Road symbol " Bus stop» used to designate a section of a route or a road where it stops public minibus. We will find out how the driver should behave if he saw this sign on the road.
1. Road symbol "Bus stop" is a big responsibility
The road with the road sign "Bus stop", according to the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, must invariably have a two-way execution. This is done in order to ensure that oncoming and passing cars are informed in advance about the stop of passenger transport and can take all security measures. For example, they slowed down, maneuvered according to traffic rules, did not overtake and were attentive on the road.
Traffic rules allow the possibility of using this symbol in conjunction with road markings, which are drawn with a yellowish broken line in a horizontal direction. IN this case it designates the area or place where drivers stop their vehicles route facilities. The "Bus Stop" symbol imposes a huge responsibility on the driver.
According to sections 12 and 8 of the SDA in places where there is a stop transport vehicles, such maneuvers are not allowed: U-turn, stopping and parking, movement in reverse, before and after stopping at a distance of 15 meters. This rule has its own exception, when the driver does not interfere with the movement of vehicles traveling along the route with his vehicle, then he is allowed to stop in the area where the “Bus Stop” symbol is valid for boarding and boarding passengers. In addition, the driver must keep in mind and know that in the area of \u200b\u200bthe inhabited Fri, he must give way route transport.
2. Road symbol "Bus stop" in various situations
Life is not an easy thing and anyone can get into an unpleasant situation. For example, let's imagine such a case on a highway that is subject to a "Bus Stop" sign. The driver thought about something, made a stop, reversed, turned around, or took the direction of main road, because of which he did not give way to a stop by a minibus or bus. Such a maneuver may fall into the field of view of a traffic officer. If there is a bus stop there, but such a formality of the sections is not observed, in the form of a sign or markings, then the driver did not violate traffic rules, which means that administrative sanctions will not be imposed on him.
3. Conversation with the inspector, how to justify that the driver is innocent
The owner of the vehicle on the spot must unobtrusively explain to the traffic officer this event, why he did so in traffic situation. In addition, the driver must on camera mobile phone film or photograph a bus stop that does not have a corresponding sign “Bus stop” or there is no marking - a broken yellowish stripe. After that, it will be easier for the driver to prove his innocence in the courtroom and win the court case.
Even if the “Bus stop” symbol is located, the driver will avoid liability in this case if the sign was closed from view when driving. This often happens in the town - tree branches, a pole or a marketing shield, can partially or completely cover the signs. True, it will be difficult to justify one's innocence, it will be necessary to justify that this pointer is essentially not visible. The rest will be the task of the transport prosecutor's office, where it will be necessary to apply.
Drivers are novice drivers who have successfully passed a theoretical exam on knowledge of the rules traffic(SDA), in practice, experience difficulties in their application. The same problem is often characteristic of drivers with solid experience behind them. After all, the knowledge once gained, how to behave on the road, what you can do and what you can’t, is forgotten over time.
And as a rule, the question “is it possible to park here at all?” doesn't even cross my mind.
Motorists park as if they were driving for the first time. By creating these problems for others, and almost guaranteed to themselves. But the traffic police is on the alert and evacuators have not yet been canceled in the country, they work properly. Therefore, before stopping, it is worth remembering the rules, and then only decide whether it is possible to do this.
Based on the traffic rules, if the driver decided to stop the vehicle and stood for less than 5 minutes, then such a maneuver is called a “stop”.
If the driver stopped moving in order to pick up or drop off passengers or for unloading and unloading, then according to the traffic rules, this is also a stop, but the time of its duration in this case is not regulated.
In other cases, a stop made by the driver will be considered a parking lot!
It follows from this that, where parking is prohibited, unloading the contents of the trunk for a long time, then loading it back at the same speed will not be considered a violation. The list of places where stopping and parking is prohibited is quite impressive, but every driver needs to know it. This will save you money, time and, of course, nerves.
And it is not easy to memorize traffic rules, this will not give anything, but to understand what was said in official language.
Stop prohibited:
- At stops designated for public transport and taxi.
