Parking and parking. Why are the rules in place?

21.04.2019

Parking is a painful topic for residents of large cities, especially metropolitan ones: Moscow, Kyiv, St. Petersburg. In this article, we will try to figure out the rules of parking so that one day you don’t happen to see your car being taken away on a tow truck.

These issues are detailed in section 12 of the Rules of the Road.

It is allowed to leave the car for longer than five minutes:

no closer than 5 meters from a zebra or an intersection;
15 meters, but not closer, from stops of route vehicles;
50 meters from railway crossings.

Also in this section of the traffic rules are listed various, in the area of \u200b\u200bwhich parking and stopping are allowed. So, in the conditions of urban cramped streets, cars can be placed parallel to the sidewalk. Sometimes a sign 8.6.1-8.6.9 is posted under the sign 6.4, it shows exactly how it is possible in this place park the car - parallel or perpendicular to the curb, on the sidewalk, and so on.

By default, - if there are no prohibition signs, solid, intermittent (zigzag), - park the car:

parallel to the edge;
on the right edge (if the road is one-way, then it is also allowed on the left);
on the sidelines.

If you are in long journey and are forced to spend the night on the way, then you need to look for service signs on the motorway - Camping, Resting place.

Stop on the sidelines for long-term parking, especially in dark time days is prohibited.

Where can't you park your car?

Paragraph 12.4 of the SDA is completely devoted to this problem. The most basic rule is that you don’t need to park, and indeed stop, where it will create obstacles for other drivers of pedestrians, trams and trolleybuses.

We list the main places:

tram tracks, railway crossings, flyovers, tunnels, bridges - in a word, all those engineering structures where there is active traffic, or car routes intersect with routes of other modes of transport;
at those sections of the road where the distance from the edge of the sidewalk (shoulder) to the dividing line is less than three meters;
on and before crossings, intersections;
at intervals of the route with limited (less than 100 m) visibility, in front of or behind dangerous turns;
in the stop area for minibuses, trams, etc.

Please note that all of the above is true for both stopping and parking.

You also need to pay attention to various road signs: (for example, on even / odd days). You can not park your car in places reserved for the disabled or marked with special signs.

Among other things, you need to avoid parking where your car will block the view of drivers of other vehicles.

About street parking

There are special rules that we previously considered.

Recall them again:

the distance from the parked car to the wall of the building is at least ten meters;
it is forbidden to park on lawns, playgrounds;
if the parking area is designed for up to 50 vehicles, it can be open, but if more than 50, it must be separated by a fence;
can't leave trucks weighing more than three and a half tons.

It must be remembered that in the adjacent territories - in the courtyards of residential buildings - the priority belongs to pedestrians.

Irregular parking fines

To delve into this topic, you need to open the Code of Administrative Offenses, there we will find all the information we are interested in:

parking at a railway crossing - 1000 rubles or confiscation of a VU for 3-6 months. (12.10);
failure to comply with the requirements of signs or markings - 1,500 (3,000 rubles for Moscow and St. Petersburg), sending to a penalty area is also provided (12.16 hours 4-5);
occupied a parking space for vehicles belonging to people with disabilities - 3,000-5,000 (12.19 p.2);
violation of the rules of stopping and parking - 500 rubles (in Moscow and St. Petersburg - 2,500) (12.19 p.1 and 12.19 p.5).

Further, in the sections of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, parking and stopping violations are considered - at crossings, intersections, places of arrival route transport. Please note that for capital cities, the fine is 3,000, and for regions - 1,000-1,500.

If you not only parked against the rules, but also created problems for other participants in the DD, then you won’t get off with one fine - evacuation is provided for by law with all the ensuing consequences: a penalty area, plus a fine.

They deserve special attention on lawns and in residential areas. Each region has its own fee amount. In addition, there are various services through which citizens can complain about violating drivers. So try not to leave your car where it will interfere with others.

It is also worth noting that most yards are not adapted for such a large number of vehicles, so it makes sense to take care of paid parking, from which your car will definitely not be stolen.

The law that each tenant of a high-rise building will be allocated his own place for a car has not yet been adopted. Talks about this are being conducted at the highest levels of government, but so far a bill suitable for signing has not been developed. Let's figure out what norms for parking vehicles in the local areas are in force in 2017, and what the deputies proposed to introduce.

Current sanitary standards

The main document that today regulates parking near apartment building- current sanitary standards. According to them:

a parking pocket for up to 10 cars should be located ten meters from the residential building;
if the parking lot can accommodate up to 50 cars, then it is important to follow all the rules that are provided for arranging the territory around the house.

In the latter case, apartment owners in a high-rise building may try to privatize the local area, but this process is very complicated. They will definitely have to hire lawyers and collect signatures in favor of parking. 2/3 of all owners must vote for the arrangement of places for cars. After collecting all the documents, they will need to contact the district administration. The process of allocating land can take many years, so be patient.

