Stop in front of a side road. T-shaped intersection - rules of passage with analysis of situations

14.04.2019

To indicate places where parking and stopping cars are allowed or, conversely, they are tabooed, the Rules provide for special corresponding signs that can be installed separately or together with explanatory signs and inscriptions indicating the zone and time of validity of these signs. For the same purpose, road markings are also intended. yellow color in the form of continuous and interrupted strips applied from the right edge of the roadway or curbs. In addition, it is important to remember that the Rules establish a certain list of such zones where stopping and parking is prohibited, regardless of the presence or absence of appropriate markings or signs (see clause 12.4 of the Rules).

Stopping and parking are prohibited

Tram lines, railway crossings and places immediately adjacent to them.
One or two lane flyovers and bridges. On wider bridges with more than two passing lanes, stopping is allowed, as it does not interfere with traffic.
Tunnels and places located under bridges and overpasses. What is connected with minimizing the consequences of accidents associated with the fall of cars from bridges and flyovers. If there is a specially equipped area under the overpass with a parking sign installed, then parking in this place is allowed.
Narrow roads where the gap between the parked car and the edge of the road or its solid line remains less than 3 meters. In this case, it is difficult to bypass a standing vehicle or this will require crossing the dividing line, which is prohibited by the Rules.
Distances closer than 5 m to the edge of the pedestrian crossing and the marked area of the pedestrian crossing. The pedestrian crossing area is marked with wide longitudinal stripes or narrow transverse intermittent stripes crossing the road perpendicularly or at a slight angle.
Intersections and road intersection area, as well as the adjacent territory at a distance of up to 5 m in all directions from the intersection boundaries.

Stopping and parking are allowed after 15 meters from the marking or sign

Stops public transport and the territory of the entrance and exit within 15 m from the beginning and end of the stop. Shuttle public transport stops are indicated by special information signs or yellow broken road markings. If there is markup, it starts and ends at its borders. Taxi stands marked with the corresponding sign (see sign 5.18) also belong to those areas where it is forbidden to park another type of transport.

A lane reserved for or a cycle lane. Such lanes are indicated by appropriate information signs (see signs 4.4; 5.14) or markings in the form of the letter A.
Any section of the carriageway from which the visibility of the road in one direction is less than 100 m. Limited visibility of the road may be due to its turns or slopes.
Any section of the roadway where parked vehicles block the visibility of signs or traffic lights to other participants traffic.
Any section of the carriageway where a parked car creates an insurmountable obstacle to pedestrians and vehicles, prevents the entry and exit of other cars.
The expressway has special parking areas for stopping, located outside the carriageway and marked with a parking sign. You can't stop on the motorway itself. In case of forced stops due to a malfunction or lack of fuel, it is recommended to move the car to the side of the road and install emergency sign(switch on the alarm).

According to the Rules (clause 12.5), only parking is prohibited in the following two additional cases, but stopping is allowed:

on the carriageway of intercity highways with a heavy flow of cars, designated as the main road and not having shoulders. Such a route can be considered as a motorway, only with a reduced speed;
at a distance of less than 50 m from the railway crossing. This requirement is due to the need to ensure good visibility of the approaching train at the crossing. Thus, near the railway crossing (50 meters), only parking is prohibited, and in the zone of action of the crossing (5 meters), both stopping and parking are prohibited.

How to correctly interpret the rules of stopping and parking

memorizing established by the Rules provisions and areas where stopping and parking are prohibited, it is important to be able to correctly interpret these provisions and understand the reasons for these restrictions. So, let's look at what the accepted rules for stopping and parking are dictated by:
1. You can not stop at a pedestrian crossing and closer than 5 m before a pedestrian crossing, but you can stand right behind it. This distance limitation is due to the fact that nearby vehicles close the view for other drivers, who will find it difficult to notice people in the pedestrian crossing zone in time. Pedestrians will also not be able to see vehicles approaching in the next lane in a timely manner. You can’t stand at the pedestrian crossing itself, because. the car will obstruct the movement of pedestrians.

2. stop at the intersections of streets and roads and in the areas adjacent to them (within 5 m). The requirement is understandable, because the intersection is one of the most dangerous and stressful sections of the road in terms of traffic intensity and safety, and a car standing in this place will certainly interfere with the moving traffic.
3. At a one-way intersection (T-shaped), it is allowed to stop vehicles opposite the adjoining road in such situations when:

In this case, stopping at a one-way intersection (T-shaped) is allowed

separates the traffic lane of the through street on which the car is parked. It prevents vehicles moving along this lane from turning onto the adjacent road. In this case, they will go around a standing car, as in all other sections of the street;
the distance from a parked car to a solid dividing line is more than 3 m, which allows bypassing cars, without crossing the dividing line, to go around it without compromising traffic safety.

In this case, parking at the T-junction will be prohibited.

When there is no solid dividing marking at such an intersection or it turns into a broken line, the Rules prohibit cars from stopping in the intersection area, as they will create an obstacle to cars leaving the adjacent road and making a U-turn or turning left. If, moreover, the intersecting roads are narrow, standing transport can completely close through traffic and lead to congestion.

