The situation of parking in the second row is very common and can create many problems for the driver, but it can be solved. Car owners may violate parking rules both due to a lack of parking spaces and due to simple disrespect for other drivers. There are also frequent cases of “parking wars” between neighbors, when they park in the second row to punish for illegally occupying a space. There are some tips for a car owner whose car is locked in a parking lot.

General information about illegal parking and fines

The basic rules of conduct for road users, including the rules for parking vehicles, are reflected in clause 12 of the traffic rules.
Thus, clause 12.1 of the traffic rules stipulates that a car can be parked on the right side of the roadway, as well as on part of the sidewalk path, if there is no shoulder and in the presence of permitting signs. When selecting a site for parking a car, you need to make sure that the selected site was not prohibited. Clause 12.4 of the Traffic Regulations provides for a prohibition on parking a vehicle in the following situations:

On tram rails or close to the rails, as well as on railway rails.
On overpasses, bridges and under these structures.
In the tunnels.
Closer than 5 meters to a pedestrian crossing or intersection.
Closer than 15 meters to a general purpose vehicle stop.
On the bike lane.
Before sharp turns and in areas where the view is less than 100 meters.
In areas where the car will cover road signs and traffic lights.
In areas where a car will impede the movement of vehicles and people.
In areas where the gap between a continuous marking strip (except for the strip outlining the edge of the roadway), a dividing strip or the opposite side of the roadway and a parked car is less than 3 meters.

According to clause 12.5 of the traffic rules, parking is prohibited:

On main roads outside populated areas.
Closer than 50 meters from the railway rails.
If there is a “No Stopping” sign.

If a parked car is in the wrong area, the driver is awarded a fine, the amount of which depends on the type of traffic violation and ranges from 500 to 5,000 rubles.

Note. The violator is given 60 days from the date of receipt of the decision to pay off the monetary penalty. If the violator pays the fine within 20 days, he has the right to take advantage of a 50% discount.

Parking on the sidewalk

The most common punishment for motorists is when a vehicle is left on the sidewalk.
Even driving onto the curb of a sidewalk path with one wheel is perceived by a traffic police inspector as non-compliance with Part 3 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, indicating that the car was left closer than 5 meters in front of the zebra crossing for people. Such disregard of traffic rules is subject to a penalty of 1,000 rubles. Part 6 art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses states that the same illegal action carried out in large cities of the Russian Federation will be subject to a penalty of 3,000 rubles.

However, clause 12.2 of the traffic rules provides for the possibility of leaving the following vehicles on the edge of the sidewalk path:

Bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds and passenger vehicles.
In places with tabular signs 8.4.7, 8.6.2, 8.6.3, 8.6.6 – 8.6.9, which display the method of leaving a car on the sidewalk path, and with an attached sign 6.4 “Parking”.

Parking in disabled spaces

Illegal leaving of a vehicle in places marked “for disabled people” leads to a fine of up to 5,000 rubles. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that if a “disabled person” sign is attached to a car, this may not always mean that such a car can be left in a designated area. To do this, the motorist must have a document certifying his disability. In the absence of such a document, a sign on the car “for disabled people” will not help when leaving the car under such markings; the driver will have to pay a fine, based on Part 2 of Art. 12.19 of the Administrative Code, in the amount of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles (the amount varies in regions and cities).

Parking at bus and minibus stops

Public transport stop areas are always marked with appropriate signs. Therefore, other vehicles are prohibited from stopping vehicles in these areas closer than 15 meters from the attached sign. If this Rule is ignored, the driver is subject to punishment in accordance with Part 3.1 of Art. 12.19 of the Administrative Code, which provides for a fine of 3,000 rubles. If you are forced to leave your car, the fine is 1,000 rubles.

Fines for illegal parking

Turning to Part 4 of Article 12.16 of the Administrative Code, you can find out that for failure to comply with signs and road markings indicating the prohibition of stopping and parking, the driver faces a fine of 1,500 rubles. The only exceptions are violations recorded in Moscow and St. Petersburg. In federal cities, the fine has been doubled - up to 3,000 rubles.