Vehicle owners should remember that sanitary standards are also a law that must be followed by everyone living in a high-rise building. Violations of sanitary standards by motorists can lead to consequences if apartment owners write complaints to the following regulatory services:

fire inspection;
district engineering service;
sanitary inspection;
ecological service.

In 2017, developers must comply with sanitary standards when designing residential areas. If you are just thinking about buying an apartment, consider only offers with large parking spaces and underground parking. In some regions, the authorities have recommended that large construction companies equip extensive underground parking. For example, last news say that such letters of recommendation were received by builders from Krasnoyarsk. In addition, a number of regions have introduced their own block design rules that developers must comply with.

What does the SDA say about parking on the territory near a residential building

Every driver vehicle must obey traffic rules - this is the main law for motorists, which must be observed not only while driving, but also in parking lots for cars near an apartment building. This law provides for the following rules and penalties:

Stopping a car with a running engine for more than 5 minutes, near a residential building. Only parking is allowed for disembarking or embarking passengers, as well as for manipulating cargo. If you for a long time warm up the car in the morning in the cold season, then the neighbors have the right to complain to the traffic police. The inspector can issue a fine of 1,500 rubles or 3,000 (for large cities and capitals).
With the same amount, according to the adopted amendments to the traffic rules, drivers will have to part heavy vehicles. They cannot be placed in the parking pocket of the house; there are special parking lots for trucks and vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons.
In 2019, it is possible to evacuate cars that are on the sidewalks. Special equipment now works in the yards of residential buildings. The driver will have to bear double responsibility - to pay for the evacuation of the car and pay a fine of 2 thousand rubles. In some cases, parking on the sidewalks is not suppressed, but only in situations where two meters are left for the free movement of pedestrians.
The exact amount of the fine cannot be said for another violation - blocking the passage of other vehicles, including vehicles of special services. Often this becomes a whole problem for residents of a multi-storey building, because sometimes the passage is inaccessible to firefighters, rescuers or ambulances. Depending on the situation, the traffic police inspector may appoint different types fine in accordance with the Administrative Code.
Some residents fence off their own private parking spaces near the house, preventing other cars from leaving them. The fine for this reaches 5 thousand rubles.
From two to five thousand is parking at the dumpsters. It complicates the work of public services. Remember that you should not leave the car near garbage cans, the minimum distance from them should be five meters.

Lawn parking deserves special mention. If there are no barriers at the entrance to the lawn near your house, then sooner or later you will find a neighbor’s car on it, who did not get a parking space. The law prohibits leaving cars on the lawn, but remember that in summer time you need to complain about the actions of motorists to the traffic police, and in winter to the sanitary services (if the transport is right under the windows). This is due to the fact that after the snow falls, the boundaries of green spaces in the area near the house are not visible, and the traffic police inspectors are powerless in this case. IN judicial practice there are many cases when negligent motorists were able to protest a fine for parking on a lawn issued in winter.

How fines can be assessed

If you want to punish those who park at your house as they want, then you should not call public organizations and damage other people's property, just follow these steps:

take photos and videos of violations;
invite a traffic police inspector to the courtyard;
inform him of the known data and provide the collected materials.

As a result, the traffic police officer will draw up protocols and issue fines to all violators. Sometimes car owners do not comply with sanitary standards, then it is also worth taking photos and videos of improperly parked cars and contacting the relevant services.

In some cases, a fine may be issued by the fire department, for example, when standing transport blocked the passage to the place of the house where the fire occurred. Employees can inform traffic inspectors about improperly parked cars management company. For example, if the law on parking at garbage cans is violated. In this case, in order to still take out household waste, employees of the Criminal Code can call a tow truck.

Why are the rules in place?

The current rules are created in order to ensure the normal functioning of an apartment building. If you comply with the current law on sanitary standards and traffic rules, then you will not have conflict situations with utilities and neighbors.

Ideally, each house should be allocated a parking space for 10 to 50 cars (depending on the number of apartments and number of floors), but in reality, many who work late have to leave their car wherever they have to. If you can’t find a place for your transport in any way, then it’s best to contact the nearest paid parking.

The law allows residents of the house to install barriers at the entrance to the yard. This will protect them from the cars of residents and guests from neighboring buildings who could not find a place in their parking pocket. However, the purchase and maintenance of the barrier is not included in the fee for public utilities. Its installation can be made after the meeting of all owners and the collection of signatures. Consent to the barrier must give 2/3 of all owners. Money for the installation and maintenance of this equipment is collected from all apartments in the house in equal shares.

What do MPs want to introduce

The new law was developed by the party of Sergei Mironov - "Fair Russia". So far, the project cannot yet be called finalized, since the mechanisms of its action for houses that were built earlier and did not have a vast area around are not clear. That is why new law is under development.

