But parking bans in certain areas have always been, albeit in smaller quantities, and places where parking (parking) is prohibited in 2020 are marked with special signs and markings that do not allow breaking the rules and involve liability before the law, in case of violation of the prescribed regulations of the rules.
General points
In settlements there are areas where you can not park in any case. These include pedestrian crossings, narrow roadsides, intersections and tram tracks, as well as public transport stops.
That is, there is a ban on parking in all places where a car can interfere with the passage of other vehicles or disturb the peace of pedestrians, but unfortunately not all drivers comply with this rule.
But violations of the rules pose a threat not only to other people, but also to the violator himself, since he risks provoking or reducing visibility on the road, which can lead to dire consequences.
Basic concepts
To figure out where it is forbidden to stand, as well as what is due for violating the ban, you should determine for yourself the meanings of the most popular concepts operating in this area:
| Term | Meaning |
| parking | A specially designated area where parking of vehicles is allowed by signs and markings, in which the latter will not interfere with the movement of other vehicles and at the same time be safe themselves |
| Fine | A measure of administrative influence, which consists in recovering from the violating person, whose guilt has been proven, a certain amount of money in favor of the injured party, going to cover losses or potential damage |
| Road sign | A special graphic that informs drivers about the need to comply with certain rules and regulations regarding traffic. All signs are defined in the traffic rules and are mandatory |
What is its meaning
The parking ban helps to avoid traffic jams and accidents in places where the parked car can slow down traffic or take up too much space, especially if there is no separate parking pocket for it.
Thus, zones prohibited for parking make it possible to normalize traffic and prevent a deterioration of the situation and even the occurrence of a collapse in traffic.
Normative base
Samples of road signs and their meaning are given in where you can see how the correct image should look like, what shape the sign stencil should be, and also what information it carries.
At the same time, violations of the parking ban are stipulated in and its dedicated specifically to traffic issues, as well as containing fines for all types of offenses.
Features of these parking lots
Places where you can not stand or even stop should have stop signs and parking is prohibited with additional signs.
It is necessary to see if there is a clarification under the sign itself, how long it is valid, because if there are none, it means that parking is prohibited before the intersection, and after it you can safely park.
What do road signs look like?
The road sign itself, instructing the prohibition of parking, looks like a red circle, in the center of which there is a red strikethrough on a blue background.
Photo: road sign 3.27 - Stopping is prohibited
If the driver sees a no parking sign with a downward arrow, which is usually added on a special white plate, this means that the sign does not start after it, as it always works, but before, so such additions should be distinguished.
In general, signs can also be square, triangular, rectangular and carry different information that can be identified by color.
For example, prohibitory and warning signs will be red, prescriptive signs will be highlighted in blue, and temporary ones will also have a red design, but in their central part there is a yellow color.
Area of effect
If the sign stands without additional information, this means that it is valid until the nearest intersection, when there is a white sign under it with an arrow up and a written distance, that is how much it will work.
In any case, it is necessary to look for additions, by the way, as mentioned above, if the arrow under the sign is pointing down, then you need to count the forbidden zone in front of the sign and, again, to the intersection, if there are no additional clarifications.
Traffic rules do not allow you to stop
There are certain places in which the Rules of the Road simply prohibit stopping, due to a high threat to other road users or worsening traffic conditions.
The full list is just in this regulatory legal act, and it includes areas of pedestrian crossings, vehicle stops, places where there is limited room for maneuvering or there is a highway for vehicles that do not have the ability to maneuver.
Pedestrian crossings
There is a rule according to which it is impossible to park not only on, but also in the five-meter zone in front of it.
After all, a standing car, especially a large one, significantly worsens the visibility of pedestrians, and as a result, a person who has entered the crossing can come as a surprise to a moving car.
At the same time, after the pedestrian crossing, you can park the car, but it is better to drive off a few meters to eliminate any possible interference for both pedestrians and drivers.
By the way, if the road has a continuous division, then the width of the lane in one direction must be at least three meters, otherwise you can’t park on it at all.
But if the reason for parking is a car breakdown or an accident, then it is permissible, but in any case, you need to try to free the roadway and highlight the car breakdown by installing a special emergency sign and turning on the signal.
Tram rails
Parking on tram tracks is also prohibited by traffic rules. At the same time, the territory adjacent to this road object is also taken into account.
