersections, as well as at unregulated intersections when driving on a road that is not the main one;
- at pedestrian crossings;
- at railway crossings and closer than 100 meters in front of them;
- on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them, as well as in tunnels;
- at the end of a climb, on dangerous curves, and in other areas where visibility is limited.

At unregulated intersections, overtaking is allowed only when driving on the main road.
11.5. The advance of vehicles when passing pedestrian crossings is carried out taking into account the requirements of paragraph of the Rules.
11.6. If, outside built-up areas, overtaking or advancing a slow-moving vehicle, a vehicle carrying bulky cargo, or a vehicle moving at a speed not exceeding 30 km / h, are difficult, the driver of such a vehicle must take as much to the right as possible, and if necessary, stop to let the vehicles following him pass.
11.7. If the oncoming traffic is difficult, the driver on whose side there is an obstacle must give way. Give way in the presence of an obstacle on the slopes marked with signs and must be the driver of the vehicle moving downhill.

The requirement of this paragraph applies not only to roads, but also to the territories adjacent to them, which include .
The answer to the question of whether overtaking on the right is allowed in 2019 is not entirely unambiguous, but quite understandable. By itself, overtaking on the right simply does not exist (and therefore there is no answer whether it is allowed), since this kind of maneuver is called an advance, while an advance on the right is now allowed.

Overtaking on the right was previously not allowed and was considered a violation. Now this concept has been re-called lead and allowed.
Finally, answer in what cases overtaking allowed right, you can't. To say that in none is inaccurate, it is more correct to indicate that advance is allowed on the right.
Such an advance can only be made along the track itself, but not along the space on the right, where cars cannot move, even if using it makes it possible to overtake a number of traffic participants.
In general, this maneuver is allowed only if a number of rules are observed and driving carefully, not interfering with others.
Basic definitions
Overtaking is currently understood as the advance of one vehicle by another, during which the overtaking vehicle had to drive either to the other side of the highway (if it is moving on a two-lane road) or to the middle lane (if the road is three-lane).
In the absence of such a maneuver, the action is not considered as overtaking. In total, overtaking consists of three stages.
First, the overtaking car is rebuilt from the same lane with the vehicle being overtaken to the next lane on the left (either to the middle lane or to the opposite lane).
Following, moving along this lane, the overtaking car takes a position in front of the overtaken one. Finally, it returns to the previous lane, but already in front of the overtaken car.
Leading is understood as the movement of one vehicle, first located behind with more high speed than another car that was in front which led to the fact that the first vehicle was in front.
There are no additional conditions. Overtaking, therefore, is also a lead, but with additional conditions, which are described in the previous paragraphs.
What are the types of advance cars
So, there are two types of advance of the car, namely the actual advance and overtaking (which is included in the category "advance" along with the advance in the narrow sense).
The differences between them are:
| When overtaking | It is necessary to go into the oncoming lane, and if you are ahead of it, this is not required |
| There are many restrictions when overtaking | And to get ahead, there is one thing - a ban on its implementation on a number of sections of the route, including in the transition zone, at a crossroads, at a railway crossing, in a tunnel and on an overpass, as well as on the final stretch of the ascent and on a section of the route with insufficient visibility |
| With incorrect overtaking | The driver is punished under a special article of the Code of Administrative Offenses (article 12), and if the rule of advancing is violated, there is no article |
| Overtaking is allowed only on the left | And advance - both left and right |
There is also the concept of rebuilding, it involves the transition of the vehicle to a more left lane and further movement by her.
Since the traffic on this lane is faster than on the previous one, he will have to overtake other cars occupying the lane on which this vehicle was before rebuilding. However, this will be the usual lead.
Current regulatory framework
Current normative base regarding overtaking consists of the following documents:
- (or traffic rules);
Features of overtaking on the right side
An essential feature of overtaking with right side in that it is correct to call it an advance.
The reason for this is obvious, the car does not move to the oncoming lane, which can also be used by vehicles with the opposite direction of movement, but, on the contrary, goes to the right.
