Finland signs. Roads in Finland
Important features of the rules of the road, which is useful to know when moving through the territory of Finland on its own vehicles.
Behavior
Finland is a country with a high level of road safety. Therefore, Finns suggest that all road users follow the rules and are not psychologically ready for the fact that anyone violates them or is unpredictable. It should be remembered to ensure safety yourself and others.
Road signs
Most road signs are identical to signs on the roads of Russia.
Seat belts
The use of seat belts is required both for drivers and for all passengers of private vehicles (front and rear seat passengers). When using a taxi, you are also required to fasten the seat belts. The only exception to this rule is a disease or injury that does not allow you to fasten the safety belt.
Pedestrians
In Finland, pedestrians firmly know their rights. Therefore, at the entrance to a pedestrian crossing, the driver must respect special caution.
The driver is obliged to ensure the unhindered transition of the road to a pedestrian, which is or just entered into a pedestrian crossing (Zebra). For this, the driver must reduce the speed and be ready to stay before a pedestrian crossing.
If the driving vehicle (car or, for example, tram) stopped before a pedestrian crossing or closes the visibility of the transition, do not pass the transition without stopping, if there is no placement of safety or free strip of movement between you and overtook the car.
If the driver violated this rule, i.e. I did not stop when overtaking the car, who stopped before a pedestrian crossing, the police could impose a fine and, in addition, to deprive the driver of the driving of the car in Finland.
How to use Farams
Middle Light of the car headlamp should be included at any time of the day.
Far light headlights are prohibited to use on the illuminated road, as well as close to the distance from the oncoming or ahead of the running machine to avoid blinding its driver.
Front and rear fog lights are allowed to include only with fog, strong rain or snowfall.
Cellular telephone
In accordance with the legislation of Finland while driving, the driver has the right to use a cell phone only with the help of the headset "Hands-Free", which allows you to talk on the phone without holding it in your hand. All automotive cellular kits that do not occupy the driver's hands are allowed to use.
Distance
Riding "Bumper in Bumper" is a dangerous driving manner, common in Finland. It contributes to creating an emergency situation and increases the psychological burden on ahead of the driver.
A safe distance is about two seconds in front of the running machine, and in difficult weather-climatic conditions - even more. Remember that at a speed of 80 km / h car over two seconds overcomes the distance of 45 meters.
In order to avoid collisions, the police controls the distance between vehicles.
Overtaking
Make overtaking ahead of the car of the car always on the left. If ahead of the car showed a signal to the left or rebuilt for turning to the left, it can be overtaken on the right.
Before starting the overtaking, make sure that overtaking can be made safely.
It is prohibited to overtaking on areas with a solid yellow separation line or under insufficient visibility.
Public transport
Within the territory where the speed limit is not more than 60 km / h, the motorist is obliged to give way to driving off the label to the bus stop. Road rules oblige drive away from the bus stop turn on the turn signal, but not always urban buses do it.
In the city, the city of riding the movement of public transport (buses and trams), indicated by road signs, is allowed only when the driver is rebuilt for turn.
At the intersections should skip the tram.
Movement on a circular junction and alarm
Drivers entering a circular junction must give way to road signs and move in the direction indicated by signs. At the entrance to the circular junction, the signal is not served.
The signal signal is fed when the strip of movement is shifted on large circular junctions, as well as when leaving a circular junction.
The signal signal is always fed when starting from the place of the road, when turning at the intersection and when changing the strip of movement.
Driving a car in a state of intoxication
The driver is prohibited to control the vehicle in a state of alcoholic, narcotic or other intoxication. The driver, in the blood of which the alcohol content is at least 0.5 ppm or 0.2 mg / l when measuring the alkalome from exhaled air, is punishable by a fine or imprisonment for up to six months.

