Residential zone and settlement boundaries signs

Cars are rightful masters on the roads. A pedestrian feels uncomfortable crossing traffic. In the residential area the situation is reversed. Here, the convenience and safety of citizens is more important than the convenience of the motorist.

Residential zone road sign - what does it mean and where is it installed?

The rules of the State Traffic Inspectorate enshrine the concept of a residential zone. Strict measures are applied to rule violators: deprivation of rights, fines. However, many drivers poorly understand the purpose of the network of local roads within such a zone and use them for through travel.

Residential zone sign and its installation locations

Entry into the territory of a residential zone is determined by a special mandatory sign 5.21.
A diagonally crossed sign (5.22) marks the end of the residential area. The driver who finds himself in the zone of their action is obliged to follow the established traffic order.

Their installation location is:

  • residential area in a residential area;
  • private sector within the city;
  • cottage village;

Such signs are not installed in courtyard areas unless absolutely necessary. This circumstance should not be misleading, since the traffic rules there are the same.

These special signs are installed by local municipalities. At the request of citizens, if these measures are not enough to maintain order, the passage of any transport is prohibited, except for:

  • special transport for emergency services;
  • personal cars of residents;
  • mail, taxi, delivery;

If no one has a clear advantage when entering or leaving

Sometimes cars meet already in the yard, when both end up in the adjacent territory. And in this case, it is impossible to find out who has priority in the movement. And it is necessary to continue the journey, but it is not possible to simply drive past each other due to the narrowness of the space. In this case, who gives way in the yard is determined by the safety conditions for both drivers, the vehicle and common sense.

If one of the cars has the ability to reverse, you should do so so that the second one can pass. The one who can turn to the side and wait there until the opponent leaves the narrow area must also concede. If an SUV and a car meet, the first one can drive onto a high shoulder or move onto a dirt road to allow the second car to pass.

who gives in in the yard

In short, drivers must be polite, prudent and reasonable. You can agree on who lets someone through using gestures. If the motorist categorically does not want to yield, although he has more favorable conditions for this, the “three D rule” comes into effect. It’s better to let him pass than to conflict. Because during the dispute, the number of cars in the problem area may increase.

Residential zone in traffic rules

A residential zone is an area whose boundaries are indicated by road signs 5.21 and 5.22. Section 17 of the Highway Code requires a number of rules to be followed within this zone. In courtyard areas, these rules are also mandatory.

A courtyard area is a space inside the perimeter formed by residential buildings, or between buildings, on which flower beds, lawns, recreation areas, children's and sports grounds are located.

  1. The roadway located inside such a zone is primarily intended for pedestrians and cyclists; they have priority here.
  2. The car must allow them to pass (check-in and check-out is no exception). Unnecessarily, pedestrians (cyclists) do not need to interfere with the movement of cars.
  3. The speed is limited to 20 km/h.
  4. Prohibited:
      educational driving;
  5. through traffic;
  6. parking for category “C” freight vehicles;
  7. parking with the engine running;

Correct parking

The Administrative Code and traffic rules in courtyards and residential areas prohibit:

  1. park trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons (if there is no special parking);
  2. park:
      in flower beds, lawns or areas with plantings;
  3. on children's or sports grounds;
  4. on sidewalks;

Drivers leave their cars under apartment windows to keep an eye on them. There are not enough parking spaces in the courtyards, but this does not change the basic rules:

  1. the car should not block access roads;
  2. there is no need to interfere with pedestrians;
  3. Reverse must be done very carefully; children and pets are not visible in the blind spot;

If these rules are neglected, the following consequences are possible:

  1. a fire truck or ambulance will not be able to get through in time to help the victims;
  2. the conflict situation will end in traumatology;
  3. a criminal case will be initiated regarding the collision with the child;
  4. you will have to pay a fine;

Is leaving the yard considered an intersection?

Leaving the yard, according to traffic regulations, is not considered an intersection. Here is what is said about this in the “General Provisions” of the legal document:

Crossroads" is a place where roads intersect, join or branch at the same level, limited by imaginary lines connecting, respectively, the opposite, most distant from the center of the intersection, beginnings of curvatures of roadways. Exits from adjacent areas are not considered intersections.

Therefore, the rules for driving through intersections at the exit from the yard do not work.

Sometimes it is difficult for the driver to understand what exactly is in front of him - an intersection of roads or a section leading from the adjacent territory. To figure it out, you should look at nearby objects. For example, a traffic light is installed only at an intersection, but not at the exit from a residential area. Signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 and plate 8.13 too.

How long does a driver need to comply with restrictions?