Therefore, from a formal point of view, such a maneuver should be called exactly ahead of time. In accordance with the rules of the road this action in some cases will be allowed.
In what case will this maneuver be legal according to traffic rules
Previously, this maneuver was considered a violation, but now it is quite possible. Overtaking the vehicle in front will be permitted when the whole line conditions:
| The right lane is not occupied by cars | In other words, when rebuilding on it, the car will not interfere with the movement of any vehicle |
| When making a rebuild | The car will not enter the territory where it is forbidden to move, including footpaths, sidewalks, shoulders, etc., on which only mopeds are allowed |
| On the roadbed | A solid marking line has not been drawn, which would make such movement unacceptable, and signs have not been installed prohibiting changing lanes to the right lane |
| In order to get ahead | |
| There is no need to accelerate to a speed prohibited on this route by road signs | The visibility in this area is such that it does not interfere with the advance, in particular due to proper weather conditions and no turns near |
As a result, the theoretically no longer excluded lead on the right is performed quite rarely in practice, although nothing prevents it from fulfilling all the listed rules.
Whether a maneuver is prohibited or not under current conditions, the driver determines independently. But it is desirable for him to take into account that the guilt is most often assigned to the initiator of overtaking. Exists a special case, in which the detour of the car on the right was allowed before.
If at an intersection front car stood on the lane from which the turn to the left is allowed, preparing for this maneuver, then the next car in that de lane, which is going to move straight, can change lanes and then on the right, bypassing the car that is preparing to turn and standing still, return to the previous lane .
Allowed in front of a moving vehicle
Overtaking when a moving vehicle is in front is allowed according to general criteria, namely, in the case when the overtaking vehicle does not interfere with it.
It is necessary to make sure that the distance between the overtaking car and the car following it is sufficient to avoid an emergency.
Forbidden
In practice, the lead on the right in most cases occurs in the space of one of the types given in the following list, including the shoulder and.
It is for this reason that it is often associated with violation. Rebuilding in the empty row on the right (designed for regular cars) followed by a return to its row was previously also prohibited.
However, it does not involve movement into a road area used by vehicles other than regular cars. This ban has now been lifted.
So, this maneuver is prohibited if the driver needs to enter the following areas for its implementation:
- sidewalk;
- roadside;
- lane reserved for curation public transport;
- bike path.
It is also invalid when:
How to do it right
In order to carry out lead on the right in a correct way, a number of conditions must be met:
| First of all, you need to install | That the more right lane is not occupied across the entire width, there are no vehicles left in the parking lot on it |
| Need to make sure | That on this stretch there are no public transport stops, pedestrian crossings and exits from |
| Need to make sure | In the absence of road signs prohibiting passing on the right |
| It is required to assess the condition of the asphalt in that place | Where the driver overtakes, if there is moisture on the surface of the ice, the car can lose control and go off the track., being in a ditch |
| Required to maintain distance between vehicles | — |
| Before crossing to the lane on the right | It is recommended to downshift and look around again |
| The best distance before the start of overtaking between the overtaken and the overtaker | Two bodies of the second vehicle |
| By overtaking the car | You need to make sure that when you change lanes back to the previous lane, the car will not interfere with other vehicles |
In turn, the driver, in relation to whom they are advancing on the right, must not be hindered.
This requirement also applies to a situation where the lead performs a maneuver with a clear violation of the rules.
What is the penalty
There is no penalty directly for overtaking on the right, since there is no corresponding article, since, as noted above, there is no such concept itself.
At the same time, due to the fact that there are no special restrictions for advancing, there are also no norms punishing for the incorrect execution of advancing itself.
The fine is levied only for specific actions committed in the process of advancing, which violate certain norms.