Illegal parking is one of the most common traffic violations. To reduce the number of cars disturbing other road users and pedestrians, the government continues to increase fines. What awaits drivers for illegal parking in 2021?

Is it possible to park second row according to traffic regulations?

First of all, let’s determine what the legislation says on this matter. Regarding parking in the second row, you need to be guided. It clearly states the following:

All cars can only park in one row parallel to the edge of the road, unless markings 6.4 or signs 8.6.1 – 8.6.9 indicate otherwise.
An exception is provided only for two-wheeled vehicles . Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters and other equipment of this type can stand in two rows. But only on the condition that they do not have trailers on the side. A motorcycle with a sidecar is no longer considered as a two-wheeled motor vehicle, but as a regular vehicle.

The requirements of clause 12.2 apply only to parking on the roadway. They do not apply to specially designated parking lots: multi-row parking is initially provided there.

On automotive websites you can sometimes find a statement that second-row parking is allowed in places where the road is mechanically widened (in “pockets”). This is mistake. Clause 12.2 of the Traffic Regulations does not say anything like that, and the “pocket” does not become a parking lot.

Where is it allowed and where is it forbidden to park?

The method of stopping a car or parking is determined by sign 6.4 . When a sign is combined with plates 8.6.4-8.6.9 and road marking lines, parking a vehicle is permitted at an angle to the edge of the roadway if the space allows such an arrangement.

On the side of the road on the right side. If it is not there, then it is on the roadway, closer to the edge.
Is it possible to park on the opposite side of the road against traffic? On the left side of the road, parking and stopping are permitted in built-up areas on roads with one lane for each direction without tram tracks in the middle and on one-way roads.
The car is placed in one row parallel to the edge of the roadway. Two-wheeled vehicles without a trailer can be parked in two rows.
If the driver wants to stop for a long rest, then this is permissible outside the populated area in areas specially provided for this or off the road.

What is second row parking?

The traffic rules are entirely devoted to the rules of stopping and parking vehicles. Drivers must adhere to a number of requirements:

The car can be parked on the right side on the side of the road, and if there is none, then on the roadway, but no closer than 3 meters to the dividing strip of the solid line (clause 12.1 of the traffic rules).
Stopping and parking on the left side is permitted for roads with one lane in populated areas, areas with one-way traffic, and in the absence of tram tracks. Transport over 3.5 tons can stop on the left side of one-way traffic only for loading and unloading (clause 12.1 of the traffic rules).
Vehicles can only be parked in one row, parallel to the edge (Section 12.2 of the Traffic Regulations). The exception is two-wheeled vehicles without a trailer; such vehicles can be stopped in two rows.

A second-row stop is parking a vehicle parallel to an already parked vehicle, that is, closer to the middle of the roadway. The legislator (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation) prohibited this option, since parking in the second row can significantly impede travel on the road, blocking the traffic lane. Such a maneuver will also block the path of a car that was parked earlier.

Second row parking: the meaning of the violation

Knowing the current laws can help you avoid a parking fine in many situations.

Let's turn to paragraph 12.2 of the traffic rules. They say that you can only park your car parallel to the roadway and in one row. Exceptions are cases where road signs state that parking is permitted at a certain angle.

For example, this may apply to so-called “pockets” on the roadway or paid parking lots.

With regard to such a maneuver as parking, the second row of traffic rules is allowed only for two-wheeled vehicles (bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles), but on condition that it is without a trailer (clause 12.2).

In other cases, parking in the second row is a violation of stopping rules and is fraught with administrative punishment.

What is the fine for second row parking?

Any violation of traffic rules entails a sanction established by law (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). Illegal abandonment of a vehicle is no exception. The Traffic Regulations establish the ban itself, but the Traffic Regulations, as essentially a by-law, do not determine the punishment for parking a car in the second row.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is entirely devoted to violations of stopping and parking rules. Clause 3.2 contains penalties for leaving a vehicle further than the first row from the edge of the road. The violator will have to pay a fine of one and a half thousand rubles.

For Moscow and St. Petersburg, the legislator has determined other sanctions. Thus, paragraph 6 establishes the fine for parking in the second row in the amount of three thousand rubles.