The deputies' proposal is as follows:

The distribution of parking spaces should be related to the area of the apartment. If you have a standard one-room apartment - 33 square meters, then one place will be allocated on the adjacent territory. If the area of the apartment exceeds 50 meters, then families will have two places in the parking lot.
When designing, it is necessary to provide for 40 places for guests if a thousand people live in a high-rise building. If the number of residents is supposed to be equal to two thousand, then there should be 80 guest places.

This law is not perfect, since in Russia large families with several cars can live in small housing. According to the new rules, they will be forced to leave "extra" cars in other territories. While some of the places assigned to residents of spacious apartments may be empty. This situation is fraught with conflicts between residents of high-rise buildings. At the same time, it is easy to find a peaceful solution if you learn to negotiate with your neighbors.

Additionally, the deputies proposed a law according to which local paid parking new rules will apply to residents of nearby houses. In particular, at night they turn into free and everyone can use them, including residents of nearby houses. Presumably, the regional authorities will regulate the implementation of the law, and for control they will have to create a special register that takes into account all parking spaces in the city, including those located in the local area.

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will talk about differences between the concepts of stopping and parking, as well as the rules traffic pertaining to stopping and parking. In addition, possible penalties for wrong parking Vehicle.

Differences between the concepts of stop and parking

First of all, let's look at the difference between the concepts of stopping and parking. This will allow further consideration of the rules for each of the maneuvers separately.

Speaking as simply as possible, these concepts differ in their duration. Stopping is a short maneuver, and parking is a long maneuver. However, these are not all their differences, so let's turn to paragraph 1.2:

"Stop"- deliberate cessation of the movement of the vehicle for up to 5 minutes, and also for more, if it is necessary for boarding or disembarking passengers or loading or unloading the vehicle.
"Parking"- deliberate cessation of the movement of the vehicle for a period of more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the boarding or disembarkation of passengers or the loading or unloading of the vehicle.

First of all, both stopping and parking are intentional cessation of movement, that is, they are carried out at the request of the driver. They should not be confused with stopping traffic in accordance with traffic rules (for example, to let pedestrians through at the crossing) and with a forced stop:

Intentionally stopping the movement of a vehicle is stopping in two cases:

If the car has not moved for less than 5 minutes. It does not matter what the driver and passengers were doing at that time.
If the vehicle is stopped to pick up or drop off passengers or to load or unload goods. In this case, the duration of the maneuver does not matter.

All other intentional traffic interruptions (lasting 5 minutes or more and not related to boarding passengers and unloading cargo) are parking lot.

Once again about duration maneuver. 4 minutes 59 seconds - stop. 5 minutes 0 seconds - parking.

Once again about loading/unloading cargo. If the driver went out to smoke for 10 minutes, then there is a parking lot. If the driver went out to smoke for 10 minutes and took out a stool (cargo) from the trunk for convenience, then there is a stop.

Rules for stopping and parking in 2019

The rules of the road relating to stopping and parking are located in Chapter 12:

Where can the vehicle be parked?

On the right side of the road

Consider clause 12.1 of the SDA:

12.1. Stopping and parking of vehicles is allowed on right side roads on the side of the road, and in its absence - on the carriageway at its edge and in the cases established by paragraph 12.2 of the Rules - on the sidewalk.

1. If there is a roadside to the right of the roadway, then cars are only allowed to park on the sidelines. If the roadside is occupied by other cars or something else, then it is not allowed to park cars on the roadway.

2. Park cars on the road possible only if there is no curb. In this case, the car must stand at the edge of the carriageway, that is, at the curb.

A huge number of cars are parked in settlements and in order to stand next to the curb you will have to perform. A driver who can't perform parallel parking and leaves the car a meter from the edge of the roadway, is a violator.

3. In exceptional cases, cars can be parked and On Pavement. Below this situation will be considered in more detail.

On the left side of the road

Consider the second part of clause 12.1:

On the left side of the road, stopping and parking are allowed in built-up areas on roads with one lane for each direction without tram tracks in the middle and on one-way roads (lorries with a permitted maximum weight more than 3.5 tons on the left side of one-way roads, only stopping for loading or unloading is allowed).

You can stop on the left side of the road only in built-up areas and only in the following cases:

1. On two lane roads(one lane in each direction) with no tram tracks in the middle. If the tram tracks are located on the left or right, then they do not prohibit stopping on the left side of the road.

Note. In practice, a continuous line of markings may be applied on the road, which will not allow stopping or parking on the left side of the road.

2. On one-way roads Parking on the left side is also allowed. IN this case the presence or absence of tram tracks does not matter at all.

make parking;
stop for less than 5 minutes (without loading);
stop to pick up or drop off passengers.

However, a truck driver may park on the right side of a one-way road.

How to park a vehicle?