In particular:
| When leaving in the process of advancing another vehicle | The driver will have to pay 5,000 rubles to the sidewalk or roadside, this amount exceeds the amount of the fine for normal movement on the sidewalk or roadside, for which the driver will be charged 1,500 rubles |
| When ahead on the right | Performed at an unregulated pedestrian crossing, the amount of the fine will be 1,500 rubles |
| Repeated commission of the above violations will lead to | That traffic police officers will withdraw the rights from a motorist for a period of one year, an act committed within a year after the previous one is considered repeated, after this period the sanction will be equal to that established for the first violation |
| In case of departure | In the course of this maneuver, on the sidewalk or on the bike path, the driver will have to part in favor of the state with 2000 rubles |
I often see a situation where an obviously two-lane road is used as a four-lane one based on the principle "move over, I have a Lexus / crossover / impudence car".
Is it illegal to overtake on a crossing under such conditions?
How will traffic police officers / car drivers establish guilt / innocence of a driver?
I'll say more. IDPS themselves violate and point-blank do not notice this violation.
Anton if, when passing through the crossing, the car partially drives in the oncoming lane, then this is a violation.
If traffic police officers see this violation, then with a high probability the driver will be deprived of his license or receive a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Good luck on the roads!
Now the question is:
Lead concrete examples when drivers should be guided by road signs, if the meanings of road signs and horizontal marking lines contradict each other, or the markings are not sufficiently distinguishable?
I'm trying to prove that signs don't have advantages, and Serpiph just explains why they don't.
In general, is Appendix 2 to the SDA a myth?
for example, a gap in a continuous markup and in front of it a sign "no U-turn" (it seems like it was possible to turn around, the markup does not prohibit, but no, the sign does not allow). or the opposite situation, solid markings and a temporary "move only to the left" sign. full of such situations.
and yes, there are no contradictions with continuous markings and the abolition of the "no overtaking" sign. the sign allows overtaking, just markings in this place does not allow exit to the oncoming lane, the sign will be valid until the next intersection, which may still be hell when the markings change 100 times
Dmitry-230
Good afternoon
Dmitry-230, indeed, overtaking at such an intersection is allowed: 11.4. Overtaking prohibited:
on regulated crossroads, as well as on unregulated crossroads when driving on a road that is not the main one; Please note that overtaking is allowed only at this intersection.
at the same time, markings are applied in the form of a continuousYou cannot overtake before the intersection (solid markings). Try to start and finish overtaking at the intersection itself (fun joke). If you finish overtaking after the intersection, you can lose your license (it’s also solid there), although there are no traffic violations, it will be quite difficult to prove that you started overtaking at the intersection itself (and this is already serious).
GDW nik got ahead of me)) but still I'll put in my "five cents":
Dmitry, not allowed, A not prohibited. Do you catch the difference?One of the signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 is installed on the track, judging by the article, overtaking is allowed on this section.
Actually, they don't contradict each other. complement each other!In fact, the sign contradicts the markings (the sign allows overtaking at an unregulated crossroads, while the markings are solid)
The dotted line is applied only at the intersection, allowing you to turn (turn around). Agree, it is unlikely that you will have time to start and finish overtaking within a given intersection, even, say, a cyclist or a horse with a cart. And on the rest of the road it is clear: a solid line - prohibits overtaking!What if, at the same time, the markings are in the form of a solid one, and immediately before the intersection of the carriageways - dotted. Q: Is overtaking allowed in this situation?
Good afternoon
One of the signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 is installed on the track, judging by the article, overtaking is allowed on this section. What if, at the same time, the markings are in the form of a solid one, and immediately before the intersection of the carriageways - dotted.
In fact this situation the sign contradicts the markings (the sign allows overtaking at an unregulated crossroads, while the markings are solid)
Q: Is overtaking allowed in this situation?
According to traffic rules, the sign has priority - you can!
In practice, "oncoming traffic" is impossible (((5 rubles or deprivation.
We have already discussed on this forum, but we have not come to a consensus. It seems that according to the law it is possible, but the courts take the side of the traffic police (((
serve, do not write nonsense! By what law is the "priority sign" allowed overtaking? Those. Do you think he also allows you to travel with more speed, turn where it is forbidden, stand where it is forbidden, etc. and so on.))
traffic rules of the Russian Federation. 2. Signs of priority.
