Where stopping and parking is prohibited

As for stopping on bridges, overpasses and overpasses, it is prohibited only if only 1 or 2 lanes are provided for traffic in a given direction. In other cases (3 or more lanes in a given direction), stopping on bridges, overpasses and overpasses is permitted.

For example, on two-lane roads it is prohibited to stop even on the opposite side of the road, because the distance turns out to be less than 15 meters. Naturally, on the same side of the road where the public transport stop is located, stopping is prohibited both before and after the stop (unlike, for example, the pedestrian crossing, which was discussed a little earlier).

Area of ​​operation of the “Stopping and parking prohibited” sign

Regarding 3.27. and 3.28. (hereinafter also referred to as ZZOIS - signs prohibiting stopping and parking) the same rules are established regarding the areas of their operation and the possibility of installing clarifying signs (information signs) limiting the territory of operation.

If a motorist sees a ZZOIS, he should remember that in the general case (in the absence of additional information signs) these signs are valid until the nearest intersection. After passing through the intersection of roadways, it is already possible to stop (stand) (if the ZZOIS is not installed again).

If after the ZZOIS there are simply no intersections, then the area of ​​their functioning extends:

• or to the beginning of the settlement indicated by 5.23.1.;
• or until its end (5.24.1.).

Also, all previously imposed restrictions on stopping (parking) are removed by sign 3.31., which is made in the shape of a circle with a white main color, inside of which there are 5 thin black lines (see picture).

How does the Taxi Rank sign work?

Sign 5.18 looks like this: in a blue rectangle there is a white square with a black symbolic image of a car and the inscription “taxi”. This sign applies to parking spaces located within 15 meters of it. Only taxi drivers who have the appropriate license and have taxi identification marks installed on their vehicles can use this parking area. Other drivers who use a parking space located within the coverage area of ​​sign 5.18 will be fined.

Typically, these signs are installed in places where passengers gather: near airports or train stations, near crowded shopping malls, at the ends of metro lines, and so on. However, in any other place, sign 5.18 will have full force.

Additional information signs

An additional sign may be placed just below the ZZOIS. The latter will somehow limit the action of the main pointer.

Basically, the following information signs are used:

1. 1. 8.2.2. – indicates the distance over which 3.27 applies. or 3.28. For example, a motorist saw 3.27. or 3.28. along with this sign. This means that stopping (parking) will be allowed not after the nearest intersection (beginning, ending of a populated area), but after the distance indicated on this sign in meters, calculated from the location of the main sign.
   

   In the case presented in the picture below, the driver will violate the rules if he stands on the right side of the roadway (that is, stops driving for more than 5 minutes) without driving the specified 50 meters from the installation site 3.28.

2. 2. 8.2.3. – means the end of the territory covered by the ZZOIS. See the picture - if the motorist saw a repeated sign 3.27 along the way. or 3.28. together with a sign with an arrow down, this will mean that the ZZOIS coverage area has ended. That is, after the repeated sign, you can stop and/or stand.

3. 3. 8.2.4. – indicates the presence of a motorist, with or without compulsory motor liability insurance, in the zone of operation of the ZZOIS.

It is very simple to understand the meaning of this sign - after seeing it, the driver simply must remember that the territory of operation of the ZZOIS has not yet ended.

It appears that 8.2.4. Usually it is placed in those places where there are no intersections along the route for a long time - so that the driver “does not forget” that somewhere there a ZZOIS was installed “long ago”.

In addition to the above additional plates, 8.4.1 can be mounted together with the ZZOIS. – 8.4.8., indicating the type of vehicle.

If a motorist sees a ZZOIS, and below it one of these signs, you should remember the restrictions imposed by 3.27. or 3.28., will apply only to the type of vehicle that is presented on the additional plate.

For example, in the picture below we see the sign 3.28. together with 8.4.1. This means that parking is prohibited only for trucks with a maximum permissible weight of more than 3.5 tons. Everyone else can stop moving for more than 5 minutes.

Taxi is not welcome

The order of the Ministry of Transport on approval of parking requirements came into force on January 1 of this year. As the document states, in cities it is forbidden to create parking lots for commercial vehicles in the courtyards of residential buildings. That is, cars that are used to transport people and goods on the basis of contracts and belong to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs (IEs) cannot be left in the yards after returning from a trip and the end of the driver’s shift. This also applies to the cars of those citizens who transport people or goods without concluding contracts.

A taxi driver's rest between shifts is at least nine hours.