Parallel to the edge of the road

Answer to the question how to park a vehicle is given in paragraph 12.2:

12.2. It is allowed to park the vehicle in one row parallel to the edge of the carriageway. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer may be parked in two rows.

Thus, vehicles should stand parallel to the edge of the carriageway and at the same time as close as possible to this very edge.

If the driver does not know how to perform and tries to park in front at a short distance, then with a high degree of probability he will put the car at an angle. Such parking is a violation of traffic rules, and a fine is provided for it, which will be discussed below.

Separately, it is worth considering the rules for parking two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles, mopeds,). They are allowed to be placed in 2 rows, i.e. one of the motorcycles may not stand at the edge of the roadway.

At an angle to the edge of the road

A separate paragraph of paragraph 12.2 regulates the setting of vehicles at an angle:

Combination of sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.6.4 - 8.6.9, as well as lines road markings allows the vehicle to be positioned at an angle to the edge of the carriageway if the configuration (local widening) of the carriageway allows such an arrangement.

It is allowed to park vehicles at an angle to the carriageway only in those places where there is a local widening of the carriageway, and only if this point at the same time road signs and road markings.

On Pavement

The last paragraph of paragraph 12.2 is devoted to stopping and parking vehicles on sidewalks:

Parking at the edge of the sidewalk bordering carriageway, is allowed only for cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles in places marked with sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.4.7, 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.6.6 - 8.6.9.

These are the following signs and signs:

6.4 "Parking place".
8.4.1 - 8.4.8 "Vehicle type". Indicate the type of vehicle to which the sign applies.
8.6.1 - 8.6.9 "Parking method" 8.6.1 indicates that all vehicles must be parked on the carriageway along the sidewalk; 8.6.2 - 8.6.9 indicate the method of setting cars and motorcycles in the sidewalk parking lot.

Notice that on the sidewalk can only stand cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. And only if there are appropriate signs.

In addition, vehicles must be parked exactly as shown on the plate:

Please note that only 6 out of 9 plates depict the parking of the car on the sidewalk. 3 signs provide for a stop near the sidewalk. However, only the first plate applies to all vehicles.

It is forbidden to park any cargo on the sidewalk. cars, and not only category C, but also B. At the same time, all trucks must stop only parallel to the edge of the carriageway, and if there is one of the signs 8.6.2 - 8.6.9 on the road, they cannot stop at all.

It is also a violation of the rules to stop a car or motorcycle on the sidewalk in the absence of a corresponding sign.

Let's move on to fines for violating the rules of stopping and parking.

Fines for illegal parking in 2019

Fines for parking violations discussed in this article may be imposed under the Code of Administrative Offenses:

Stop or parking	In Moscow or St. Petersburg	In other regions
at the railroad crossing	1,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3-6 months
in place for the disabled	5 000 rubles
on pedestrian crossing	3 000 rubles	1 000 rubles
On Pavement	3 000 rubles	1 000 rubles
At the stop public transport or taxi	3 000 rubles	1 000 rubles
on tram tracks	3 000 rubles	1 500 rubles
beyond the first row	3 000 rubles	1 500 rubles
in the tunnel	3 000 rubles	2 000 rubles
with the creation of obstacles for other vehicles	3 000 rubles	2 000 rubles
in the coverage area prohibition signs	3 000 rubles	1 500 rubles
in other cases	2 500 rubles	warning or 500 rubles

In 2019, penalties for wrong stop and parking are not too high, so they do not stop many drivers. Even in the "most expensive" places for the disabled, there are often violators' cars.

It should also be said that there is an additional list of places where stopping and parking are prohibited. They are discussed in a separate article:

Good luck on the roads!

tell me why you can not park a bicycle near the institute? I was refused in the dean's office in order to purchase and install a parking lot for a bicycle, referring to the law on the prohibition - what kind of law????, I did not find it.

This needs to be found out in the dean’s office, since the reason can be contrived (reluctance to do something), or real (for example, the land in front of the institute is not under the jurisdiction of the institute, but has a certain status, or there are requirements from the city for the distribution of this site incompatible with the installation of bike racks). Since they know about the law, let them share its name or number.

By the way, what city are we talking about? In Moscow, in particular, you can get bike parking from the municipality for free, all that remains is to spend time and money on its installation.

Tell me, please, for a year now I have been fighting with my neighbor. He parks his car right in front of my exit from the parking lot. Already talked to him. Doesn't understand anything. What do i do? Can he park the car in the yard as he wants?

Kate, the neighbor's car interferes with the passage?

He parks his car right in front of mine. And it turns out that I have to look for other ways to check in. And when I asked to remove the car, in response only rudeness ....

Gennady-14

They evacuated the car from the residential building from the "adjacent territory", one might say from the site opposite the entrance of the house. There is no through passage. Article 12.19 h. 32 is charged with parking in the second row. What to do?