Priority signs scheduling intersections, crossings of carriageways or narrow sections of the road.
2.3.1. "Intersection with secondary road."
2.3.2 - 2.3.7. "Connection secondary road".
These signs warn that there is an unequal intersection ahead, at which you have an advantage. More they Nothing do not allow and do not forbid! You are still required to drive within the allocated lanes and follow all signs and markings.
P.S. I don’t know what you were arguing about before, but a sign (including a temporary one) will take precedence over markup if one action(turn, stop, etc.) they claim otherwise(should/prohibited).
Maxim-107
Hello!
An interesting situation happened to me:
I move along the highway and make an exit into the oncoming traffic lane, after passing the intersection while overtaking a passing freight vehicle. Made an exit to the oncoming traffic lane in the marking area 1.6 (Appendix 2 to the SDA), completed the maneuver in the area of the road markings 1.5 (Appendix 2 to the SDA) and at the same time in the area of the sign 3.20 (Appendix 2 to the SDA) "Overtaking is prohibited" , installed on the right side in the direction of travel, at a distance of about 50-60 meters from the beginning of the marking zone 1.6. I did not know about the installation or relocation of the sign on this section of the road. Set sign did not see due to overtaking a freight vehicle.
As it turned out, the sign was moved road services 7-10 days before the story happened.
At the same time, the traffic police inspector drew up a diagram that confirms the exit to the oncoming lane to the sign 3.20 and attached video materials on which the very moment of overtaking in the oncoming lane (without the moment of exit) and the position of vehicles and the sign 3.20 are visible.
What are the chances of not losing the right to drive a vehicle? And is there any chance of getting an acquittal in court?
Maxim-107, hello! Judging by your description, you did not violate the requirements of road markings. Sign 3.20 remains, the effect of which begins from the place of its installation. I copy the footnote to the prohibition signs according to traffic rules: The zone of action of signs 3.16, 3.20, 3.22, 3.24, 3.26 - 3.30 extends from the place where the sign was installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in settlements in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement. Now let's figure out what overtaking is, again a quote from clause 1.2 of the SDA: "Overtaking" - advance of one or more vehicles associated with the exit to the lane (side of the carriageway) intended for oncoming traffic, and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane (side of the carriageway). Judging by the definition, overtaking is a change to an oncoming lane, an advance, a change of direction (return) to a previously occupied lane.
attached video materials on which the very moment of overtaking in the oncoming lane is visible (without the moment of departure)If you explain this to the judge, you will not escape punishment. In fact, the presence of the vehicle in the oncoming lane was recorded (only half of overtaking).
the traffic police inspector drew up a diagram that confirms the exit to the oncoming lane to the sign 3.20It is this scheme that will achieve acquittal in court. Once the exit to the oncoming lane is up to the sign 3.20 (it has not yet acted there), there is no violation. But to complete the overtaking (just what is on the video), the sign 3.20 does not prohibit.
Hello! Tell me how to be! I started overtaking a truck on a dotted lane, while I was overtaking a continuous lane passed (I still didn’t understand where it came from, there were no intersections, I was driving along the highway), but I finished overtaking on a dotted lane, the traffic police was driving behind I shot it on the phone, the protocol also indicated that it was filmed on iPhone 6 phone (although special equipment and cameras are installed in the car, apparently they were turned off). On the video, when overtaking, my registration plates are not visible, it is visible only when the traffic police drove up from behind and began to stop me. Lost rights? Did they say they would take it to court or would there be a fine?
Said-3, recently discussed similar case. (There really is one comrade tried from the Rules Security DD - make Rules of Absurdity). Read and draw the right conclusions.
The phone is quite proof of your violation, especially since the number is visible when they caught up.
If there was no overtaking warning sign or marking 1.6, you can explain to the court why you did not return to your lane on time, and you will behave adequately - this will only help you get a fine.
servit, you misinterpret concepts. "Not prohibited" is not the same as "allowed". Imagine Country N, where, for example, smoking is NOT prohibited by law. There is a subject A in the country where smoking is prohibited. Federal laws take precedence, however, the smoking ban does not contradict them in any way, because there is no law that says "it is allowed to smoke everywhere", there is simply no prohibition. Likewise with signs. If he does not prohibit something, it does not mean that he allows it.