It is forbidden to stop a vehicle close to tram tracks, if this may interfere with its movement.
There is a conflict that arises with those tram tracks that are not directly used for tram traffic. For example, the operation was stopped several years ago and never resumed.
From a legal point of view, even in this case, leaving the vehicle near the tram tracks is not worth it. It can still be regarded as a traffic violation.
Tunnels
Stopping in this case will be prohibited by traffic rules. In case of violations, appropriate sanctions for violation of the law will be applied.
There are no exceptions or additional factors in terms of this structure. Although there are stopping options for bridges, flyovers and overpasses.
These include the presence of three or more lanes on this section of the road. Only with this rule in mind can a stop be carried out.
Places with limited visibility
Such sections of the roadway are those that have:
- dangerous turns;
- convex fractures of the road in a longitudinal view;
- road visibility is limited to less than 100 meters in one direction.
It is important to understand that the rule of the ban on parking and stopping only applies to situations where a citizen turns off the car's engine on the roadway.
If you place the vehicle on the side of the road, then such an action will not be regarded as a traffic violation.
In the case of dangerous turns, there will be corresponding signs on the road - the directions of turns in red triangles.
Crossing the road
You can't park your car at the intersection. In this case, the rule is immutable and has no additional factors and exceptions.
The rules of the road highlight another prohibition on leaving the vehicle - directly next to the intersection of the road.
The distance in this case from the intersection should be at least five meters. It is not recommended to park a car in the case of off-site adjacent areas.
This position of the car will interfere with those road users who make a turn.
Other violations
Where parking is prohibited
Traffic rules also determine those places where stopping cannot be made, otherwise it will lead to a violation of traffic and the creation of an emergency.
There are several places to remember. Otherwise, not only the imposition of a fine is possible, but also serious consequences in the form of an accident.
The designation of such territories is handled by the document of traffic rules. The above places are also included in this list.
But there are also those stops that have twofold rules in terms of parking bans.
Main road outside the village
In order for the parking ban to appear, you must enter the roadway outside the settlement.
In this case, such a segment of the roadway should be marked with the sign 2.1. The place to stop in this case will be only the curb zone.
If the stop occurs on the roadway, then this may serve as a basis for a fine.
And this is the most lenient punishment, since situations with traffic accidents also happen.
In this area of the road, the speed of movement is higher than in the city, so the braking distance for cars will be longer.
Video: violation of the rules of stopping and parking
Railroad crossings
The minimum distance from the vehicle to the railway crossing must be at least 50 meters. To indicate this kind of stop, certain signs are used.
In this case, the rule applies that it is impossible to stop the vehicle not only before moving, but also after it for a specified number of meters.
It should be remembered that there are several he before moving:
- object directly;
- 50 meters to it;
- 100 meters to it;
- more than 100 meters to the object.
All of them are marked with signs, which allows you to determine what the distance should be and where the driver should stop without violating traffic rules.
What are the penalties
Penalties in terms of stops are expected in the following amounts:
| Type of violation | Size in the regions (Moscow and St. Petersburg), rubles |
| Railroad crossing | 1 thousand, deprivation of rights for a period of 3 to 6 months |
| Place for people with disabilities | 5 thousand |
| Crosswalk Sidewalk Public transport stop, taxi |
1 thousand (3 thousand) |
| Tram rails Further than the front row |
1.5 thousand (3 thousand) |
| Tunnel Obstacles for other road users |
2 thousand (3 thousand) |
| Other variants of violations | Warning, 500 (2.5 thousand) |
To indicate places where it is impossible and where you can park, the Rules provide for special signs.
They are installed separately or together with explanatory plates and inscriptions that indicate the zone and time of validity of these signs.
For similar purposes, yellow road markings are provided in the form of solid and broken lines. They are applied from the right edge of the road tight.
The Rules also establish a specific list of zones in which stopping and parking is prohibited.
Consider where you can and cannot park, we denote the permissible distances.
Parking - a specially marked or equipped place that is part of a highway, or adjacent to a carriageway, sidewalk, roadside or bridge. It is intended for organized parking of the vehicle.
Parking - stopping the movement of the car for more than 5 minutes, which is not related to boarding passengers or unloading cargo. Parking - the car was left, for example, in the courtyard near the house, and the driver is no longer going to go anywhere in it today.
