It is now common practice to fine motorists who violate road rules, up to the seizure of vehicles at a parking lot. Parking in front of a pedestrian crossing is often incorrect. In the traffic rules there is a ban on stopping in the area of a pedestrian crossing. For violation of this rule, they are brought to administrative responsibility. Drivers need to be aware of the peculiarities of stopping at such signs.

Basic concepts

The basic concepts are contained in the SDA. Parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is also carried out according to these standards. A parking maneuver is called a maneuver in which movement is deliberately stopped for a period of not more than 5 minutes. The reason may be the disembarkation of passengers or the unloading of the car.

Stop - the termination of movement, during which disembarkation or embarkation, loading or unloading occurs. Since usually parking near a pedestrian crossing is carried out for disembarking passengers, such an action is illegal. It is necessary to stop only if the view of other drivers and pedestrians is not obstructed.

How to park correctly?

In the traffic rules there is no clear concept of what parking a car is. But there is a term parking lot with special signs warning about when it can be and when not. There is one chapter for this. It also spelled out how parking is carried out in front of the pedestrian crossing.

Parking - stopping the car for more than 5 minutes near the side of the road or in a special area. When choosing a place, you need to familiarize yourself with the section of the road where the stop will be made for a long period, and also check if there are no signs prohibiting this. It is important for drivers to follow the simple rules of the culture when parking so that there are no conflicts with other motorists.

Seat selection

If there are no signs showing where to park, the driver must use the traffic rules. Transport cannot be stopped:

near or on them;
on highways or railway crossings;
in tunnels and on overpasses;
at a pedestrian crossing;
on roads with heavy traffic.

The exception is an accident with the driver, due to which he was forced to stop in a prohibited place, as well as in the event of an accident and the need to disembark or board passengers. In the latter situation, a stop is allowed, provided that safety rules are observed and there is no risk of an accident. In order not to violate traffic rules, you need to know how many meters parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is allowed.

Typically, road areas with signs have complex traffic that is not suitable for braking a car. Drivers need to remember that almost everywhere where parking is prohibited, it is not allowed to stop the car.

Distance to pedestrian crossing

How many meters is parking in front of the pedestrian crossing allowed? The car can only be stopped at a distance of at least 5 meters before it. The distance is calculated from the pedestrian sign to the vehicle. If there is no sign, then you need to focus on the zebra, from which the countdown begins.

It should be remembered that there are additional parking rules that prohibit parking. You cannot stop at the crossing itself, on road markings (zebra crossing), on sections separated by continuous markings (no more than 3 meters). All drivers need to remember how much parking in front of a pedestrian crossing is allowed by law.

Parking rules

Parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is permitted. Is it possible to stop the car after it? This is allowed by the rules. Stopping will be legal, provided that there are no other signs on this territory of the road that prohibit parking or stopping.

This rule also applies to the opposite side of the road, where you can stop only after crossing. If the crossing is located after the intersection, then the driver must drive from 5 meters. This is required for safety and elimination of accidents.

Fine

When stopping at a crossing or close to it, administrative liability is provided. This is indicated in Art. 12.19 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation. The traffic police inspector applies several measures to the violator. First, an offense report is drawn up. The fine for parking in front of a pedestrian crossing at a prohibited distance is 1,000 rubles.

Often inspectors make a decision on why a report on the arrest of the car is drawn up. These costs are also borne by the driver. You will need to pay for a tow truck, transportation and the time while the transport is at the parking lot. This will be expensive for the driver, so choosing the right place to stop is the best solution. It is desirable that parking in front of the pedestrian crossing is carried out as far from it as possible.

It is wiser to drive through some section and stop the car after crossing. Then the driver will avoid administrative liability. In large cities with busy traffic, it is difficult to find a suitable stopping place. If there was a forced parking in front of the sign "Pedestrian crossing" at a prohibited distance, then the car must be rolled back to the permitted place, put an emergency sign and turn on the appropriate signals.

Such actions will not allow the appointment of a fine. These are the features of the prohibition of stopping and parking cars. Often there are ambiguous situations, but still, drivers must strictly follow the rules and leave vehicles only where it is supposed to, so that it does not interfere with other cars.

Parking near stops

It is necessary to know not only the parking rules in front of the pedestrian crossing, but also near the bus stops. Drivers are often stopped by traffic police officers due to improper parking. But this leads to a fine, evacuation. But many drivers are not deterred by such measures. Often motorists stop at Is it supposed to be? All drivers should know the answer to this question.

