8. TRAFFIC REGULATION
8.1. Adjustment traffic carried out with the help of road signs, road markings, road equipment, traffic lights, as well as traffic controllers.
8.2. Road signs can be permanent, temporary and with variable information. Temporary road signs are placed on portable devices, road equipment or fixed on a board with a background yellow color and take precedence over permanent road signs and road markings.
8.3. The signals of the traffic controller take precedence over traffic signals and the requirements of road signs of priority and are mandatory.
Traffic lights other than flashing yellow have priority over road signs.
Drivers and pedestrians must comply Additional requirements traffic controller, even if they contradict traffic signals, road signs and markings.
8.4. Road signs ( addition 1) are divided into groups:
a) warning signs. Inform drivers about the approach to a dangerous section of the road and the nature of the danger. While driving on this section, it is necessary to take measures for safe passage;
b) signs of priority. Establish the order of passage of intersections, intersections of carriageways or narrow sections of the road;
c) forbidden signs. Introduce or cancel certain restrictions on movement;
d) signs. Show mandatory directions of movement or allow certain categories of participants to move on the carriageway or its individual sections, as well as introduce or cancel some restrictions;
y) information and indication signs. Enter or cancel a certain mode of movement, as well as inform road users about the location settlements, different objects, territories where they operate special rules;
e) service marks. Inform road users about the location of service facilities;
e) plates for road signs. Clarify or limit the effect of the signs with which they are installed.
8.5. road markings ( addition 2) is divided into horizontal and vertical and is used alone or together with road signs, the requirements of which it emphasizes or clarifies.
8.5.1. Horizontal road markings establish a certain mode and order of movement. Applied to carriageway or along the top of the border in the form of lines, arrows, inscriptions, symbols, etc. paint or other materials of the appropriate color in accordance with paragraph 1 section 34 these Rules.
8.5.2. Vertical markings in the form of white and black stripes on road structures and elements of road equipment designed for visual orientation.
8.6. Road equipment is used as an auxiliary means of traffic control.
It includes:
a) fencing and light signaling equipment in places of construction, reconstruction and repair of roads;
b) warning light round bollards, which are installed on dividing strips or islands of safety;
c) guide posts, which are designed to provide visibility of the outer edge of the shoulders and dangerous obstacles in conditions insufficient visibility. Designated vertical markings and must be equipped with reflectors: right side- red color left side- white;
d) convex mirrors to increase visibility for drivers Vehicle who pass intersections or other dangerous place with insufficient visibility;
d) road barriers on bridges, overpasses, overpasses, embankments and other hazardous areas roads;
e) pedestrian barriers in places dangerous for crossing the carriageway;
f) marking road inserts to improve the visual orientation of drivers on the roadway;
g) devices for forced reduction of vehicle speed;
g) noise strips to increase the attention of road users on dangerous sections of roads.
8.7. Traffic lights ( addition 3) are designed to regulate the movement of vehicles and pedestrians, have light signals of green, yellow, red and moon-white colors, which are located vertically or horizontally. Traffic signals can be marked with a solid or contour arrow (arrows), with a silhouette of a pedestrian, X-like.
At the level of the red signal of a traffic light with a vertical arrangement of signals, a plate can be installed white color with a green arrow on it.
8.7.1. In traffic lights with a vertical arrangement of signals
red signal - from above, green - from below, and with horizontal: red - on the left side, green - on the right side.
Traffic lights with a vertical arrangement of signals may have one or two additional sections with signals in the form of a green arrow (arrows), which are located at the level of the green signal.
8.7.3. Traffic lights have the following meanings:
a) green permits movement;
b) green in the form of an arrow (arrows) on a black background allows movement in the indicated direction (directions). The signal in the form of a green arrow (arrows) in additional section traffic light.
A signal in the form of an arrow, which allows turning on the left side, also allows a U-turn, if it is not prohibited by road signs.
The signal in the form of a green arrow (arrows) in the additional (additional) section, included together with a green traffic light, informs the driver that he has an advantage in the direction (directions) indicated by the arrow (arrows) over vehicles that move from other directions;
c) flashing green allows movement, but informs that a signal will soon be turned on that prohibits movement.
To inform drivers about the time (in seconds) left until the end of the green signal, digital displays can be used;
d) a black contour arrow (arrows) printed on the main green signal informs drivers about the presence of an additional section of the traffic light and indicates other permitted directions of movement than the signal of the additional section;
yy) yellow prohibits movement and warns of the next change in signals;
e) a yellow flashing signal or two yellow flashing signals allow traffic and inform about the presence of a dangerous unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing;
f) a red signal, including a flashing one, or two red flashing signals prohibit movement.