Residential or courtyard areas are not intended for the transit of vehicles. You should only enter it if necessary:

  • you live in this place;
  • came to someone on business;
  • you work there;
  • intend to buy something;
  • it is necessary to disembark a passenger or unload cargo (pick up a passenger, load cargo);

From the moment you entered the coverage area of ​​sign 5.21 or any courtyard area until the moment you left (sign 5.22), you are required to follow the traffic rules established by the traffic police.

What it is

First, let's look at the very concept of a residential area. This is a certain area adjacent to residential private and apartment buildings, which is focused on priority traffic specifically for pedestrians and cyclists. It is this part of the movement participants that is the main one here. Motorists belong to the secondary part.

In simple terms, we are talking about our native yards, where you and I grew up, walked, met with friends, played football, etc. These areas are called residential. Sign 5.21 applies to them. The only problem is that the traffic rules use only one, and rather vague, definition of a residential zone. It is characterized as a specially equipped area in which appropriate or special traffic rules apply, and it is fenced with special signs. But if you rely on traffic rules, then any internal territory belongs to residential areas.

What does this mean? It's simple. Any such territory that corresponds to the descriptions in the traffic regulations is considered a residential area. Moreover, regardless of whether signs are installed there or not. Every driver should remember this.

residential zone sign

A visual picture will help you understand what the sign itself looks like. The photo shows that this blue Sign 5.22 is located where the end of the residential zone is located, that is, the effect on speed limits and other limits ends only after the corresponding sign. Or after leaving the yard, if there are no signs at all. This makes it somewhat more difficult for the driver to understand where exactly the special zone begins and ends. Keep it very simple here. When entering the yard, already at the entrance it is considered that the sign is there. Same thing when checking out. This will definitely allow you to avoid fines for various types of illegal actions. If you know something interesting about the rules for installing such signs, be sure to write in the comments.

Next, it’s worth talking about how the restrictions work and what not to do.

Control over driver actions

Very often, a driver, being in a residential area or in a courtyard, thinks that the State Traffic Inspectorate and traffic rules are absent here. If the traffic police inspector is not nearby, then this is not a reason for violating the order established by the rules.

Ways to identify violators:

  1. various complexes for automatically recording violations:
      stationary - the most advanced (“arrow”, “gyrfalcon”, “auto patrol”, etc.);
  2. mobile systems - quickly installed in the right place;
  3. mobile - work in motion mode (for example, parking lots)
  4. any conscientious citizen has every right to write a complaint to the traffic police and attach to it video recordings and photographs taken with any available device;
  5. highway patrol;

A car blocked the entrance to the yard: what to do

If a car has blocked the entrance to the yard for another car, you should do something to eliminate the problem within the limits of the law:

  • First, talk to its owner to remove the vehicle. Sometimes this situation is forced, short-term, and the driver disturbing others leaves a note with his phone number on the windshield of the car. You can rock or gently kick the car to set off the alarm. Then there is a chance that the owner will quickly show up himself.

entrance to the yard

  • If there is no response or it is impossible to find the driver, call the traffic police. You need to explain the situation, give the address and name the registration number of the car blocking the road. The inspector will contact its owner, and it will be easy for the police to find his phone number. If unsuccessful, the traffic police will call a tow truck. The car that has become an obstacle will be removed to a special parking lot. Moreover, its owner will pay for the movement and location of the vehicle there.

If a motorist is blocked from entering the courtyard of the building where he has an apartment, this is illegal, and you need to deal with the homeowners association. It does not have the right to deprive the property owner of the opportunity to enter the territory that is common to all residents of the house. This norm is established by clause 5 of Article 16 of the Law “On the Entry into Force of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation”:

From the moment the land plot is formed and its state cadastral registration is carried out, the land plot on which the apartment building and other real estate objects included in such a building are located passes free of charge into the common shared ownership of the owners of the premises in the apartment building.

And also Article 262 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which states that people have the right to be on land plots that are not closed to public access and to use the objects located on them.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation considered a similar case, and the decision was made in favor of the one who was denied entry into the yard by the general meeting. If we are talking about the car of a person who does not live in an apartment building, if there is a legally installed barrier, they have the right to prohibit him from being in this adjacent territory.

There may be a “Do Not Occupy Entry” sign near the entrance to the area, and this requirement must be obeyed. The same designation is attached to gates that close the courtyards of private houses, and there it has the right to exist.

What does the residential zone sign mean: action, restrictions, fine for violation

Hi all! Drivers who have been trained in driving schools probably know about the Residential Zone sign. Although in practice, not everyone has encountered it, since in Russia it is used quite rarely. Nevertheless, it is spelled out in the traffic rules, and therefore exists.

Today we are talking about clause 5.21 in the traffic rules and what this sign means, what it prohibits and what restrictions it provides for drivers. I think many will be interested in reading the material. For some, it is simply important to know what the fine is for violating this rule.