The traffic rules say that you can stop near a bus or trolleybus stop at a distance of at least 15 meters before and after it. An exception is an emergency, when, for example, passengers are boarding or disembarking. Otherwise, the offender will be fined 1000 rubles.

Parking near traffic lights

It is necessary to take into account not only the rules (traffic rules) for parking in front of a pedestrian crossing, but also a stop near traffic lights. When the car is in the extreme right lane, the driver creates an obstacle for moving cars.

In cities in such areas, signs are usually installed, but in the absence of them, many drivers believe that it is possible to stop there. According to traffic rules, you can stop on the side of the road, so that it is at least 5 meters from the crossing. Large vehicles should not interfere with the visibility of traffic lights and the road.

Arrangement of the car near the railway crossing

According to traffic regulations, parking at railway crossings is prohibited. But we often have to stop near him. How to do this in order not to break the rules, and also not to create a dangerous situation?

Traffic rules do not allow parking on the tracks, as well as at a distance of less than 50 meters to the railway crossing. Therefore, you can immediately select a stop or go through the crossing. If the crossing is blocked by a barrier, then there is no need to risk it: it is closed before the movement of the train.

Parking culture

There are more and more cars in Russia, but there is nowhere to put them. The delivered cars annoy many drivers, therefore it is necessary to observe the unspoken parking norms. Transport should not be placed:

On the sidewalks. According to the traffic rules, there must be at least 2 meters for the movement of pedestrians.
On the zebra. Because of such a parking lot, there may be an accident.
To occupy 2 parking spaces at the same time, since the car was not collided.
With a short distance. Side-by-side parking can damage the bumpers.
In flower beds and green spaces.
Near the bus exit, as transport can become an obstacle to the rest of the transport.
With a small interval. Then there will be difficulties to get out of the next car.

It is important to follow the rules, taking into account the rights of other drivers.

Why do you need parking and car parks?

Parking lots and car parks are necessary to make life easier for car owners. If the driver is not a chauffeur, then he cannot drive the car all day. While a person does not need transport, he must be in a specially designated place. The car should not cause inconvenience to other cars.

Transport can be left in the car park. If it is absent, you need to look for a parking space. Parking lots always help out when you need to leave the vehicle for a while. In large cities, they are free and paid.

Not all drivers purchase a garage with the purchase of a car. In this case, the private parking lots, which are located everywhere, will help. Such territories are protected. It is possible to conclude an agreement on the protection of transport, so that the company is fully responsible for the safety of the property.

Before choosing a parking lot, you need to see if there are video cameras there, if the guards check the documentation. In the absence of these nuances, you should not contact such a company. You should not buy a place for a month, it is advisable to choose first for a few days. If the work of the company is satisfactory, then you can continue to use the services of the company.

It is advisable to purchase parking spaces near the house. If the transport will stand in the right place, then no one has the right to fine the driver.

When purchasing a vehicle, in most cases, a person already has a driver's license in his hands, respectively, you can be sure that he is fully familiar with the traffic rules and he already has driving experience. However, practice shows that, when sitting behind the wheel for the first time, difficulties arise for a beginner not as a result of driving a vehicle. It is sometimes difficult for a novice driver where it is allowed to park. Desperate, he notices the first free space that comes into his field of vision, but not knowing whether it is possible to park in this particular place or not, he nevertheless decides to stop.

Unfortunately, such stops often lead to unpleasant "surprises". If there are road inspection officers nearby or surveillance cameras are installed in this place, the owner of an improperly parked vehicle will be fined for an administrative offense committed by him. If you stop in such a way that your car begins to act as an obstacle to the safe movement of other road users, your car can be taken by a tow truck to the penalty area. For this reason, experienced drivers recommend that you theoretically study the parking rules carefully, and then follow them almost flawlessly.

Basic parking rules

By the way, sometimes the main problem is the gap in the knowledge of motorists regarding such concepts as "stopping" and "parking". These two concepts, indeed, at first glance, have a lot in common, but nevertheless there are distinctive features. The stop is made for a minimum period of time, no more than five minutes. In some cases, this time interval may be higher, but at the same time the concept of "stopping" will still apply to the car. At the same time, there must be supporting facts in the form of prolonged unloading or loading of things, disembarkation or embarkation of passengers.

If there is a need to ensure the parking of the car for a longer time, then it will already be a question of parking, respectively, it must already obey the rules prescribed in the traffic rules.