The main differences between parking, stopping and parking:
- Parking: a place where the car is taken out of service and left for a short time. In long-term parking, the car is not guarded. You can park your car free of charge for a short time.
- Stop: Intentional cessation of movement for up to five minutes. In this case, disembarkation or landing of people, unloading or loading of goods is carried out.
- Parking: stopping traffic for more than five minutes, which is not associated with the boarding of passengers. The driver is not obliged to report on its causes.
Stopping and parking (Chapter 12 SDA) are allowed:
The method of stopping the car or parking is determined by the sign 6.4. When a sign is combined with plates 8.6.4-8.6.9 and road marking lines, parking of a vehicle is allowed at an angle to the edge of the carriageway if the space allows such an arrangement.
Parking on the edge of the sidewalk bordering the 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.
Is pavement parking allowed? It is necessary to separate the concepts of "sidewalk", "roadside". The sidewalk is a space for pedestrians to move, separated from the road by a curb, lawn or green spaces.
Parking on the sidewalk is not allowed, otherwise you can get a fine. The car can also be towed. Shoulder - a part of the road that is at the same level, not separated by curbs or lawn. It stands out with a special markup. It allows parking.
Parking on the sidewalk can be justified if there is a technical malfunction of the car or force majeure. They must be documented.
Violation of this rule is regulated by Article 12.9 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, paragraph 3. The amount of the fine is 1000 rubles.
Video: Stopping and parking
As for allowable distances
Let's briefly answer the most common questions:
At what distance from the turn can you stop the car? If visibility on road sections is less than 100 m, you cannot stop the car before dangerous turns.
If the road is divided by continuous markings, the width of the lane next to the pedestrian crossing for one direction should not be less than 3 meters. Exception - the car is faulty, an accident has occurred.
5 meters is counted from the installed sign to the car. If there is no sign, then the distance is counted from the applied zebra.
Can I park behind a pedestrian crossing? You can, if there are no signs that parking is prohibited. If the pedestrian crossing is located immediately after the intersection, you need to drive 5 meters after the intersection. Otherwise, the driver will create an emergency situation.
Can you park at a T-junction? Stopping is not allowed at the intersection of carriageways, closer than five meters from the edge of the crossing carriageway.
Exception: stopping in front of a side passage at such intersections with a solid marking line or a dividing strip.
Questions about the "Stop line"
How many meters before the stop line do you need to stop? If the “Stop Line” markings and the corresponding sign are installed in accordance with GOST, on the same line, then usually motorists do not have any problems.
Stop just before the stop line. If there is only a marking, but there is no sign, the motorist stops in front of the marking. If the marking is erased, or it is covered with snow, you need to stop in front of the sign.
If the sign and markings are not located on the same line, the driver must be guided by the road sign. The stop line sign has priority over the markings, drivers should stop in front of it.
Consider where you can not stop the car:
Parking is punishable by a fine, i.e. not allowed:
- on main roads outside settlements;
- from railway crossings the distance should be more than 50 meters;
- in all places where stopping is prohibited, as well as in places that are marked with prohibition signs.
Lawn
Is it possible to park on the lawn? For this, you can get a fine of 1000-5000 rubles. In different cities, the size of the fine is different.
The car can be evacuated to a penalty parking lot. Officials can pay 30,000 rubles, and organizations - 300,000 rubles.
In 2019, parking violations are punishable by fines, in some cases, evacuation. The average amount of fines for illegal parking is 3,000 rubles.
For each violation, a different amount of punishment is provided:
Parking in an area where prohibition signs or markings operate in Moscow and St. Petersburg is punishable by three thousand rubles, in other cities - 1,500 rubles. Forced evacuation is possible in the presence of the sign "Working tow truck".
A complete list of penalties for improper parking can be found on the traffic police website: http://www.gibdd.ru/mens/fines/.
In some cases, for violation, the evacuation of the car to the penalty parking is threatened. But evacuation does not exempt from paying penalties.
An unscrupulous motorist, in addition to a fine, will pay for the evacuation and storage of his vehicle in a special parking lot.
Also, after the evacuation and storage of the car in the parking lot, scratches, dents and other damage often appear on the vehicle.