The order sparked heated discussions on social networks. According to some residents, now no carsharing cars can park in their yards, because they also belong to commercial companies. Is it really prohibited? No, that's not true. “Car sharing cars are a short-term rental of vehicles; the obligation applies to taxis, but not to car sharing,” explained the Ministry of Transport.

Taxi drivers, minibuses, minibuses, and trucks are prohibited from parking in courtyards. And they need to be parked in special parking lots, which must be illuminated and marked in accordance with traffic rules.

True, there is no administrative liability for violation of these requirements, so compliance with the established requirements is problematic, adds Valery Alekseev, vice-president of the Russian Motor Transport Union. For buses and minibuses, regulations on licensing passenger transportation apply. That is, parking in the yard will mean a violation of licensing requirements, he explains to RG. In this case, car owners can be held accountable.

With taxis everything is more complicated. “The order specifies the norm that is associated with rest between shifts. The Road Safety Act stipulates that during drivers' rest periods between shifts, the vehicle must be parked in an appropriate parking area. But administering the norm is difficult due to the fact that it is impossible to determine exactly how the driver rests,” says Alekseev. Rest between shifts should be at least 9 hours, he explains. If the car was parked in the yard during this time, residents can send such information to the regional government authority. In this case, you can still apply some measures of influence, but this process is slow.

How many minutes can you stand

3.27. prohibits stopping the vehicle, that is, as stated in paragraph 1.2. Traffic rules, intentional stopping of the movement of a car for a period of up to 300 seconds, except in cases of boarding or disembarking passengers (or loading/unloading a vehicle) - in this case, stopping movement for a period of more than 300 seconds will be considered a stop.

3.28. prohibits only the parking of a vehicle, that is, the deliberate cessation of vehicle movement for a period of more than 5 minutes, if this is not related to the embarkation/disembarkation of citizens or the loading/unloading of a vehicle.

Obviously 3.27. does not allow you to stop or stand, but 3.28. - just stand.

What does the taxi sign in the parking lot mean?

• On the roadway on the main road outside populated areas. The fine for parking on the highway outside of specially designated areas is 1,000 rubles.
• At a distance of less than 50 m from the railway crossing. Then the country’s budget will have to be paid in accordance with Art. 12.10 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses 1000 rubles. A repeated violation no longer threatens with a fine, but with deprivation of driver’s license for a period of 1 year.

Taxi road sign means

Still would! Cities are filled to capacity with cars, and increasingly it turns out that the driver stops not where he can, but where he can find a seat. And sometimes such tricks, such as parking under a “No Parking” sign, result in fines, and in the worst case, the car being sent to the impound lot.

Another person was caught using a taxi light. The fine in all these cases is stipulated in the Code of Administrative Offenses in the amount of rubles,” the law enforcement officer explained.

Exceptions and emergencies

Exception by sign 3.27. intended for:

• route vehicles;
• and cars used as taxis.

The specified types of vehicles can stop even in the operating zone 3.27., but only in places specifically designed for stopping them (that is, where there are signs 5.16., 5.17. or 5.18. or markings 1.17.).

Regarding index 3.28. there are more exceptions. In particular, the following can stand even within its coverage area:

• Vehicles belonging to Russian Post, which have a white diagonal stripe on a blue background applied to the side surface;
• taxi with a working taximeter;
• cars owned by disabled people of the 1st or 2nd group, as well as cars transporting disabled children (the specified vehicles can deviate from the requirements of 3.28 only if the appropriate identification mark is installed on them - see the picture).

In addition, drivers can ignore the requirements of the ZZOIS:

• Vehicles with a blue flashing light running, performing an urgent departmental task (Section 3.1. Traffic Regulations);
• A vehicle with an orange or yellow beacon turned on (Section 3.5. Traffic Regulations).

Regarding emergency situations. In clause 1.2. The traffic rules introduce such a concept as a forced stop - this is the cessation of vehicle movement due to a malfunction, the health condition of the driver, passenger, or the appearance of an obstacle on the road.

If a forced stop of driving has to be carried out in the coverage area of ​​the ZZOIS, the driver needs to:

• turn on the emergency lights (paragraph 3, clause 7.1 of the traffic rules);
• be sure to display an emergency stop sign (paragraph 3, clause 7.2 of the traffic rules);
• then take all available measures to remove the vehicle from the place where stopping is prohibited (clause 12.6. Traffic rules).

Signs of special regulations

This permit is issued by regional branches of the Ministry of Transport of all constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The standard validity period of a permit (license) is 5 years; it can be revoked in case of violation of legislation in the field of private transportation. The vehicle is also subject to registration with the authorized body. All permitting documentation must be kept with the driver and presented at the first request of the passenger or traffic police representative. You should also know that a taxi driver must have a driving experience of at least 3 years confirmed by a work book.

