Compliance speed limit on the road is an important action, since the life and health of participants depends on it traffic. However, domestic drivers are still wondering how much you can exceed the speed limit without a fine. This is due to the peculiarities of the current traffic rules in Russia, in particular Chapter 10 and the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The established limits depend on various external circumstances. These factors include:
- technical characteristics of the vehicle and its type, for example, a passenger car, motorcycle or bus, etc.;
- road location area, whether it will be in the settlement or outside it, and their category determined by law;
- providing certain transport functions, which may include the movement of dangerous goods, towing or the transport of a large number of passengers.
In order not to be mistaken, you need to observe a certain speed limit. It's installed current Rules traffic:
- the permitted speed in the city in the courtyards and residential areas is a maximum of 20 km / h;
- maximum speed in the city or within any settlement is limited to 60 km / h;
- trucks transporting people outside cities and transport transporting children on any type of road should not exceed 60 km/h;
- violation of the speed limit will be a bus or passenger car, which, when towing out of town, will go faster than 70 km / h;
- motorcycles outside cities, buses on the roads, cars and trucks can travel up to 90 km / h;
- motorway paths allow you to accelerate cars and trucks less than 3.5 tons up to 110 km/h.
It is important to know that in the subjects of the Federation, regional executive bodies have the right to independently set a higher threshold for the maximum speed limit in certain sections, designating them with the appropriate infrastructure, when this does not have a negative impact on the traffic situation.
The highest speed value with which any car can move in Russia is 130 km / h. This parameter must be respected for all public roads.
Set punishment
The legislation differentiates penalties, which depend on the degree of excess. The further the arrow on the speedometer deviates, the more the driver will eventually have to pay. Correlation of violation and punishment:
- if the car was driving on a section of the road with a speed deviation of more than 20 and less than 40 km / h, then the punishment is 500 rubles;
- when the interval was 40-60 km / h, then the sanctions in accordance with Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Violations will amount to 1000-1500 rubles;
- when exceeding 60-80 km per hour, you will have to part with 2-2.5 thousand rubles. and rights for 4-6 months;
- if the car was moving even faster, then the driver’s license will be taken away for six months along with 5 thousand rubles.
A driver for a repeated violation that occurred within a year from the moment of the first excess and was personally identified by the traffic police officer will be punished with an additional 2-2.5 thousand rubles. and get banned for a year. If the fixation was carried out with the help of cameras, automatic means of fixation, then the payment amount will reach 5000 rubles, but at the same time they do not have the right to deprive driving license.
Permissible excess of speed in Russia does not exist, since any excess of the speed limit is a violation. The driver must comply with traffic rules. Permitted speeding is most often perceived by drivers as an interval above the limit by 20 km / h or less. This is due to the fact that such a high-speed segment is not penalized.
Ways of fixing traffic offenses
A traffic police officer uses means of fixation to identify unacceptable speeding in Russia. They are radars and are divided into the following groups:
- portable;
- stationary;
- mobile.
The difference between portable and mobile is that the first ones work from the inspector's hand, and the second ones are based on the car body for a clear fixation. After detecting a violation, the traffic police officer is obliged to carry out a number of actions:
- show the driver the readings on the device;
- provide evidence that the data relates to specific car, if the flow of vehicles is visible;
- if necessary, demonstrate the certificate for the device, which will show the date of the last metrological verification and indicate the error of this equipment.
If the culprit agrees with the violation, then the inspector writes out the appropriate resolution and gives a copy. When there is no consent from the driver, the event is drawn up in the form of an administrative protocol and sent to the court or territorial traffic police.
Stationary devices for fixing offenses are mounted on special structures and placed on the most intensive sections of roads, where a high accident rate has recently been recorded. The account is kept on the state automobile numbers.
The automatically collected data is sent to a single information center, where decisions are formed on their basis. Everything is then printed and sent. by registered mail vehicle owners. This process takes about 3 days. The amount of the fine is taken according to the lower threshold of the fork established by law.
It is important to know that the owner of the car will receive the protocol, regardless of who was driving at that time.