Good afternoon Please tell me, I left the secondary road turning to the left (I missed the car on the left), looked to the right, started moving, and on the left in the oncoming lane, the car was moving towards me, it turns out that there was a collision with the front bumpers. In front of her crosswalk unregulated in 10-15 meters, and then continuous (the driver planned to drive through a pedestrian crossing and, breaking the continuous one, make a left turn). I was considered guilty, because I have a departure from a secondary ... is it fair? I will be very grateful to you if you express your opinion. Thank you.
Irina-100, Hello!
following from your description, the collision occurred outside the intersection, at least 20 meters away, when you were already moving along the main one, and even passed the solid separating the flows and the p / transition; and he was driving in the opposite direction, not even reaching this solid one in front of the intersection. I don't see you personally breaking the Rules!
Or did you explain something wrong? Then there would be a link to the Yandex panorama indicating the place of the accident.
If you explained it that way when analyzing the accident, then you made you the culprit correctly. If you have already moved along the main road, why remember the intersection? It was your explanation of the circumstances that made you the culprit.leaving the secondary road turning left
You are right, this is not an intersection, a car standing in a traffic jam on the left missed me on the main street on laboratory avenue and I drove out turning left, from the secondary Chichurinskaya street, at that time a girl was driving on the left, overtaking in the oncoming lane, there was a traffic jam in her lane , the cars were standing, and we met with her bumpers. For all that, I simply describe the situation that in her direction of movement forward there is an unregulated pedestrian crossing in 10 meters, i.e. from the street I left, the crossing was on my right), before the crossing there was a dashed line and immediately after it was solid. According to the girl, she wanted to cross the pedestrian crossing, cross the continuous turn to the left.
It became a little clearer. The intersection of roads, secondary with the main one, is still called a crossroads, Irina. You, when leaving the secondary, were obliged to give in to everyone, clause 13.9 of the SDA, which you did not. Accordingly, an accident was created at (or immediately after) the intersection.
The rules do not prohibit, when moving along the main road, overtaking at an unregulated intersection, unless it is prohibited by signs or markings. Therefore, that girl did not violate anything, at least until your collision (and she simply did not see the presence of a solid one behind the intersection). Now, if the continuous one had begun even before the intersection, then there would most likely be a roundabout, which does not remove the blame from you at all.
Thank you very much!
My pleasure. A typical situation is when a polite driver lets pass, and at this time another one is driving in the next lane or some hurried person is overtaking, physically not having time to slow down. In the future, even if you are passed, drive past him slowly, making sure that no one is flying to the left (as well as to the right). Good luck!
Sergey-514
But what about these accidents in the city and collisions with pedestrians by drivers who fly with bulging eyes and do not think what or who is on their right. I am in favor of banning overtaking and overtaking on the right before. Examples show that this is a dangerous maneuver. And especially in bad hands .
No, sorry, this is nonsense. For traffic rules do not prohibit driving in the left lane in the city, say, with not the highest speed within the allowed limit.
is it possible to overtake a vehicle in this case: if the driver did not notice road sign, prohibiting overtaking and he was guided in winter time on road markings allowing overtaking of a vehicle and if at the same time there was a road sign forbidding overtaking of a vehicle at the same place, traffic cops say that in winter you should only focus on road signs ??? and why at the same time in one place there is a road sign prohibiting overtaking and a marking allowing overtaking of a vehicle, opposite to each other, what to do in this case ???? pay a fine if the protocol was drawn up and the receipt did not come for the fine ???
Irina, cases under part 4 of article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses are considered by judges. Therefore, a protocol was drawn up. If a fine is imposed at the court, you will be able to pay it after receiving a copy of the decision. If the deprivation of rights is imposed on the court, then you will not have to pay anything.