4. According to the Rules, all cars are allowed to make a short stop at taxi stands and bus stops in order to drop off or pick up a passenger in situations where this does not interfere with taxi drivers and public transport. For example, when a bus or trolleybus does not stop and does not drive up at the bus stop.

5. special attention a moving tram requires a driver. The tram line can be closely adjacent to highway and parking on the side of the tram line may interfere with the movement of the tram. When the tram stops, the cars following to the right of it should also stop in order to let passengers leaving and entering the tram pass.

6. Rules for stopping and parking where insufficient visibility roads, suggest their prohibition only within the carriageway, tk. detour of transport in such cases due to limited visibility oncoming lane has an increased risk of collision with a car that suddenly jumped out of the corner. In the case when the car is parked in such a section completely on the side of the road and in no way affects the trajectory of traffic on its carriageway, this is not a violation of the Rules.

A fairly common violation is the parking of a car on an island formed between the guide lines of two merging roads. This is prohibited by the Rules, because standing cars limit the view of the main road to drivers of cars leaving from secondary road. At the same time, where there are no such conditions that threaten traffic safety, the resulting islands can be used for car parking. In such areas, a parking sign is placed or appropriate road markings are applied.

Residents of metropolitan areas are already familiar with the concept of a paid parking zone. At the entrance to this zone, an appropriate warning sign is installed with a picture of a parking sign and coins indicating paid parking. Frequent parking meters also warn you that you are in a paid zone. Parking spaces are marked with markings and a corresponding sign with the parking number. In such a zone, parking is paid if the duration of parking exceeds 15 minutes.

Paid parking lots, as a rule, are equipped with video and photo fixators to obtain objective information and identify non-payers. Some drivers practice various ways to hide numbers or make them illegible to cameras. Thus, they try to avoid penalty receipts. However, the law (Article 12.2.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses) provides for such violators with more severe punishment in the form of deprivation of rights and large fines. The SDA requires drivers to always keep their license plates clean and in such condition that they can be clearly distinguished from a distance and have good lighting.

Ways to park cars

In order not to receive penalty receipts from the traffic police, you need to know not only the permitted parking spaces, but also be able to properly park. There are various ways to park cars, the basic requirements for which are described in the SDA. However, the Rules do not describe in detail how to park a car in various cases and on various types parking lots. So in paragraphs 12.1; 12.2 specified General requirements for drivers of all categories of vehicles on the rules for parking them.

Car parking is allowed only in one row and on right side on the sidelines. In case of violation, the included emergency gang will not save you from a fine

According to these requirements, transport is allowed to be parked on the side of the road on the right along it in one consecutive row. In parallel, only two-wheeled vehicles (bikes, scooters, scooters and motorcycles) are allowed to be placed in two rows. The same arrangement of vehicles is allowed if the road has special widenings on the sides of the road, intended for parking. Such "pockets" are widely used near theaters, shopping centers and other public institutions. Previously, cars in "pockets" had to be placed perpendicular to the edge of the roadway. But from April 15, 2015, changes were made to the rules according to which it is necessary to put the vehicle even in “pockets” parallel to the edge of the carriageway, unless another way of setting is provided by markings or a sign (tablet).

Parking "pocket"

Parking areas are usually marked with markings that determine the position and number of parking spaces. In this case, you need to park in accordance with the marked markings. If there is a parking sign on the site with signs explaining how to park cars (see tables 8.6.2 - 8.6.9), then when parking cars, you should be guided by established signs. Moreover, it must be borne in mind that these parking methods using part of the sidewalk are only allowed to be carried out by cars and motorcycles.

Parking in the "pocket" in the absence of markings and signs is allowed in any way, but at the same time it should not interfere with the movement of cars

The absence of explanatory tables under the parking sign implies the classic version of installing vehicles without driving onto the sidewalk. If there are no prohibitory and prescriptive signs on the site, and there is also no marking, then the transport should be located on it in such a way as to ensure the maximum capacity of the site. At the same time, the car should not interfere with the entry and exit of other cars. The location of cars here can be either along the curb, across the curb, or at a certain angle to the curb.

The rules allow the use of the left edge of the road for parking cars under the following conditions:

the road has one-way traffic;
there is no solid line on the street and no tram tracks.

These requirements stem from the following security considerations:

To park the car on the left side of the street, you need to drive through the oncoming lane, which increases the risk of a collision. If the road has more than one oncoming lane, then parking on the left is prohibited. crossing two or more oncoming lanes is much more dangerous. One-way traffic eliminates the risk of collision with oncoming vehicles.
The presence of tram lines also complicates the possibility of making the transition to left side roads, since the tram has the advantage of passing over other vehicles, respectively, parking on the left is prohibited on such streets.