1. Pick up the car from the impound.

2. Lay out a diagram of where and how your car was parked.

I stopped under the sign "parking for the disabled" to load luggage without turning off the car. An inspector drove up, drew up a protocol under article 12.19, part 2. Are the inspector's actions legal?

Certainly legitimate. Is there such a clause in the traffic rules, stopping (parking) is allowed "to load luggage without turning off the car" in the area of the sign "parking for the disabled"?

and if the car is parked on the sign with its back to the curb, and I parked it in front, then for this they can pick up the parking lot for a fine?

Magomed-4

Good day! I drove up to the clinic and stopped the car near the main entrance on the roadway, dropped off the mother and escorted her to the entrance, the car was started, the headlights and emergency lights were on, the time took no more than 5 minutes, the car was not taken away, but a fine of 1,500 rubles came, with adjoining photo-fixation, the photo shows that the lights are on. Are the actions of the traffic police officers lawful and is it possible to appeal against the actions of the employees in court, based on Article 24.5 (clause 3), can this be an extreme necessity given the fact that the mother is a disabled person of group 1, of course there is a certificate of disability. Or is there any other alternative to appeal this fine. Thank you!

Oleg, the specified maneuver will be a violation of the rules. The punishment for him is provided for by part 1 of article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses - a warning or 500 rubles.

Can only be used if the vehicle interferes with other vehicles. In the situation you describe, the probability of evacuation is small.

Good luck on the roads!

Topic 13. Stopping and parking (SDA, chapter 12).

VIDEO LESSON

Basic terms

Clause 1.2. SDA contains a transcript of the terms "stop" and "parking". These concepts imply a deliberate, that is, premeditated cessation of movement in a place chosen for this for a certain period. Parking is considered to be such a cessation of movement, after which nothing happens to the vehicle for a certain period of time. Stopping traffic for more than five minutes is not always a stop. So, for example, when unloading for a long time, the car is in a state of stop. The cessation of movement for boarding and disembarking a passenger is a stop, regardless of its duration. And the cessation of movement for the purpose of refueling or making a purchase is considered a stop, provided that it lasts no more than five minutes.

The word "parking" combines the concepts of "stop" and "parking". Also, in the Rules, parking is called the very place where a stop and parking is made.

In addition, there is the concept of a forced stop. Unlike parking, it is unintentional, caused by a good reason and does not depend on the desires of the driver. It is impossible to impose a ban on such a stop or determine a place for it. Accordingly, the parking rules do not apply to a forced stop. However, in such a situation, the driver must mark his vehicle alarm to prevent collision with other vehicles. If possible, he should roll back or tow the vehicle for more safe place- on the side of the road or sidewalk, then put up a sign emergency stop(clause 12.6. SDA).

Some stoppages are neither intentional nor forced stops nor parking, such as stopping in front of a zebra crossing for pedestrians, stopping at a red traffic light, stopping in a traffic jam. This means that the requirements of Chapter 12 of the Rules do not apply to them.

Parking methods

The first paragraph of clause 12.1. SDA describes the classic way of parking. It can be used by drivers of any vehicle in any place where signs, markings or clauses 12.4. and 12.5. Traffic rules do not prohibit stopping and parking. According to this method The vehicle must be on the right side along the road, pressed close to the sidewalk or pulled to the side of the road (depending on their availability). Clause 12.2. says that motorcycles without a sidecar, mopeds, as well as two-wheeled bicycles can be parked in two rows, and other vehicles - exclusively in one row one after another or separately.

A "parking pocket" is an extension on a roadway used to park vehicles near shopping centers, cinemas, government and commercial institutions and located on the side of the road. In such a "pocket" or in any other parking area, the boundaries of parking spaces can be indicated by marking lines. In this case, you should park there as the markings indicate. If there is a “Parking” sign in front of the “pocket” with a sign “Method of parking the vehicle” 8.6.1., 8.6.4. or 8.6.5. drivers are required to park the car in accordance with the image on the plate. It is important to pay attention to the fact that plates 8.6.4. and 8.6.5. permit the vehicle to be parked at an angle to the pavement.

Sign "Parking" with a sign 8.6.1. implies a generally accepted method of parking a vehicle. Accordingly, such parking is intended for any vehicle. Plates 8.6.4. and 8.6.5. only apply to cars and motorcycles. Drivers of other vehicles must not park in any other way than the one indicated on the plate. It means that buses, trucks, tractors are not allowed to park in this place.

So, the "pocket", marked with a sign "Parking" with signs 8.6.4. and 8.6.5., is used only for parking cars and motorcycles. In the event that the “pocket” does not have signs and marking lines indicating the parking method, drivers of any vehicles are allowed to put them only parallel to the edge of the carriageway, along the sidewalk (plate 8.6.1.). Otherwise, there is a high risk of interfering with the movement of other vehicles.