Thus, a bus that is not assigned to a specific route, a driver who does not have documents confirming the legality of the mass transportation of people, cannot be considered public transport. Therefore, all restrictions apply to it, according to the rules of stopping at a public transport stop.
Even if the bus is full of people, but is not a route (watch or service), the driver can stop at bus stops in the same way as regular (non-route) transport.
It follows from the rules of the road that the territory where vehicles are prohibited from stopping includes the stop itself, marked with the sign "public transport stop" and a fifteen-meter section before and the same section after it.
The border, from which 15 meters are counted, is determined by a sign warning that this is a bus (trolleybus) stop or fixed-route taxis. If there is no such sign, the countdown is carried out directly from the applied markings indicating the place of public transport stop.
The fifteen-meter zone is counted in other directions. This means that if the distance to a vehicle parked opposite the bus stop is less than 15 meters, then the driver will face a fine and possible evacuation of the vehicle.
Such a zone is not allocated in order to complicate the life of drivers of ordinary transport. heightened danger. There is constant traffic here. Buses, trolleybuses, taxis drive up and leave. If every driver who wants to stop for some reason parks his car here, it will create problems.
Buses will have to make additional maneuvers to get to the stop. standing car will interfere with people when boarding and disembarking, which may lead to an accident.
Therefore, stopping at a public transport stop is strictly prohibited.
There is one exception when the stop is made in order to disembark passengers or, conversely, to board them. But what is important - while creating interference for both other vehicles and pedestrians, is considered a violation.
- It is also forbidden to stop on tram tracks and in their immediate vicinity if this interferes with the movement of the tram.
You should not pay attention to the “if”, because the tram can appear at any moment, which means that the car standing on the tracks will be an obstacle for it.
Is it possible to park on abandoned tram tracks?
Even if the tram track has long since rusted, it's not worth the risk of stopping. What if, at this very moment, someone decides to put a tram on this line?
- At railway crossings, in tunnels, overpasses, bridges, overpasses, and under them.
But there is an important caveat here. If the road has two lanes going in the same direction, then stopping is allowed without restrictions.
- If the vehicle has made a stop, and at the same time the remaining distance to the opposite edge of the road, or the median strip, or the solid marking line is less than three meters, then such a stop is prohibited. Three meters must remain to ensure an unobstructed detour.
- At the pedestrian crossing, and the five-meter zone, to the markings - "zebras".
Five meters, help to see the entire pedestrian crossing. If there was a car in this zone, then part of the transition would remain invisible, and could lead to tragedy.
You can stop before reaching five meters before the transition.
Except one case. If the intersection is a T-junction, stopping is allowed opposite the exit of the road that is considered adjacent. And then only in the case when the main road is divided by a continuous marking line or a dividing strip separating traffic from different directions from each other.
- On road sections where visibility is limited:
- just before a dangerous turn;
- if the road is uphill, hill, etc., while visibility is limited and does not exceed 100 meters. That is, no moving vehicle is visible rising from the other side of a mountain or hill.
The explanation for the limitation is simple. passing sharp turn, or waddling over the top of a steep hill, the driver does not see the continuation of the road, the car parked around the corner. This could cause a serious accident.
- If the vehicle, with its dimensions (for example, having a body covered with an awning, or a booth) limits the view for other drivers.
The car is blocking traffic lights or road signs.
- If the car blocks the entrance-exit.
Will create a risk of congestion for other road users, or will interfere with the movement of pedestrians.
- In a lane reserved for bicycles.
No parking:
- In places where stopping is prohibited. This is logical, if you can not even stop, then there is no question of parking.
- On the carriageway, outside the settlements, if the road is "Main", marked with the appropriate sign. On such roads, parking is allowed only on the side of the road.
- 3. Closer than 50 meters from railway crossings. The distance of 50 meters to the crossing is indicated by appropriate signs.
In addition to the above points, parking is prohibited in places where signs prohibiting stopping, parking or just parking are installed.
The main thing to remember is that if the restrictions of signs are not explained by signs, then the effect of the sign is preserved until the first intersection. If there are no intersections on the way, then the ban remains until the end of the settlement.