In a situation where a car interferes with the passage of other vehicles, that is, interferes with traffic, paragraph 4 of the same article 12.19 applies. The fine for it will amount to two thousand rubles, and for Moscow and St. Petersburg, according to the same paragraph 6, the amount increases to three thousand.

Will there be a fine for parking in the second row if the car breaks down?

Current legislation contains such a concept as a forced stop. It refers to a situation where the car remains in a certain place not by the will of the driver, but due to unforeseen circumstances, for example:

the car broke down;
the transport is partially damaged and its use may cause harm to the driver, other persons and objects;
the driver of the vehicle is in a state where it is not recommended for him to drive a car (for example, symptoms of an illness or disease have appeared);
another object is blocking the passage and there is no way to go around it.

Clause 12.6 of the traffic rules indicates that in the event of a forced stop, the driver is obliged to take all actions within his power aimed at removing vehicles from the roadway.

If the vehicle cannot be moved, it is recommended to perform the following actions:

turn on the hazard warning lights;
turn off the engine;
put up an “emergency stop” sign, that is, the so-called triangle;
if necessary, call the traffic police (for example, if another car is blocking the passage), as well as a tow truck, which will allow you to remove your own car from the roadway or take other actions aimed at clearing the passage.

Clause 3.2 of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation indicates a forced stop as an exception. Accordingly, a person will not be held liable if he takes all possible actions.

Is there a discount on the fine?

A number of administrative fines for violating traffic rules can be paid with a fifty percent discount (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). To do this, it is necessary to fully repay the debt within a period not exceeding 20 days from the date of the sanction.

The period is calculated from the moment of issuance, and not from the date the person receives the decision on a fine for parking in the second row (clause 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

The Code of Administrative Offenses, which regulates leaving a car in the second row and other parking violations, is no exception. The fine can be paid at a discount if you meet the deadline.

The fine for parking in the second row

The driver's liability for such a violation is prescribed in Art. 12.19 part 3.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. By the way, this rule also applies to stopping (parking) on tram tracks, which we have already written about, and parking in a tunnel.

So, if the car was careless to park in the second row, the person sitting behind the wheel can expect a fine of 1,500 rubles. For cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg, this amount will double.

When stopping in the second row creates obstacles to traffic, a fine can be issued under Art. 12.4 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Its usual amount will be 2 thousand rubles. For Moscow and the Northern capital – 1 thousand more.

As in other cases with improper parking, parking in the second row risks calling a tow truck. Then the car will be placed in a impound lot and will remain there until the administrative sanctions are paid off. Other penalties, for example, deprivation of rights or violation of parking rules, are not provided.

The traffic police authorities issue fines. However, the sanctions applied can be challenged. The best way to do this is in court.

However, all materials must be submitted to the court within 10 days from the date of receipt of the order to pay a fine, including for parking on tram tracks.

When there is no responsibility

In part 3.2 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses there is one important caveat. The idea is that parking in the second row is allowed in exceptional situations. These, for example, include the breakdown of important components and assemblies of the machine.

So, if the driver sees that he has problems with the brakes, he will simply be obliged to stop. The same goes for headlights and wipers (in bad weather). In addition, the reason for parking may be a sharp deterioration in the health of the driver or his passengers.

At the same time, there are a number of situations when the fact of stopping in the second row is not obvious. In this case, the driver can operate on the testimony of witnesses, photographs or video recordings.

A car lawyer can help the car owner defend his rights. He will provide not only his advice, but will also defend the driver’s interests in court. Practice shows that the arguments of an experienced lawyer convince judges to cancel the fine.

If you have been issued a fine and it is not clear what to do next, you can get free advice from a lawyer online or by phone. After this, you can already plan further actions.

Tip #2. Bring to justice

If you wait for a long time or if the inconvenience caused leads to major damage, you can punish the owner of the wrongly parked car. For example, use the online service “Moscow Assistant” in Moscow or “People’s Inspector” in Tatarstan.

You can also take a photo of a car that is parked in violation of the rules and send the photo to the traffic police through the “Reception of requests” section. After some time, the driver will receive a fine. Based on Part 3.2 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Responsibility (CAO), parking in the second row is subject to a fine of 1.5 thousand rubles. If a parked car interferes with the passage of other vehicles (the car is parked on the roadway), then the fine will be 2 thousand rubles, according to Part 4 of Art. 12.19 Code of Administrative Offences.

For residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg, fines are collected at an increased rate and amount to 3 thousand rubles. on the basis of Part 6 of Art. 12.19 Code of Administrative Offences.

Parking rules in a residential area

The traffic rules have only 2 rules governing parking in a residential area. Firstly, parking with the engine running is prohibited (to prevent exhaust smoke from entering the apartments). Secondly, parking of category “C” freight vehicles is prohibited. This is all established by clause 17.3, however, in addition to this, the traffic rules have general parking rules that prohibit parking a car on the lawn and on the sidewalk unless there is an appropriate sign nearby that allows such parking.

But parking rules in a residential area are regulated not only by traffic regulations. The Russian Federation has fire safety and sanitary standards, which all citizens must also comply with.

Fire safety standards require that cars be parked so as not to block the entry into the yard for special service vehicles.

And SanPiN 2.2.1/2.1.1.1200-03 establishes the following restrictions on parking near the house:

parking for 10 cars can be located at a distance of up to 10m from the windows/entrance to the house;
at a distance of 11-50m from the windows/entrance to the house, parking for 15 cars can be located;
at a distance of 51-100 m from the windows/entrance to the house, parking for 25 cars can be located;
at a distance of 101-300 meters from the windows/entrance to the house, parking for 35 cars can be located;
At a distance of more than 300m from the windows/entrance to the house, parking for 50 cars can be located.

Second row parking

although, according to traffic regulations, local widening (and the described parking is exactly that) cannot be considered nearby and parking is carried out in the first row. -And can you park there opposite the widening? really? Why is there a sign with the correct location of the vehicle hanging there?

Situation: A road with 4 lanes (2 in one and 2 in the other, if anyone doesn’t understand), there is a bunch of people parked in the first row, then a parking pocket begins perpendicular to the drive, which is obviously all occupied. There is a parking sign and parking rules in this pocket. But what kind of violation is it if you stand not in this parking lot, but in the driveway in the first row (I am not considering the situation with abandoning the car and locking the exit for those parked, but simply stopping to wait for a passenger). Traffic police officers persistently try to divert the parking lot to the second row, although according to the traffic regulations, local widening (and the described parking is exactly that) cannot be considered nearby and parking is carried out in the first row. Is there a penalty for improperly positioning a vehicle in a parking lot? In general, is there any element of an offense here?

What is considered illegal parking in the yard and the amount of the fine for violation?

It is important to understand that parking rules in the courtyard of an apartment building are also regulated by traffic rules. Key points that motorists should pay attention to include:

Appealing a fine for parking in the yard

In some cases, vehicle owners can appeal fines issued for violation of parking rules in the yard. Such moments include parking on the lawn in winter. This violation inevitably entails the imposition of penalties on the owner. But there is an opportunity to challenge the decision of regulatory organizations. This can be done with one caveat: in winter, a complaint from homeowners must be submitted to the sanitary services, and in the summer - to the traffic police. If your neighbors filed a similar complaint with the traffic police in the winter season (if there is snow cover), then the issued fine can be safely appealed in court.
The basis for the appeal is the lack of proper visibility. The driver's argument may be that he simply did not notice the lawn under the layer of snow.

Parking in the local area - residents' rights

Parking lots in courtyards are built in accordance with sanitary standards and traffic regulations.

The entire area around the apartment building is at the common disposal of the residents. All decisions regarding the arrangement of parking lots must be made based on the results of a general vote. If 2/3 of the owners are “For”, the decision is made.

The rights of residents are supported by two documents:

Minutes of the meeting of premises owners with the decision on the arrangement of the parking lot and signatures.
A certified certificate about the area and composition of the local area.

How to get a parking space in the yard

A personal parking space can be given, sold, or rented.

In an ordinary yard it is difficult to rent or register a parking space. The owners of apartments in the building manage the adjacent territory together, on the basis of common shared ownership. None of the residents has the right to individually dispose of the yard or some part of it.