Why you need to follow the parking rules

If you carefully study the traffic rules, figure out where you can't park, and where you can stop without any problems, regardless of the total amount of time during which your car will be completely immobilized, then you will protect yourself from unpleasant communication with traffic inspectors and payment of unforeseen fines.

And also observance of not only traffic rules, but also parking will save your vehicle from damage. An incorrectly stopped "iron comrade" is sometimes simply ready to be torn apart by passers-by. It is unlikely that you will get a lot of positive if you suddenly find scratches on the surface of the car, broken or cracked glass. And also another vehicle parked in the same place, only a little earlier than you, can harm your car.

If your car has actually blocked another vehicle and therefore prevents it from leaving, an angry and terribly rushing driver may simply push your car out, providing a kind of "hello" mark on its body as a terrible dent. By the way, in this case, even filming the situation on a CCTV camera, DVR will not help you get compensation for such damage. Administrative responsibility rests with the driver who parked his car incorrectly.

Where can I park

To find out the answer to your question regarding parking rules, you should carefully read Section 12 of the traffic rules. You can only stop on the right side of the carriageway near the side of the road. If you really want to show your "uniqueness" and stop on the left side by the side of the road, then in the traffic rules you will find such permission, but with some restrictions. Indeed, you can stop your car at the left side of the road, but only if the road has one lane and is one-way. And also tram rails should not be present on it.

In some cases, it is also possible to park next to the sidewalk, it is important to find specially installed road signs permitting such actions. In particular, a large blue square with a white English letter P indicates that vehicles are allowed to park in the area. At the same time, it does not hurt at all to pay attention to the additional accompanying sign, placed in most cases below the main sign. It will show how exactly parking should be carried out:

with a stop at the side of the road;
with the collision of the right wheels to the side of the road;
with a drive in completely to a part of the side of the road;
other.

If the surrounding space you are interested in is not accompanied by permits, but at the same time you do not see signs prohibiting parking, then you can act at your own discretion, unfortunately, sometimes you have to take risks if you are not careful enough.

Ban on stopping the vehicle

If you come across a sign on your way, which is a blue circle with a red frame and a red line diagonally, know that it forbids you to stop in this place. Sometimes this sign can have some additions. In the center there may be a white Roman numeral I or II. In the first case, the sign prohibits stopping on odd days of the month, and in the second case, on even ones.

It is forbidden to park on the sidewalk. Passenger cars are allowed in some cases, but under one important condition. If the vehicle stops on the sidewalk, but, in spite of this, there is at least one meter of free space for the unhindered movement of pedestrians, then such a stop is allowed, the driver of the car will not have any negative consequences. If the sidewalk is narrow, you should not park on it.

If you are driving a car on a main road outside the village, then we also do not recommend you to make a stop, since such actions are also prohibited by traffic rules. You cannot choose a parking space that is a short distance from a railway crossing. If there is a need to make a stop in this case, then stop 50 meters before the crossing or after driving 50 meters after it.

Of course, it is forbidden to stop at a tram stop or on the tracks, and it is also forbidden for a car to stand next to them, especially if the vehicle interferes with other vehicles to move safely.

If there is a public transport stop nearby, you should stop your transport at a distance of at least 15 meters from it. You should also drive off at least five meters from the pedestrian crossing, or do not reach it if you need to stop at this place.

Under the complete ban, as a result of which it is prohibited in any case to slow down and be at any time, places fall at an intersection, near a sharp turn or rise.

If you really need to know how many meters you need to drive from the intersection to be able to park, you need to read the traffic rules again. We are ready to inform you immediately so that you do not waste time searching. Drive at least five meters from the intersection before stopping your vehicle.

Of course, it is strictly forbidden to drive, and even more so to park in the oncoming lane, since such actions provoke an emergency. The ban also includes places located near road signs. By stopping vehicles near them, you unwittingly create an obstacle for the early detection of signs by other road users, thereby again provoking emergency situations.

If it is very important for you to park your car inside the yard space, there are also some additional requirements to consider. In particular, transport must not be stopped at a distance of less than 10 meters from the entrance to the entrance, store. And also the distance limitation applies to stopping near garbage containers. In this case, the distance from them to the vehicle must be at least 5 meters.

There are also other prohibitions regarding parking. In particular, the vehicle is not allowed to stay for more than five minutes with the engine running. Otherwise, residents living in this entrance have every right to call the appropriate services or record the fact that you have violated the parking rules in the yard. This will, of course, be followed by administrative responsibility and the imposition of fines on you.