The driver has the legal right to save on paying the fine issued by the inspector. It is enough to pay the established amount no later than 20 days after the sentencing. You can also challenge the actions of the guards in court.
If we are talking about an automatic method of fixing, then you need to challenge it through the traffic police department by writing them a complaint drawn up with the help of professional lawyers. It is also worth knowing that if speeding was accompanied by an accident, then this fact does not fall under the insured event, so financial compensation in this case should not be expected.
Not far from the truth is the one who believes that the vast majority of accidents on Russian roads occurs due to an incorrectly selected speed mode. "The quieter you go, the further you'll get!". You say, an outdated saying? By no means! The correct choice of speed allows the driver to correctly assess the situation on the road - to feel and prevent danger.
Many drivers, when choosing a speed, think purely maximalist: at what speed should I drive so as not to be punished for exceeding? The principles of elementary safety, as a rule, are not taken into account. And absolutely in vain. After all, driving at a safe and adequate speed will avoid an accident or minimize the terrible consequences of an accident. And it doesn’t matter at all that the other driver is the culprit, and not you.
Relevance of the problem right choice speeds are proved by the Rules of the Road themselves. Speed issues on the roads Russian Federation regulated:
- signs and markings;
- special section of traffic rules.
Signs and markings regulating the speed limit
The most obvious way to regulate the speed limit are road signs and markings. Such options very clearly limit the maximum and minimum speed of vehicles.
1. Sign "Maximum speed limit" (3.24)
The prohibition sign "Maximum speed limit" (3.24) is the most popular on the road. In the area of the sign, drivers are prohibited from moving at a speed exceeding the value indicated on the sign.
By the way, in combination it is also the sign most beloved by traffic cops. Very often, in the area of the sign that limits the speed limit on the road, you can find either a stationary or a portable radar. And sometimes the traffic police inspectors themselves can be located in such areas.
Paradoxically, many drivers see the "Maximum Speed Limit" sign as their enemy. This is not true. The sign limiting the speed of movement is not in vain: most likely, it was installed in front of some dangerous area roads where the driver should be forced to slow down for maximum safety.
For example, when approaching a crosswalk...
or to a place of frequent appearance of children ...
or to artificial unevenness ...
or to a road repair site…
That is why the driver should regard the indicated sign as his ally and adviser, seeking to protect him from an accident. True, sometimes traffic police officers can create “traps” with the help of a sign - demands to reduce speed that are unjustified by the situation.
But the last example is still an exception. Let's think positive!
2. Sign "Minimum speed limit" (4.6)
There are sections of roads on which it would be advisable to regulate not the maximum, but the minimum speed. For example, to prevent traffic jams or congestion. For this purpose, traffic rules apply a special prescriptive sign - "Restriction minimum speed».
And most often this restriction applies to specific lane movement. This requirement optimizes the movement process and makes it more efficient.
3. Sign "Beginning of lane" (5.15.3)
Appearance new lane for movement (especially on the rise), as a rule, it is supplied with a sign of special requirements - “Beginning of the lane”.
As you can see, in the sign field there are signs limiting the minimum speed. Therefore, the driver must follow the requirements of the sign when choosing a speed mode when driving in a particular lane.
4. Sign "Zone with maximum speed limit" (5.31)
Another sign of special regulations prohibits the driver from driving in excess of the specified speed limit.
Such a restriction applies to both sides of the road and extends exclusively to the stop sign - "End of the zone with a maximum speed limit" (5.32).
5. Sign "General maximum speed limits" (6.1)
This information sign is installed at the checkpoint (checkpoints) at the entrance to the territory of our country.
The sign limits nothing and no one; it just informs general principles speed limits in the Russian Federation.
The vast majority of drivers undeservedly ignore the "Recommended speed" sign. They think this way: the sign simply recommends adhering to the specified speed limit, but this recommendation is not of any mandatory nature.
And let's look at the installation of the sign in a different way. Why is it installed? Obviously, this is due to some kind of danger to the movement. And now main question: "Should the driver ignore the fact of danger on the road?".