Thus, if the right side of the street is occupied by parked cars, then you can park the car on the left side when the street is one-way traffic or it is a narrow street with one-lane oncoming traffic and without continuous dividing markings. However, on a two-way street, there is a risk of violating the no-parking sign posted at the beginning of an intersection that you don't know about because we entered the street on the other side.

conclusions

When driving a motorcycle, you can park on the right or left in one or two rows (without a sidecar), including on the sidewalk if there are appropriate signs.
If you travel by car, you can also park, but only in one row.
When driving a truck (over 3.5 tons), you can not stand on the sidewalk and on the left side of the street. You can only stop there to load and unload goods.
Before stopping the car, make sure that there are no prohibition signs and lines road markings.
When stopping near the tram line or under the trolleybus line, make sure that the car does not interfere with the passage of the tram and the detour by the trolleybus.
When leaving your vehicle stopped on a carriageway, make sure that it does not block traffic signs, there is enough space (more than 3 m) to the left edge of the road or a solid line, and that it does not stand in the restricted visibility zone.
When leaving your car in the parking area, make sure that your car does not interfere with the exit of other cars and does not block them in the parking lot.
When entering the parking area, look for signs indicating the correct location of the car and road markings, and if there are none, look at the location parked cars. Install the vehicle in such a way that it does not take up extra space and does not interfere with others.

In hopeless situations and there are no other options, leave it on front glass your phone number for an emergency call.

Constant, uninterrupted movement of the vehicle is impossible: both the driver and the equipment must rest. Or, in other words, go into stop or parking mode.

We note only one important circumstance: the presence of both signs and markings is an incomparable benefit for the driver. And all because they are a very clear way to regulate stopping and parking, and the car owner can personally verify the correctness (or, unfortunately, incorrectness) of their actions.

However, the presence or absence of the previously mentioned signs and markings does not yet exhaust the principles of stopping and parking, for which a special section has been allocated in the SDA.

SDA section 12: general principles of stopping and parking

The 12th section of the SDA is specifically devoted to the rules for stopping and parking (in the event that they are not prohibited by the signs and markings already considered).

So, the driver needs to sacredly remember " Golden Rule »: both stopping and parking are allowed on the right side of the road - on the side of the road.

Under any circumstances, the car owner, when planning parking, can make it here (unless, of course, this is prohibited by other traffic rules).

However, in large and medium-sized settlements, as a rule, there is no roadside. In such cases, the Rules allow stopping and parking on the right side of the road - on the edge of the carriageway.

The driver must clearly understand that if there is a shoulder and it is possible to stop and park on it, he is forbidden to use for these purposes carriageway.

Such tactics will be a gross violation of traffic rules, and most often drivers commit it when driving outside locality. Thus, they not only create obstacles for the movement of other vehicles, but also contribute to the creation emergency under high speed conditions.

The rules provide for stopping and parking not only on the right side of the road. In two cases, it is allowed to park on its left side. But both of these options are directly related to the road sections of the settlement.

1. A two-lane road (one lane for each direction) with no tram tracks in the middle.

Stopping and parking on the left side of such roads, at first glance, looks unsafe. After all, the exit from such a parking lot will be carried out from the lane of oncoming traffic. However, in the settlement - in the conditions current restriction speed limit- this danger does not seem so serious. But the need to find a parking space - on the contrary - looks like a rather urgent problem.

It becomes quite clear the requirement that there are no tram tracks in the middle of the road.

Just in this case, the exit of the vehicle from the parking lot on the left side of a very wide road will no longer be safe.

2. One-way road.

The right to stop on the left side of a one-way road should not cause skepticism or rejection, because traffic across the entire width of the carriageway is carried out in one direction.

True, drivers of trucks, whose permitted maximum weight exceeds 3.5 tons, must remember that under these conditions they are only allowed to stop and only for loading and unloading the vehicle.

As for the situation outside the settlement, here any driver should refrain from stopping on the left side of the road, as well as from long-term parking (for a long rest, overnight stay, etc.) within the road. He should find a special area provided for parking or go off the road.

This requirement is intended to ensure maximum safety for both stationary vehicles and those moving on the road. In unforeseen cases, the shoulder can become a site, thanks to which you can avoid a collision by changing lanes to it. Therefore, it is desirable for the roadside outside the settlement to be free.

But on the "Motorway" (5.1), for example, as on or M4, and "Road for cars" (5.3), stopping and parking, in general, are allowed only on special sites, which, in addition, must be marked with appropriate signs indicating the possibility parking.

Within such a road - both on the carriageway and on the side of the road - stopping and parking are strictly prohibited. This restriction is connected both with the intensity of traffic on such sections of the road, and with them.

Location of the vehicle when parking

When positioning the vehicle in stop and park conditions, one more “golden rule” must be remembered: the vehicle can only be parked in one row and only parallel to the roadway. The only exception to this rule are two-wheeled vehicles that can be placed in two rows.

Another way of parking is allowed only if it is indicated accordingly by the signs “Parking method”, as well as horizontal road marking lines indicating parking “boxes”.

In this case, it is allowed to make stops and parking at an angle to the carriageway and even using the sidewalk space. But in this case, there should be a corresponding indication of the plate for this method of setting.

In these conditions, the driver must remember one more requirement: to put at an angle to the roadway or on the sidewalk. The rules allow only cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. It is prohibited to park other vehicles at an angle to the carriageway or use the sidewalk space.

For all other vehicles, such parking methods are not available. They may stop and park only parallel to the carriageway and only when such a method is permitted.

Thus, the location of the vehicle when parking relative to the roadway must be parallel, unless signs and / or markings indicate a different way of parking the vehicle.