A green arrow on a plate installed at the level of a red traffic light with a vertical arrangement of signals allows movement in the marked direction when the red traffic light is on, provided that other participants are given an advantage in traffic;
A signal in the form of a green arrow (arrows) in the additional (additional) section, together with a yellow or red traffic light signal, informs the driver that traffic is allowed in the indicated direction, provided that vehicles moving from other directions are allowed to pass unhindered;
ee) the combination of red and yellow signals prohibits movement and informs about the next turning on of the green signal;
g) black contour arrows on the red and yellow signals do not change the meaning of these signals and inform about the permitted directions of movement with a green signal;
h) the disabled signal of the additional section prohibits movement in the direction indicated by its arrow (arrows).
8.7.4. To regulate the movement of vehicles on streets, roads or lanes of the carriageway, the direction of movement on which can be reversed, reversible traffic lights with a red X-like signal and a green signal in the form of an arrow pointing down are used
These signals prohibit or permit movement in the lane over which they are located.
The main signals of a reversing traffic light can be supplemented by a yellow signal in the form of an arrow tilted diagonally down to the right
The inclusion of which prohibits movement along the lane marked on both sides of the road markings 1.9
(cm. addition 2), and informs about a change in the signal of the reversing traffic light and the need to change lanes on the right side.
When the signals of the reversing traffic light, which is located above the lane marked on both sides with road markings 1.9, are turned off, entry to this lane is prohibited.
8.7.5. To regulate the movement of trams
traffic lights with four moon-white signals arranged in the form of the letter "T" may be used.
Movement is allowed only if the lower signal and one or more upper ones are turned on at the same time, of which the left one allows movement on the left side, the middle one - straight ahead, the right one - on the right side. If only three upper signals are on, movement is prohibited.
In case of disconnection or malfunction of tram traffic lights, tram drivers must be guided by the requirements of traffic lights with red, yellow and green light signals.
To regulate traffic at railway crossings, traffic lights with two red signals or one moon-white and two red signals are used, which have the following meanings:
a) flashing red signals prohibit the movement of vehicles through the crossing;
b) a flashing moon-white signal indicates that the alarm is working and does not prohibit the movement of vehicles.
At railway crossings, simultaneously with a prohibited traffic signal, an audible signal can be turned on, which additionally informs road users about the prohibition of movement through the crossing.
If the traffic light signal looks like a silhouette of a pedestrian, its effect applies only to pedestrians, while the green signal allows movement, the red one prohibits.
For blind pedestrians, an audible signal can be turned on, which allows pedestrians to move.
8.8. Regulator signals. The signals of the traffic controller are the position of his body, as well as hand gestures, including with a rod or a disk with a red reflector, which have the following meanings:
a) arms extended to the sides, lowered or the right arm is bent in front of the chest:
on the left and right side - trams are allowed to move straight, non-rail vehicles - straight and on the right side; pedestrians are allowed to cross the carriageway behind the back and in front of the traffic controller's chest;
from the side of the chest and back - the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited;
b) the right hand is extended forward:
on the left side - tram traffic is allowed on the left side, non-rail vehicles - in all directions; pedestrians are allowed to cross the carriageway behind the back of the traffic controller;
from the side of the chest - all vehicles are allowed to drive only on the right side;
on the right side and back - the movement of all vehicles is prohibited; pedestrians are allowed to cross the carriageway behind the back of the traffic controller;
c) hand raised up:
the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited in all directions.
The wand is used only by employees of the departments of the State traffic inspectorate and the military inspection of road safety.
To attract the attention of road users, a signal represented by a whistle is used.
The traffic controller may give other signals understandable to drivers and pedestrians.
8.9. The request to stop the vehicle is submitted by a police officer:
a) with a rod or hand that points to this vehicle;
b) using included flashing beacon blue and red or only red and (or) a special sound signal;
c) using a loudspeaker (loudspeaker);
d) with the help of a special board, which indicates the requirement to stop the vehicle.
The driver must stop the vehicle at the place indicated to him, in compliance with the stopping rules.