The question is rhetorical!
7. Horizontal marking 1.24.2, duplicating road sign 3.24
The maximum speed limit set by the corresponding sign can be duplicated by markings.
In the event that the requirements of the sign and markings contradict each other, the driver must follow the instructions of the sign.
Let's make a preliminary conclusion. These methods of speed control are very clear and, therefore, understandable.
However, in addition to the considered signs and markings, there is a special section 10 in the Rules that regulates speed limits on the roads of Russia.
Section 10 SDA: maximum speed
When choosing a speed mode, the driver must take into account the speed limits imposed by the traffic rules on a particular section of the road. If road signs and markings do not indicate a different speed limit, then the driver must follow the general speed limits, which are regulated by Section 10 of the Rules.
IN settlements, the entrances to which are marked with black and white signs "Beginning of the settlement" (5.23.1 and 5.23.2), the maximum speed of vehicles should not exceed 60 km/h.
The maximum speed in the residential area and in the yard areas should not exceed 20 km/h.
However, the maximum permissible speed limit on such sections of the road can be greater than 60 and 20 km/h. This is possible if there is a special decision of the executive authorities in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
This is done to achieve the most efficient traffic on the roads, but taking into account traffic safety. And one more thing: the permitted speed should not exceed the value established for driving on the motorway.
When driving outside a built-up area, the following speed limits apply for specific types of vehicles.
Table: speed limit on the roads of Russia outside settlements

| Category B vehicles | ||
| Cars with a trailer, trucks with GVW over 3.5 tons | ||
| Intercity and small-seat buses, motorcycles | ||
| Other buses | ||
| Transportation of people in the back of a truck | ||
If the owner and owner of a motorway (sign 5.1) or a road for cars (sign 5.3) considers it necessary, then he has the right to increase the speed limit in such sections to 130 and 110 km / h (respectively).
The main requirement for such actions is to ensure the safety of movement at increased speed.
There are also speed limit when towing mechanical vehicles - no more than 50 km / h.
Therefore, every driver in such a mode of motion must ask himself the question: “Will I be able to withstand moving at such a low speed? Wouldn't it be better to call a tow truck and replace towing with transportation?
With regard to traffic in vehicles that carry dangerous, oversized or heavy goods, the choice of the maximum speed here depends on the agreed conditions of transport. At the same time, a special identification mark "Speed Limit" must be placed on the rear surface of the body of such a vehicle.
Another condition that must be taken into account when choosing the speed of movement is the speed limits in accordance with technical specification TS.
The specified speed is determined by the manufacturer and takes into account the design features of the vehicle (for example, the degree of effectiveness of the braking system).
Selecting the maximum speed for special driving conditions
Apart from general restrictions speed limits, each driver, when choosing a speed, must take into account whole line factors related to the conditions in which the movement is carried out. The rules clearly indicate that the driver must take these factors into account.
1. Traffic intensity
The more intense the traffic, the closer the speed of each driver should be to average speed flow movement.
Otherwise, the driver will be forced to constantly rebuild. And this will now be considered.
2. The condition of the vehicle, as well as the cargo
The technical condition of the vehicle, the characteristics of the cargo being transported and other conditions must be taken into account when choosing a speed.
It is hardly worth driving at breakneck speed if the car is obviously faulty or the load is not properly secured.
3. Road conditions
The condition of the roadway is important factor speed selection.
In conditions of poor-quality, slippery or polluted roadway surface, traffic from the maximum allowable speed will be unsafe.
4. Meteorological (weather) conditions
Weather conditions should make serious adjustments to the choice of a safe speed limit.
Rain, fog, snowfall and other natural disasters make it difficult for the driver to see and force a sober-minded motorist to slow down.
5. Conditions of visibility
Limited visibility has one serious danger: if you do not slow down, then stopping way vehicle will exceed the visibility distance.
In such conditions, the driver will detect the obstacle too late and will not have time to stop in time. That is why he is advised to slow down when driving in (near dangerous turns, at the end of climbs and on other similar sections of the road with poor visibility).