Where it is prohibited to stop and park vehicles

Special cases of prohibition of stopping

Paragraph 12.4 of the SDA is devoted to cases when drivers are strictly prohibited from stopping (and, consequently, parking). All these cases provided for by the Rules are united by one common property: it is not safe to stop and park in such areas.

1. Stopping is prohibited on tram tracks and in the immediate vicinity of the tram tracks, if at the same time the stopped vehicle creates some kind of interference with the movement of the tram.

The ban on stopping in such places is connected with the impossibility of continuing the movement of rail vehicles, because the tram will not be able to bypass the obstacle that has arisen on its rails.

2. Stopping is prohibited on railway crossings.

It is unlikely that a sane person would object to a ban on stopping on railway tracks, which are especially dangerous area roads. The driver must remember that the boundaries of the railway crossing are limited to barriers or signs "Single-track Railway” (1.3.1) or “Multi-track railway” (1.3.2) installed at the entrance to the crossing and the exit from it. This is where stopping is prohibited.

3. Stopping is prohibited in the tunnels.

As a rule, tunnel portals are not so wide, and stopping here will interfere with the unhindered and safe movement of other vehicles. And the drivers themselves tend to drive through the limited spaces of the tunnels as quickly as possible.

4. Stopping is prohibited on bridges, flyovers, overpasses and under them (there is an exception).

The prohibition of stopping on artificial span structures is determined by a number of circumstances:

limited space;
danger of being placed here a large number vehicles that create pressure on the supporting structures of the structure, etc.

The ban on stopping under such artificially created objects is due to the same limited space.

However, the driver must remember an important exception to this rule.

If ON the bridge, ON the flyover, ON the overpass (but not under them) in this direction there are at least three traffic lanes, then stopping and parking ON such structures are allowed.

5. Stopping is prohibited in sections where the distance between the stopped vehicle and the solid marking line (except for 1.2.1), the opposite edge of the carriageway or the dividing strip is less than 3 meters.

Let's take a look at the intricacies of this situation.

The lack of a 3-meter interval between stopped vehicles and a solid marking line makes it very difficult for others to bypass them without violating traffic rules. They will be forced to break the Rules.

The same circumstance also applies in the case of a dividing strip and the opposite edge of the carriageway, when drivers of other vehicles both physically (because of the curb) and legally will not be able to bypass the stopped transport.

6. Stopping is prohibited at pedestrian crossings, as well as closer than 5 meters in front of them.

The prohibition of stopping and parking at a pedestrian crossing is understandable: otherwise, the movement of pedestrians, who have an advantage in this area, will be interfered with.

The necessary distance of 5 meters before the pedestrian crossing should provide the driver with visibility of the approaching vehicle. In this case, the pedestrian entering the pedestrian crossing will not be an unpleasant surprise for drivers.

7. Stopping is prohibited on the roadway in conditions of limited visibility (less than 100 meters in any direction).

This stopping and parking restriction is introduced in order to road conditions there were no obstacles in the face of stopped vehicles on the roadway. This circumstance significantly complicates the oncoming traffic. But this rule only applies to .

Stopping and parking on the roadside are not prohibited.

8. Stopping is prohibited at the intersections of carriageways and 5 meters before and after them (there is an exception).

The prohibition of stopping and parking at the intersections of carriageways is quite natural. After all, how will other road users move in this case?

A very important circumstance. Some drivers say that stopping and parking are prohibited. This is wrong: it is at the intersections of carriageways and 5 meters before and after them. And this is fundamental!

Let's look at the next example.

In front of us is an intersection with roundabout. It is formed by three intersections of carriageways. And stopping (with parking) at such an intersection is allowed, but subject to a 5-meter distance to each intersection.

It is important to note that there is one exception to this rule: at a T-junction with a solid marking line (or dividing strip) opposite the side lane, stopping and parking are allowed. Naturally, subject to a 3-meter interval to a solid line (or dividing line).

This exception is understandable. With a solid line (or dividing strip) at such an intersection, left turns and U-turns are prohibited. Therefore, a vehicle standing in front of a side passage will not interfere with the rectilinear movement of other vehicles.

And, conversely, a broken line marking at the intersection will create a crowd and lead to congestion.

9. Stopping is prohibited at public transport stops (route vehicles) and taxi ranks, as well as 15 meters before and after them (there is an exception).

Such restriction of stopping and parking is explained by the need for unhindered movement of route vehicles and passenger taxis.

As for the 15-meter distance before and after such places, this requirement is connected with the prospect of unimpeded exit of such vehicles from the indicated sections of the road.

If there is a “yellow broken line” marking (1.18), the driver must measure the prescribed 15 meters on each side from the marking line. And in the absence of markings - from signs 5.16 - 5.18.

An exception to the rule under consideration is as follows: drivers are allowed to stop at public transport stops and taxi ranks only if two conditions are met (simultaneously):

for embarkation and disembarkation of a passenger;
provided that there is no interference with route vehicles and passenger taxis.

Therefore, it is not at all necessary when boarding and disembarking passengers on bus stop. The main thing is not to interfere with the "minibuses" by disembarking or seating passengers.