8.10. In the case of a traffic light (except for reverse
) or by a signal controller that prohibits traffic, drivers must stop in front of road markings 1.12 (stop line) (see addition 2), road sign 5.62 "Place of stopping"
(cm. addition 1), if there are none - no closer than 10 m to the nearest rail in front of railway crossing, in front of a traffic light, pedestrian crossing, and if they are absent in all other cases - in front of the intersection carriageway without obstructing the movement of pedestrians.
8.11. Drivers who, in the event of inclusion yellow signal or raising the hands of the traffic controller cannot stop the vehicle in the place provided for in paragraph 8.10 of these Rules without resorting to emergency braking, it is allowed to move on, provided that traffic safety is ensured.
8.12. It is forbidden to arbitrarily install, remove, damage or close road signs, technical means traffic organizations (interfere with their work), place posters, billboards, advertising media and install devices that can be mistaken for signs and other traffic control devices or can impair their visibility or effectiveness, dazzle road users, distract their attention and jeopardize road safety.

Warning signals driver
The warning signals that the driver can use play an important role in ensuring traffic safety, in increasing bandwidth roads and intersections. Signals warn drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians about starting, stopping, maneuvering, allowing them to understand the intentions of drivers and respond appropriately to them.
The driver uses the sound signal to warn pedestrians and drivers of other vehicles about their approach, about the start of overtaking, and in other cases when it is necessary to attract someone's attention. Sound signals in built-up areas are prohibited. But, as an exception, in order to prevent a traffic accident, the sound signal is allowed by the Rules. However, not all drivers take advantage of this exemption and as a result run over pedestrians. They take the Rules literally and consider this exception as a last resort and do not use it. But in vain. Experience shows that in large settlements in a number of cases, especially to warn pedestrians, an audible signal is simply necessary. At the same time, a long, loud signal is absolutely not needed, short “peeps” are enough. The main thing is to submit it in a timely manner.
An analysis of accidents shows that a lot of collisions occurred only because the driver did not give a sound signal to an imprudent pedestrian, did not warn him against a hasty exit to the roadway.
-
Outside built-up areas, the sound signal is not prohibited. But here, too, they must be used skillfully. A signal given unexpectedly and while driving with high speed, may frighten pedestrians, and they may lose control of themselves in confusion. An unexpected signal is especially dangerous for cyclists, children, and animals. A frightened horse may throw itself under a car.
Warning signals by turn signal lights - very effective remedy in ensuring traffic safety. They warn road users about the intentions of drivers to make a maneuver, stop or start moving, which is very important.
The rules require that these signals be given at all times and always in advance, before the start of the maneuver. Unfortunately, on the roads you can often find situations where drivers simply ignore these requirements or use direction indicators incorrectly. The most gross mistake of drivers is to perform a maneuver without giving a warning signal. Here is a typical example.
Rice. 1. The driver of the car changed lanes for a left turn, turning on the direction indicator only after stopping to let oncoming vehicles pass
On a road with heavy traffic with two lanes in this direction, the driver of car 1 (Fig. 1) moved to the left lane in advance and stopped in front of the intersection to let vehicles moving in the opposite direction pass. Only after stopping did he turn on the left direction indicator and it became clear to those around him that he intended to turn left. Car 2 following it at a short distance (and others behind it) was also forced to stop. To continue moving, they must now move to the first lane, which can only be done by letting all the vehicles moving in this lane pass. In this situation, especially impatient drivers from the second row will begin to squeeze into the first row, not expecting a break in the traffic flow and thereby creating an emergency. This is what the execution of the maneuver without giving a warning signal leads to. After all, the drivers of car 2 and other cars who followed car 1 did not even suspect that he intended to make a left turn. If they had seen in advance the left turn signal on car 1, they would have moved into the first row in advance and calmly continued to move.
Another common mistake is to turn on the direction indicator at the same time as the start of the maneuver. Such a signal mere formality; no one needs it anymore, because it is already clear that the driver has begun to turn or change lanes. The signal should warn about the upcoming maneuver, which means that it must be activated in advance. How long before the start of the maneuver? It depends on the situation, traffic intensity, width of the carriageway, speed of movement and a number of other factors. At low speeds and narrow roads it turns on approximately 80-100 m before the maneuver or stop, at multi-lane roads in the stream of vehicles - earlier, for example, to rebuild from the third or fourth row to the first in 200-300 meters, or even more.
Many drivers are convinced by their own experience how dangerous misuse turn signal lights. There are many drivers on the roads who turn it on only when they start to turn steering wheel. It seems that they have it connected to the steering wheel and works automatically (like a brake light).
