What does the road sign "No Stopping" mean? What happens if you violate the prescription of this sign? What is the penalty for violation of the mark? Are there any exceptions on the road when the No Stopping Sign is not valid? We have collected detailed information for you about this road sign, which many people confuse with another sign - "No parking".

The road sign "No Stopping" () is a red circle (round frame) with a red X-line drawn on a blue background. What does this sign mean? According to the Traffic Regulations, not only parking of vehicles, but also stopping is prohibited in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sign. That is, you have no right to stop in the zone of this sign, even for a short time.

To begin with, here is a list of fines with the most frequent violations of the rules for stopping and parking vehicles that operate outside Moscow and St. Petersburg (article 12.19 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation):

• - Violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles (violation of the prescription of the signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited"), with the exception of violating the rules for stopping and parking at or near the railway crossing: 500 rubles

• - Violation of the rules for stopping or parking cars in the area of \u200b\u200b\\ u200b \\ u200bthe sign and markings intended for parking cars of disabled people: 5000 rubles

• - Stopping or parking a car at a pedestrian crossing or closer than 5 meters in front of it: 1000 rubles

List of fines for violation of the rules of stopping or parking cars (for Moscow and St. Petersburg)

As we have already said, according to Article 12.19 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation, there are other fines in Moscow and St. Petersburg for violating the rules for stopping and parking cars on the roadway. Unfortunately, fines in federal cities for violation of stopping and parking vehicles are significantly higher than in the whole country. Here is a list of the most common violations in this area:

Violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles (violation of the prescription of the signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited"), with the exception of violating the rules for stopping and parking at or near a railway crossing: 2500 rubles

- Stop at or near a pedestrian crossing (closer than 5 meters in front of it): 3000 rubles

- Stopping or parking a car at a bus stop or closer than 15 meters to it: 3000 rubles

- Stopping and parking the car in the places designated for taxi parking: 3000 rubles

- Stopping or parking the car on tram tracks: 3000 rubles

- Stop or parking in the tunnel: 3000 rubles

- Stopping or parking in places that impede traffic: 3000 rubles

Temporary ban on stopping and parking in certain places

Also, according to current legislation, local authorities have the right to temporarily restrict stopping and parking of vehicles on certain sections of the road (for example, during public events: festivals, rallies, etc.) or for road works. For this, the authorities are obliged to place temporary road signs in such places, strictly observing the current traffic rules. Recall that there are temporary road signs in the traffic rules, which look the same as the main ones, but have a yellow background.

Accordingly, if you violate the prescription (for example, "Stopping is prohibited" or "Parking is prohibited"), you can be held liable to the same extent of liability as provided for violation of the main road signs.

For which vehicles are the signs "No Stop" and "No Parking" valid?

In some cases, the road signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited" do not work for some vehicles. That is, the law makes an exception for a certain category of vehicles.

So, according to the Road Traffic Rules, the action of the sign "Stopping is prohibited" does not apply to the following categories of cars that stop in the zone of action of markings 1.17 and (or) road signs 5.16, 5.17, 5.18:

- Route vehicles

- Taxi cars

With regard to the road sign "No parking", then its effect does not apply to the following category of vehicles:

- Cars driven by disabled people of groups 1 and 2, as well as cars driven by ordinary drivers transporting disabled people of groups 1 and 2 and disabled children

- Taxi cars, in which the taximeter (meter) is included

- Cars of the Russian Post with a white diagonal stripe on a blue background

The area of \u200b\u200baction of the road signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited"

The most questions, of course, are the area of \u200b\u200baction of road signs. First of all, many drivers often confuse how the traffic signs "Stop prohibited" and "Parking prohibited" work. This is used by traffic police officers, who, where inattentive drivers often make mistakes in interpreting the traffic situation. For example, due to the complexity of the interpretation of road signs and markings.

Naturally, like all road signs, the action of the signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited" has its own characteristics that every driver should know about so as not to fly into a fine somewhere on an unfamiliar road. So, here is an exhaustive list of the features of the traffic signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited".

Area of \u200b\u200baction of the sign "Stop prohibited"

• - Road sign "Stopping is prohibited" is valid from the place of stopping to the nearest intersection

• - If a road sign is installed in a settlement and in the absence of intersections on the road, the road sign "Stopping is prohibited" is valid until the end of the settlement

• - The road sign "No stop is prohibited" with an information plate 8.2.2 (indicating the zone of application of a prohibited stop) is valid until the next sign "No stop is prohibited" with an information plate 8.2.3

That is, after information plate 8.2.3, the vehicle is already allowed to stop.

