18.04.2021

Drivers - newcomers, successfully surrendered theoretical exam on knowledge of road rules (traffic rules), in practice, have difficulties in their application. The same problem is often peculiar and drivers who have solid experience beyond. After all, once the knowledge gained, how to behave on the road, what can be done, but it is impossible, forgotten with time.

And as a rule, the question "Is it possible here in general, parking?" Does not even flicker in consciousness.

Motorists park, as if for the first time got drove. By creating these problems for others, and practically guaranteed to themselves. But the traffic police do not sleep and evacuators, they have not yet been canceled in the country, they work properly. Therefore, before stopping, you should remember the rules, and then only decide whether it is possible to do this.

Based on traffic rules, if the driver decided to stop the vehicle, and stood less than 5 minutes, then such a maneuver is called "stop".

If the driver stopped moving to plant - plant passengers Either for unloading-download, then according to traffic rules, it is also a stop, but the time of its duration in this case is not regulated.

In other cases, the stopper executive stop will be considered a parking lot!

From this it follows that there, where the parking is prohibitedFor a long time to upload the contents of the trunk, then at the same speed, load back - violation will not be considered. The list of points where the stop and parking is prohibited is quite impressive, but it is necessary to know each driver. It will save money, time and, of course, nerves.

Moreover, it is necessary to not accidentally get the points of traffic rules, it will not give anything, but to understand the said in the state language.

Stop is prohibited:

  1. At stops intended for public transport and taxis.

So the bus, not attached to a specific route, The driver who does not have documents confirming, the legality of the mass transport of people cannot be considered public transport. Therefore, all restrictions apply to it, according to the rules of stopping at the stop of public transport.

Even if the bus is filled with people, but not routing (watch or service), then the driver can stop at the bus stops as well as the usual (non-primary) transport.

From the rules of the road, it follows that the territory on which it is forbidden to stop Vehicles, includes the stop itself, designated by the "Stop public transport" and fifteen meter plot before and the same site after it.

Border from which 15 meters countsdetermined by the sign warning that this is a bus stop (trolleybus) or route taxis. If there is no such sign, the countdown is directly from the applied markup, indicating the place of stopping public transport.

Fifteen meter zone is counted and on other parties. This means that if the distance to the vehicle parked opposite the bus stop is less than 15 meters, then the driver faces a fine and possible evacuation of the vehicle.

Such a zone is allocated not in order to complicate the life of drivers ordinary transport. Sustainment, this is the place of cluster of people from the roadway, and therefore hilarious. There is a busy movement. Drive up, drive off, trolley buses, taxis. If every driver who wants to stop for some kind of need, will put his car here, it will create problems.

Buses will have to make additional maneuversto drive up to the stop. The standing machine will interfere with people when landing, disembarking, which can lead to an accident.

Therefore, the stop at the site of the public transport stop is prohibited categorically.

There is one exception, when the stop is committed In order to plant passengers or, on the contrary, for landing them. But what is important is to create interference for other vehicles and pedestrians, is considered a violation.

  1. On the tramways and in close proximity to them, too, it is forbidden to stop if the tram movement will be created.

On "If" pay attention is not worth paying, because the tram may appear at any time, which means that the car standing on the ways will be a hindrance for him.

Is it possible to park on abandoned tramways?

Even if the tram cray has long rusted, it is not worth risking with a stop. And what if it is at that moment, someone will decide to put the tram on this branch?

  1. On railway crossings, in tunnels, on overpars, bridges, overpasses, and under them.

But there is a significant reservation. If the road has two bands, Going, in one direction, the stop is allowed without restrictions.

  1. If the vehicle has accomplished a stop, and the remaining distance to the opposite edge of the road, or the separation strip, or the solid markup line is less than three meters, then such a stop is prohibited. Three meters should remain, to ensure a unimpeded trace.
  2. At the pedestrian crossing, and the five-meter zone, before marking - Zebra.

Five meters help to see the entire pedestrian crossing. If the car was stood in this zone, then the part of the transition remained invisible, and could lead to the tragedy.

You can stop, without reaching five meters before the transition.


With the exception of one case. If the intersection T-shaped, the stop is permitted opposite the exit from the road, which is considered to be adjacent. And then only in the case when the main road is divided into a solid line of marking or a separation strip separating from each other by car flows of different directions.

  1. In areas of the road, where visibility is limited:
    • immediately before a dangerous turn;
    • if the road is the rise of the mountain, on the hill, etc., and the visibility is limited and does not exceed 100 meters. That is, there is no visible moving transport rising on the other side of the mountain or hill.

Explanation of restriction is simple. Passing a steep turn, or overturning through the top of the steep hill, the driver does not see the continuation of the roadparked by turning the car. This may cause a serious accident.

  1. If the vehicle, its dimensions (for example, having an indoor body, or a booth) limits the overview for other drivers.

The machine lights up the traffic light, or road signs.

  1. If the car overlaps entering the departure.

Create a risk of formation for other participants in the movement, or will interfere with pedestrian movements.

  1. On the band highlighted for the movement of bicycles.

No parking:

  1. In places where the stop is prohibited. It is logical, if you can not even stop, then there is no speech about the parking lot.
  2. On the roadway, beyond settlements, if the "Home" road indicated by the corresponding sign. On such roads, the parking is allowed only on the sidelines.
  3. 3. Closer 50 meters from railway moves. The distance is 50 meters, before moving, designated by the corresponding signs.

In addition to the above items, the parking is prohibited in places where signs prohibiting stopping, parking or just parking are installed.

The main thing should remember that if the limitations of the signs are not explained by the signsThe sign of the sign is preserved until the first intersection. If there is no intersection on the way, the prohibition is preserved until the end of the settlement.

It is also important not to forget that if the road sign stands on the right side of the road, it acts exactly right when to the left, respectively - on the left. That is, if the road has a one-sided movement, and on the right side, the "Parking is prohibited" is installed, then on the left side of the road, this restriction is not valid.

PDD also explains

Where and how to park vehicles


What kind of types of transport is allowed such parking, and the method of its location is explained by signs located under the sign "Parking". Outside the settlement, the parking is allowed only on specially equipped areas for this. If there are no such, it is possible to stop for the parking lot outside the road.

Forced stop in prohibited places

Stop is considered forced if:

  • there was a technical breakdown of a vehicle capable of creating a threat to the driver or passengers, and will also represent a potential danger to other TCs;
  • the obstacle on the road carries a potential danger;
  • transferred cargo may cause a dangerous situation;
  • driver or passengers have a health problem.

With a forced stop, where it is prohibited, the driver must take all possible measures to remove the vehicle from there. It should be noted that during the stop, traffic rules are prohibited to open the doors of the carIf this may interfere with other participants of the movement.

And, the main rule of parking is "the driver, leaving his place, is obliged to take all necessary measures to ensure that its vehicle does not specify spontaneously, as well as provide its safety."

In conclusion, I want to remind that penalties for violations of the rules of stop and parking can be from 500 - 5000 rubles. And often the vehicle of the intruder is sent by the tow truck on the stradition.