10. Stopping is prohibited in those places where the stopped vehicle makes it impossible for another vehicle to enter or exit, interferes with pedestrians, and also closes the means of traffic control (signs or traffic lights).

Such a ban is obvious.

For example, a truck driver blocked the visibility of a No Stopping sign for other drivers.

And it takes a very long time to deal with this situation. There are many offenders here. Here's how they can get away.

11. Stopping is prohibited in the cyclist lane.

Here everything is clear and without comments. This is a lane for cyclists only, and drivers of motor vehicles have nothing to do on it: neither for movement, nor for stopping or parking.

Special cases of prohibition of parking

According to the traffic rules, parking is prohibited in those places where stopping is prohibited. This circumstance is quite logical, because, as noted earlier, it is impossible to park without first stopping (at least for 5 minutes).

So, parking (as well as stopping) is prohibited:

1) on the tram tracks and in the immediate vicinity of the tram tracks, if at the same time the stopped vehicle will interfere with the movement of the tram;

2) at railway crossings;

3) in tunnels;

4) on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them (except for cases when ON the bridge, ON the overpass, ON the overpass (but not under them) in this direction there are at least three traffic lanes);

5) in sections where the distance between the stopped vehicle and the solid marking line (except for 1.2.1), the opposite edge of the carriageway or the dividing strip is less than 3 meters;

6) at pedestrian crossings, as well as closer than 5 meters in front of them;

7) on the roadway in conditions of limited visibility (less than 100 meters in any direction);

8) at the intersections of carriageways and 5 meters before and after them (except for the case of parking at a T-shaped intersection with a solid marking line (or a dividing strip) opposite a side passage);

9) in places of stops of public transport (route vehicles) and parking lots of passenger taxis, as well as 15 meters before and after them;

10) in those places where the stopped vehicle makes it impossible for other vehicles to enter or exit, interferes with pedestrians, and also closes the means of traffic control (signs or traffic lights);

11) on the lane for cyclists.

In addition to these cases, parking is prohibited in two more areas.

1. Parking is prohibited outside the settlement on the carriageway of roads marked with the sign " the main road» (2.1).

The ban on parking on this section of the road is due to high speed movement outside the city. Especially if the traffic is on the main road. IN similar conditions a vehicle standing on the roadway will be a clear hindrance. And if a short stop here is allowed, then parking using the roadway is excluded by the Rules for reasons of elementary safety.

Consequently, outside the settlement on the carriageway of the road marked with the sign "Main Road", parking is allowed only on the side of the road or outside the road.

2. Parking is prohibited within the 50m zone before and after railroad crossings.

Parking, like stopping, is prohibited at a railway crossing. This is not discussed. But parking cannot be carried out also at a distance of 50 meters before and after the move.

Such a ban is explained by the danger of this section of the road, located in close proximity to the railway tracks.

Actions of the driver and passengers when stopping and parking

When stopping or parking, the driver and passengers are prohibited from opening the doors of the vehicle if these actions interfere with other road users.

Agree, a textbook example and a very common mistake of both drivers and passengers.

In the event that the driver is going to leave the vehicle and leave it unattended, he is obliged to do everything possible to exclude the possibility of involuntary movement of the vehicle, as well as its unauthorized use.

This means that it is necessary to restrict the access of unauthorized persons to the vehicle (close the locks of the doors and trunk, use the anti-theft system put the car on the alarm, etc.).

Thus, the knowledge by the driver of the rules for stopping and parking vehicles will allow, on the one hand, to avoid punishment in accordance with applicable law (in the form of an administrative fine and), and on the other hand, to keep his vehicle intact (or at least hinder unauthorized penetration into it and illegal possession of it).

In general, parking issues are very popular in Russia, because sometimes driving a car is not much cheaper than parking it. But seriously, parking a car at first glance seems like a trifling matter, but things are a little more complicated. Firstly, the parking of the vehicle is clearly regulated by the Rules of the Road. Secondly, different cities and regions may have their own parking nuances. And thirdly, there are unspoken rules, not to comply with which means not to respect yourself, nor fellow motorists, nor pedestrians, nor law enforcement officers, nor even that cat who is used to basking in the place under which the heating main is laid.

Remember a simple axiom - only a tank driver is not required to be able to park his vehicle. For everyone else, parking rules are prescribed in the traffic rules.

Stop or stop?

Obeying the fashion for Western terminology and the ubiquitous Anglicisms, we will not abandon such a thing as "parking". But in our legislative framework another term appears - "parking". And if drivers have long figured out the difference between “inspection” and “inspection” of a vehicle, then they often have difficulties with the definition of “parking” and “stop”.

A stop is a pause in the course, a parking is a stop for 5 or more minutes.

Photo mashinapro.ru

So, a stop is, in simple terms, a cessation of movement lasting no more than 5 minutes.
However, the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes if this time is not enough for them to drop off / pick up passengers or load / unload. But if the vehicle is standing for more than 5 minutes, and this has nothing to do with either passengers or cargo, then this is already a parking lot.