• - Also, according to the traffic rules, the stop prohibition zone, in addition to the "Stopping prohibited" road sign, can be marked with yellow markings 1.4 of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation.

• - The sign "Stop is prohibited" ceases to be effective after the sign "End of all restrictions" (sign 3.31 of the RF SDA)

Area of \u200b\u200bvalidity of the "No parking" sign

• - Road sign "No parking" is valid from the stop to the nearest intersection

• - If a road sign is installed in a settlement and in the absence of intersections on the road, the road sign "No parking" is valid until the end of the settlement

• - The ban on stopping vehicles is valid only on the side of the road from which the road sign is directly installed

• - The road sign "No parking" with an information board 8.2.2 (indicating the zone of the ban on stopping) is valid until the repeated "No parking" sign with an information board 8.2.3

That is, after information plate 8.2.3, parking is already permitted.

• - Also, according to the traffic rules, the stop-stop zone, in addition to the "Parking is prohibited" road sign, can be marked with yellow markings 1.10 of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation.

• - The sign "No parking" ceases to be valid after the sign "End of all restrictions" (sign 3.31 of the RF SDA)

Is it possible to stop under the No Stop Sign and park the car for more than 5 minutes under the No No Parking sign?

In exceptional cases, in accordance with the current legislation, drivers are allowed to deviate from the prescription of the road signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited". For example, if the driver feels unwell, which can pose a risk for both passengers and all road users. Including the Traffic Rules, it is allowed to stop the car under prohibitory signs if the vehicle is out of order and poses a danger to road traffic.

In these cases, the driver must turn on the hazard warning lights before stopping. Also, at the stop where prohibitory signs are in effect, it is necessary to install in order to warn other drivers in advance about the obstacle on the road so that they have time to slow down and change to another lane. Nevertheless, the driver of a car who has stopped in the area of \u200b\u200b\\ u200b \\ u200bthe signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited", as soon as possible, must move the car to that section of the road, which is not covered by the prohibition signs.

Both stopping and parking are deliberate cessation of movement, that is, they are made at that moment and in the place that the driver himself has chosen.

They must be carried out in such a way that, if possible, do not interfere with other road users.

Stop - deliberate stopping of the movement of the vehicle for up to 5 minutes, as well as for more, if it is necessary for the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers or loading or unloading the vehicle.

Parking - deliberate stopping of the movement of the vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers or loading or unloading of the vehicle.

It is important to know!
Any embarkation and disembarkation of passengers or unloading and loading of a vehicle that is carried out without interruption, regardless of its duration, is considered a stop. If boarding, disembarking, loading or unloading is not performed, then a stop longer than five minutes is considered a parking lot.

Unintentional stop of movement

Forced stop - termination of the movement of a vehicle due to its technical malfunction or danger caused by the transported cargo, the condition of the driver (passenger) or the appearance of an obstacle on the road.

A forced stop is always unintentional - it is due to a specific reason that does not allow you to continue moving. The driver cannot choose a suitable time and place for a forced stop - it happens regardless of his desire.

Therefore, the main duty of the driver in the event of a forced stop is to immediately mark his vehicle so that it can be noticed by other drivers from afar, after which, if possible, roll it back or tow it to a safer place.

In addition to a forced stop, which usually implies a prolonged cessation of movement, there are several situations that do not fall under any of the three definitions given.

They do not refer to stopping, parking or forced stopping, and do not require any additional action from the driver.

We are talking about a short-term cessation of movement in the following cases:

• when the traffic light prohibits signal (or when the traffic controller prohibits signal);
• before a pedestrian crossing, an intersection, a tram stop, a railway crossing, etc. - for the passage of people walking across the road or a vehicle taking advantage of the movement;
• when driving in a traffic jam with stops and resumption of movement.

Parking methods

Stopping and parking of vehicles should be carried out on the right side of the road on the side of the road, and in its absence - on the roadway at its edge. It is allowed to park vehicles in one row parallel to the edge of the carriageway.

Two-wheeled motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles are allowed to be parked in two rows.

We have considered the usual parking method, which is allowed for stopping and parking any vehicle in any place, except where parking is prohibited or otherwise required.

Other ways of parking mean:

• parking across the road or at an angle;
• parking with access to the sidewalk;
• parking on the left side of the carriageway.