Sometimes neighbors in the yard mark their parking lots: they install blockers or tighten chains. It is illegal to do this; it is considered self-seizure of territory. Traffic police officers have the right to issue a fine of 5,000 rubles.

From the beginning of 2021, motorists can legally obtain a parking space near their home. With this law, parking spaces have become full-fledged real estate: they can be registered in the cadastral register, donated, sold, leased, bequeathed, and even left as collateral.

You must pay a tax for a legally registered parking space.

To assign a parking space to one of the residents, a general vote must be held. If two-thirds of the owners vote “For”, you can proceed to registering the land. First you need to register the selected plot, mark its boundaries, indicate its purpose and receive a cadastral number. Only then does the motorist become the owner of his own parking space.

If there is an HOA in an apartment building, it is easier to get a personal parking space. You need to find out how many parking spaces are in the yard, which of them are free and choose one of them. After this, a vote must be held at a meeting of residents.

Complaint about illegal parking in the yard

If one of the residents regularly violates parking rules in the courtyard of an apartment building, then he should be held administratively liable. You should not appeal to the help of public organizations or try to explain the essence of the violation in a dialogue. There is a simple and effective solution that allows you to bring the offender to justice without conflict.

Several steps need to be taken:

record the violation using a photo/video camera;

call a traffic police inspector to the scene of the violation;

hand over to him the collected photo/video materials and provide the details of the offender (personal data or license plate number of the vehicle).

For your information

If there are several violators, then photo/video materials must be provided for each parked car. In this case, the inspector will issue several fines for illegal parking at once.

A fire inspector can also issue a fine if parking results in the inability to put out a fire. If the offense does not fall within the area of responsibility of the traffic police, you should contact the sanitary inspection and provide them with the necessary materials and data.

Not only residents of an apartment building, but also employees of the management company (MC) can report a violation. This development of events is possible if vehicles interfere with the loading and removal of household waste. And representatives of utility services reserve the right to call a tow truck to free up space near garbage cans.

What about commercial vehicles?

But parking commercial vehicles in the yard is a completely different story. Commercial transport is cargo (all kinds of KAMAZs, gazelles, trucks, equipment) and passenger (minibuses, buses, taxis) transport used by legal entities or individual entrepreneurs. So, on January 1, 2021, amendments to the Requirements, approved, came into force. . In accordance with them, from January 1, 2021, it is no longer possible to park such commercial vehicles in the courtyards of residential buildings.

The creation of parking lots on public territory within the boundaries of an element of the planning structure built up with apartment buildings is not allowed (clause 4 of the Requirements, approved by Order of the Ministry of Transport No. 199).

Is it possible to park trucks in the courtyards of residential buildings? You can do it like any other commercial vehicle! Let's look at the features of the innovation and tell you why the ban is not as strict as it seems.

Firstly, it concerns cars that have returned from a flight or are parked after a work shift for overnight parking. That is, cars cannot be parked in courtyards; they must be parked in specially equipped parking lots. But if you drove into the yard to unload, say, the furniture of one of the residents, there is nothing illegal in such parking.
Secondly, the ban applies only to cities of federal significance - Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. This rule does not apply to other cities.
Thirdly, the Order, like the Administrative Code, does not provide for any sanctions for violators. It is absolutely unclear who will monitor compliance with the requirements and how government agencies will react.

Is it possible to park a taxi in the courtyard of a residential building? Of course, but not for overnight stays. And again, if the car is used by the resident of the house to work in a taxi (without registering as an individual entrepreneur) and at the same time as personal transport, the Order is powerless - he parks it as his own, and not a commercial car. Another question is in which parking lot he parks it. If this is guest parking, then such placement is illegal. Only permanent parking, and only at a distance from a residential building!

Truck parking in a residential area

Truck, as they say, is different from truck. As for parking specifically, vehicles of this type should be divided into two categories: up to and over 3.5 tons.

Parking of freight vehicles over 3.5 tons must comply with the following rules:

directly prohibits parking in a residential area for such vehicles unless they (parking lots) are marked with special signs/markings.
In accordance with Part 1, violation of parking rules will result in a fine of 500 rubles. The same violation, but occurring in Moscow or St. Petersburg - 2,500 rubles (Part 5 of the same article).