The movement of vehicles on the roads would be much easier and safer if the turn signal was turned on by all drivers in advance. But you can not turn on the signal too early. So, for example, when approaching closely located intersections, the signal should turn on only immediately before the intersection where the turn is made. Here is a sad example. The driver of car 1, moving along the main road, turned on the right turn indicator in advance and intends to turn into passage B (Fig. 15). The driver of car 2, seeing the right turn indicator on car 1, realized that he would turn into passage A, and continued to move through unregulated intersection V forward direction without slowing down. At the same time, the driver of car 1, having the advantage of priority movement, did not slow down either. A collision occurred, one of the causes of which can be considered incorrect use of a turn signal light, although the main cause of the collision was the driver of car 2, who drove into main road, not missing the car moving along it 1.
Rice. 2. The driver of car 1 turned on the right turn indicator before passage A, but intends to turn into passage B; car 2 is moving forward
The rules require that the signal be turned off immediately after the completion of the maneuver (changing lanes, turning). Driving with the turn signal on is misleading to drivers of other vehicles and pedestrians and often leads to emergency. So, for example, there was a collision with a pedestrian. The driver of car 1 with the left turn indicator on was moving through the intersection in the forward direction. The pedestrian, seeing the direction indicator on the car, decided that the car would turn into passage L, and began to slowly cross passage B directly in front of the car (Fig. 3). The driver did not have time to react to the pedestrian's unexpected exit onto the roadway and hit him.
Rice. 3. The driver of car 1 did not turn off the left turn indicator, but is moving in a straight direction and collides with a pedestrian (P - pedestrian)
With non-working light direction indicators, warning signals for a maneuver can be given by hand (Fig. 4). The order of their filing is the same as the light direction indicators.
External lighting fixtures are used to identify your car, to prevent collision with pedestrians and when overtaking. Pay attention to turn-on time parking lights during the day. They are very much needed already with the onset of twilight. Visibility at dusk is very deceptive. And in the morning you should not rush to turn them off before sunrise. The incomprehensible "savings" of some drivers on lighting devices, as a rule, do not lead to good. Marking your car so that both pedestrians and drivers of other vehicles can see it well means to some extent protect yourself from an accident. Of course, you need to designate your car like this not only at night, but always in conditions of insufficient visibility: when driving in fog, in rain, snowfall, in dust, smoke.
Rice. 4. Warning signals given by the driver by hand
When overtaking at night, to warn the person being overtaken, frequent switching of the dipped beam to the high beam and vice versa is carried out.
A stop signal can also be considered a warning. It turns on automatically when the service brake pedal is pressed and warns drivers of vehicles following behind that braking is taking place. 1 Driving with a faulty brake light is one of the most common causes collision with the vehicle in front. Unfortunately, on some models of our cars("Volga" GAZ -21 and GAZ -24, "Moskvich-412", etc.), where the VK-12 switch is installed, the brake light does not work reliably. Therefore, when following these machines, you must be extremely careful.
Each driver is obliged to control the serviceability of the brake light of his car. To prevent a collision, it is important to warn those behind you in advance of your intention to stop or slow down. Experienced drivers if it is necessary to brake (even if insignificant), they transfer their foot to the service brake pedal and lightly press it with a force sufficient only to light up the brake light. Keep your foot on the pedal until you no longer need to brake.
emergency light signaling included in the cases provided for by the Rules. It should be noted that some drivers include it in motion in order to ensure unimpeded travel. You can't do that. You can also not turn it on when driving in tunnels.
The erroneous actions of road users caused by incorrect giving, misunderstanding and incorrect interpretation of the given signals are common. cause of the accident.
Warning signals serve to exchange information (communication) between road users. Information exchange is aimed at reducing the uncertainty of road traffic situations by informing other road users about their intentions and intended actions, as well as warning about possible danger.
In order for warning signals to achieve their purpose, i.e. would allow all participants to move with maximum safety, they must be served in such a way that they are clearly visible, noticed in time and correctly understood by other participants in the movement.
The following types of information are of greatest importance to road users:
1) on changing the direction and speed of movement;
2) the presence of other participants whose actions may create danger;
3) warning about possible dangers.
Warning other road users about a change in direction is necessary so that they can prepare in advance and correctly respond to your maneuvers. It is necessary to give turn signals at any change in direction of movement: when changing lanes, turning and turning, leaving or exiting the motorway, starting to move, leaving traffic flow to stop. Turning on your turn signal should become a habit and be done in all driving conditions, even when there are no other road users nearby.