Stopping or parking at an angle to the edge of the carriageway or across the road is allowed where there is a local widening ("pocket"). In this case, you should park in such a way that the number of traffic lanes and their width do not decrease.

If there is sign 6.4 in such places with one of the plates 8.6: 8.6.1, 8.6.4, 8.6.5, the vehicle should be parked exactly as indicated on the plate, and only cars and motorcycles can be parked across the road.

If you have drawn marking lines showing the boundaries of parking spaces, you must comply with the requirements of these lines.

In the absence of signs and markings, the driver independently chooses the position of his vehicle in the parking lot so that it does not interfere with parking, entry and exit of other vehicles.

Parking on the sidewalk is allowed only for cars, motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles and only in places marked on the sidewalk with markings of parking spaces or sign 6.4 with one of the plates 8.6: 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.6.7, 8.6.8, 8.6 .nine.

In the absence of such signs or markings, parking on the sidewalk, regardless of its width, is prohibited.

It is important to know!
Parking with full or partial (two wheels) driving onto the sidewalk is always prohibited for any buses, tractors and trucks, including those trucks that have a maximum permissible weight of less than 3.5 tons and are classified as category B vehicles.

Stopping and parking on the left side of the road is allowed only in settlements and only if any of the two conditions are met:

• the road has one-way traffic (at the same time, trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons are allowed only loading and unloading);
• a two-way road without tram tracks in the middle has one lane for traffic in each direction. In this case, the driver will have to cross only one oncoming lane to drive to and from the left edge of the carriageway.

Parking for an overnight stay or long-term rest outside settlements is permitted only outside the road or in specially equipped parking areas marked with the signs "Parking" or "Resting place".

Places where stopping is prohibited

It is important to know!
If stopping is prohibited, then parking of vehicles is also prohibited. In places where only parking is prohibited, you can stop.

Stopping is prohibited in the following places:

• in the area of \u200b\u200bvalidity of the sign 3.27 and where along the edge of the carriageway there is a yellow marking 1.4;
• all along the highway 5.1 and "roads for cars" 5.3. The shoulder on such roads is intended only for a forced stop, and parking is allowed on special areas equipped outside the road and marked with signs 6.4 or 7.11;
• on tram tracks, as well as in the immediate vicinity of them, if this interferes with the movement of trams;
• at level crossings 1.1 A crossing zone is the distance between barriers or signs 1.3.1 (1.3.2);
• in tunnels 1.31 and under any bridges, overpasses, overpasses;
• on overpasses, bridges, overpasses, if there are one or two lanes for movement in this direction. If there are three or more passing lanes, both stopping and parking are allowed;
• in places where a parked vehicle will force other road users to take a detour through a solid marking line or along a dividing strip. The width of the free section of the carriageway must be at least 3 m;
• at pedestrian crossings and closer than 5 m in front of them (from the side of approaching vehicles);
• in places with limited visibility (less than 100m in at least one direction) on the carriageway. At the same time, stopping and parking on the side of the road is not prohibited;
• at intersections of carriageways and closer than 5 meters to either side of them. An exception is parking at a T-junction with a solid marking line at a distance of at least 3 m from it, or with a continuous dividing strip. With this configuration of the intersection, it is only possible to drive straight on it, therefore, bypassing the parked vehicle is performed in the same way as on any other section of the road outside the intersection;
• closer than 15 meters in both directions from the place of stopping of route vehicles or parking of passenger taxis. Here, too, there is an exception - a short-term stop is allowed only for embarking and disembarking passengers, if this does not interfere with route vehicles and taxi cars;
• in places where a stopped vehicle will block traffic lights or road signs for other drivers;
• in places where a stopped vehicle will make it impossible to enter and exit or interfere with the movement of pedestrians.

Places where parking is prohibited

Parking is prohibited (and stopping is allowed) in the following places:

• within the coverage area of \u200b\u200bthe signs “No parking” 3.28, “Parking is prohibited on odd 3.29 or even 3.30 days of the month”, “Restricted parking zone” 3.27, as well as in the presence of a yellow marking line 1.10 drawn along the edge of the carriageway;
• outside settlements on the carriageway of roads marked with sign 2.1 Parking is not prohibited if the vehicle fits entirely on the side of such a road and other drivers do not need to go around it;
• closer than 50 meters in both directions from railway crossings. A vehicle parked on either side of the road will obstruct the train's visibility to drivers approaching the crossing. Thus, stopping is prohibited only at the crossing itself, and parking is prohibited at the crossing and at a distance of 50 meters from it.