Parking rules for everyone

First, let's figure out why you still need to park correctly. Quite often, novice drivers and experienced “turn the steering wheel” believe that it doesn’t really matter where the car is parked. But, having correctly parked your vehicle, you, firstly, will reduce your chances of meeting and communicating with all of us beloved traffic police inspectors and such trouble as a fine.

Someone parks however they want...

Secondly, competent parking will protect your car from troubles, such as traffic accidents without traffic or mechanical damage caused by particularly disgruntled pedestrians who defend their rights using radical methods.

And someone - how can.

By the way, about the accident.

If your car was not parked according to the rules and became a participant in a traffic accident, then all the blame and administrative responsibility will inevitably and automatically fall on you.

Where can you park?

IN current Rules traffic rules tell you where you can park and where you can't. From paragraph 12.1 you can find out that parking can be organized on the side of the road to the right of the road or at the edge of the carriageway. If you still want to park on the left, then this can only be done on roads with one lane in each direction and without tram tracks.

It is the violation of parking rules that is the cause of difficulties with parking in Moscow

But the union of a parked car and a sidewalk is discussed in section 12.2. If you travel by bicycle, moped, motorcycle and passenger car, then you have every right to park your vehicle in the places that are marked with a parking sign…

... and one of the signs below (here is the answer to the frequently asked question - is it possible to park on the sidewalk).

In all other cases, you will have to park at your own peril and risk. And, of course, conscience.

Where not to park

No matter how we feel about prohibition signs, it is often more expensive to ignore them.
Parking is prohibited if the next sign is on the horizon.

The action of the sign "Parking is prohibited" extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in settlements in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement.

At the same time, variations of this sign can be observed on the streets of Russian cities.

Parking prohibited on odd days of the month

Parking prohibited on even days of the month

But there are also more general rules.
For example, under no circumstances can you legally park your car on the sidewalk if it is a truck. In addition, parking is prohibited in those places where stopping is not allowed, which is quite logical.

Also, you cannot park a vehicle on that carriageway outside the settlement, which is marked with the sign "Main Road".

Do not forget that it is strictly forbidden to organize parking closer than 50 meters from railway crossings.

Interesting

The sign "Pedestrian path" prohibits the movement of cars, but nothing is said about parking on the path for pedestrians and cyclists. Yes, a fine of 2 thousand rubles. you will have to pay, because it is impossible to get into the forbidden territory without movement. However, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the traffic police have no right to evacuate your car to the impound lot from the footpath. Many Muscovites, those who have more money, take advantage of this flaw in the Code, and habitually park their four-wheeled "horses" on the tracks intended for "two-legged".

How much does illegal parking cost?

Municipal authorities are constantly increasing parking penalties where parking is prohibited. At the same time, there is a certain gradation of fines depending on the region or city. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, fines are higher than in other Russian cities.

Yard parking rules: it's good where we are not

It should be recognized that the rules for parking in yards and in adjacent territories have not yet been unambiguously defined at the legislative level. But it would be worth it, because, for example, Moscow courtyards are more and more reminiscent of a zone high voltage that occurs between residents. However, there is a code general rules which every driver must comply with.

It is strictly forbidden to park the car on lawns. The provision on "green zones" is not spelled out in the traffic rules, but such parking violates another set of rules - the rules for the improvement of the city. In addition, it is impossible to block the passage that impedes the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians. Sidewalks in yards are also a taboo zone for car owners.

Sometimes in the yards there is a "parking nonsense"

If we talk about some clear instructions, then parking a car is prohibited closer than 10 meters from the doors, whether it be the doors of a store or an entrance, and also no closer than 5 meters from garbage containers.

In London, a car owner can buy the right to park next to the house or in the yard for 100 pounds per year. For all other parking spaces, Londoners pay an hourly fee of £4 and may stay in this space for a maximum of four hours.

Regarding other prohibitions, it is forbidden to park a car with a running engine in the yards. Remember - no more than 4 minutes 59 seconds. This rule is worth considering for motorists who warm up the engine before leaving in the winter months.

And, of course, completely discriminated against for yard parking trucks with permission maximum weight more than 3.5 tons.

Parking rules in Moscow

The city can be considered the one that has reached the highest level of motorization, if there are from 300 to 400 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants. In 2013 Moscow is in the list of the most motorized cities took second place- 380 cars per "kilo-capita" of the population. Hence the 127 hours a year that a Moscow driver spends fighting traffic jams.

Free parking is a luxury for Moscow

So. Once the city reaches high level motorization, it automatically waives the “free parking” regulation. This is the answer to the question why parking in Moscow has become paid. We must not forget about the convenience of pedestrians, the priority of public transport and moving cars. Parked cars that simply occupy public space are at the very bottom of the priority table. In other words, if you want to stand, pay. This is exactly what is said on the pages of the project, which is designed to cope with the problem of "chaotic parking" on the streets of the capital.

The rules for parking in the center of Moscow are simple to the point of banality - you can leave your car anywhere where it is not prohibited by the rules or relevant road signs. If you do not follow this norm, then be sure to replenish the statistics of those evacuated for improper parking of cars - about 1,300 rubles per day.