Clause 12.2. The rules regulate another atypical way of parking a car, namely with a drive on the sidewalk. However, several conditions must be met simultaneously in order to use it.

Firstly, the sidewalk must be marked with a “Parking” sign with a sign 8.6.2., 8.6.3., 8.6.6., 8.6.7., 8.6.8. or 8.6.9., which implies the possibility of parking with a full or partial arrival on it. In a situation where the sidewalk is sign 6.4. is not marked, the driver cannot independently decide whether it is suitable for parking or not, which means that parking in such a place is prohibited.

Secondly, if the first condition is met, the vehicle must be a bicycle, moped, motorcycle or car. Other vehicles, including trucks regardless of their RMM, are not allowed to park on the sidewalk.

When available on the sidewalk established mark"Parking" with a sign 8.4.7. parking is allowed for bicycles and mopeds. Drivers of motorcycles, cars and other vehicles are prohibited from parking on such a sidewalk.

According to the above paragraph 12.1. traffic rules stop and parking on the left side of the road is only possible in built-up areas in two special cases.

First of all, on a narrow street without tram tracks and a continuous marking line. Such a street should have only one lane for traffic in each direction.

And also on one-way roads. At the same time, the width of the carriageway and the number of lanes on it do not matter.

The origin of these requirements is quite simple. As a rule, to park on the left side of the road, the driver needs to cross the path of vehicles moving in the opposite direction. Obviously, on one-way roads, which are often found in the city and never outside the city, there are no oncoming vehicles. Accordingly, the width of the road and the number of lanes are not at all important. However, it should be remembered that on such roads, trucks with a GVW of more than 3.5 tons can park on the left only for the purpose of loading or unloading.

The safety of approaching the left edge of two-way roads depends on the number and speed of oncoming vehicles. Provided that oncoming vehicles are moving at a low speed, typical for urban conditions, and are in the same lane, such a maneuver is possible without threat frontal collision. The risk of an accident increases significantly multi-lane road or when participating in traffic other than trackless tram vehicles.

You can stop and park on the left side of the road if the right side is completely occupied by parked vehicles or if there are signs prohibiting stopping and parking on it. The effect of such signs applies only to the side of the road where they are located.

Clause 12.3. informs about long-term parking or lodging for the night on roads outside settlements. For the reason that country roads are poorly lit, and traffic on them is carried out with sufficient high speed, the risk of a collision with a vehicle parked on the side of the road increases significantly. That is why a requirement was developed to remove cars and other vehicles from the road for long-term parking or overnight stays.

Prohibited parking and stopping places

There are a lot of situations that prohibit stopping. Their list is contained in paragraph 12.4. SDA. It implies a ban not only on stopping, but also on parking, which is impossible without a preliminary stop. Three reasons cause the restrictions listed in paragraph 12.4., namely:

the parked vehicle must not obstruct the movement of other vehicles;
must not pose a threat to traffic safety;
and also force other drivers to violate the Rules.

Clause 12.4. prohibits stopping at fourteen places. Eight of them are proposed for security reasons.

So, stopping and parking are impossible:

at pedestrian crossings and at a distance of less than five meters in front of them;
on bike lanes;
on railway crossings;
in tunnels;
under bridges and overpasses;
at the intersection of carriageways and at a distance of less than five meters in any direction from them;
on the roadway in places with limited visibility(in any direction, the road is visible for less than 100 meters);
in places where the vehicle limits the view of other drivers (blocks traffic lights, road signs).

In order to prevent interference with road users, stopping and parking are prohibited:

In places where the distance between a stopped vehicle and a solid marking line, as well as a dividing strip or the opposite edge of the carriageway, is less than 3 meters, parking is also prohibited. This allows you not to force other road users to violate traffic rules. After all, a detour of a vehicle standing in such a place inevitably entails crossing a solid marking line or moving along a dividing strip, which is prohibited by the Rules.

In addition to these restrictions, there are four more. Stopping and parking are also prohibited:

It is also not allowed to park in the places allocated for the parking of vehicles carrying disabled people and marked with appropriate signs or markings.

You should pay attention to such points:

It should be noted that improper parking can cause damage to the car by another vehicle, a fine or forced evacuation of the vehicle to a penalty parking lot. Knowing the parking rules is essential in order to use them to your advantage.

In the SDA, in addition to clause 12.4., Which prohibits both stopping and parking, there is also clause 12.5. It imposes a ban only on parking, and allows stopping. So, according to this paragraph, parking is prohibited:

In addition, it is impossible to park in the zone of action of signs 3.28., 3.29., 3.30. and 5.27.

