Priority signs are a special category of traffic rules signs that inform traffic participants about the order of crossing intersections, all kinds of roadways or sections of road, the width of which allows only one car to pass. Priority signs have their own specific images, which should be remembered and be able to distinguish from each other. Thus, the category of priority signs includes signs that will notify drivers about the junction of a secondary road, that they cannot cross the intersection without stopping, and about the priority of certain drivers moving towards each other.

Sign 2.6 - The right of way for oncoming traffic is established immediately in front of the very section of the road on which they operate. Knowledge and compliance with traffic rules priority signs is mandatory for every road user, since ignorance of the designation of a particular sign can lead to various types of accidents and the formation of large congestions on a section of the road.

When studying priority signs, you should use various materials that will illustrate the situation in which these signs will work, as this will help you remember them faster, because priority signs, unlike other traffic rules signs, do not have a common range and theme and are maximally different from each other. from each other, making them one of the most difficult categories to learn.

When you have to resort to oncoming traffic

There are many situations when you have to resort to oncoming traffic; they can be provoked by:

  • narrow arches and passages in courtyards;
  • crossing with another car at an intersection when the desire of its driver and yours coincided to turn left;
  • repair or obstruction on one of the lanes;
  • ascents and descents;
  • cars parked on both sides;
  • accident on the road.

It’s up to you to decide how to behave at intersections when you intend to turn in one direction: you can pass with the right sides of the car: by turning left, without matching, or with the left, so that the cars turn after they have caught up. If the intersection has a dividing strip, it is worth passing on the left side so that none of the cars ends up in the oncoming lane.

It is more difficult to pass in a closed area adjacent to houses, since there is no clear guidance for this and there is no control, as on the roadway. Meanwhile, the situation is not simple: in a narrow area, cars are trying to maneuver, and there is a lot of interference around, and someone has to reverse. In order to safely miss an oncoming car, the one whose path will be shorter must give way in the yard. You can make a preliminary agreement with the driver coming towards you if you are not a very confident motorist.

Car meeting

If cars are driving along the road, and something is discovered on one side that forces the driver to turn into someone else’s lane, then it is he who must yield - the one who is avoiding the obstacle.

When overtaking, and everyone knows this, the overtaking person must let oncoming cars pass. But there are difficult situations when you become the victim of an irresponsible driver who decides to break the rules and rushes towards you. In this case, you need to do everything possible to avoid a head-on collision - it is better to pull over to the side of the road or deviate from the lane and allow it to hit the sides of your car. Under no circumstances should you overtake other cars in a tunnel or in an area marked with a “No Overtaking” sign (a circle with a red outline and a white background on which a black and a red car are drawn). If you are driving behind a truck that is blocking your view, then look at its turn signals: drivers of large vehicles usually use them to signal those behind them. The left turn signal on warns you of the danger of colliding with another car if you enter its lane, and the right one indicates a favorable moment for maneuver.

Repairs started on the road, or the scene of an accident fenced off by the police, can either obey the general rule of avoiding obstacles (the person passing gives way) or overtaking, or be regulated by temporary signs or manually by the police. Be careful: temporary signs (with a yellow background) take precedence over permanent ones, so follow them.

When going up and down, the one going down gives way, as he has a better view of what is happening on the road. The angle formed on the slope and the degree of its danger are reflected in warning signs: they are made in the form of triangles with a white background and a red outline, which depict a slide or descent, as well as the percentage of the slope. If there are no signs, then this rule does not apply - this place is not considered an ascent/descent.

Meeting on the road

On historically narrow roads there are usually special signs explaining who must yield to whom. We'll look at them below.

Fine for failure to provide priority to special transport

In this part of the article we are talking about vehicles that have special light (flashing lights) and sound signals turned on.

Let's consider parts 1 and 2 of Article 12.17 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

1. Failure to provide priority in movement to a route vehicle, as well as to a vehicle with a blue flashing light and a special sound signal turned on at the same time –

entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

2. Failure to provide priority in movement to a vehicle that has special color schemes, inscriptions and designations applied to the outer surfaces, with a blue flashing light and a special sound signal turned on at the same time –

shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of three thousand to five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of three months to one year.

Please note that the amount of punishment for the driver depends on which vehicle he did not give way to:

  • if we are talking about a civilian car with a blue flashing light and a sound signal, then the driver will receive a warning or 500 rubles ;
  • if we are talking about a company car with color schemes (ambulance, police, rescuers), which has a blue flashing light and a sound signal, then the punishment for the driver will be more serious - 3,000 - 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3-12 months.

In addition, a fine of 500 rubles may be imposed for failure to provide priority to a route vehicle. For example, leaving a stop.

Penalty for failure to provide priority to a vehicle in other cases

Let's consider part 3 of article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

3. Failure to comply with the requirement of the Traffic Rules to give way to a vehicle enjoying the priority right of movement, with the exception of cases provided for in Part 2 of Article 12.13 and Article 12.17 of this Code, –

entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

A fine of 500 rubles (or a warning) is imposed on the driver in all cases when it is necessary to give way outside the intersection. For example:

  • When leaving the adjacent territory for vehicles on the road.
  • When making a U-turn outside an intersection, oncoming and passing vehicles.
  • When changing lanes, cars moving without changing direction.

What should you not do when driving oncoming traffic at speed?

Everyone is different, and their reactions to emergency situations are also different. Unfortunately, not everyone is able to adequately respond to road force majeure and get out of a difficult road situation without consequences.

In this section I would like to draw attention to the most common mistakes made by drivers faced with the need to pass oncoming traffic.

  1. Let us remind you that under no circumstances should you press the gas pedal to the floor. This may make the vehicle uncontrollable. And even if the car doesn’t skid, stopping it completely is dangerous. You should be able to move the vehicle away from a direct impact rather than waiting for the oncoming driver to act.
  2. You can't throw the steering wheel. Some drivers automatically drop the steering wheel and put their hands forward for ephemeral protection from impact. Unfortunately, this behavior is caused by human reflexes. You can fight it only through maximum concentration and composure while driving. It is very important to overcome this reflex. After all, by throwing the steering wheel, you deprive yourself of the opportunity to correct the current traffic situation.
  3. Sharp turns of the steering wheel. Do not turn the steering wheel sharply. Especially if the crossing occurs at high speed. This is fraught with excessive maneuvering, when the car does not just turn right, but flies into a ditch or into the oncoming lane.
  4. You should not try to jump out of the car while it is moving. Such stunt tricks save someone's life only in films. In reality, such courage, on the contrary, can cost the life of the driver. Jumping out of a car at speed, a person not only suffers from a powerful blow to the ground, but can also fall under the wheels of an oncoming or passing car. If you've found a place you can jump to to stay safe, why not just drive your car there?
  5. You can't close your eyes. Closed eyes and a cry are another “hello” from human instincts. But you also need to fight them while driving. You must not lose control of the situation for a second. After all, if driving occurs at high speeds, every fraction of a second is important.

In any situation, remain calm and sane and may luck smile on you.

Sign 2.6 obliges the driver to give oncoming vehicles the right to pass first on a narrow section of the road, except in cases in which you do not interfere with the passage of this section (for example, if you are passing a motorcycle without a side trailer).

Installed:

In narrow places on the roadway where it is difficult for vehicles to pass. For example, on bridges.