It is also important not to forget that if the road sign is on right side road, then it acts exactly on the right, when on the left, then, respectively, on the left. That is, if the road has one-way traffic, and the sign “Parking is prohibited” is installed on the right side, then on left side roads, this restriction does not apply.
The traffic rules also explain
Where and how is it allowed to park vehicles
What types of transport are allowed such parking, and the way it is located, is explained by signs located under the “Parking” sign. Outside the settlement, parking is allowed only in specially equipped areas. If there are none, then you can stop for parking only outside the road.
Forced stop in prohibited places
A stop is considered forced if:
- happened technical breakdown a vehicle capable of endangering the life of the driver or passengers, and will also pose a potential danger to other vehicles;
- an obstacle on the road carries a potential danger;
- transported goods may cause the creation of dangerous situation;
- the driver or passengers have health problems.
In the event of a forced stop, where it is prohibited, the driver must take all possible measures to remove the vehicle from there. It should be noted that during a stop, traffic rules prohibit opening car doors if this may interfere with other road users.
And, the main rule of parking is “The driver, leaving his place, is obliged to take all necessary measures to ensure that his vehicle does not spontaneously roll away, as well as to ensure its safety.
In conclusion, I would like to remind you that fines for violations of the rules of stopping and parking can range from 500 to 5000 rubles. And often the offender's vehicle is sent by a tow truck to the impound lot.

Public transport stop sign - People's Card Club
Good afternoon.
The question seems to be sorted out and simple, prescribed in the rules, but this is the case when the rules sometimes contradict reality. The rules, paragraph 14.1.2.1.1, stipulate that the stop sign is placed on the stop pavilion or, if it is not there, at the beginning of the stop area. I understand (and I see it with my own eyes when I come to St. Petersburg) that in Russia a stop sign is usually attached to pavilions, or on a pole if there is no pavilion. In Latvia, which I edit, the situation is different. There is a state standard that does not coincide with the Russian one and contradicts the rules of the People's Map. You can, of course, put a sign on the pavilion, but why? Latvia is not Russia. In Latvia, stop signs are NOT ON PAVILIONS. In Latvia, traffic stop signs are placed on separate poles. Upstairs sign, the state standard or the standard of a particular city government, are very different; at eye level there is a sign or many signs with an exact minute-by-minute schedule for all occasions, as a rule, for weekdays and weekends, which is observed with an accuracy of plus or minus two minutes. Not far from these pillars is a waiting pavilion, if there is one. In a modern picture of Riga, for example, all the poles with stop signs are very clearly visible, and I know most of them well in person. Should we follow the rules written under the conditions of Russia in this respect? I consistently place the signs on the pillars (I have already placed everything, in Riga and Liepaja). There was a conversation with the moderator about this, so far he listened to my arguments. As far as I know, a similar picture is observed in other countries. Is it worth making a clarification to the paragraph of the rules concerning individual countries?

Places where stopping is prohibited
The list of places where parking and stopping is prohibited is incredibly long. Below we will consider the basic rules and restrictions on behavior on the road, which are worth remembering during traffic. 
In order not to get into unpleasant situations and not face fines for improper parking, you should carefully study the rules for stopping and parking in the designated areas.
Where is it forbidden to stop?
Stopping is prohibited in the middle of the main road, which is located outside the settlement. You can stop the car for disembarking passengers or parking only on the side of the road or in the places designated for this (parking lots and parking lots).
In special places where stopping is prohibited for additional regulation of traffic. These places have special signs and signs.
Also, stopping is unacceptable near railway tracks and crossings. The minimum distance from the car to the railway crossing is 50 meters.
Places where stopping is prohibited are equipped with special signs indicating the zone and the effect of restrictions. The same function is handled by road markings.
If there are no signs or markings on the road, the following restrictions apply by default:
- Stopping on tram tracks and railroad tracks is strictly prohibited. If the car at the same time also blocks the passage of the tram, the owner vehicle waiting for a responsibility much more serious than a fine for parking in a non-designated place. It is considered an offense not only to drive directly onto the rails, but also to park near the tracks, which interferes with the free movement of the tram.
