Sign 8.5.1 - Saturdays, Sundays and holidays

Description in traffic rules

It is considered in all driving schools. However, some of them spend very little time explaining it, since it rarely occurs in real conditions. Because of this, students do not remember it, and problems arise later.

Road signs should not be underestimated, as they are all important - even those that carry additional information. They are especially necessary in large cities, where the roads consist of several lanes and there is always a huge flow of cars moving along them. Thanks to the signs, the organization of traffic becomes more clear.

“Working days”, to be more precise, in essence is not a sign, but an information plate. It is rectangular, and on its white background there are 2 intersecting hammers. Its meaning is as follows: the action applies only on working days of citizens, that is, from Monday to Friday, with the exception of holidays.

What important issues are associated with the use of this sign?

1. Installation is carried out only in conjunction with any sign and indicates that it is valid only on weekdays. It is not found anywhere on its own. For example, in a parking lot or along the road, there is a sign “Parking prohibited”, and under it the designation “Working days”. This means that stopping or parking your car here is prohibited only during this period.
2. “Working days” does not apply to holidays customary in Russia, as well as to weekends. Thus, the plate carries additional information. This means that she clarifies the meaning of another sign. Such designations are not set individually. Even though they are additional, their security function is still significant.

Is it allowed to drive in the lane with sign 8.5.2 on holidays?

Clarifying sign 8.5.2 - Working days.

If there is a sign 5.14. (“dedicated lane for fixed-route vehicles”) and there is no clarifying sign 8.5.2 nearby, you cannot drive in the public transport lane on weekdays at all. On holidays - possible, on Sundays too, if Sunday is a non-working day (due to the postponement of weekends).

One more nuance. Now, in many places, clarifying signs 8.5.2 have been removed, which means that you cannot drive along the public transport lane at all. Moreover, some bus lanes are designed in such a way that it is physically impossible to get on them, and, as you know, for crossing a solid line there is a fine of 5 thousand rubles.

What are working days according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Let's open the article article of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation at number 111. Weekends - www consultant ru

It shows that Sunday is considered a general day off. As for Saturday, it is written that it can be made a day off if this is stipulated in the collective labor agreement, then these days off follow one after another - Saturday + Sunday. Thus, Saturday is not a day off and you cannot drive in the lane where the clarifying sign 8.5.2 hangs. But before it was possible.

Accordingly, a holiday is a day off, not a working day, therefore, with sign 5.14 and clarifying sign 8.5.2, movement on the dedicated lane is allowed.

The “dedicated lane” is indicated by a bus with an arrow and is numbered 5.14.

It is worth mentioning separately about the period of action of the clarifying sign 8.5.2. If with sign 5.14. There is no clarifying sign indicating the time during which the first sign is valid, but the duration of the sign is during the day. And the day begins at 00:01 and ends at 23:59, or to be more precise, from 00:00 to 00:00. Clarifying signs have designations. 8.5.4 - indicates the time of day during which the sign is valid.

8.5.5 - 8.5.7 - indicate the days of the week and time of day during which the sign is valid. Working days: Monday to Saturday. Accordingly, if a lonely sign 8.5.2 hangs, it means from 00:00 Sunday to 23:59 of the same day, or on a holiday, for example from January 1 to 8, in a dedicated lane for public transport (or where this sign hangs sign), you can drive. Later - no.

If you go on January 9 at 00:02, the camera will record a violation and you will receive a fine.

A lot of people make the mistake of driving in the public transport lane on Saturday, late at night, and then get fined.

Clarifying sign 8.5.2 can be located with other signs, for example with sign 3.20 (3.20 Overtaking is prohibited), then, accordingly, both of these signs are valid simultaneously.

Duration of action

So, on what days the sign is valid is now clear. However, over what distance does its action extend?

In fact, it's simple.

Since the sign is always located together with any sign, it means that they will operate at the same distance.

For example, there is a “No overtaking” sign nearby. Its duration will be from 00:00 on Monday until Friday, when the arrows will show 23:59.

Generally speaking, “No Overtaking” is canceled:

• after the end of the zone of all restrictions or only overtaking.
• the nearest intersection,
• the designation “Beginning of a settlement” or its end, but only on a white background.

The latter option is extremely rare, since this sign is almost never installed on the highway. Its need in such an area is minimal due to minimal traffic congestion.

Therefore, specifically for the road sign in question, there is no predetermined zone in which it is valid. It is formed based on which sign is next to it.

Basic moments

Drivers are warned that parking of vehicles in this area is prohibited by a continuous line of markings along the roadway and special prohibitory signs:

• No parking;
• parking is prohibited on odd dates;
• Parking is prohibited on even dates.

The “No Parking” sign is a blue circle with a red border, diagonally crossed out by a red stripe.

In the area covered by such a sign, only parking is prohibited, but not stopping. Signs prohibiting parking on certain days are supplemented with vertical white stripes.

One such strip means parking is prohibited on odd days of the month, and two stripes prohibit parking on even dates.

Signs can be used either independently or in combination with information signs that provide drivers with additional information:

• about forced evacuation of illegally parked cars;
• about the extent of the sign’s coverage area, if it differs from the usual one;
• about the end of the ban.

Required terms

A parking ban on odd days means that you cannot park a car on a given side of the street on odd days of any month - 1, 3, 5,...29, 31.

And vice versa, you can leave 2, 4, etc. You can stop on this side any day.

Parking on even days is prohibited means that you cannot park in the sign’s coverage area on any even day of the month - 2, 4, 6 ... 28, 30.

On all other days, parking under this sign will be completely legal. Stopping is always permitted.

Rotation time is a daily period lasting from 19:00 to 21:00 when parking is permitted on any side of the street.