Thus, unless parking lots are specially equipped for this type of transport, parking trucks over 3.5 tons in yards is prohibited .

With trucks with a maximum permissible weight of less than 3.5 tons, the situation is the opposite. Their parking is not regulated by separate standards, which means that such cars can be parked according to the same rules as cars.

Unloading and loading operations and personal transport of company employees

Separately, it is necessary to consider cases of stopping and parking vehicles that do not belong to residents of nearby houses, but are related to public premises (offices, shops, etc.) located in such houses.

Here it is worth talking about two types of vehicles - personal transport of employees of such public organizations and cars parked for the purpose of unloading and loading operations. With the first type everything is simple:

Personal transport of employees of companies located in a residential building must be located outside the local area.

As for work on unloading and loading products or materials, they must be carried out in compliance with the following standards:

This type of work cannot be carried out on the side of facades that have windows and entrances. Permitted in the following places:
from underground tunnels;
from highways;
through special closed landing stages.
If a public premises (attached to a residential building) has an area of less than 150 m², it is allowed not to equip special loading rooms.

We examined the requirements and possibilities for equipping parking in courtyards in terms of the weight of the car, where the owners live and parking time. We will not return to freight transport anymore. Let's move on to the parking standards for ordinary cars weighing up to 3.5 tons.

Is it possible to privatize a parking space in the yard?

The legislation of the Russian Federation provides for the opportunity for homeowners to privatize a parking space in the courtyard of the house. If you approach the problem wisely, then after a short time you will become the owner of personal space for your own vehicle.

You need to do the following:

Obtain a cadastral number, which is allocated to the site upon cadastral registration.
Develop a parking plan.
Privatize the local area.
Hold a general meeting of homeowners, at which at least 75% of residents will give their consent to the organization of parking.
Write an application to the Criminal Code with a request to equip a parking lot.
Obtain the consent of the supervisory authorities (Rospotrebnadzor, etc.) to install a parking lot in the courtyard of a residential building.

The nuances of parking in the yard

Regulatory acts strictly regulate the rules for parking cars in yards. But there are several nuances that car owners need to consider. This will allow you to defend your rights in case of unlawful actions of other owners or government officials. These points include:

The fine for parking on the sidewalk is 2000 rubles and threatens the evacuation of the vehicle. But traffic regulations allow parking on the sidewalk if the distance for pedestrians to pass is at least 2 m between the house and the parked car.
The Code of Administrative Offenses also prohibits through traffic through the local area. But to avoid a fine for your decision, you must move at a speed of no more than 20 km/h. And also stop for a few seconds in a place permitted for this. In this case, the motorist does not fall under the classification of the “drive through” violation. But he only moves at the permitted speed in the local area, observing the rules of parking in the courtyards of apartment buildings.

Sanitary standards for parking in the yard

The document regulating the rules for parking in the yard are sanitary standards. It is in them that the main nuances of the placement of parking spaces, as well as the norms of behavior of vehicle owners, are clearly spelled out.

Sanitary standards regarding parking in the courtyards of residential buildings state that:

The distance between the parking bay and the parking lot (not exceeding 10 vehicles) cannot be less than 10 m.
If the parking lot can accommodate up to 50 vehicles, then it is necessary to comply with all regulatory requirements and arrange a specialized area for parking cars. It should be located no closer than 15 m from the windows of a residential building.
When the number of vehicles is from 51 to 100, this interval is at least 25 m.
101-300 cars should be parked no closer than 35m from a residential building.
And for a parking lot that accommodates over 300 vehicles, this distance cannot be less than 50m.

Attention

In order to arrange parking, the owners of residential buildings should privatize the local area. This will require contacting lawyers and collecting a certain package of documentation. It is important to understand that at least 75% of all owners must vote for parking equipment. Otherwise, the installation of parking spaces (from 10 to 50 vehicles) will be illegal.

Residents who do not agree with the unauthorized organization of parking in the yard have the right to file a complaint with one of the following authorities:

Sanitary inspection;
Fire inspection;
Engineering service of the area;
Environmental service.