Even tram rails trams are abandoned, or there are no trams nearby - stopping on them is still punishable, so for safety reasons, you should stay away from them.
- Tunnels, overpasses, overpasses, bridges - parking or stopping a vehicle is prohibited at the facilities railway; on railway crossings or near them; in tunnels and under overpasses. The main difficulty of parking on bridges, flyovers and overpasses is that they are very difficult to identify. It is worth remembering the main differences: the overpass is located above the highway; bridges over waterways and overpasses are located over railway tracks.
Stopping at these objects is prohibited only if the road markings on them are limited to one or two lines. If there are more than three lines on the road, parking and stopping is allowed.
- Stopping prohibited on pedestrian crossings. At pedestrian crossings or in front of them, stopping closer than 5 meters is prohibited. However, stopping is allowed immediately after the pedestrian crossing. Therefore, if you see a crossing in front of you, always go around it, and then look for a place to park. But if you are driving on the left side of a two-lane road, this rule does not apply. You need to drive 5 meters from the transition, or stop in front of it.
The main rule of parking near a pedestrian crossing is not to hide pedestrians from the drivers of other cars with your transport and not to block their path.
There are special places marked with signs for taxi parking. Parking in such places is also prohibited.
There is one permission that allows you to miss this rule: the driver can release passengers at public transport stops, but only if the car does not create problems on the roadway and does not block the approach of passengers to the shuttle car.
- Signs and traffic lights. It is forbidden to block a traffic light and road signs by a car. Since traffic lights and road signs are placed high above ground level, this ban is more likely to affect drivers. trucks and big buses.
However, there are times when a car obscures the visibility of other road users. Often, temporary signs and signs placed below the usual ones are not visible.
It is also forbidden to create difficulties for the passage of passengers, block the visibility of passengers and drivers, block the space for arrivals and departures of other cars.
- Stop in the cyclist lane. At the stops for cyclists there are special signs announcing the prohibition of parking a car. Also, you can not stop directly on the lane of cyclists, block their path or complicate the movement.
In case of violation of one of these rules, a fine is imposed on the driver, and the car itself is removed from the road with the help of a tow truck.
- No parking sign. In those places where such a sign is installed, stopping and parking of vehicles is prohibited. The parking ban does not apply to public transport. Parking or stopping is prohibited only on the side on which the sign is installed.
The action of the sign "stop is prohibited" applies to the road section from the immediate place where the sign was installed and to the nearest intersection on the way. If there are no intersections ahead of this sign, then parking restrictions apply within the boundaries of the settlement.
A sign may be installed next to the sign indicating the duration of the sign in meters from established mark. Outside the sign "End of the zone of all restrictions", the ban is automatically canceled.
Sometimes a no parking sign is accompanied by a yellow marking line.
In such a case, the parking ban applies along that line. markup yellow color can be applied both on the road and on the curb.
Penalties for incorrect stopping and parking
Fines for violation of parking and stopping rules are the most common in Russia. More than half of the owners vehicles at least once in a lifetime faced with this phenomenon.
The amount of the fine depends on the place and time of the stop. Can be distinguished different types fines.
Lawn parking
The amount of the fine for parking on a lawn or next to public parks, squares or boulevards depends on the locality, the cultural and social significance of the object, as well as the place and time of parking.
The larger the settlement and the closer the green spaces to its center, the higher the amount of payment.
Also, when calculating the amount, the law on the protection and protection of green spaces and environment.
- Citizens pay from 1000 to 5000 rubles;
- Representatives of the authorities are punishable by a fine in the amount of 10,000 to 50,000 rubles;
- Representatives of organizations and enterprises rally amounts that vary between 30,000-100,000 rubles.
Separate fees may be charged for the destruction of green spaces and environmental pollution.
When establishing the amount, reference is made to the administrative code:
- Citizens pay from 500 to 1000 rubles;
- Representatives of the authorities are punishable by a fine in the amount of 2,000 to 3,000 rubles;
- Representatives of organizations and enterprises rally amounts that vary between 8,000-10,000 rubles.