In any case, the Rules require the driver to choose the maximum speed in such a way that if there is a danger to traffic or any obstacle, he can stop without an accident and avoid an accident.
The correct choice of the maximum speed is one of the conditions for precise control over the traffic situation and, therefore, accident-free driving.
Punishment for speeding and saving rule "+20"
If we're talking about legal side question, it is impossible to get past the sanctions provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses for violation of the speed limit. And here, almost all drivers know about one rule. Let's call it "+20". What does it mean? And for this, we will consider the penalties for exceeding the speed of the vehicle, provided for in Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Paragraph 2 of this article states that a driver is punished in the form of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles for exceeding the speed limit by more than 20 km / h. In other words, if the speed limit in a built-up area is 60 km/h, the driver may not be afraid of penalties until he exceeds the speed to more than 80 km/h. This is the +20 rule. Such a handicap, amnesty!
A similar rule was introduced due to the measurement error of video recording cameras and traffic police radars, as well as the possible inconsistency of these measurements with the readings of the vehicle's speedometer.
Thus, moving with an excess of speed of no more than 20 km / h (compared to the maximum acceptable level), the driver violates the Rules, but cannot be subjected to an administrative penalty. The best way for the driver in such a situation - to allow speeding by 10 km / h (maximum!). In this case, there will be no need to be afraid of sending "letters of happiness" demanding payment administrative penalty for speeding.

|

a fine of 5000 rubles. or deprivation of rights for 6 months. |
deprivation of rights for 1 year or a fine of 5000 rubles. |
Minimum travel speed and braking
The rules limit not only the maximum, but also the minimum speed. We have already talked about the sign "Minimum speed limit" (4.6), which prohibits driving at a speed less than that indicated on the sign. However, the Rules also provide for cases in which the minimum allowable speed limit should be adhered to.
1. It is forbidden (sign 5.1) and on the road for cars (sign 5.3) with a speed of less than 40 km/h due to their technical condition or technical specification.
A driver who is not able to drive his vehicle at the prescribed speed is obliged to leave the specified sections of the road and use an alternative route.
2. It is forbidden to drive at an unreasonably low speed if this will interfere with other vehicles.
However, if the driver is alone on the road and does not interfere with anyone by his actions, then he can move even at the lowest speed.
Sudden (or emergency) braking very often leads to an accident, because few drivers move on safe distance to the vehicle in front. Under the current conditions, unreasonable hard braking became one of the elements of dangerous driving. And it is allowed to use it only in order to avoid an accident (collision, collision with a pedestrian, etc.). In the same conditions Russian realities Hard braking is mainly used in two cases:
- auto-substitution;
- desire to teach.
Sad practice!
Let's summarize
The choice of an adequate speed regime is a very important and responsible matter. It happens that a driver (especially an experienced one) is simply confused and in a particular situation cannot navigate the issue of choosing a speed.
Eat " Golden Rule» Traffic in built-up areas – 50 km/h. No more! This speed of movement will allow you to quickly navigate even in the most difficult traffic situation and will make it possible to avoid punishment for a possible speeding. Outside the settlement, it is enough to move 80-100 km / h. Naturally, if no speed limit is set.
The driver should remember that the perception of the situation, the effectiveness of his reaction, and traffic safety depend on the correct choice of speed.
Be careful. And remember: you are welcome at home! Alive!

Even those who are far from the first time driving a car do not always know how fast you can move in certain places. Of course, before you hit the road, it's best to find out what the speed limit is on the highway, in the cities, villages and courtyards that you plan to drive. As practice shows, experienced drivers it is enough to know the rules and understand what these or those road signs mean, and navigate by them. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to study the nuances of traffic in various settlements before entering each of them.
Track Rules
Traffic rules set limits on the speed of vehicles. At the same time, not only maximum, but also minimum values are determined for these indicators. For example, if paragraph 10 of the Rules states top speed for each situation, then in the 16th cases are defined when it cannot be less than the set value.