If you drive a personal vehicle and you are interested in near your home and place of work, then in most cases such a problem will be solved by you for the very first time, on all subsequent days you will act along the path already beaten by you. It's a different matter when you are driving a taxi, in this case you do not know the area where the call came from, so you have to park the taxi while the passengers go down and take their places in the cabin. To prevent road inspection officers from being able to fine taxi drivers for incorrect parking of a taxi, it is recommended that drivers also strictly comply with all the requirements prescribed in section 12. The only exceptions are places accompanied by the sign "Taxi stand", in this case drivers of private vehicles do not have the right to apply for vacant parking spots, but taxis can freely use such an additional benefit for themselves.

Punishment for an administrative offense

Many drivers have already experienced the consequences of improper parking, when after that they had to enter into an unpleasant dialogue with road inspectors, and then pay the assigned fines. You should not blindly follow those drivers who often say convincingly such phrases: "I park where I want and how I want." Such actions cannot go unpunished indefinitely. Sooner or later, the driver will come to the attention of law enforcement officers and it will be impossible to avoid punishment. It is for this reason that we recommend that you follow the stopping and parking rules. We also advise you to study the question of what penalties are imposed on drivers of vehicles that have been parked in a prohibited place.

Penalties

Within the city limits, on the square, on the streets, you can find places where parking is allowed. Such drivers must necessarily have supporting documents with them. If not the driver is disabled, but the passenger, then the driver must have special permits. In the event that a car is found at such a privileged parking lot, the driver of which does not have such a privileged right, a fine may be imposed on him, the amount of which reaches 3-5 thousand rubles.

If for some reason you stopped at a railway crossing, you will have to pay a fine in the amount of one thousand rubles. In the event of a gross or repeated violation of this rule, the driver's license may be withdrawn for at least six months.

For non-observance of parking rules, the amount of the fine may differ depending on the locality, region, this administrative offense was committed. Interested in what sums you will have to say goodbye to, we draw your attention to the fact that the minimum fine will be equal to five hundred rubles for such an offense. If such a fact is recorded in the capital, five hundred rubles will not be enough, you will have to pay about two and a half thousand rubles.

The driver will be assigned to pay a fine of about one and a half thousand rubles, for a similar violation in the capital you will have to fork out twice as much.

The consequences will be much more deplorable if the driver not only chose a place that is prohibited from parking, but also by such actions the driver created obstacles for the safe movement of other road users, then the vehicle takes a tow truck and transports it to the penalty area. In this case, the driver will have to pay a fine for incorrect parking, calling a tow truck, keeping the vehicle in the penalty area. The amount will turn out to be quite impressive, so do not rush to leave your car without making sure that you are parking correctly.

Some drivers are willing to argue that it was simply impossible to find a free parking space. However, such heated debate will lead nowhere. It is recommended that such drivers worry about booking a place in a paid parking lot. In this case, it is possible not only to avoid penalties, but also to be completely calm for your car, since it will be in a safe place under protection.

So, when purchasing a vehicle, you should carefully study all sections of the traffic rules, there is no superfluous information in them. If you ignore the study of the section in which all the parking rules are spelled out, you should expect a "meeting" with unpleasant situations, followed by disastrous consequences. Those who strictly adhere to the requirements for making short stops or long parking will never receive "letters of happiness", which indicate tidy sums that plunge many drivers into shock.

Hello friends! A recent curiosity on the road made not only me, but all other drivers speechless and stared at what was happening in a daze.

On a rather busy section of the road, one of the cars suddenly stopped, and passengers began to get out of it - a woman with a baby carriage, an elderly grandmother, a boy ...

I don’t know what exactly happened and why the urge to urgently leave the car, but for such tricks, in fact, a serious fine is due.

I'm not even saying that such an act seriously threatens the health of both the "risky guys" and the passing motorists.

Remembering this incident, I, Evgeny Borisov, propose a new topic for conversation - where and when stopping and parking are prohibited. Are there any exceptions? What if "desperately needed"? Amount of fines?

We are passing by!

If you look through the brochure with traffic rules, it is easy to notice that paragraph 12-4, listing the places where stopping and parking of vehicles is prohibited, is large enough, so I will not pull the cat by the tail. Let's get started!

Prohibitory signs

Apart from the cases that I list below, there are separate signs. And this is where the confusion begins. Parking under the stop sign is prohibited? Certainly!