Parking in places reserved for the disabled
This violation is administrative. The amount of the fine in this case is 5000 rubles. The vehicle is removed from the parking lot by a tow truck.
Sidewalk entry
This type of violation is less serious than the others. The amount of the fine is insignificant - only 1,000 rubles, so many drivers often ignore this ban and drive onto the sidewalk if all parking spaces are occupied.
The fine is set in case of parking on the sidewalk and stopping less than five meters from the pedestrian crossing.
The amount of the fine in Moscow and St. Petersburg is three times more - 3,000 rubles. In this case, the car is evacuated from the parking lot.
In addition, fines are waived for the following violations:
- For parking on tram rails the amount of the fine - 1500 rubles;
- For a stop in an area less than 15 meters from the parking lot, the amount of the fine is 1000 rubles. In Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3000 rubles;
- For stopping the car on the roadway - 2000 rubles. The car is towed;
- Behind wrong parking and parking in places not designated for this - a fine of 1000 rubles.
Ways to park cars
There are many ways to park vehicles, which should be chosen based on the size of the car and the situation in the parking lot.
Here are the most common ones:
This type of parking has two varieties:
- Parking the car in reverse - is used if you can drive in from the left side.
- If the car drives in from the right, it parks in front.
While parking the car in this way, it is not parallel to the road, so it is convenient and safe. This is useful when parking spaces are limited and space is limited.
Like corner parking, parallel parking has two types:
- Forward is the most common option, in which the car is parked in the same line with other cars. It is important to park, taking into account the fact that when leaving you will need to back out, so take care of the space between the cars;
- Reversing is a more complex parking option, which is used in case of limited space.
Such parking is carried out in several stages:
- The car slows down and looks for free place for parking;
- Reverse movement begins along the car parking line at a distance of 60-70 cm from them;
- Taxiing to the right until the car comes close to the curb;
- Leveling the vehicle by steering to the left. There must be equal free space in front of and behind the vehicle.
- Perpendicular parking.
This type of parking is convenient for transporting a car in parking lots at the entrance to supermarkets, shopping centers, airports and train stations. Runs forward or backward.
If there are no cars nearby, it is more convenient to use the forward gear. If the neighboring places are occupied by cars, you need to park in reverse. It is also better to drive in reverse if the cars in the parking line are overall.
This will make it easier to get out of the parking lot.
The rules above will help you choose right places parking and not face such unpleasant situations as imposition of fines, problems with leaving the parking lot and lack of free parking spaces.

Stopping at a bus stop - who is allowed?
It is not uncommon to see how car drivers stop at a bus stop.
Sometimes it lasts a minute or two, but sometimes the car can stand for a long time, interfering with the approaching public transport.
Does the driver have the right to perform such actions, and what can it threaten? Is stopping at a bus stop allowed? Consider what the traffic rules say.
The SDA states that stopping at bus, trolleybus stops and taxi stops is prohibited. This applies to both the "pocket" for bus stops, and the entire zone 15 meters long before the pocket, and 15 - after. Prohibited places are marked with signs and road markings, familiar to every motorist.
The specified 15 meters includes the distance from the road sign. If one is not installed, it is necessary to follow the markings. Sometimes the no-go zone is limited to a pocket for public transport.
Violation of traffic rules when stopping at a public transport stop
If the width of the carriageway is less than 15 meters, then the stopping area includes the roadside gap across the road from the stop.
Knowing that traffic rules clearly prohibit stopping at stops, many drivers still continue to violate the ban, wondering when they receive a penalty for this.
Can I stop at a bus stop?
Can I stop at a public transport stop and can I drop off passengers at a bus stop?
However, there is a nuance that makes it possible to stop in a prohibited place. This is indicated in clause 12.4 of the SDA.
It states that stopping is allowed for no more than 5 minutes if:
- it is necessary to disembark or embark a passenger;
- load or unload cargo.
At the same time, the car should not interfere with the movement of public transport.
Exceptions can be added emergency braking caused by a malfunction of the car, an accident that occurred in the area of the stop, the danger of the load or the driver's poor health.