Some fines are eligible for a 50% discount. The benefit does not apply if the driver was fined for:
- unpaid parking;
- lawn parking.
You can pay the fine at a discount within 20 days after receiving the penalty.. But if you received a parking fine based on a photo, then you need to remember that violations that are recorded by cameras usually come to the violator later, and the discount can be lost.
You need to regularly check for penalties online. For example, on the same website of the traffic police.
In the courtyard of a residential building
In the yard of a residential building, it is prohibited to park outside the designated places for trucks and all vehicles with the engine running for more than five minutes.
Through traffic, training driving is prohibited. Parking or heating the car for more than five minutes is allowed only in specially designated areas. Fine - 1500-3000 rubles.
In courtyards, the general parking rules must also be observed. The vehicle must not obstruct the movement of other vehicles.
Let's find out if it is possible to park on a semicircular marking of paid parking?
In paid parking lots, semicircular markings are used to mark the turning points of a vehicle, and in residential areas, a semicircle is necessary to indicate a turn on the carriageway and the adjacent territory.
Adjacent territory - an area close to the roads, but not a carriageway.
Such markings prohibit parking within its boundaries.. The ban is justified by the fact that the car may impede the movement of other participants (clause 12.4 of the Rules).
But paragraph 1.2 of the SDA regulates: if there is a roadway on the adjacent territory, then the motorist cannot stop the car closer than five meters from the edge of the roadway.
In the absence of a roadway, parking on a semicircular marking will not be a violation (at the edge of the adjacent zone).
Despite some contradiction in the legislation, you need to know the parking rules.
safety island
Can I park on the safety island? There are no clear paragraphs in the Rules that describe fines for entering or stopping on a safety island. Fines are issued depending on the specific location.
Islands are marked with a solid line. Violation of the line, its intersection falls under 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If the driver stopped in the pedestrian zone, he faces a fine of 2,000 rubles.
When can I park for free in paid parking? Sunday and holidays. If Friday is a day off, then on Saturday you can also park your car for free.
Emergency vehicles with identification marks on them are parked free of charge.
Free parking is allowed everywhere, except for places for the disabled, places for trucks and buses.
Also, you can park for free with a special preferential permit, which the disabled, members of large families, heroes of the Russian Federation, and so on have.
If there is a car without a license plate in the parking lot, and it is 400 meters from the crowd of people and closer, it will be evacuated. Such a vehicle may pose a threat.

Tales about parking on a semicircle (or triangle) roam from site to site. Your site is no exception.
Semicircular marking 1.1 is not a parking space and is not included in the parking lot. If parking is paid, you don't have to pay anything. And a car placed inside a semicircle / triangle does not violate anything at all. This is Mr. Liksutov's "self-propelled gun" of pure water, which cannot be found either in the traffic rules or in the state standards. He specifically appealed to the traffic management department of the Traffic Police Regiment for the Central Administrative District of Moscow and to the judge of the Moscow City Court A. Seliverstova, who deals with cases on the APN on the roads. Both in the traffic police regiment and in the Moscow City Court there is only one answer: it is not included in the parking lots, you can put it if it is not prohibited by other signs.
Doubt? Then put your car in a semicircle after the sign 3.27. Get, at least with payment, at least without, a "letter of happiness" for 3,000 rubles. Or even find your horse in the impound if the sign was with a sign 8.24. They will popularly explain to you that the semicircle is not the boundary of the parking lot, and therefore does not interrupt the zone of action of the sign 3.27. And they will be right. With regards to clause 12.4 of the SDA, it must be observed in any case - whether there is a semicircle or not. Most often, a semicircle is drawn exactly where your parking obviously does not interfere with anyone.
A the parking boundary is L-shaped marking 1.1. Behind it is just a roadway.
It's just rubbish, which is not in the traffic rules:
“But paragraph 1.2 of the SDA regulates: if there is a roadway in the adjacent territory” ...
The carriageway is only along the roads.
Vladimir, driving experience 44 years
Good afternoon, dear reader.
At the end of 2018, this paragraph also added a ban on parking on bicycle and bicycle paths, closer than 5 meters from the intersections of bicycle and bicycle paths with the carriageway and next to low curbs designed to get people with limited mobility off the sidewalks.
12.4. Stopping is prohibited:
- in the cyclist lane.