You can pay for parking at the parking meter

Most shopping centers in Moscow provide free parking spaces, but there are some (they are located inside the Trety transport ring), where only the first hours of parking are free. There are also little parking tricks: you can leave your car in the parking lot of the Moskva Hotel if you buy at least something in one of the many local boutiques.

Subtleties of the question

Under no circumstances may you trample the grass on the lawn with the tires of your car. Here, however, the amount of the administrative fine for this is different everywhere, because these fines are established by local governments.

If you put your car in the parking lot, but at the same time only drove a little on the curb, then law enforcement officers will definitely regard this as a full-fledged parking on the sidewalk. For the convenience of one wheel - a fine and the evacuation of the "steel horse" to the "penal stable".

Imagine that you left your car on the sidewalk. Under current law, if you violate the rules of parking or stopping on the sidewalk, which led to the obstruction of pedestrian traffic, you can be fined two times the minimum wage. But the fact of creating obstacles still needs to be proven. And there is no fact, there is no corpus delicti. However, at the forefront of all similar situations there should be law enforcement.

Today, traffic cops use devices called "Parkon", which independently identify and record parking violations. After that, drivers receive "letters of happiness". So do not rely on chance and beware of newfangled gadgets that law enforcement officers are armed with.

If you want to know what kind of person - look how he parks the car!

In order not to lose money (fines, payment for evacuation and storage in a parking lot), time and nerve cells, try to get along with this capricious lady, whose name is "Parking". Remember the patience of the legendary Noah, who, on his ark, packed with passengers, searched for parking until he found it near the majestic Ararat. Respect the law, pedestrians and your fellow drivers and you will always find a parking space under the sun.

Successful passage of difficult sections of the road requires the use of the Rules of the Road.

If the driver does not know how to interpret road signs or markings, he may have problems, especially in those situations that do not often arise for him.

Passing through a T-junction can be exactly the case that will introduce an inexperienced driver into confusion.

To prevent this from happening, you should first consider possible options actions when driving on such a section of the road.

For a correct understanding of the issue, it is necessary to define the concept of a crossroads.

It means the intersection of several roads, both equivalent, and priority and secondary.

Crossroads happen different types depending on the specifics of the intersection:

T-shaped;
Y-shaped, etc.

When driving through each of them, it is important to follow the rules of the road and follow the instructions of signs, markings, traffic controllers and traffic lights.

Depending on the presence of the latter two, the crossing can be considered regulated, and following it must comply with the given signals.

Within the intersection, the driver must correctly signal the intention to make a turn, U-turn or other action. This will help all participants in the movement to correctly evaluate the actions of each other.

When approaching the intersection, you need to take correct position. If there are several lanes, then the car must be located on the lane from which, according to the rules, the corresponding maneuver is performed.

Rules for driving a T-shaped intersection according to traffic rules

The rules of the road clearly regulate the behavior of drivers when passing through a T-junction. In many ways, the scenario of actions depends on the type of road crossing. Crossings are:

adjustable;
unregulated.

Example of a T-junction

The first are characterized by the presence of a working traffic light or a traffic controller. In the second case, there is no traffic light at the intersection, it is out of order and the traffic controller does not work.

Traditionally, it is the second type that causes certain difficulties for inexperienced drivers.

Adjustable (with traffic light)

When driving through this type of road intersection, it is necessary to pay attention not only to signs and markings, but also to traffic signals.

It is he who usually shows what the driver needs to do at a particular point in time.

Traffic lights have the following meaning:

red - movement is prohibited;
yellow - a transitional signal, meaning the need to prepare for the start of the journey or complete the initiated maneuver;
green permits movement.

When following an adjustable T-junction, there are no particular difficulties. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the presence of an additional traffic light arrow. It is installed in order to speed up and simplify the procedure for moving along one of the lanes.

It is important to understand that when moving additional arrow the color of the second indicator matters. If it is red, then the driver needs to be careful and give way to other vehicles.

Passage of T-shaped unregulated intersections

Difficulties may arise when driving at a T-shaped unregulated intersection.

In this case, traffic lights will not help the driver to orientate.

That is why it is necessary to rely on the indications of signs and markings.

Priority signs will tell drivers to let other vehicles pass or move first. If unequal roads meet at a T-junction, it is important to determine in a timely manner who has the main one.

The priority road can be designated:

sign "Main road";
the nature of the roadway.

In the second case, when crossing an asphalt road with a gravel road, the first one is considered a priority.

When crossing equivalent roads, there is a hindrance on the right

Consider how to correctly travel through m-shaped intersections of equivalent roads. If equivalent roads are encountered, then drivers should use the right-hand obstruction rule. According to him, the driver is obliged to give way to those vehicles that are on his right.

In addition, when making a maneuver, one should pay attention to the presence of one-way traffic within the intersection. When the car is moving towards such an intersection where the perpendicular road is one-way, the driver should advance to the required lane.

Rules for driving on a two-way road

A separate case is traffic at a T-shaped intersection with two-way traffic.

Here the sequence of actions of the driver depends on which direction he continues to follow.

If you need to turn right at the T-junction, follow the instructions:

When approaching an intersection, move to the right lane in advance.
Look to the left, as this is where the cars heading towards the intersection will be.
Look right.
In the absence of approaching vehicles and cars preventing the exit, make a maneuver.