In all these cases, it is required to repair the damage as soon as possible by installing a sign emergency stop. Release her as soon as possible.
All other situations are not exceptions and are subject to punishment.
It is important to remember about the signs: if the sign 3.27 is installed and / or solid markings are applied, it is impossible to park under any circumstances.
Parking before bus stop sign
To a public transport stop sign or road stop you can stop.
The question is - where? Usually there is a "two-way" distance ban.
That is, 15 meters must remain before the sign, where parking and stopping are prohibited. This is done so that other drivers can see the sign in a timely manner and react to it correctly.
Stopping within 15 meters of the sign is allowed only for the same reasons as in the stopping area. In all other situations, a fine is imposed for violation.
It is necessary to distinguish between the concepts of "stop" and "parking". The first concept implies the short duration of the action, its duration does not exceed five minutes. Parking is a longer event, exceeding 5 minutes.
Who is allowed
The traffic rules indicate cases in which a stop at a public transport stop can last more than 5 minutes. This can happen in the following cases:
- For the performance of public utilities and road maintenance services.
- For unloading vehicles delivering goods to trade facilities and enterprises located at bus stops, if there are no other ways to access unloading.
In all cases, traffic safety must be the first priority.
Collectors and other federal services that are on duty can stop at stops. official duties.
How many meters
Within the stipulated traffic rules of 15 meters stop legally, ambulances, firefighters, emergency services. And only on condition that they are in execution. At the same time, if possible, they should not interfere with passing traffic.
They can get up anywhere in the territory. Both before the pocket and after it. And, if necessary, in the pocket itself.
Rough traffic violation
Is it possible to cancel the fine for stopping at a public transport stop?
For stopping at a bus stop in 2017, in accordance with Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for fines. Their size depends on the situation.
- No interference with public transport. According to paragraph 3.1 of this article, stopping at public transport stops entails a fine in the amount of 1000 rubles.
- Interfering with public transport. If parking personal car at a public transport stop interferes with the movement of buses, trams, fixed-route taxis, etc., the fine will be 2,000 rubles. The driver of the vehicle is absent, the evacuation of the vehicle is permissible.
If a violation of clause 12.4 of the traffic rules occurred in a city of federal significance, the fine will be a large amount. In St. Petersburg and in the capital, it is 3 thousand rubles.
In order to challenge an already issued fine or prove the incompetence of its collection to a traffic police officer, you need to know the rules of the road perfectly.
If the stop was made for the purpose of disembarking / boarding passengers or unloading / unloading cargo, it is necessary to ensure that it does not exceed the legally allowed 5 minutes.
In addition, the car should not interfere with public transport.
If you had to stay longer or the stop was made not for the purpose of disembarking passengers, the traffic police inspector has the right to apply sanctions.
A fine can be issued not only at a personal meeting with the inspector, but also if the offense was filmed by stationary fixing devices (photo or video). If the offender agrees with the fine, 60 days are provided for payment. The countdown of the term begins from the moment of delivery of a copy of the decision on the offense.
If the fine is not paid after 2 months, the amount may be doubled or mandatory penal works are assigned. You can check the presence of fines and the amount on them on the website of the traffic police - this saves time and saves you from additional punishment.
If you do not recognize the offense, you can try to challenge it within 10 days after the decision is made. If the deadline is missed for a good reason, you can apply for its restoration.
Sufficient evidence of innocence must be collected before initiating the process. First of all, you need to take photos of the stopping place from several angles. If there are prohibition signs, they should be clearly visible. If they are hidden by trees, billboards, or other obstacles, this should be reflected in the photographs.
If there are witnesses who can confirm innocence, their details should be indicated in the application. In addition, it is worth carefully studying the protocol: its design does not allow violations.
In addition, you can try to prove to the court that the stop at the bus stop was caused by a car breakdown.
If the stop was caused by a sharp deterioration in the health of the driver, but the inspector issues a fine, you should call ambulance. Then a certificate from a medical institution can be attached to the complaint.
The complaint should be accompanied by photographs, a copy of the decision, data from the video recorder, and testimonies.