It is important to know!
The driver can leave his seat or leave the vehicle if he has taken the necessary measures to exclude the spontaneous movement of the vehicle or use it in the absence of the driver.

When leaving his vehicle after stopping, the driver must securely brake it with the parking brake.

When parking on a slope road, you need to turn the front wheels so that when the car tries to roll down, one of the wheels rests on the curb.

If there is no curb, the steering wheel is turned towards the curb. Remember to remove the key from the ignition, close the doors and set the car on the burglar alarm.

Every year the traffic in megalopolises became more intensive, because the number of cars is steadily growing. When purchasing a new car, many do not even think about where they will park it, being sure that it is enough to leave it in the yard.

But this is an extremely important issue not only from the point of view of dissatisfied neighbors, but also from the point of view of the law. We often answer questions from car enthusiasts about how to legally park in the yard and what to avoid to avoid being punished fairly.

○ Parking rules in courtyards.

One should start by defining what this “courtyard territory” is. Immediately, we note that the Rules of the Road give an undesirable clear concept. At the same time, section 17, dedicated to traffic in residential areas, applies to courtyard areas, which is directly stated in paragraph 17.4:

• "The requirements of this section also apply to courtyard areas."

Therefore, it remains only to be content with the general legal definition of the courtyard territory, as a space bounded by buildings along the perimeter, inside which, as a rule, playgrounds, places for recreation, green spaces, local thoroughfares to houses, schools, kindergartens, etc. are located. But there is one a significant difference - it is not indicated by signs 5.21 (residential area) and 5.22 (end of the residential area), and therefore the driver needs to be careful and understand that otherwise all traffic and parking rules apply here in the residential area.

So clause 17.2 of the SDA clearly says:

• "In the residential area, through traffic, training driving, parking with a running engine, as well as parking of trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons outside of specially designated and marked with signs and / or markings are prohibited."

That is, the main and most frequent violation on this point is truck parking and parking with a running engine. The latter is especially important in the cold period for those who like to “warm up the engine”, polluting the environment and interfering with the sleep of residents of adjacent houses.

It is worth paying attention to a few more important points regarding parking, which are relevant in courtyards. Clause 1.2 of the SDA defines a stop and a parking lot, which is very important because clause 17.2 speaks specifically about parking:

• "" Stop "- a deliberate stopping of the movement of a vehicle for a period of up to 5 minutes, as well as for more, if necessary for boarding or disembarking passengers or loading or unloading a vehicle.
  "Parking" - a deliberate stopping of the movement of a vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers or loading or unloading of the vehicle. "

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation has established additional parking bans, which also apply to courtyards. Usually the passages here are narrow, and therefore the parking lot manage to interfere not only with the passage of other cars, but also for ordinary pedestrians and mothers with strollers, let alone technical services. However, part 8 of Art. 20 .4 of the Administrative Code establishes a verticality for violation of fire safety rules. That is, if the abandoned car interferes with the passage of firefighters, one can prepare to pay a fine.

○ Fines for improper parking in the yard.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation also does not define the courtyard territory, but establishes responsibility for violation of traffic rules in a residential area in Art. 12.28 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation

• "1. Violation of the rules established for the movement of vehicles in residential areas, with the exception of the case provided for in part 2 of this article, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred rubles... 2. The violation provided for in part 1 of this article, committed in the city of federal significance Moscow or St. Petersburg, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of three thousand rubles.»

That is, if your car is found by a traffic police inspector, parked in violation of the above rules, you can prepare to pay a fine of 1000 rubles, and in capital cities and all 3000... Exactly the same will be punished for parking on the sidewalk in the yard, because often because of parked cars it is simply impossible to carry a baby carriage.

But the matter may not be limited to this. It must be admitted that the traffic police patrol the courtyards not so often, especially in small towns, but if something happened, the dangerous situation would be more serious. For example, in the event of a fire and the inability of a company car to pass through to a fire, a negligent motorist can apply Part 8 of Art. 20.4 Administrative Code:

• "Violation of fire safety requirements on the provision of passages, driveways and entrances to buildings, structures and structures - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of from one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for officials - from seven thousand to ten thousand rubles; for legal entities - from one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand rubles. "

But this is possible only if the fire inspection records the violation, it will easily impose a fine of up to 2,000 rubles.

The courtyards are often equipped with green spaces, including lawns. Traffic rules or Code of Administrative Offenses do not contain a definition of a lawn or a fine for parking on it. These issues are decided by local authorities, determining the amount of the fine for such violations. In most cities, this amount is fixed, so in St. Petersburg an ordinary car owner will pay from 3000 to 5000 fine. In other regions, such as Samara, they will be forced to pay for the damage to the plantation. In any case, you shouldn't do that.