Thus, the legal acts indicate the permitted speed on the highway, it is 90 km / h for any roads and 110 for motorways. These restrictions apply cars and trucks whose weight does not exceed 3.5 tons. If at the entrance to the road you see a sign indicated in the traffic rules as 5.1, this means that you are on the highway. The speed limit there is 110 km/h.
Conditions for motorways
If about maximum limits almost everyone remembers, then for some reason they forget that you can’t drive too slowly on certain roads. But the 16th traffic rules motorway regulations. It says that on these roads there are pets, pedestrians, mopeds, bicycles and other vehicles whose speed is technical parameters cannot exceed 40 km/h.
It is also not allowed to stop vehicles outside specially designated areas, U-turns and entrances to lane breaks intended for technological purposes, training ride or reversing.
In addition, the rules of paragraph 16 apply to "Roads for cars", which are marked with sign 5.3. They are subject to the same restrictions on the minimum speed limit, the presence of pedestrians. They differ from motorways "roads for cars" only in that they do not have dividing lanes and multi-level transport interchanges. Moreover, the sign 5.3 does not mean that the indicated path is the main one in relation to the others.
Driving in built-up areas
It doesn't matter if you are driving along a highway that separates a small village, or moving around a city, your speed is limited. Even a minor violation of traffic rules can lead to the creation of emergency and dire consequences. Thus, the rules establish the permitted speed in the settlement, it is the same for everyone and does not depend on the intensity of traffic, the number of pedestrians or people living there. For all vehicles it cannot exceed 60 km/h. If you are moving along the highway and entering the city, then look at the signs - so you can understand when the settlement starts. Don't forget to slow down at this point.
When driving in residential areas marked with sign 5.21, or in courtyards, the speed cannot exceed 20 km/h. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the people living there, who have the right to safely walk near their homes, recreation areas and playgrounds. By the way, in such places, drivers are required to let pass absolutely all pedestrians, even if they walk along the roadway outside a specially equipped crossing.
Legislative reservations for localities
But the SDA has established the possibility at the regional level to establish higher speed readings for individual vehicles. This is done if road conditions allow for safe movement on certain sections of the road. If the local authority decides what should be the permitted speed on the highway passing through the settlement, then this is documented by the appropriate traffic signs. But at the same time, it cannot be more than the established values for motorways. If you leave a road where a different speed limit is allowed, then the rules for the settlement immediately begin to apply.
Riding along the Moscow Ring Road
Many residents of Russia are terribly afraid to get on the well-known. They don’t even know how much the speed limit is on the Moscow Ring Road. Despite the fact that this modern track without single-level intersections, with excellent pavement, fenced all over the way, it is considered very difficult. The reason for this is a huge number of connections in the form of races from gas stations, tire shops, shopping centers. In addition, the situation is complicated by the fact that there are usually a large number of trucks on this road.
Currently, the speed limit on the Moscow Ring Road is 100 km/h for all lanes. Taking into account the fact that this road is considered to be a main road, the established regime is quite adequate. Although in fact, in the extreme left side, the flow often moves at a speed of 120 or even 130 km / h.
Restrictions for buses, trucks with people and passenger vehicles with groups of children
If on the territory of settlements the rules regarding the speed limit apply to everyone, then with a trip outside them, the situation changes. For example, for small and intercity buses, the speed limit on the highway is 90 km/h. It does not matter if this passenger vehicle is driving on a highway, motorway, Moscow Ring Road or anywhere else where other maximum restrictions are set.
If we are talking about a truck with people in the back, then the maximum permitted speed for it is 60 km / h. Up to the same indicators can be accelerated by those drivers who are carrying groups of children in an organized manner.
Features of driving towing and cargo vehicles
It's no secret to anyone that heavy vehicles set their own limits. Thus, the permitted speed on the highway for trucks with a maximum mass exceeding 3.5 tons is 70 km / h for all roads that pass outside the territories of settlements. If such a car is driving on a motorway, then it has the right to accelerate to 90 km / h.
The same restrictions are set for buses that are not listed in the previous paragraph, and for all vehicles that travel with a trailer. If it is necessary to tow another vehicle, the speed cannot exceed 50 km/h.