In order to avoid fines for stopping at a bus stop, it is best not to stop at it at all. Only by observing the traffic rules to the smallest comma, you can avoid problems with the traffic police.
No comments yet
All motorists know that U-turns, stops and parking are prohibited at the stops of route vehicles, but sometimes questions arise with the designation of this place and how exactly to determine the boundaries of the prohibition of stopping. Let's take a look at all below possible ways designations of stops of route vehicles.
MTS stops are marked with road signs 5.16 “Bus and (or) trolleybus stop”, 5.17 “Tram stop” and (or) road markings 1.17. and (or) road markings 1.17. Please note that the markup does not duplicate the sign and can be used independently.
MTS stop designation only with a sign
8.11. U-turn is prohibited:
at the stops of route vehicles.
12.4. Stopping is prohibited:
closer than 15 meters from the stops of route vehicles or parking of passenger taxis, marked with marking 1.17, and in its absence - from the indicator of the stop point of route vehicles or parking of passenger taxis (except for a stop for boarding and disembarking passengers, if this does not interfere with the movement of route vehicles vehicles or vehicles used as passenger taxis);
Please note that the MTS stop begins after the sign. According to GOST, the sign 5.16 is set at the beginning of the landing area, that is, the stopped shuttle vehicle will be completely after the sign. So it is excluded that the bus will close the visibility of the sign. This is important when making a turn. Before the sign, a U-turn is not prohibited. A U-turn is prohibited only at MTS stopping places - from the extreme right lane and into the extreme right lane.
If the stopping place of route vehicles is indicated only by a sign, then the zone of prohibition of stopping and parking is determined by 15 meters before and after the sign in the direction of movement for which the sign is installed. Stopping on the opposite side of the road is not prohibited.
MTS stop designation with a sign and markings
If marking 1.17 is present in the designation of the MTS stopping place, then no controversial issues arise. When turning around, it is forbidden to drive into this marking, and to stop and park, you should retreat 15 meters on both sides in the direction of travel.
Unmarked MTS stops
The above requirements of the Rules of the Road apply only to designated stops of fixed-route vehicles and passenger taxis. If the stopping place is not marked with the appropriate sign and/or markings, the U-turn and stopping in such places is not prohibited.
Experimental marking of the tram stop
When organizing the movement of the tram with the disembarkation of passengers on carriageway for experimental purposes, markings were applied in some places to the right of the tram tracks along the left edge of the carriageway.
This use of markup is for informational purposes only. Stopping at such a place is prohibited by general rules, and a U-turn without leaving the tram tracks at the tram stop will not work, that is, the marking does not affect the formation of a violation.
This concludes the article. Thank you for your interest.

Road sign Bus stop used to mark the section highway or routes where a public minibus stops. Let's figure out how to behave as a driver who saw this sign on the road.
Road sign "Bus stop place" - a big responsibility
Basically, the traffic rules of the Russian Federation require that the road sign "Bus stop" in without fail was double sided. This is done on purpose so that passing and oncoming cars are informed in advance about the stop of passenger transport and take security measures. For example, they slowed down, did not overtake, were extremely careful on the road, made.
The rules of the road allow the use of this sign in conjunction with road markings, a yellow broken line drawn in a horizontal direction. In this case, it designates the place or section where route vehicles stop. A public transport stop road sign imposes a significant responsibility on the driver.
According to sections 8 and 12 of the SDA, in places where transport vehicles stop, the following maneuvers are strictly not allowed: reversing, turning around and parking or stopping at a distance of 15 m, both before and after stopping. True, the last rule has an exception: if the driver does not interfere with the route vehicle, then he is allowed to stop in the area of the “Bus Stop” sign for disembarking or boarding passengers. In addition, the driver must know and remember that in the territory of settlements he is obliged to give way to route transport.
Road sign "Bus stop" - life situations
Life is an unpredictable thing, and anyone can get into an unpleasant situation. For example, let's imagine a case on a section of a highway subject to a "Bus Stop" sign. The driver made a stop, a U-turn or reverse movement, or thought about something and took his direction for, and as a result did not give way to a bus or minibus stop. And so, this maneuver came to the attention of a traffic officer.