Where is parking allowed if there is a prohibition sign?

Territory of operation 3.27. may also be limited to yellow markings 1.4., applied along the roadway at its edge. In this case, 3.27. will not apply to the nearest intersection or the end of the city, but to the place where this marking ends.

Same thing with 3.28. – immediately after its installation, a yellow broken line 1.10 can be applied. As soon as this marking is completed, that’s it – parking will be possible.

To better understand where you can stop or stand, consider some questions from the theory exam papers:

1. Question No. 1. Can a driver stop at the request of a traffic controller in the coverage area of ​​3.27? (see picture).

   
   Photo: can the driver stop at the request of a traffic controller in the coverage area 3.27
   The correct answer is yes, he can. Justification is in clause 6.15. The traffic rules state that drivers are required to follow the orders of the traffic controller even if they contradict the requirements of road signs.

2. Question No. 2. Is it possible for the driver to stop after the sign to pick up a passenger?

   
   Photo: is it possible for the driver to stop after the sign for the purpose of boarding a passenger
   ? The correct answer is no, it is not allowed, since in conjunction with 3.27. An additional sign 8.2.4 has been used, indicating that it is forbidden to stop either before or after the sign.

3. Question No. 3. Is it possible for the driver of a route vehicle to stop where a citizen “votes”?

   
   Photo: Is it possible for the driver of a route vehicle to stop where a citizen “votes”
   ? The answer is no, it’s impossible, since the requirements are 3.27. do not apply to minibuses, but only in places indicated by 5.16. – 5.18.

Who does the sign apply to?

Only taxi drivers can park under the sign. The sign marks special areas where taxi drivers can park and wait indefinitely for passengers. Other drivers should be extremely careful in such an area and watch for taxis leaving the parking lot.

A taxi has the right to stop on other sections of the road where there are no special marks. But in such places they have no advantage.

In order for all traffic participants to clearly see the sign, it is made double-sided. One-sided signs are installed only on roads, outside populated areas, where there is no large concentration of cars.

Fine for parking under a sign - parking is prohibited

Stopping or parking in the wrong place can lead to traffic obstruction, and this is only the safest consequence. The main risk is the likelihood of an accident and damage to both property and human life and health due to a vehicle standing on the road.

Unconditional situations in which parking is prohibited include the presence of sign 3.28 “Parking prohibited” on the roadway. Externally, this sign has a round shape with a red line crossed from right to left on a blue background. For violation of the requirements of this sign, only a fine is applied in the amount of:

What is the amount of the fine for parking under a sign - parking is prohibited - in 2021

It is not at all necessary to park a car, get out of it, in a word, arrange a parking lot, in order to find yourself in violation of the Administrative Code and pay a decent fine. Sometimes it is enough to simply stop a vehicle in the wrong place to be held liable for this violation. Let's take a closer look at the cases in which both stopping and parking are prohibited:

There are places that are not as dangerous for parking as those discussed above, and yet they are o, which means: you cannot park a car there, no matter how difficult the situation you find yourself in. In 2021, for such an offense you face a fine of one and a half thousand rubles, and in the capitals - three thousand.

Recommendations for car owners

Experts recommend adhering to certain rules that regulate the area where the “No Stopping” sign is distributed.

1. In the absence of special signs, the sign's coverage area extends until all restrictions are lifted by another sign or until the first intersection;
2. If the actions of the traffic controller and the signs are inconsistent, you should adhere to the instructions of the first;
3. The sign is not valid for vehicles carrying passengers only when its stopping place is marked with markings or a special sign;
4. Signs with arrows (up, down, in both directions) indicate the area where the sign is distributed;
5. You cannot park in parking spaces that are designated for disabled people;
6. If necessary, the imposed fine can be appealed.

Thus, parking under a “No Stopping” sign is regulated by traffic rules. This order must be followed.

And if there is a “TAXI” sign, then it will no longer be possible to park your personal car there (not a taxi, and not a bomb)? Although there was also a sign “PLACE FOR DISABLED PERSONS” nearby, it seemed like the people parked there were not disabled people. And one more thing: for some reason I didn’t find the required road sign with a set of emoticons on the site. That's why I didn't indicate them.

Sign 5.14 “Taxi parking area” refers to a group of information and directional signs that introduce or cancel certain traffic modes, and also inform about the location of populated areas and other objects. Therefore, if there were no signs 3.27 or 3.28, then I think you can stand.