It is prohibited to stop vehicles on the lane for cyclists marked with road sign 5.14.2:
10. Motorway
16.1. On motorways prohibited:
- stopping outside special parking areas marked with signs 6.4 or 7.11;
Stopping on the motorway is allowed only at special sites marked with signs "Parking place" or "Place of rest":
If there are no such signs, then stopping on the motorway is prohibited.
Where is parking prohibited?
With places where parking of vehicles is prohibited, things are somewhat simpler, and paragraph 12.5 relating to them is much shorter.
1. In places where stopping is prohibited
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- in places where stopping is prohibited;
In this case, we are talking about all the points that were listed above. Where stopping is prohibited, parking is always prohibited.
2. On the main road outside the village
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- outside settlements on the carriageway of roads marked with sign 2.1;
If you are driving outside the settlement on the road marked with the sign 2.1, then keep in mind that you can stop for parking only on the sides of the road. You can't do this on the road.
2.1 "The main road". Road on which the right of way of passage of unregulated intersections is granted.
3. Near railway crossings
12.5. Parking is prohibited:
- closer than 50 m from railway crossings.
You can find out more about the rules for parking near railway crossings at. In particular, it explains in detail how to measure 50 meters from the crossing, without resorting to the help of a tape measure and other measuring instruments.
No stop and no parking signs
No stop sign
In addition to the conditions listed above, there is a special sign "Stopping is prohibited" in the traffic rules:
The No Stopping sign can be installed on any section of the road and is valid, as a rule, until the nearest intersection.
For example, this sign is installed on bridges, the boundaries of which the driver cannot determine while driving.
Please note that although the sign is called "No Stopping", it prohibits not only stopping, but also parking vehicles.
No parking sign
By analogy with the sign "Stopping is prohibited" in the SDA there is also a sign "Parking is prohibited":
This sign is 100 percent true to its name and only prohibits parking of vehicles.
In addition, we should not forget about the signs "Parking is prohibited on odd" and "Parking is prohibited on even":
Sign 3.27 prohibits both stopping and parking, 3.28 - only parking, 3.29 - parking only on odd days of the month, 3.30 - parking only on even days of the month.
Area of validity of signs
Let me remind you of some features of the application of these.
The signs listed above are valid from the place of their installation to the nearest intersection or to the end of the settlement. In addition, the area of validity of signs can be limited in the following ways:
1. Together with the sign, plate 8.2.2 is installed:
2. A repeated sign 3.27 - 3.30 is installed with a sign 8.2.3:
3. Sign 3.31 "End of the zone of all restrictions" is installed:
4. If the sign is used in conjunction with a yellow marking line, then it is valid until the end of this marking line:
It should be remembered that signs apply only to the side of the road on which they are installed. Those. if the sign 3.27 is located on the right side of the road, then it does not prohibit parking the vehicle on the left side. For example, on a one-way road.
Penalties for incorrect stopping and parking
Penalties for improper stopping and parking of vehicles are given in the Code of Administrative Offenses:
| Stop or parking | In Moscow or St. Petersburg | In other regions |
| at the railroad crossing | 1,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3-6 months |
|
| in place for the disabled | 5 000 rubles | |
| at the pedestrian crossing | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| On Pavement | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| at a public transport or taxi stop | 3 000 rubles | 1 000 rubles |
| on the tram lines | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| beyond the first row | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| in the tunnel | 3 000 rubles | 2 000 rubles |
| with the creation of obstacles for other vehicles | 3 000 rubles | 2 000 rubles |
| in the coverage area prohibition signs | 3 000 rubles | 1 500 rubles |
| in other cases | 2 500 rubles | warning or 500 rubles |
In general, at present, penalties for violating the rules for stopping are quite diverse and range from a warning to 5,000 rubles.
Please note that when paying the listed fines, you can get. To do this, you must pay a fine within 20 days from the date of violation.
In addition, for violation of the parking rules, the car can be evacuated to a car impound:
Good luck on the roads!

Is it possible to make a stop on this island, which is framed on all sides by marking 1.2.1?
For highways:1. Horizontal markings
Lines 1.1, 1.2.1 and 1.3 are not allowed to be crossed.
Line 1.2.1 is allowed to be crossed to stop the vehicle on the side of the road and when leaving it in places where stopping or parking is allowed.