After all, before you park the car, you must stop. But the sign prohibiting parking does not mean at all that it is impossible to slow down in this place.

On a note! Let's not forget about even-odd days, when you cannot leave a car under a sign: one white stick - you cannot park a car on odd, two - on even.

The action of the signs begins from the place of their placement to the nearest intersection / settlement. The sign works only on the side of the road on which it is installed.

In addition, the end of the prohibition can be indicated by duplicate signs:

a short arrow indicating the number of meters during which the sign works;
long arrow;
or a special sign indicating the end of the zone of any restrictions.

Tram rails

The rules say that you cannot stop if the car becomes an obstacle for others - cars, trains, etc.

This is clear. And if the railway line is abandoned?

Even if every day passing by you have never seen a train rushing along it, this does not mean that the rules are canceled - you still cannot stop on such tracks.

Another situation is also possible. Ahead - a traffic jam, behind - indignant drivers honking. The only way to move forward slightly is to get onto the railroad tracks.

You can't do that! You should wait until after the rails there is room for your car, and only then cross the tracks.

Tunnels, bridges, overpasses, overpasses

It is also impossible to stop at these structures if the road has one or two lanes for traffic (on wider ones, it is permissible). Not sure if you know what is the difference between an overpass and a bridge?

The bridge is built over a body of water, and an overpass is built over any non-water obstacle. The overpass is part of the overpass, but everything is clear with the tunnel.

Narrow road with and without markings

If you want to park at the side of a narrow road, you can do this only if the distance from the car to the solid carriageway in the center of the carriageway or to the opposite side of the road is at least 3 meters.

This width is needed so that other cars can go around the obstacle in the form of your "swallow".

Crosswalk

It is prohibited to stop in the zone of action of the "Pedestrian crossing" sign:

directly on the "zebra";
closer than 5 meters to it.

That is, if you see a pedestrian crossing in front of you, then you pass and 5 meters after it you can already park. These rules are written so that with your car you do not turn a pedestrian into an invisible person for other motorists.

Zero visibility

You cannot stop in the middle of the carriageway if:

saw signs 1-11-1 or 1-11-2, which warn of a dangerous turn;
leaving the lowland;
the road is visible for less than a hundred meters.

On a note! A short respite on the sidelines in such conditions will not be a crime.

Crossroads / adjacent areas

It is absolutely impossible to stop at the crossroads. Moreover, parking closer than 5 meters to them is also prohibited.

An exception is the shoulder opposite the side passage of a 3-way intersection with a solid line.

Do yard exits fall under this rule? No. But in order not to become a hindrance to those who rush to go home for lunch or return tired from work, it is better to park the car also 5 meters before the turn.

City transport stop

It is allowed to brake 15 meters before the special markings that outline the boundaries of the stop.

We are talking not only about trolleybuses, buses and minibuses, but also about taxis. If there are no markings, then the footage is measured from the corresponding sign.

An exception is a short stop so that passengers can get out or get into the car, provided that there will be no inconvenience for drivers and pedestrians.

Important! 15 meters are measured not only by traffic, therefore, it is prohibited to park on the narrow road on the other side of the stop.

Concluding the conversation about where you can not brake, let me remind you that if a car obstructs a traffic light, a permanent or temporary road sign, an exit-entry or, in principle, prevents people from passing or driving, not only a stream of curses will fall on its owner's head, but also a fine will be issued ...

It is clear that parking problems force you to use any more or less free space, but do not choose the cycle path for this, which is indicated by signs 4-4-1 and 8-14.

This is also subject to a fine. As well as for a stop / parking in a disabled parking lot.

Where is parking prohibited?

A little discouraged by questions like "Is parking under the No Stopping sign allowed?"

Those looking for answers should call on logic to help - if you can't stop, then how can you leave a car in this place?

In my opinion, it is quite natural that no. For those who have learned the rules well, it is clear that in all cases where stopping is prohibited, parking is also not allowed (clause 12-5).

Important! If you are driving outside the city along the main road (sign 2-1), then you can stop only after leaving the road.

Is it possible to leave the car at a certain distance from the railway crossing? Closer than 50 km - it is impossible, in other cases the permissible distance is set by the sign:

50 meters - signs 1-1, 1-2, 1-4-3, 1-4-6;
from 50 to 100 meters - 1-1, 1-2, 1-4-2, 1-4-5;
more than 100 meters - 1-1, 1-2, 1-4.1, 1-4-4.

Violators - a fine!