Additional requirements

Avoiding parked vehicles with a minimum lateral interval is a fairly common maneuver in heavy traffic. If at such a moment the passenger or driver opens the door from the inside standing car to get out, he can damage two vehicles at once or even get under the wheels of a bypassing vehicle. According to the provisions of clause 12.7. the person leaving must first make sure that he does not interfere with other participants in the movements by opening the door, and only then get out of the car. For this, the driver can use the rear-view mirror and inform his passengers about the situation on the road.

Clause 12.8. The SDA provides for such precautions that the driver must take care of when leaving his car. First of all, when leaving the vehicle, it is very important to ensure that it is stationary. For this you should use parking brake. On steep slopes, you can additionally secure yourself and turn the steering wheel so that when rolling the wheels rest against the curb, and in its absence, they are turned towards the curb, and not the roadway. Another obstacle to the spontaneous movement of the machine may be the included first or second gear or the “Parking” mode on the vehicle with automatic transmission gears.

The second requirement of paragraph 12.8. is that the driver, leaving his car, must lock it and turn it on anti-theft system if available.

Punishment for illegal parking

Stopping and parking in prohibited places is one of the most common violations of the Rules. The reason for this lies not only in the inattention, inconscience and illiteracy of drivers. IN major cities The problem of lack of parking spaces is particularly relevant. Desperate drivers are simply forced to leave their cars anywhere. However, quite often, this only aggravates the already difficult situation on city streets, because a vehicle that has been unsuccessfully left in the parking lot can easily cause traffic jams.

Article 12.19. The Code of Administrative Offenses, which consists of eight parts, considers violations of the rules for stopping and parking. It provides for punishment in the form of a warning or a fine of 500 to 3000 rubles. Parking in places reserved for parking vehicles of disabled people is subject to fines of 5,000 rubles. Such places can only be used by those cars that have an identification mark "Disabled". To install it, you need to obtain permission from the traffic police. Articles 12.16.4. and 12.16.5. The Code of Administrative Offenses is punished for disobeying road signs prohibiting stopping and parking, and articles 12.17.1-1. and 12.17.1-2 - for stopping and parking on a lane intended for the movement of route vehicles, with fines in the amount of 1,500 to 3,000 rubles. There are separate penalties for violating parking rules at railroad crossings and motorways.

In some regions, local laws may prohibit such activities as parking a vehicle on lawns and playgrounds, washing cars in places not intended for this, etc. Punishment for such violations may differ depending on the region. So, for example, in Moscow, article 4.18.2. The Code of Administrative Offenses provides for punishment for motor vehicles for damaging green spaces, including lawns, in the form of a fine of 4,000 to 4,500 rubles. Such violations are registered not by traffic police officers, but by district commissioners or environmental police specialists. Considering them and punishing the guilty is already the area of responsibility of special administrative commissions operating under local authorities.

Another type of punishment is the detention of an incorrectly parked vehicle and its forced evacuation to a penalty parking lot or blocking the wheels in the parking lot. Such measures are necessary if the vehicle is left on the roadway in wrong place and interfere with other road users. Vehicles parked in violation of the requirements of Articles 12.16.4., 12.16.5., 12.19.2, 12.19.3., 12.19.3-1., 12.19.3-2., 12.19.4., 12.19.6. of the Code of Administrative Offenses, may be punished in the form of evacuation to a penalty parking lot.

Information that the vehicle was sent to the impound lot must be provided either by the traffic police officers working at the place where it was left, or by the specialists on duty of the relevant traffic police department, or by the evacuation service workers on the helpline. After making the relevant inquiries, as well as presenting a passport, rights, documents for the vehicle and paying a fine, services for the evacuation and storage of the car, the owner will be able to obtain written permission to receive the car.

It is worth paying attention to such important facts. Evacuation is prohibited if there are people inside the vehicle, or if the driver showed up before the car was loaded. In the latter case, you still have to pay a fine. In addition, before evacuation, a protocol on the detention of the vehicle and an act containing a description of all damage to the vehicle must be drawn up. The owner has every right to demand compensation for the damage caused if his vehicle has received new damage and defects not reflected in the act during loading, unloading or transportation. After the appearance of the owner of the car and the registration of the violation, it must be immediately returned to the owner or his authorized representative.

While the car is moving along the highway, the driver tries to follow the rules of the road (traffic rules), and completely forgets about them when it comes time to stop and park the car. What this is connected with is not entirely clear. It is likely that while driving, a deterrent may be the risk of meeting a traffic police patrol, or the possibility of getting into the field of view of a surveillance camera.

But the fact remains, only it comes to parking, everything knowledge of traffic rules disappear somewhere, memory lapses appear. There is simply no other explanation for what is happening on the streets.

Transport funds are parked wherever they let you go specifications car. At the same time, drivers are completely indifferent to whether the car will interfere with others. The main concern is to park as close as possible to the final destination of the trip.