Another aspect of the problem is through traffic through the residential area. Officially, it is prohibited by clause 17.2 of the SDA. But few of the drivers have ever tried to drive around the traffic jam through the nearest yard. The rules prohibit only through passage, and the movement itself at a speed of 20 km per hour is allowed in Clause 10.2 of the SDA:

• "In settlements, vehicles are allowed to move at a speed of no more than 60 km / h, and in residential areas and in courtyards, no more than 20 km / h."

So you just need to get rid of the concept of "through". It is enough to stop for a few seconds and behold, you are already a respectable driver who has not violated anything. But the stop, of course, must be done taking into account the described rules.

In the absence of the car owner in any of the above cases, the car can be evacuated, especially if it interferes with the travel or the work of cleaning or fire trucks, which means that you will have to pay for your stay at the impound.

In addition, violators are often sure that if they are not caught by a traffic police officer, they will certainly go unpunished, but Part 4 of Art. 28.1 Administrative Code:

• “The reasons for initiating a case on an administrative offense are:
  4. Fixation of an administrative offense in the field of road traffic or an administrative offense in the field of landscaping, provided for by the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, committed using a vehicle or by the owner or other owner of a land plot or other real estate object, operating in automatic mode with special technical means that have functions photographing and filming, video recording, or by means of photographing and filming, video recording. "

Now there are even sites where you can upload photos and videos of evidence of the violation.

That is why the neighbors' threats to complain about the car owner, who warms up the car for half an hour in the morning, are quite real.

While the car is moving along the highway, the driver tries to comply with the rules of the road (SDA), 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, the risk of meeting a traffic police patrol, or the possibility of getting into the field of view of a surveillance camera, may be a deterrent.

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

Transport vehicles 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.

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

It's pretty easy to rid yourself of this - 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 began to be applied in traffic rules. Previously, sign 6.4 was called "Parking lot", now it has been renamed into "Parking lot", the meaning has not changed.

Places where parking is prohibited (parking)

1. Parking is prohibited, wherever the rules of the DD prohibit stopping

Two terms - "stop" and "parking", imply the intentional cessation of movement. But the difference between them is only five minutes.

If after stopping movement, the vehicle did not move, less than five minutes, then this, according to traffic rules, is considered a stop. If this time is 5 minutes or more, then it is called - parking. Thus, initially you should remember where you cannot stop.

Traffic rules prohibit stopping:

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

Fine, for a stop and parking, on a 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 a stop, and, accordingly, parking at the crossing will be 1 thousand rubles... But, in addition to the fine, there is a risk of losing your driver's license for at least three months, and if the offense is committed again. Then the driver threatens to be left without a license for a year.

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

For a violation, the minimum blow to the driver's pocket is RUB 1,500... This is only if the offender did not interfere with other vehicles, otherwise the amount of the fine will increase to 2 thousand rubles. (For St. Petersburg and Moscow - three thousand in both cases).

2. Parking under the “No parking” sign. (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 there is allowed.

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

If the sign is used together with the 1.10 markup (dashed yellow line), then its effect is determined by the length of this markup. The “No parking” sign expires when you enter or leave a settlement.

If a plate (8.2.2.) Is attached under the sign, then the action of the sign is limited to the distance indicated on the plate. Plates 8.2.3 and 8.2.4 also define the coverage area of \u200b\u200bthe sign.

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

The actions of this sign do not apply:

Parking in areas that fall under the action of the signs "Stop is prohibited" and "Parking is prohibited" is punishable by a fine of 1,500 rubles, for Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3 thousand rubles.

3. Parking on the carriageway

On the carriageway, if the road 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. Violators are subject to a fine of 1 thousand rubles, 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, you should remember a number of important points..

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

You can often see parked car right on the lawn... The traffic rules do not prohibit such parking. However, it is an offense to damage lawns, flower beds, trees, etc. The amount of the fine for this is determined by the local authorities. On average in the regions it is 500 rubles.

Parking on the sidewalks is not a rare occurrence either. Sure, there is such a thing as "near sidewalk parking", but such places are marked with a sign, with an explanatory sign, how exactly it is allowed to park vehicles. Unauthorized parking on the sidewalk, in addition to the 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 sidewalk can make things worse.

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

In conclusion, I would like to remind, for those who like to park the vehicle, where parking is prohibited.