Turn on the turn signal as early as possible, at least 3-4 seconds before the start of the maneuver.
If you are about to turn at an intersection that has another intersection in close proximity, do not turn on your turn signal until you have passed the first intersection. If you give the signal early, other road users may decide that you will turn not at the second, but at the first intersection and take actions that are dangerous in this situation, for example, completing the overtake.
After you have turned or changed lanes, be sure to turn off your turn signal. Remember that with very smooth turn the automatic shutdown may not work.
Information about the change in speed is necessary for drivers moving behind, as it allows you to prepare in advance for braking and increase the distance.
If you are going to stop or brake in a place where other drivers might not expect it, lightly depress and release the brake pedal three to four times. Such a warning is especially useful when you slow down:
to turn off a motorway that does not have a deceleration lane;
to stop and turn into the yard, this is especially important if you are turning at the intersection, as the driver following you may decide that you will turn at the intersection;
to avoid an object in the road ahead that the driver behind you may not see.
Ensuring your visibility to other road users is an important task for every driver. If at least one of the participants traffic situation does not see another, the probability of an accident increases dramatically. Use headlights to improve visibility. In rain, fog or snow, it can be very difficult for other drivers to see your vehicle. On cloudy days, the car can somehow "dissolve" against the background of the road. In such conditions, the included headlights make it more visible. Turn on your headlights as soon as it begins to get dark, and also whenever it is difficult for you to see other road users due to the deterioration of atmospheric conditions.
To attract the attention of other road users in case of danger or complication of the situation, you can use a sound signal. If there is no immediate danger, then a light tap on the signal button is enough. Give such a signal in advance in the following cases:
when you approach a pedestrian or cyclist moving on the roadway in the same direction;
when you overtake a vehicle whose driver may start to overtake the vehicle in front of him. At night, a warning signal can be given by flashing headlights;
approaching a vehicle whose driver is not looking at you or cannot see you due to the nature of the traffic situation;
when approaching a place where you cannot see ahead, such as on a hill or a sharp bend.

9.12. The flashing red light emitted by the lamp, which is used in accordance with the requirements of paragraphs 9.10 and 9.11 of these Rules, must be clearly visible both during the day in sunny weather and in conditions of poor visibility.
Warning signals that are used by drivers in road traffic are turn and brake light signals, hand signals, and sound signals.
A clear and safe interaction of drivers on the roads is possible only if there is good mutual information, which makes it possible to know in advance about the maneuver or stop of the other road user. To do this, all mechanical vehicles are equipped with a special light signaling - turn and brake signals.
Relevant turn signals should be turned on by the driver in advance when starting to move after stopping the Lokolo sidewalk (on the side of the road), before changing from one lane of the road to another, turning at the intersection to the adjacent street or when making a U-turn. It should be noted that if, after stopping at the right edge of the road, the driver turns on the left turn signal before starting to move, then when leaving after stopping on the left side of the road, which, for example, is allowed on one-way roads, the driver turns on the right turn signal (Fig. 1).
Brake signals warning about sharp decline: car speeds are known to be applied automatically. But the brake light turns on when the driver presses the brake pedal. In order to warn the driver behind in advance of the intention to stop in the right extreme lane, even if the stop is made without changing lanes, the driver must give a right turn signal before braking. This makes it possible for the driver driving behind to prepare in time for a detour of a stopping car.
Warning signals must be given in advance in accordance with the "Rules of the Road". In urban conditions, it is sufficient to advance the beginning of the signal in relation to the beginning of the maneuver, equal to 4-5 s. On extra-urban roads, where speeds are higher, the signal should be given even earlier. On vehicles that do not have light turn indicators or if they are malfunctioning, the driver must give a hand signal (Fig. 2). Any warning signal must be stopped immediately after the completion of the maneuver, so as not to overload the attention of other drivers with unnecessary signals.
When driving in organized column(for example, in a convoy of buses transporting children to a pioneer camp), each vehicle must have dipped headlights on. This allows all drivers and traffic controllers to identify the column and, if possible, give it the right to move freely.
Sound signal in populated areas, the driver can only use it in case of emergency, i.e. if there is a threat of a traffic accident. Although outside the settlements filing sound signals is not prohibited, .they should be used only when clearly necessary, bearing in mind that giving any warning signal (light, sound, hand) does not give the driver the right of way.