16. Driving on motorways
16.1. On motorways it is prohibited: to stop outside special parking areas marked with sign 6.4 or 7.11;
16.2. In case of a forced stop on the roadway, the driver must mark the vehicle in accordance with the requirements of Section 7 of the Rules and take measures to bring it to the lane intended for this (to the right of the line marking the edge of the roadway).
I don't see signs in the photo that allow stopping there.
Alexander, Are you sure that the 1.2.1 markup is applied, and not the 1.1 markup?
The figure shows that on both sides of the "island" there is a road. What is on the third side?
Alexandra-27
Good afternoon Help, please, with one question. I will try to formulate it in a human way. There is a "No Stop" sign. There is a bus stop next. Can I stop at a stop for picking up and dropping off passengers in the area of this sign? At the same time, there are no yellow marking lines at this bus stop. This question really torments me) Or can you always stop at stops, all depending on the signs prohibiting stopping?
Alexandra-27,
clause 12.4 makes an exception only for embarkation and disembarkation, the established sign 2.37 "Stopping is prohibited" prohibits this exception, i.e. from the sign to the nearest intersection, stopping is prohibited!
Dmitry-332
Good afternoon. They evacuated the car, parked near the sign of the intersection with the tram line. There is no mention of this in the rules anywhere.
Dmitriy, Hello.
What is the infringement in the order?
Hello Maxim. The vehicle was evacuated from the local area registered as the property of the HOA (documents available). The inspector's motivation is parking on the sidewalk (clause 12.2). It seems to me that in this case it is appropriate to consider the surrounding area and apply paragraph 17 (Movement in residential areas). Taking into account the primacy of the status of the Federal Law (Article 36.1.1, paragraph 4, paragraph 2 - the owners also own the land) over the Government Decree (SDA), the owners of the assigned territory themselves have the right to establish the order of traffic and pedestrians. Clarification: in the parking lot of the car, the width of the asphalt road to the house is more than 10 meters. In narrow places, sidewalks are highlighted (raised relative to the main canvas by 15 cm and have a width of 0.7 m). What am I wrong about and what are my chances of challenging the protocol (the decision has not yet been issued). Thank you.
and there are also "Rules for improvement ..." for your locality, and also SNiPs for cities and villages related to territories ...
Access to vehicles (loading and unloading things, firemen, ambulances, garbage trucks, etc.) must be provided to each house. To several houses they are called something like intra-quarter, to single-standing - such as a house entrance, a driveway to the house. If there is no separate sidewalk (marked with a sign, or elevated above the rest of the roadway), then, as you already mentioned, these driveways are intended for traffic of both cars and people. It is spelled out how the participants in the movement should lead them. For long and narrow passages, there should be pockets for passing cars, and so-called guest pockets for parking cars should be provided near the house. Etc.
In order for this roadway (aka the passage) to become exactly a sidewalk, where you could only drive in for loading and unloading, I wrote its signs above. Or maybe the inspector found fault that your car was not parallel to the edge of the roadway, p.12.2? If in parallel and did not interfere with the movement, I believe that you have every chance to challenge the punishment.
Alexey-361
Good afternoon.
Is it allowed to park or stop at the turn of a multi-lane highway?
If there is no separate sidewalk (marked with a sign,
vectorv Thank you for your opinion. I hope to "overcome" the inspector during the New Year's Eve. I will write about the result.
Well, finally, I have a chance to see him! Please, show me what the sidewalk sign looks like. And then many write about him, but no one shows.
Yes please, since you still don't know.
Only to be precise, not the "Pavement" sign as you write, but the sidewalk marked with the sign (4.5.1. "Pedestrian path".) as I wrote.
Well, here's another takedown. Sign "Pedestrian path", and you write about the sign "Pavement"! I gave a quote, there is no "pedestrian path" there, it says "sidewalk" in Russian in white and about some mysterious sign!
No, I wrote in Russian in blue about " pavement marked with a sign", and my pictures are about the same. It was you who decided to play tricks and pin up, but it didn’t work out)
No matter how you call it, "footpath", "sidewalk", etc., it does not matter, because in order to exclude the passage of vehicles on them, they are designated precisely by this sign with a drawn little man; everyone knows about it, so it is "mysterious" only for you)
Alexei, Hello.