For your information

Developers are recommended to plan parking spaces in advance or equip spacious underground parking. In most regions, this decision is advisory in nature and the developer receives such a letter at the stage of planning the area for construction.

“Put your bucket down properly.” 5 stories about second row parking

The lack of free spaces in street parking lots or in courtyards has developed a habit among Russian drivers of parking in the second row without any hesitation, blocking the exit for other cars. For communication, such drivers leave a phone number. It would seem that they should be understood like neighbors, and a few minutes of waiting cost nothing. But car owners are often in no hurry to run and move their cars at the first request.

Blocking the exit for other drivers falls under the definition of Part 4 of Art. 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses “Violation of the rules of stopping or parking vehicles” and is punishable by a fine of 2 thousand rubles, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3 thousand rubles. However, traffic police inspectors in conversations with Autonews.ru admitted that calling for a blocked car will not be a priority, and not every tow truck will be able to get into the narrow yard. Therefore, frustrated drivers often do not seek the help of tow trucks, but prefer more practical forms of revenge. We spoke with motorists who are categorically against pieces of paper with phone numbers under glass, as well as with those who consider this technique inevitable.

Natalya Smirnova, 30 years old, journalist

“They said that the child was in the hospital and hung up”

“I never block other people’s cars - I’m afraid that I won’t hear the call, I won’t be able to get there quickly, a conflict will arise, it’s easier for me to circle around and find a place than to face aggression,” Smirnova admitted to Autonews.ru. - This habit annoys me, but in general I can understand it if it’s in the yard and you, for example, stopped by for a couple of hours, or to the bank for five minutes and are ready to be in touch. But I was blocked like that in my own yard in the morning, when I was in a hurry to get to training. Because of the holiday, more cars came to our yard than usual, and I and the second car nearby were closed. Under the glass are two phone numbers. The first one did not answer for a minute. When I called the second line, a man answered the phone and I explained the situation to him. And then he said that his wife had left in the car, and he himself could not do anything. He suggested calling further.

The woman started yelling at me, asking what I wanted from her, and explaining that she was in the hospital with a small child. Then I really got angry and demanded that the car be removed immediately. No one will reimburse me for the training, and a showdown in the morning on a day off is the last thing I want to do. And guess what she answered? Nothing, I just hung up. After a few more calls, she answered and yelled that she couldn’t leave. Her husband, with whom I spoke again and said that I was ready to crash their beautiful family Ford Focus, just sighed.”

We invite you to familiarize yourself with: Features of receiving payments after an accident under compulsory motor liability insurance. Two-wheeled vehicles without a side trailer can be parked in two rows.

By stopping further than the second row, the driver is held accountable under Part 3.2 of Art. 12.19 Code of Administrative Offences. The article provides for a fine.

The principles of parking are determined by section 12 of the Road Traffic Regulations. It is allowed to park the vehicle on the right side of the road (in two-way traffic), in one row. Placing a car in the second row is an administrative offense that entails the application of sanctions established by law in the form of a fine.

It is important to understand exactly when a parked vehicle will be placed second next to a violation of the rules and the driver will face a fine. Traffic regulations clearly define situations when and how a car can be parked, and you need to focus on these standards.

Section 12 of the traffic rules is entirely devoted to the rules for stopping and parking vehicles. Drivers must adhere to a number of requirements:

The car can be parked on the right side on the side of the road, and if there is none, then on the roadway, but no closer than 3 meters to the dividing strip of the solid line (clause 12.1 of the traffic rules).
Stopping and parking on the left side is permitted for roads with one lane in populated areas, areas with one-way traffic, and in the absence of tram tracks. Transport over 3.5 tons can stop on the left side of one-way traffic only for loading and unloading (clause 12.1 of the traffic rules).
Vehicles can only be parked in one row, parallel to the edge (Section 12.2 of the Traffic Regulations). The exception is two-wheeled vehicles without a trailer; such vehicles can be stopped in two rows.

A second-row stop is parking a vehicle parallel to an already parked vehicle, that is, closer to the middle of the roadway. The legislator (clause 3.2 of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) prohibited this option, since parking in the second row can significantly impede travel along the road, blocking the traffic lane. Such a maneuver will also block the path of a car that was parked earlier.