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

On the one hand, it may seem that parking problems cannot arise. Knowing how to stop correctly is essential. However, this opinion is erroneous and it is quite possible to run into. For what? For parking in the wrong place, at least. In order not to violate traffic rules, it is important to consider the issue of parking in more detail.

Parking rules: on the roadway, in yards and in the parking lot

Parking rules on the roadway are violated most often. So as not to become one of the offenders, the following provisions should be adhered to:

• it is allowed to stop away from at a distance of 5 meters;
• you can stop right after the pedestrian crossing;
• at the edge of the carriageway (only parallel to the edge);
• no closer than 5 meters from the turn at the intersection;
• near signs that regulate parking by even or odd numbers;
• anywhere on the carriageway if the driver's vision covers at least 100 meters of the road ahead;
• at a distance of 15 meters from stops;
• on the side of the right side (if there is no shoulder, parking is possible at the edge of the carriageway);
• at the edge of the sidewalk, if there is a sign (applies only to cars, mopeds, motorcycles and bicycles).

You can also leave the car for a long time in places outside the settlement, if they are equipped with a corresponding sign. It is forbidden to leave a car on the road for this purpose, as well as on the side of the road. There are special parking lots, equipped separately.

Reverse parking correctly

It is very important to know how to properly reverse park. To do this, first of all, you need to adjust the rear-view mirrors. The main thing is to make sure that the sky is not visible, while the cars and the road are clearly visible.

When it comes to perpendicular parking, it's important to start here. First you need to drive up so that the right corner of your car is in the middle of the car behind which you plan to park. In this case, the distance should remain about 50 centimeters. Now we can gradually align, turning gently. In this case, stops are allowed to assess the real state of affairs in the form of the distance between your car and the one we are trying to bypass.

How do I reverse park when parallel parking? Very easy if you follow the instructions. Correct maneuvering is especially important in the city because parallel parking assumes a neat drive between two cars:

1. we drive between two cars so that the right wheel is as close to the curb as possible, but does not become close to it. In this case, the left corner of your car should approach the right corner behind the standing car.
2. Turn the steering wheel to the right until it stops. Drive up to the vehicle in front.
3. Turn the steering wheel to the left and drive back a little.

If you do not need to park backwards, you should adhere to the following chronology of actions:

• choose a place that will be one and a half meters larger than the width of your car;
• we drive up ahead so that the car is on the same level as the car in front. It is important to take into account that the interval should not be more than 60 centimeters;
• we pass it back until the back of the rear seat is on the same level with the bumper of the car in front;
• turn the steering wheel to the right until the car is at an angle of 45 degrees to the sidewalk;
• we turn the ruble to the left, pass it forward and stop.

Parking rules for the disabled

Every disabled person or a person who is engaged in the transportation of a disabled person of 1 and 2 categories can install a sign "Disabled" on the front or rear window of the car.

The main difference between traffic rules for disabled people regarding parking rules is that a disabled person can ignore such signs:

1. "Movement Prohibition";
2. "The movement of motor vehicles is prohibited."

Also, appropriate markings are made for disabled people and additional signs are installed in places where areas are provided exclusively for privileged parking.

Disabled people can use special parking spaces free of charge, and they must be allocated at least 10% of the total number of spaces in the parking area.

Incorrect parking fines

• For parking on site for disabled people relies a fine of 5,000 rubles.
• For officials others are provided - 3000 - 5000 rubles.
• For legal entities in case of violation of the parking rules, you will have to pay 10 times more - 30,000 - 50,000 rubles.
• If the motorist has parked on tram tracks, the fine will be 1500 rubles.
• 1000 rubles parking will cost closer than 15 meters to a public transport stop. In addition, the car will be evacuated. For Moscow and St. Petersburg, the amount of the fine is increased to 3000 rubles.
• If the driver will stop on the roadthat prevented the passage of other cars, a fine is imposed in the amount of 2000 rubles.
• Parking penalty in the wrong (forbidden) placewill be 1500 rubles. For St. Petersburg and Moscow, the rules are different - the fine will double.

However, knowledge of parking rules does not always protect motorists who want to park where they are comfortable. Convenience often ends up paying fines and evacuating.

It is important to remember the rules for parallel and perpendicular parking. The success of the race between other cars depends on how correctly the motorist starts.

Also, we must not forget about the prohibition to stop on sidewalks, lawns, places for the disabled. In addition, outside the city there are additional restrictions - it is forbidden to drive close to water bodies, stop a car on the side of the road for a long time.