What do you mean by "reversal"?
Hello! I stopped for 4 seconds (this is a photo) in the area of the sign "paid parking for tourist buses" to unload passengers, I received a fine of 3000, how much is this fine justified?
6.5 + 8.4.5 + 8.8 obviously.And what is this sign? Can you provide his number in the traffic code?
Miriam, signs, forbidding stop all other vehicles except those indicated on the parking sign were there or not?
Mikhail-165
Is it possible to stop at the right edge of the carriageway if there are tram tracks in the center of the road and the marking "public transport stop" is applied directly at the tram tracks, and not at the right edge of the carriageway? An example-picture at the link the markup is highlighted in pink. The "tram stop" sign stands 10 meters before the start of the marking.
On the left and right of the roadway there are "pockets" in which cars are parked.
On the left, these "pockets" are marked with the sign 6.4 with tabular 8.6.5, on the right there is no such sign.
(On the right there are the same pockets as on the left, just not visible from afar in the photo).
Question - is parking allowed in the "pocket" on the left and right?
Left is allowed, right is not.
Thanks, that's what I assumed...
On the right is also allowed, but, despite the pocket, only parallel to the edge of the IF.
The question was with an addition to the photo - namely, when installing the sign 3.27 in front of the pockets
(it’s clear without a sign - it’s possible in a pocket, and it can be parallel to an inverter where there is no pocket)
Recently, a sign 3.27 was placed at the beginning of the street both on the left side and on the right side.
Good afternoon Can you tell me if parking is considered a violation in this case? A recently built business center, a fairly wide adjacent area paved with tiles (about 15-20 m to the roadway, a fence along the roadway), clearly a car pocket along the fence from the business center, a fairly wide pedestrian zone. But it turns out that in order to enter this pocket, you need to enter the territory of the BC. There is no parking sign, by mistake or not, I don't know... But the local "activists" are puffed up and claim that this is a violation - parking on the sidewalk... Who is right?
well, somehow 15-20m is too wide for the sidewalk, which, in the right way, should be raised above the roadway to the height of the curb, well, and preferably marked with the appropriate sign. If there is nothing of the kind, as well as a "brick" sign, then it seems like nothing forbids parking on this site.
And even better, so that we don’t guess here, we would come and find out from the administration of this Center what this site is intended for, and when the appropriate signs (marking) are scheduled to appear.
For clarity, I am attaching a photo from Yandex.maps, it shows that there is no difference in levels anywhere to consider it a sidewalk, cars both parked and parked, I highlighted this place in the photo, from where motorists were driven away, and activists periodically "on duty" there, they are rude, they threaten to call the traffic police, poking a piece of paper without a seal and signatures in the nose, supposedly the response of the traffic police to a request that parking is prohibited here, filming all this on video, posting it on YouTube .. What should they stick in their nose in return?)) I mean, than to answer - what paragraph of the traffic rules? Tell..
Every driver should know, it seems to be undeniable. But very often we see how these rules are violated. Of course, if we are talking about avoiding traffic jams in the oncoming lane, then malicious intent does not raise questions. But much more often, drivers break the law either through carelessness, or because they forgot about the necessary points from the book. Parking and stopping in this sense is the biggest risk group, because the vast majority of violations committed by drivers in the city relate to this aspect of traffic. A vehicle parked incorrectly is not only a headache for the owner. If stopping and parking are prohibited in a particular place, then the car left here will interfere with other road users. This threatens the owner not just with a fine, but with much more serious consequences. For example, an accident if another driver does not respond to his car. Moreover, the insurance company will not be on the side of the victim, because they violated the traffic rules. That is why it is important to know and, more importantly, follow the rules for parking and stopping vehicles.
How to
Both are the cessation of movement. Difference in duration: up to 5 minutes - more than this time interval - already parking. Stop on the right side of the road. If there is a curb suitable for parking, then you are breaking the rules by not driving into it. When there is no roadside, the traffic rules require you to use the carriageway or, if the sign shows it, the sidewalk. Moreover, the roadway means, of course, its edge, and not “leave the car in the middle of the road”, this, of course, is a gross violation. If the road is one-way and there are no tram rails on it, or, for example, the road is single-lane (say, this happens quite often in a settlement outside the city), then a passenger car can be parked on the left side. We remembered the tram tracks for a reason. If you park on the left side, you will block the way for passengers to get on and off. Note that in this case both stopping and parking of vehicles is prohibited. And also note that parking on the left side of the road in the direction of travel is allowed for cars, and even then not always. For trucks weighing more than three and a half tons, even if all the above conditions are met, only unloading and loading is allowed on the left side. Be careful, this is a critical moment! In addition, stopping on the left side in the direction of travel on a single-lane road is only permitted in built-up areas. Outside it, parking and stopping should be only on the right side.