But
the amount of fines for "wrong" parking, no less than for other offenses and often much more seriously. Plus, the analysis of the offense with traffic police inspectors is always accompanied by spent nerve cells, and a lot of negative emotions.

Getting rid of this is quite simple - read, understand the nuances and firmly remember what the traffic rules say about those places where parking is prohibited, and strictly follow what you read. By the way, the word "parking" is synonymous with the word "parking". Recently, it has been used in traffic rules. Previously, sign 6.4 was called "Parking place", now it has been renamed to "Parking place", the meaning has not changed.

1. Parking is prohibited, wherever DD rules prohibit stopping

The two terms “stopping” and “parking” imply the intentional cessation of movement. But the difference between them is only five minutes.

If after stopping the movement, the vehicle did not budge, less than five minutes, then according to the traffic rules, this is considered a stop. If this time was 5 minutes or more, then it is called parking. Thus, initially it should be remembered where it is impossible to stop.

Traffic rules prohibit stopping:

Under the sign prohibiting stopping - "Stopping is prohibited" (3.27).
In places where the vehicle will interfere with the free movement of trams (on or near tram tracks).

Fine, for stopping and parking tram line is one and a half thousand rubles. For St. Petersburg and Moscow, the amount of the fine is twice as much - three thousand rubles.

At the intersection of the carriageway with the railway.

The size of the fine for stopping, and, accordingly, parking at the crossing will be 1 thousand rubles. But, in addition to a fine, there is a risk of losing driving license for at least three months, and if the offense is committed repeatedly. That the driver threatens to be left without a license for a year.

If the distance between the opposite edge of the road and the parked vehicle is less than three meters. The median lane and solid marking line, in this case also considered the edge of the road, and the distance is measured to the lane or line.

For violation, the minimum blow to the driver's pocket will be 1500 r. This is only if the offender did not interfere with other vehicles, otherwise the fine will increase to 2 thousand rubles. (For St. Petersburg and Moscow - three thousand in both cases).

2. Parking under the sign "Parking prohibited". (3.28)

This sign, like all the others, is valid only on the side of the road where it was installed. For example - on a road where only one-way traffic is allowed, and the sign is installed on the right side of the road, then its effect, on left side, is not covered, and parking is allowed there.

The territory on which this sign operates ends at the nearest intersection encountered in the direction of travel. But it should be noted here that the dirt roads, or exits from adjacent territories, or some other areas, are not considered intersections.

If the sign is used together with marking 1.10 (dashed yellow line), then its effect is determined by the length of this marking. The action of the sign "Parking is prohibited" ends at the entrance to the settlement, or exit from it.

If a plate (8.2.2.) is attached under the sign, then the effect of the sign is limited to the distance indicated on the plate. Plates 8.2.3 and 8.2.4 also define the distribution area of the sign.

When a sign prohibiting parking is installed jointly with one of the plates 8.4.1-8.4.8, this means that the prohibition applies only to the type of transport indicated on the plate.

This sign does not apply to:

Parking in territories that fall under the signs “Stopping is prohibited” and “Parking is prohibited” is punishable by a fine of 1,500 rubles, for Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3,000 rubles.

3. Parking on the roadway

On the road, if highway passes, outside locality, and marked with " the main road» (2.1), the fine is 1 thousand rubles.

4. Parking at the railway crossing

At the railway crossing, and 50 meters from it. A fine of 1,000 rubles is imposed on violators; if the violation is repeated, the driver is deprived of the right to drive the vehicle for a period of 1 year.

In addition to the above, it should be remembered that a number of important points .

If a parked car is an obstacle to the movement of other vehicles or pedestrians- this is considered a violation of the parking rules of the vehicle. The fine for such parking is provided in the amount of 3 thousand rubles, plus the vehicle is sent to the impound by a tow truck.

You can often see parked car right on the lawn. There is no ban on such parking in the traffic rules. However, damage to lawns, flower beds, trees, etc. is an offense. The amount of the fine for this is determined by the local authorities. The average for the regions is 500 rubles.

Parking on the sidewalks is not a rare occurrence either. Certainly, there is such a thing as "near sidewalk parking", but such places are marked with a sign, with a sign explaining exactly how it is allowed to park vehicles. Unauthorized parking on the sidewalk, in addition to a fine, may result in the evacuation of the vehicle. Moreover, even if the car is on the sidewalk with only one wheel, this will already be regarded as a violation of the rules for placing the vehicle in the parking lot. Two wheels on the pavement can make things worse.

Such a parking may be regarded by the traffic police inspector as driving on sidewalks, and will cost the owner of a parked car - 2 thousand rubles. In addition, the vehicle may be detained and sent to the impound.

In conclusion, I would like to remind, lovers of parking vehicles, where parking is prohibited.

What in addition to the fine for parking violations, the services of a tow truck, as well as parking a vehicle in a car impound, are paid separately