For exceeding the permissible speed of no more than 20 km / h, a fine of 115 euros is imposed on the driver. With greater exceeding the permissible speed, the penalty is at least 115 euros.
A large speed exceeding is considered to be a serious offense in Finland, the consequence of which can be a ban on driving a car.
The driver exceeding the allowed speed is 40 km / h, and in certain cases and less is considered guilty of coarse negligence. In such situations, the police deprives the driver of the right to control the vehicle. In case of violation of traffic rules by a foreign driver, the duration of the prohibition is determined by the police officer at the place of violation.
The driver, a leading car, for example, at a speed of 154 km / h where the road signs of 80 km / h is established, is considered guilty of a rough violation of the rules of the road and creating a danger to road traffic. The violation is considered rude even with less exceeding speed, if it combined with other violations, creating a serious threat to life or the health of other people. In such situations, the police are withdrawn by a driver's license and conveys a case to court. The punishment measures and the duration of the ban on driving a vehicle are established by the court.

A police officer, a customs officer or a border guard is entitled to confiscate Antiradar at its owner.

The driver of the mechanical vehicle must provide technical service and the corresponding equipment of its vehicle.
A police officer, a customs officer or border guards have the right to check the vehicle on the road and may prohibit its operation due to the unsatisfactory technical condition.

For a small violation of traffic rules, the police may impose a fine for an administrative offense in the amount of 115 euros. Such a fine is imposed, for example, for exceeding the speed of no more than 20 km / h or for non-use of the seat belt.
For more serious violations of the rules of the road traffic, the police imposes a sub-penalty, the size of which depends on the severity of the offense and wages (income) is punishable. Such a fine is imposed, for example, for exceeding speed more than 20 km / h or for dangerous overtaking.
The fine must be paid within one month, and the penalty for the administrative offense is within a two-week time through the bank in Finland or through the Consulate of Finland in Russia (it is necessary to remember that in this case the amount of the fine will increase by 50 euros). The penalty for the administrative offense can be appealed in the court of first instance (the name of the court is indicated on the penalty form). A sub-penalty, proportional to income, can be appealed to the prosecutor's office, the address of which is indicated on the blank of the fine.

Service Station
Usually open from 07.00 to 21.00 on weekdays and on Saturdays, and on Sundays work on shortened graphics. At many service stations, gasoline is sold 24 hours a day, some of them have a cafe.
Gasoline and diesel

The 98th cannon gasoline contains additives that allow it to be used for vehicles specifically not intended for non-price gasoline. Gasoline for cars with a catalyst is sold from pumps with a green refueling gun. Filling gun black - for diesel.
Automatic benzocolones
In Finland, Neste, Shell, Esso, Venko and Teboil benzocoltics work. The benzocolones in Finland differ little from the Russian. Use them extremely simple. But some subtleties still have. Only at the largest stations cars are refilled by employees. On most gas station - self-service. They work around the clock, and gasoline is somewhat cheaper. Payment is made at the checkout or through the machine. Some of the cash maintenance gas station at night are operating in automatic refueling mode. At stations, as a rule, cafes and shops work. Here you can find a taxone. Many benzocolones are equipped with washers (PESU) and small auto repair shops (HUOLTO). On the highway, the benzokolontics are found not often. Sometimes the distance between them reaches 100 km. So, if you have fallen a "gasoline" light bulb, do not risk - refine on the closest refueling. You can import a full tank of gasoline and 1 declined canister in Finland from Russia.
Parkovka
Bans on stop and parking are practically identical to the Russian traffic rules (on pedestrian and cycling paths, pedestrian transitions, and also at a distance of less than 5 meters to a pedestrian crossing or crossing with a cycleway; at intersections, as well as at a distance of less than 5 meters to the intersection; if The visibility of road signs or traffic lights is created; in places where the road is divided into several bands, in such a way that it makes it difficult to move in stripes; without payment in paid parking; next to the solid separation line, if the distance from the machine to the solid line is less than 3 meters and There is no intermittent line between the machine and the solid line).