If you need to turn left, proceed as follows:

Borrow in advance left lane when approaching an intersection.
Turn on the appropriate turn signal.
Look left, then right. The situation should be analyzed comprehensively, since when committing this maneuver Movement is important on both sides.
At the appearance of a favorable moment, make a maneuver.

In this case, you should not fuss or panic. The main thing is to confidently and quickly do what you have planned, so as not to create an ambiguous situation on the road.

In general, there is nothing difficult when entering a two-way T-junction. The driver should follow the traffic rules and be extremely careful.

T-junction markings

Of great importance is the marking both when following the straight part of the path, and at the intersection. Often they pay attention to it if it is necessary to perform a U-turn.

This maneuver is implemented at T-shaped road intersections under certain conditions:

absence of vehicles approaching and obstructing the maneuver;
Availability technical feasibility perform a turn. If the vehicle is large or with a trailer, in some situations it will not be possible to perform a safe turn.

By properly parking your car, you will not only save yourself from the material costs associated with fines and evacuation to a car impound, but also from mechanical damage, inflicted by angry pedestrians and other vehicles that you have blocked from moving. Where is it forbidden to stop, park and park, and what are the rules for parking on even and odd days? These questions will be answered by Oleg Viktorovich Shitikov, the lawyer of YustitsGarant LLC.

What is a stop and stop?

Very often, drivers confuse the concepts of "stop" and "parking", but the difference between them is huge. In accordance with the legislation of our country, a stop is a pause in the movement of a vehicle that does not exceed five minutes. This time is usually enough to drop off or pick up a passenger, load or unload cargo. Of course, no one will stand next to you with a watch, and the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes, but if the stop lasts more than 5 minutes, and it has nothing to do with passengers and cargo, then this is already a car parking lot.

Where is it forbidden to stop and park a car?

On tram lines, railway crossings and places adjacent to them.
On one and two-lane overpasses and bridges. However, if the bridge is wide and has more than two passing lanes, stopping is allowed, since you will not interfere with the movement of other vehicles.
In tunnels and places under flyovers and bridges. However, if there is an equipped area and a parking sign, then parking is allowed there.
On narrow roads, where the distance between a solid marking line (other than marking the edge of the carriageway), a median or the opposite edge of the carriageway, and a stopped vehicle less than 3 m, as this makes it difficult to bypass the vehicles standing there and will require the driver to cross the dividing line, which is prohibited by the rules.
At a distance of less than 5 m from the edge of pedestrian crossings and their marked area, marked by wide longitudinal stripes or intermittent narrow transverse strips that can cross the road either perpendicularly or at a slight angle. Before pedestrian crossings, after them, at least immediately you can put, if there are no other prohibitions. Logics this rule- the vehicle standing in front of the crossing blocks the view of other drivers and they may not notice the pedestrian, but the pedestrian them, which increases the chance of an accident.
At intersections, at a distance of up to 5m. in all directions from the borders of the intersection.
At public transport stops, 15m from the end and the beginning of the stop. As a rule, stops are marked with special signs and yellow markings. The taxi rank is also marked with sign 5.18, and other vehicles are also prohibited from parking there.
On lanes serving public route transport and bike lanes. These lanes are marked with special signs or markings in the form of the letter A.
On any sections of the carriageway with visibility of the road in any direction less than 100m. Such limited visibility may be due to the curves and slopes of the road.
On sections of the roadway where a parked car will block the visibility of signs or traffic lights to other road users.
On sections of the roadway where a parked car will create an obstacle to the movement of pedestrians and other vehicles, as well as the exit and arrival of other vehicles.
On expressways, with the exception of special areas outside the carriageway, where there is a parking sign. If the stop is forced, then you need to park the car on the side of the road and set an emergency sign (turn on the alarm)
At a distance of less than 50m. parking is prohibited from railway crossings, but stopping is allowed.
On intercity highways with heavy traffic, where there are no shoulders and there is a sign of the main road.

Parking Rules

Parking is a sore point, especially in Moscow, where you can get not only a fine for improper parking, but also not find your car on the spot, as a tow truck will take it to the impound lot.

The vehicle must be placed at an angle to the edge of the carriageway. Two wheelers without side trailer can be placed in two rows.

So, where is parking strictly prohibited?

It is forbidden to park on tram tracks.
It is forbidden to park at stops closer than 15m.
It is forbidden to park on the roadway, thereby creating interference or blocking the movement of other vehicles.
It is forbidden to park where parking and parking are prohibited.
Lawn parking is prohibited.
Parking is prohibited in areas designated for the disabled.
It is forbidden to park on the sidewalk.

Parking on even and odd days

To regulate parking on certain days, special signs are used that allow parking cars on even and odd days of the month. The action of each sign begins from 0 to 24 hours, however, with the simultaneous use of signs 3.29 " Parking prohibited on odd days of the month and 3.30 " Parking prohibited on even days of the month on opposite sides of the carriageway, parking is allowed on both sides of the carriageway from 19:00 to 21:00 - the shift time, and after 21:00 the sign is valid according to the rules of the next day.