As we have already said, traffic rules involve stopping and parking on the side of the road, if any. And we mentioned in passing that in some cases you can use the sidewalk for this. The corresponding sign with a sign can definitely tell about this. On the sign on a blue background is shown, and under the sign is a schematic representation of the parking method. Based on this icon, you can conclude how to properly stop or park your vehicle. This plate shows a car. Owners of two-wheeled vehicles can park in 2 rows. Therefore, when you see cars parked in the second row, know that their owners consider themselves motorcyclists. Stopping and parking in such a parking zone is carried out according to the marking lines, if there is no scheme under the sign. Perhaps there will be a so-called widening of the roadway, popularly known as a "pocket". If it is, and you did not stop in it, then you violated the traffic rules and the inspector may well call you for an unpleasant conversation.
How wrong
On the carriageway of the roadway, sections and places where the rules prohibit stopping and parking of vehicles are marked in a special way or explicitly listed. It is generally forbidden to stop on tram rails or close to them, so as not to interfere with trams, at railway crossings, in tunnels and overpasses, as well as on the side of the road, if the distance between the edge of your direction of the road and the side of the car is less than three meters. Interfering with the tram or blocking the railway tracks - this does not require explanation, as it seems to us. Yes, and a gap of less than 3 meters for the passage of other cars is also contrary to common sense and a sense of ownership. Also, you can not park at pedestrian crossings and closer than 5 meters to them in both directions. The rules also prohibit parking your vehicle at an intersection and 5 meters from it. And of course, let's not forget about the rule of 30 meters: 15 meters from the stop in both directions, traffic rules prohibit any vehicle from standing. The rules also exclude exits from yards and a lane for cyclists from permitted places.
As for parking, it is prohibited where stopping is also prohibited, which is logical. In addition, outside the settlements on the carriageway of the roadway, marked with the corresponding sign, it is also impossible to leave the car, as well as less than 50 meters from the railway crossing. Please note that the sign prohibiting parking does not prohibit stopping! You, no doubt, have met such signs: on a blue background, 1 or 2 red diagonal stripes. If one - then parking is prohibited, if two crosswise, then, accordingly, a stop. So, if in the coverage area of the sign that prohibits parking, you had to stop for less than 5 minutes, then traffic rules are on your side.
Force Majeure
If you had to make an emergency stop, for example, due to a car malfunction, then you must take some action. They will be primarily aimed at warning other drivers and ensuring their safety if you cannot move your vehicle to a permitted parking space. It is necessary to turn on the “emergency gang”, which should be in every car, and secure the car itself from spontaneous rolling, that is, put on the handbrake or support the wheels if it is faulty. After you complete these steps, you can move away from the car, say, for spare parts or for help. In general, the rules say that you must remove your vehicle from the roadway as soon as possible so as not to interfere with traffic with your presence.
Finally
The parking and stopping rules are simple, there are not so many of them, but they are not observed very often. Everywhere you can see gross and not very violations, motivated by the fact that, they say, my car does not interfere with anyone. It is possible that right now this is true, but the situation on the road may change during the parking. After all, no place forbids stopping for no reason. To avoid unpleasant communication with the traffic police inspector, follow the traffic rules and be careful and attentive.
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, all knowledge of traffic rules disappears somewhere, memory lapses appear. There is simply no other explanation for what is happening on the streets.
Transport funds are parked wherever technical specifications allow 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.
Places where parking is prohibited (parking)
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, on the 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 your driver's license for at least three months, and if the offense is committed again. 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 the left side does not apply, and parking is allowed there.
The territory on which this sign operates ends at the nearest intersection encountered in the direction of travel. But here it should be noted that adjacent 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 carriageway, if the highway passes outside the settlement, and is marked with the sign "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, there are a number of important points to keep in mind..
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