Violating the rules of stopping-parking, you can get both a warning and a serious fine of 5 thousand rubles. (for parking on the site for cars of people with disabilities). Sums in other cases for example:

stopped at a pedestrian crossing or stop markings - pay a thousand;
drove out and stood on the railway tracks - one and a half;
stood in the middle of the carriageway - two.

We decided to take a break under a prohibiting sign, keep a receipt for fifteen hundred, and if you have committed such an offense in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the amount doubles.

I am sure that after studying the topic, you have no questions left with the rules of stopping and parking. Share your stories in the comments.

Tell us about the parking spaces in your yard. For reposting the article on the social network - a huge gratitude from the author. Good luck to everyone on the road!

Every year the traffic in megalopolises became more intensive, because the number of cars is steadily growing. When purchasing a new car, many do not even think about where they will park it, being sure that it is enough to leave it in the yard.

But this is an extremely important issue, not only from the point of view of disgruntled neighbors, but also from the point of view of the law. We often answer questions from car enthusiasts about how to legally park in the yard and what to avoid to avoid being punished fairly.

○ Parking rules in courtyards.

One should start by defining what this "courtyard territory" is. Immediately, we note that the Rules of the Road give an undesirable clear concept. At the same time, section 17, dedicated to traffic in residential areas, applies to courtyard areas, which is directly stated in paragraph 17.4:

"The requirements of this section also apply to courtyard areas."

Therefore, it remains only to be content with the general legal definition of a courtyard territory as a space bounded by buildings along the perimeter, inside which, as a rule, playgrounds, places for recreation, green spaces, local thoroughfares to houses, schools, kindergartens, etc. are located. But there is one a significant difference - it is not indicated by signs 5.21 (residential area) and 5.22 (end of the residential area), and therefore the driver needs to be careful and understand that otherwise all the rules of movement and parking of vehicles in the residential area apply here.

So clause 17.2 of the SDA clearly says:

"In the residential area, through traffic, training driving, parking with a running engine, as well as parking of trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons outside of specially designated and marked with signs and (or) markings are prohibited."

That is, the main and most frequent violation on this point is truck parking and parking with a running engine. The latter is especially true during the cold period for those who like to “warm up the engine”, polluting the environment and interfering with the sleep of the residents of adjacent houses.

It is worth paying attention to a few more important points regarding parking, which are relevant in courtyards. Clause 1.2 of the SDA defines a stop and a parking lot, which is very important because clause 17.2 speaks specifically about parking:

"" Stop "- a deliberate stopping of the movement of a vehicle for a period of up to 5 minutes, as well as for more, if it is necessary for boarding or disembarking passengers or loading or unloading a vehicle.
"Parking" - a deliberate stopping of the movement of a vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers or loading or unloading of the vehicle. "

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation has established additional parking bans, which also apply to courtyards. Usually the passages here are narrow, and therefore those who parked manage to interfere not only with the passage of other cars, but also ordinary pedestrians and mothers with strollers, let alone technical services. However, part 8 of Art. 20 .4 of the Administrative Code establishes a verticality for violation of fire safety rules. That is, if the abandoned car interferes with the passage of firefighters, one can prepare to pay a fine.

○ Fines for improper parking in the yard.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation also does not define the courtyard territory, but establishes responsibility for violation of traffic rules in a residential area in Art. 12.28 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation

"one. Violation of the rules established for the movement of vehicles in residential areas, with the exception of the case provided for in part 2 of this article, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred rubles... 2. The violation provided for in part 1 of this article, committed in a city of federal significance Moscow or St. Petersburg, - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of three thousand rubles.»

That is, if your car is found by a traffic police inspector, parked in violation of the above rules, you can prepare to pay a fine of 1000 rubles, and in capital cities and all 3000... Exactly the same will be punished for parking on the sidewalk in the yard, because often because of parked cars it is simply impossible to transport a baby carriage.

But the matter may not be limited to this. It must be admitted that the traffic police patrol the courtyards not so often, especially in small towns, but if something happened, the dangerous situation would be more serious. For example, in the event of a fire and the inability of a company car to pass through to a fire, a negligent motorist can apply Part 8 of Art. 20.4 Administrative Code:

“Violation of fire safety requirements on the provision of passages, driveways and entrances to buildings, structures and structures - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of from one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; for officials - from seven thousand to ten thousand rubles; for legal entities - from one hundred and twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand rubles. "

But this is possible only if the fire inspection records the violation, it will easily impose a fine of up to 2,000 rubles.