The fact that the driver did not notice the road sign does not relieve him of responsibility.
With the combination of road signs and markings you specified, you can only overtake slow-moving vehicles, horse-drawn carts, bicycles, mopeds and two-wheeled motorcycles without a stroller. .
Good luck on the roads!
Good afternoon. Tell me, please, are there any penalties (what) for overtaking a vehicle, if there is a sign " Repair work", but the bar is not continuous.
Andrey-373
I understand that I will not be able to overtake if the car that goes first in front of me starts doing it? But what if I went to overtake according to the rules and started to outperform 3 or more cars and ran into an overtaking with a less powerful engine? What then? Thanks for your explanations!
I won't be able to overtake if the first car in front of me starts to overtake?
You can not:
a vehicle ahead in the same lane has signaled a left turn;
But what if I went to overtake according to the rules and started to outperform 3 or more cars and ran into an overtaking with a less powerful engine? What then? Thanks for your explanations!
"Overtake" has already overtaken. You were not allowed to start overtaking:
11.2. The driver is prohibited from overtaking if:
the vehicle moving ahead overtakes or avoids an obstacle;
That is, advance of one or several vehicles associated with the exit to the lane (side of the carriageway) intended for oncoming traffic, and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane (side of the carriageway) - can only ONE car.
Marina, Do you mean sign 1.25 "Road works"?
If yes, then the sign itself does not prohibit overtaking. If there are no other conditions prohibiting overtaking, then this maneuver can be performed.
Good luck on the roads!
What, I can’t complete overtaking through a solid marking line now?
Alexander-642
Maxim, and if, when overtaking, you see that 1 more car behind you started overtaking on an intermittent, when overtaking the 2nd vehicle, it was noticed that the intermittent ends, it is already pointless to press the brake to refuse the maneuver. The car that was behind turned out to be Traffic police, at the request of which I had to stop. Overtaking was carried out at night, so nothing was visible except for the headlights. They wrote out a protocol, there is video filming. How to correctly explain the situation in court? the road is not so far visible in order to have time to overtake before the end of the intermittent one. You also can’t go back because there was a car behind ..... In this case, is it possible to avoid a fine? because there can be no talk of deprivation .... signs we are not installed above the lane, for their better view along the highway in the villages.
Alexander-642, You should not care if there is another car behind you or not, even if it is a traffic police crew. You saw that you cannot complete the overtaking without violating the traffic rules, you need to slow down and change lanes to the right before the solid line begins to your right. Imagine that a sign 3.1 with a sign 8.14 appeared in front of you on your lane. What are you going to do? Slow down and change lanes, passing the car on the right. The same goes for overtaking. Actually, there is a clause in the traffic rules
10.1. The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit, taking into account the traffic intensity, the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo, road and meteorological conditions, in particular visibility in the direction of travel. The speed must provide the driver with the possibility of constant control over the movement of the vehicle in order to comply with the requirements of the Rules.
If there is a danger to traffic that the driver is able to detect, he must take possible measures to slow down until the vehicle comes to a halt.
If during overtaking you cannot control the entire overtaking path, do not overtake, you will be safer.
As for punishment, the court will choose the measure of punishment, since under part 4 of clause 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, it can either fine you or deprive you of your rights. If you have video recording, you have very little chance of avoiding punishment. It is necessary to study the record itself, as far as it allows you to identify your car and the fact of being in an oncoming lane when marking 1.1 appears. But keep in mind, the more you deny, the higher the chances of deprivation of rights instead of a fine.
It turns out now at intersections with markings, overtaking is prohibited on any road. Is there any way to warn about this in advance? The city just has short transitions from strokes to long markings.
Olga, Hello.
From the point of view of traffic rules, you are not required to slow down.
However, your husband is considering the situation from a security point of view. And in this scenario, it’s better to slow down a little and let the hurried person pass than to get into an accident and suffer. Naturally, it is not necessary to brake at every overtaking. However, if a truck is overtaking you, then it makes sense to slow down.
Good luck on the roads!