Any violation of traffic rules entails a sanction established by law (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). Illegal abandonment of a vehicle is no exception. Point 12.

2 of the SDA establishes the ban itself, but the SDA, as, in fact, a by-law, does not determine the punishment for parking a car in the second row.

Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is entirely devoted to violations of stopping and parking rules. Clause 3.2 contains penalties for leaving a vehicle further than the first row from the edge of the road. The violator will have to pay a fine of one and a half thousand rubles.

For Moscow and St. Petersburg, the legislator has determined other sanctions. Thus, paragraph 6 establishes the fine for parking in the second row in the amount of three thousand rubles.

In a situation where a car interferes with the passage of other vehicles, that is, interferes with traffic, paragraph 4 of the same article 12.19 applies. The fine for it will amount to two thousand rubles, and for Moscow and St. Petersburg, according to the same paragraph 6, the amount increases to three thousand.

A parked car in the second row can become an obstacle not only on the roadway. Quite often, owners leave their cars in the courtyard area of apartment buildings, which creates difficulties when leaving.

Section 12 of the Traffic Rules establishes the rules for stopping and parking on the roadway, outside populated areas and in other places, but does not contain restrictions on location in the courtyards of residential buildings. At first glance, in the absence of a “no parking” sign, leaving the car is acceptable. But it’s worth turning to section 17 of the traffic rules – “traffic in residential areas”.

Paragraph 17.2 states that parking with a running engine, as well as cargo vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons, is prohibited in a residential area. The traffic regulations do not contain restrictions regarding other types of parking.

The fine will be one and a half thousand rubles and twice as much for Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Such violations can be understood as creating obstacles in the movement of other vehicles or pedestrians, even if they are caused by stopping in the second row.

It turns out that there is no direct liability for leaving a vehicle in the second row in the yard, unless at the same time the driver committed another violation, for example, blocking the roadway. But point 12.

19, paragraph 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and is punishable by a warning or a fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.

There are no direct sanctions for leaving a vehicle in the second row in a specially designated parking lot. However, the traffic rules, in paragraph 12.4, contain the condition that parking is prohibited if it interferes with the movement of other vehicles or pedestrians.

Stopping in the second row in a parking lot may block the ability of another car to exit. In this case, paragraph 1 of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation applies, according to which the driver may face a warning or a fine of five hundred rubles.

A number of administrative fines for violation of traffic rules can be paid with a fifty percent discount (clause 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). To do this, it is necessary to fully repay the debt within a period not exceeding 20 days from the date of the sanction.

The period is calculated from the moment of issuance, and not from the date the person receives the decision on a fine for parking in the second row (clause 1.3 of Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code, which regulates leaving a car in the second row and other parking violations, is no exception. The fine can be paid at a discount if you meet the deadline.

the car broke down;
the transport is partially damaged and its use may cause harm to the driver, other persons and objects;
the driver of the vehicle is in a state where it is not recommended for him to drive a car (for example, symptoms of an illness or disease have appeared);
another object is blocking the passage and there is no way to go around it.

Clause 12.6 of the traffic rules indicates that in the event of a forced stop, the driver is obliged to take all actions within his power aimed at removing vehicles from the roadway.

If the vehicle cannot be moved, it is recommended to perform the following actions:

turn on the hazard warning lights;
turn off the engine;
put up an “emergency stop” sign, that is, the so-called triangle;
if necessary, call the traffic police (for example, if another car is blocking the passage), as well as a tow truck, which will allow you to remove your own car from the roadway or take other actions aimed at clearing the passage.

Clause 3.2 of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation indicates a forced stop as an exception. Accordingly, a person will not be held liable if he takes all possible actions.

A fine for parking in the second row, like any other administrative offense, can be appealed. To do this, you need to perform certain actions:

Receive a copy of the decision to prosecute.
Familiarize yourself with the decision and find out whether there are reasons for appealing, for example, there was a forced stop in the second row.
Prepare a complaint against the decision. Challenging is possible through the court and to a higher authority. The judicial option seems to be more effective.
Send a complaint with attachments to the court or a higher authority. If the judicial option is chosen, all that remains is to take part in the meeting and indicate your arguments and present evidence.