But this concept applies only on those streets where both signs prohibiting parking on certain days are installed at the same time.

Odd and even dates start at 21:00. That is, the effect of the “Parking prohibited on even days” sign begins at 21:00 on the 1st, 3rd, 5th, etc. of each month.

With odd dates, everything is exactly the opposite - they start at 21:00 on the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. of the month.

What do they mean

Signs 3.29 and 3.30 prohibit drivers from leaving their vehicles in their area on certain dates.

In this case, parking means stopping the movement of a vehicle for more than 5 minutes.

The engine can be turned on while the driver is inside. An exception is made only for postal vehicles, taxis and disabled people.

In addition to the temporary criterion, parking is also determined by the absence of actions related to loading or unloading various objects, as well as boarding or disembarking passengers.

These signs do not prohibit stopping to perform such manipulations. Forced parking caused by a vehicle malfunction will not be a violation.

But the driver must put up an emergency stop sign and turn on the hazard warning lights.

What regulations governs

Signs 3.29 and 3.30 are given in Appendix 1 of the Rules of the Road in the section “Prohibition Signs”.

Traffic rules regulate the main aspects of the use of such signs:

Responsibility for failure to comply with the prohibition established by such a sign is provided for by the Code of Administrative Violations.

Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses establishes a fine of 1,500 rubles for such a violation. If the instructions of the sign are ignored in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the fine will double and amount to 3,000 rubles.

A car parked contrary to the rules may be forcibly towed on the basis of Art. 27.13 Code of Administrative Offences.

What to do if you are working within the range of the sign

Situations with this sign are different, as it is often used. It happens that a sign is installed on the road to your place of work, or in the parking lot. What to do then? How long does it last and how?

1. “No traffic” and “Working days”. Under such conditions, a sign prohibiting further movement will be in effect for all vehicles on weekdays. However, people who work in this place can drive through at any time, including on weekends, but provided that it is a working day for the person.
2. “Entry prohibited” and “Working days”. Under such conditions, the movement will be organized as well. It is prohibited to enter a certain area on weekdays, that is, it is allowed only on Saturday and Sunday, as well as on official holidays.

This restriction does not apply to people who work in the area covered by these signs.
They can go there on any days, if for them these are work days. Also, the restriction does not apply to route vehicles. The sign is also found in other situations, but they do not apply to the entrance to the place of work. As for its effect when approaching a place of work, it is worth noting that the restriction does not apply to people who work there. Consequently, the fine is provided under such conditions only for persons who do not work or live in such places.

Sign “Parking is prohibited”, the effect of the sign, parking under the sign and a fine for it

If the driver stopped the vehicle in a prohibited place, marked with the corresponding sign 3.27 in accordance with the traffic rules, then if the fact of parking is detected by traffic police officers, punishment will follow immediately.

Then the size of the fine will depend on how much you exceeded the speed limit from 10 to 20 km/h inclusive, you will receive a warning or a fine of 100 rubles, from 21 to 40 km/h - a fine of 300 rubles, from 41 to 60 km/h h - then you will have to pay from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

If the car is located within the scope of the “Stopping Prohibited” sign, drivers should not forget that parking in this area, of course, also falls under the ban.

Failure to stop at a stop sign is not considered a serious traffic violation. A small amount of a fine rarely interests traffic police inspectors, so fraud is discussed in rare cases. Although there are still times when drivers are faced with such unlawful actions.

“No Stopping” sign: fine – how much will you have to pay for an offense and is it possible to avoid the fine? Stopping, and especially parking, is strictly prohibited for all other drivers, and if the ban is violated, they will have to pay a fine in accordance with legal norms. If the car does not belong to special transport or cars of disabled people, then it is strictly forbidden to even stop.

Other cases provided by law. This includes all situations in which a stopped car can interfere with other road users: close traffic lights, installed signs, limit the ability to drive at dangerous turns or at road intersections. The violator may be warned or fined 500 rubles.

The span of the road that is less than 5 m from the pedestrian crossing, as well as the sidewalk.

According to the rules, the effect of the “No Stopping” sign applies only to the side of the road on which it is installed.

The fact is that in Russia, federal cities have their own fines. In this way, the authorities are trying to improve the road situation in large Russian cities. We are talking about Moscow and St. Petersburg, where increased administrative fines apply for violating the rules of stopping and parking cars. An unpleasant surprise for such a violator will be the discovery of a tow truck at the site of his car. The unit will load the motorist’s property onto its platform for its further transportation to the penalty area.

Is Saturday a day off? In relation to traffic rules...

The information board says: “Parking is paid except on weekends and holidays.” Tell me, is Saturday a day off in this case? Thank you in advance.

A comment

If we consider this issue from the point of view of labor legislation, then Saturday is not a day off, since the only general day off in our country, according to Part 2 of Article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, is Sunday. But from the point of view of the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation, everything is somewhat different, and now I will explain why. Section 8 of the traffic rules “Additional information signs (plates)” contains clause 8.5.1 “Saturdays, Sundays and holidays” (visually looks like a red snowflake on a white background), and this plate indicates the days of the week on which this or that sign is valid. Based on the name of the sign, Sunday as a general day off during which the sign is or is not valid (in your case, the requirement of sign 8.8 – “Paid services” to sign 6.4 – “Parking (parking space”) is not valid) is also equivalent and Saturday. It should be noted that simply a written instruction on the information board is legally illiterate. According to the Rules, under the sign 6.4 in the parking lot - “Parking (parking space)" two signs should be placed - 8.8 - “Paid services” and 8.5.2 - “Working days.” And it would immediately become clear that parking fees are charged only on weekdays.