First of all, all the rules are the same as we. With the exception of the ring. The ring has a limited place, because the advantage has transport on the ring always. Do not forget always have included near light And always fastened belts.
As for the belts, it is not clear to me - why people are ready to pay good money for the airbag, which when a collision hits you in the face, and already present security belts ignore that make the airbag as efficient as possible.
They hold the passenger on the spot and only the pillow beats in the face, and not the passenger beats about her as well.
And holding the passenger, helps the pillow to get into the face and protect it, and not minimize the neck. Busy bus Always has an advantage. Bus drivers cannot show the turn signal. Solid yellow markup line in the middle Road means that overtaking is prohibited.
Penalties
Fines are very high, even for a slight disorder.For anyone over speed Within 20 km / h Fine in € 115 or even deprivation of driver's license.

Memo of the Finnish authorities about the rules of road traffic in Russian
Middle Light Headlights must be included at any time of the day.
In Russia, the headlights blink motorists in order to prevent traffic cops on the highway, in Finland - to prevent deer and elms on the roads. "If you have seen a deer near the road, warn other motorists, blinking the front and rear headlights. Immediately reduce the speed and try to keep the car on your lane. If the animal moves along the road, try to drive it around. It should be remembered that after the deer, his cubs can go, "the transport security agency advises.
Especially great opportunity to face the road with animals in the dark time. Relax becomes harder with poor visibility conditions during rain or low sun.

The permitted speed of movement in the settlements is 50 km / h, beyond - 80 km / h. The speed can be limited to 40 or 30 km / h (sign on a square yellow plate). The restriction acts throughout the settlement to another sign that cancels it (and not to the crossroads).
It is necessary to give way to a bus departing from stopping, cyclists and pedestrians at a pedestrian crossing.

Alcoholic test should not show more 0.5 promilblood alcohol content (punishment - withdrawal of rights, fine, possibly imprisonment), or 0,225 mg / l.
PROMILLE translation table in mg \\ l in ppm
0.1 PROMILL - 0.045 mg / l
0.2 PROMILL - 0.09 mg / l and so on
This formula is useful for independent recalculation, because different alkotorests issue testimony in different values.
If the car broke, it is necessary to immediately establish an emergency stop sign ("red triangle") 100-200 meters from the hood and take measures to ensure that the car does not have interference to move another transport, especially on the motorway. Mind of headlights and emergency light should be included. On the side of the motorways, repair is prohibited, it is necessary to remove the car with the roadway as quickly as possible (call the tow truck, since the towing on the motorway is prohibited).
Violations
Road police are rare, but traffic violations can fix the chambers installed along the tracks (sign - the camera on the yellow square), the speed measurements in some places are automatically produced.

Road Features in Finland
If you go on a trip to your own car, then you need to take into account all the features that are characteristic of the Finnish roads. First of all, pay attention to the fact that there are many branched roads where hard control over the speed of vehicle movement on them is carried out. In most cases, limiting the speed of transport, which moves on the settlement, is 50 km / h. It is also necessary to remember that most of the highways have installed special chambers that carry out tracking the moving vehicles. The penalty will have to pay even for a slight speed. No matter how in the yard the time of day, the driver is simply obliged to use the near light headlights. If you go to Finland in the winter, then it is necessary to change the rubber on the car on the winter, regardless of whether there is spikes or not.

Introduction of the "electronic queue" on the border crossing of Vaalimaa
From January 19, 2015, all passenger vehicles following Finland to Russia through the Border Transition of Vaalimaa (Vaalimaa) may pre-register with the electronic queue to pass the border. It was planned that the service would be mandatory, but in connection with a decrease in the tourist flow, this decision was postponed indefinitely.
For freight vehicles, this service (Goswift) has already been enacted from December 15, 2014 and is mandatory.
According to the project organizers, this will reduce the "live" queues and increase the bandwidth of customs points.
The main motto of this service is planning\u003e Book\u003e pass. It is understood that at home, in a relaxed atmosphere, you can plan the time of passage of the boundary. After that, book this time by phone or via the Internet. And then to the appointed hour to come to the border control zone and calmly go through the border.
To go through the border with the old way, without booking, will also be available. But it can take longer, because Preference will be given to those who booked time in advance.
This system has been working for several years in Estonia on the border with Russia. But unlike Estonia, where the use of this system has to pay, in Finland it will be free.
Experimental for passenger transport was discontinued due to small passenger traffic. You can find more details on the website www.evpa.fi .