The yards are often equipped with green spaces, including lawns. Traffic rules or Code of Administrative Offenses do not contain a definition of a lawn or a fine for parking on it. These issues are decided by local authorities, determining the amount of the fine for such violations. In most cities, this amount is fixed, so in St. Petersburg an ordinary car owner will pay from 3000 to 5000 fine. In other regions, such as in Samara, they will be forced to pay for the damage to the plantation. In any case, you shouldn't do that.

Another aspect of the problem is through traffic through the residential area. Officially, it is prohibited by clause 17.2 of the SDA. But few of the drivers have ever tried to drive around the "traffic jam" through the nearest courtyard. The rules prohibit only through passage, and the movement itself at a speed of 20 km per hour is allowed in Section 10.2 of the SDA:

"In settlements, vehicles are allowed to move at a speed of no more than 60 km / h, and in residential areas and in courtyards, no more than 20 km / h."

So you just need to get rid of the concept of "through". It is enough to stop for a few seconds and behold, you are already a respectable driver who has not violated anything. But the stop, of course, must be done taking into account the described rules.

In the absence of the car owner in any of the above cases, the car can be evacuated, especially if it interferes with the passage or the work of the cleaning or fire trucks, which means that you will have to pay for the stay at the impound station.

In addition, violators are often sure that if they are not caught by a traffic police officer, they will certainly go unpunished, but Part 4 of Art. 28.1 Administrative Code:

“The reasons for initiating an administrative offense case are:
4. Fixing an administrative offense in the field of road traffic or an administrative offense in the field of landscaping, provided for by the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, committed with the use of a vehicle or by the owner or other owner of a land plot or other real estate object, operating in automatic mode with special technical means that have functions photography and filming, video recording, or by means of photography and filming, video recording. "

Now there are even sites where you can upload photos and videos of evidence of the violation.

That is why the neighbors' threats to complain about the car owner, who warms up the car for half an hour in the morning, are quite real.

The law that each tenant of a high-rise building will be allocated a place for a car has not yet been adopted. Talks about this are underway at the highest levels of government, but so far no draft law suitable for signing has been developed. We will figure out what norms for parking vehicles in the adjoining territories are in force in 2017, and what the deputies proposed to introduce.

Applicable sanitary standards

The main document that today regulates parking near an apartment building is the current sanitary standards. According to them:

a parking pocket that can accommodate up to 10 cars should be located ten meters from a residential building;
if the parking lot can accommodate up to 50 cars, then it is important to follow all the rules that are provided for the arrangement of the area around the house.

In the latter case, the owners of apartments in a high-rise building may try to privatize the adjacent territory, but this process is very complicated. They will definitely have to hire lawyers and collect signatures in favor of parking. 2/3 of all owners must vote for the arrangement of places for cars. After collecting all the documents, they will need to contact the district administration. The land allocation process can take years, so be patient.

Vehicle owners should remember that sanitary standards are also a law that must be followed by everyone living in a high-rise building. Violations of sanitary standards by motorists can entail consequences if apartment owners write complaints to the following monitoring services:

fire inspection;
district engineering service;
sanitary inspection;
ecological service.

In 2017, developers must be sure to comply with sanitary standards during the design of residential areas. If you are just thinking about buying an apartment, consider only offers with large parking pockets and underground parking for cars. In some regions, the authorities have recommended large construction companies to equip extensive underground parking. For example, the latest news says that such letters of recommendation were received by builders from Krasnoyarsk. In addition, a number of regions have introduced their own rules for the design of neighborhoods, which developers must follow.

What does the traffic rules say about parking on the territory near a residential building

Every driver of a vehicle must obey the traffic rules - this is the basic law for motorists, which must be observed not only while driving, but also in parking lots near an apartment building. This law provides for the following rules and penalties:

Stopping a car with a running engine for more than 5 minutes, not far from a residential building. Only parking is allowed for disembarking or embarking passengers, as well as for handling cargo. If you warm up the car for a long time in the morning in the cold season, then the neighbors have the right to complain to the traffic police. The inspector can issue a fine of 1,500 rubles or 3,000 (for large cities and capitals).
With the same amount, according to the adopted amendments to the traffic rules, the drivers of heavy vehicles will have to part. They cannot be put in the parking pocket of the house; there are special parking lots for trucks and vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tons.
In 2019, it is possible to evacuate cars that are on the sidewalks. Special equipment is now working in the courtyards of residential buildings. The driver will have to bear double responsibility - pay for the evacuation of the car and pay a fine of 2 thousand rubles. In some cases parking on sidewalks is not restricted, but only in situations where there are two meters left for free movement of pedestrians.
The exact amount of the fine cannot be said for another violation - blocking the passage for other vehicles, including cars of special services. Often this becomes a whole problem for residents of a multi-storey building, because sometimes the passage is not available for firefighters, rescuers or ambulances. Depending on the situation, the traffic police inspector can assign different types of fines, guided by the Administrative Code.
Some tenants protect their own parking spaces near the house, preventing other cars from being left on them. The fine for this reaches 5 thousand rubles.
Parking at garbage containers costs from two to five thousand. It makes it difficult for utilities to work. Remember not to leave the machine near garbage cans, the minimum distance from them should be five meters.

Parking on lawns deserves a separate discussion. If there are no barriers at the entrance to the lawn near your house, then sooner or later you will find the car of a neighbor who did not get a place in the parking lot. The law prohibits leaving cars on the lawn, but remember that in the summer you need to complain about the actions of motorists to the traffic police, and in winter to the sanitary services (if the vehicle is right under the windows). This is due to the fact that after the snow falls, the boundaries of green spaces in the area around the house are not visible, and the traffic police inspectors are powerless in this case. In judicial practice, there are many cases when negligent motorists were able to appeal a fine for parking on a lawn issued in winter.

How fines can be charged

If you want to punish those who park at your house as they want, then you should not call public organizations and spoil other people's property, just take the following steps:

take photos and videos of violations;
invite the traffic police inspector into the yard;
inform him of the known data and provide the collected materials.

As a result, the traffic police officer will draw up protocols and write out fines for all violators. Sometimes car owners do not comply with sanitary standards, then it is also worth taking photos and videos of incorrectly parked cars and contacting the appropriate services.

In some cases, a fine may be issued by fire officials, for example, when a standing vehicle blocked the passage to the place of the house where the fire occurred. Employees of the management company can inform car inspectors about incorrectly parked cars. For example, if the law on parking by trash cans is violated. In this case, in order to still take out household waste, the employees of the Criminal Code can call a tow truck.

Why are the current rules invented?

The existing rules are created in order to ensure the normal functioning of an apartment building. If you comply with the current law on sanitary standards and traffic rules, then you will not have conflicts with utilities and neighbors.

Ideally, each house should be allocated a parking space for 10 to 50 cars (depending on the number of apartments and number of storeys), but in fact, many who work late have to leave their car wherever they have to. If you cannot find a place for your transport, then it is best to contact the nearest paid parking lot.

The law allows residents of the house to install barriers at the entrance to the courtyard. This will protect them from the cars of residents and guests from neighboring buildings who could not find a place in their parking pocket. However, the purchase and maintenance of the barrier is not included in the utility bill. Its installation can be done after a meeting of all owners and collection of signatures. Consent to the barrier must be given by 2/3 of all owners. The money for the installation and maintenance of this equipment is collected from all apartments in the building in equal shares.

What do the deputies want to introduce

The new law was developed by the party of Sergei Mironov - "Fair Russia". So far, the project cannot yet be called finalized, since the mechanisms of its action for houses that were built earlier and did not have a vast territory around are not clear. That is why the new law is being finalized.

The MPs' proposal is as follows:

The allocation of parking spaces should be related to the area of the apartment. If you have a standard one-room apartment - 33 square meters, then one place will be allocated on the adjacent territory. If the area of the apartment exceeds 50 meters, then there will be two parking spaces for families.
When designing, it is necessary to provide 40 places for guests if a thousand people live in a high-rise building. If the number of tenants is supposed to be equal to two thousand, then there should be 80 guest places.

This law is not perfect, since in Russia large families with several cars can live in small-sized housing. According to the new standards, they will be forced to leave "extra" cars in other territories. While some of the places assigned to tenants of spacious apartments may be empty. This situation is fraught with conflicts between residents of high-rise buildings. At the same time, finding a peaceful solution is easy if you learn to negotiate with your neighbors.

In addition, the deputies proposed a law according to which new rules will be in force at the places of paid parking for residents of nearby houses. In particular, at night they become free and everyone can use them, including residents of nearby houses. The regional authorities will presumably regulate the implementation of the law, and to control them, they will have to create a special register, which takes into account all the parking spaces of the city, including those located in the local area.