Special conditions
Currently Russian legislation it is envisaged that in some cases it is possible to increase the maximum permitted speed. True, the decision on this must be made by the owner or owner of the road. For example, under certain conditions on highways, the speed can be increased to 130 km/h. For this, there should be no sharp narrowings, turns, exits, steep slopes and lifts and traffic lights. That is, there are quite a few places where the indicated speed can be allowed. At the same time, not a single route falls completely under the permitted traffic regime. Most often, these are certain sections of highways. But drivers cannot choose them at their discretion, they have special signs.
So, everyone knows that the speed limit on the highway is 90 km/h. At the same time, many already know that the driver will not be fined if the excess is not too large. So, an increase in speed from the maximum allowable by another 20 km / h does not threaten anything. That is, you can safely drive on the roads if the speedometer readings slightly exceed 100.
On sections of highways where movement at a speed of 130 km / h is allowed, the car can actually be accelerated to almost 150 without the risk of getting a fine. But it’s not worth it deliberately, because the speedometer, like the radar, can determine indicators with a small error. Therefore, in such a situation, the risk
afa increases.
Rules for overtaking
Many drivers mistakenly believe that while driving, the speed limit on the highway is not regulated by anything. However, it is not. Paragraph No. 10 of the Rules says that the vehicle must move in accordance with the traffic rules, taking into account the traffic intensity. It does not matter if one car overtakes another or not. Also, when making a maneuver, it is necessary to remember not only the observance of the speed limit, but also other rules, carefully monitor. Drivers who are overtaken should not interfere with this by increasing their speed.
Usually there are signs for 60 km, but many drivers do not follow the rules, hence problems arise, not everyone slows down in the villages in front of the zebra, although it is stipulated in the rules. They adhere to the same rules in the places of deployment of traffic police, but after driving 50 meters they accelerate again.
In Belarus, in a village, you need to drive at a speed of no more than 60 km per hour. Of course, there are signs that require you to slow down even less. This usually happens in places where the likelihood of an accident is increased.
In the village, everyone is required to drive at a speed of no more than 60 km / h, but if there is an appropriate sign, there must be Blue colour(well, or blue), then you can quickly, this usually concerns specific roads passing through cities or any settlements, they are of particular importance.
According to the rules, the speed of transport in the village should not exceed 60 kilometers per hour. You need to move at such a speed, regardless of whether there are pedestrians, other vehicles, a large or small settlement.
60 kilometers per hour - with such a maximum speed you can drive in settlements of Russia if there are no signs allowing a higher speed ( white circle, bordered in red, on a white field - a number indicating the maximum permissible speed).
However, the penalty is provided only when the permitted maximum is exceeded by the driver by more than 20 km/h.
Consequently, where only 60 is possible, all law-abiding citizens-drivers keep the speed no higher than 80 km / h. This is not correct, it is very Russian, but otherwise, most often it is impossible: the most safe driving is riding at the speed of the flow, you shouldn't be the most the right driver and interfere with the entire flow.
In front of any settlement, you can see a speed limit sign that is 60 km/h, in the settlement itself it can be even lower, up to 20 km/h, near pedestrian crossing, school, speed bump or some other object.
Usually now cameras are also installed in such places on the tracks.
In answering the question posed, the eighty-eighth paragraph of the eleventh head of traffic rules
Thus, the speed, depending on the vehicle and the place of movement, can vary from twenty to sixty kilometers per hour.
According to paragraph 88 of the rules of the road, the speed of vehicles in built-up areas is allowed at a speed of no more than 60 km / h, towing mechanical vehicles should not exceed 50 km/h, and in residential and pedestrian areas and in adjacent territories, the speed should not exceed 20 km/h.
Taking into account road conditions, as well as ensuring road safety, the speed of movement can be changed (lowered or increased) by applying road sign Maximum speed limit.
According to the rules of the road, the speed of exit vehicles in populated areas should not exceed sixty (60) kilometers per hour, regardless of the presence or absence of vehicles or pedestrians.