A significant chance for a driver who has committed an offense to get rid of a fine is the actual absence of a corresponding sign or the absence road markings.
In other words, there is a stop of shuttle cars here, but the inherent formality of such sections in the form of markings or signs is not observed. In this case, the driver has not legally violated traffic rules, which means that no administrative sanctions can be imposed on him.
Are you and your car ready for the coming winter? Modern gadgets will help to comfortably survive the winter:Even desired sign is present, the driver can avoid liability if the sign is somehow obscured from view. This often happens in the city: a billboard, a pole or tree branches can completely or partially block signs. True, it will not be so easy to prove one's innocence - it will still be necessary to prove that the pointer is really not visible. And this is the task of the transport prosecutor's office, where you should apply.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the sixteenth article of the series "Signs of the road" the following signs of special requirements will be considered:
Bus and/or trolley bus stop.
- Tram stop.
- Parking lot for taxis.
- Crosswalk.
- Artificial unevenness.
We will talk about the features of the installation of these signs, as well as violations associated with them.
In addition, according to paragraph 18.3 of the SDA in settlements Drivers must give way to public transport that starts from a designated stop. For this violation, the driver will receive a warning or an administrative fine of 500 rubles.
A few more prohibitions related to stopping public transport: a U-turn (clause 8.11 of the SDA) and reversing (clause 8.12 of the SDA) are prohibited there. The fine for these violations is provided for by Part 2 of Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles.
Tram stop sign
The road sign "Tram stop place" is installed on the road in the following cases:
- To the right of the carriageway, if the tram tracks pass in the middle of the road.
- To the right of the carriageway on a one-way road if the tram tracks are located to the left of the road.
In addition, a duplicate sign is installed either at the beginning of a raised above carriageway landing area, or above the left lane of a given direction (on roads with 2 or more lanes for movement in a given direction).
Please note that the sign "Tram stop place" is installed on the roads in order to help the driver comply with the requirements of paragraph 14.6 of the rules:
14.6. The driver must give way to pedestrians walking towards or away from the shuttle vehicle standing at the stopping place (from the side of the doors), if boarding and disembarking are carried out from the carriageway or from the landing site located on it.
For violation of this paragraph of the rules, the driver will receive a fine of 1,500 rubles.
Taxi parking sign
The road sign "Parking place for passenger taxis" is used to indicate the corresponding parking lots:
Since passenger taxis do not have an advantage over other road users, it is not possible to violate the requirements of this sign.
Pedestrian crossing sign
Road pedestrian crossing sign used to mark the boundaries of a pedestrian crossing, in the absence of appropriate markings on the road:
Note that there are 2 different signs pedestrian crossing (5.19.1 - on it the pedestrian goes to the left side, and 5.19.2 - on it the pedestrian goes to the right side). The first sign is installed on the right side of the road, and the second, respectively, on the left. In this case (in the absence of road markings), signs are used to indicate the boundaries of a pedestrian crossing.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that in practice the pedestrian crossing signs are different sides roads are sometimes set strictly opposite each other, i.е. it turns out that the beginning of the transition coincides with its end. Naturally, a pedestrian cannot move through such a structure without violating the rules, and in some cases this can be used to your advantage.
Of the features of the installation of this sign, it should be noted that on roads with a dividing strip pedestrian crossing signs installed on each of the carriageways separately. Those. one sign on each side of each carriageway.
Let me remind you that pedestrian crossing zone determined by the following features:
- Markup, if any.
- According to the signs 5.19.1 (beginning) and 5.19.2 (end), if there is no marking.
Currently, pedestrians have priority when crossing the road at unregulated crossings. If the driver does not let the pedestrian pass in time, he will receive a fine of 1,500 rubles.
In addition, U-turns (clause 8.11 of the SDA) and reversing (clause 8.12 of the SDA) are prohibited at pedestrian crossings. The fine for these violations is provided for by Part 2 of Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and amounts to 500 rubles.
