Road sign 5.15 2 appendix 1. Road sign direction of movement along the lanes

Not any violation of the requirements of a road sign is subject to qualification under Article 12.16. Let me remind you
Article 12.16. Failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs or roadway markings
Failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs or roadway markings, with the exception of cases provided for by other articles of this Chapter, -
shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one hundred roubles.
This was also pointed out Supreme Court RF (though on a slightly different issue, but the approach is obvious):
PLENUM OF THE SUPREME COURT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
RESOLUTION of October 24, 2006 N 18 ON SOME ISSUES ARISING FROM COURTS IN THE APPLICATION OF THE SPECIAL PART OF THE CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ON ADMINISTRATIVE OFFENSES
Violation by drivers of the requirements of road signs or markings, which led to the exit to the side of the carriageway intended for oncoming traffic, should also be qualified under Part 3 of Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, since this rule is special in relation to Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Such situations may arise, for example, when driving on a road with one lane for each direction as a result of violation of the requirements of road signs: 3.20 "No overtaking", 3.22 "No overtaking for trucks", 5.11 "Road with a lane Vehicle", as well as road markings 1.1. Violation by the driver of the requirements of the road sign 3.1 "Entry is prohibited", which entailed movement in the opposite direction on a road intended for one-way traffic, also forms an administrative offense under part 3 of article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Now let's return to the norm of part 1 of article 12.15, which is just one of such cases (exceptions from article 12.16):
Article 12.15. Violation location rules vehicle on the carriageway, oncoming passing or overtaking
1. Violation of the rules for the location of the vehicle on the carriageway, oncoming passing or overtaking without going to the side of the carriageway intended for oncoming traffic, as well as driving along roadsides or crossing an organized transport or foot column or taking a place in it -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.
By itself, the definition of "rules for the location of vehicles" is not contained in the SDA. But back to clause 9.1 of the SDA
9. Location of vehicles on the roadway
9.1. The number of lanes for trackless vehicles is determined by markings and (or ) signs 5.15.1, 5.15.2, 5.15.7, 5.15.8, and if they are not available, then by the drivers themselves, taking into account the width of the carriageway, the dimensions of vehicles and the necessary intervals between them. At the same time, the side intended for oncoming traffic is considered to be half the width of the carriageway, located on the left, not counting local widenings of the carriageway (transitional-speed lanes, additional lanes for climbing, drive-in pockets of stopping places for route vehicles).
Also, according to the traffic rules, sign 5.15.1 establishes a certain mode of movement - “the direction of movement along the lanes”. That is, as in this case - from the leftmost lane only turn left, from the right - straight. At the same time, it is obvious that it is impossible to turn left from the right - this is the mode of movement in the zone of action of the sign. Can this be considered a rule for the location of vehicles in this place? I think yes. Consequently, the top-starter, having allowed movement straight along the lane on which he could not move like that, but had only to turn left, violated the rules for the location of vehicles in the area of this sign and committed an administrative offense under part 1 of article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offenses RF.

SDA provides a large number of various pointers. Some of them are used most often, and some very rarely. The road sign “Movement in lanes” can be classified as rarely used, since markings are currently used almost everywhere, the features of a certain section of the route may not meet the requirements, and there are other reasons. Some motorists quite often forget about the requirements of the rules traffic. However, even the slightest, it would seem, violation can turn into a serious punishment.

Signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 indicate the number of traffic lanes, the direction of the traffic flow, and, as a rule, are installed at the intersection of multi-lane roads in order to prevent the formation of congestion, as well as rebuilding directly at the intersection.

Requirement 5.15.2 does not apply to shuttle vehicles. And for this sign, the action extends to the entire intersection of roads, unless any other instructions are given.

However, unfortunately, some motorists believe that 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 are only advisory in nature, as a result of which they are often neglected. However, "Direction of lanes" refers to the signs of a special prescription and must be followed.

Categories of signs

In fact, there are many signs that determine the direction of the traffic flow and they can be divided into several different categories:

as a rule, installed on those sections of the road where there is an uneven number of rows for moving in different directions;
also installed on road sections with single-lane traffic to indicate the direction;
the “Turn in lanes” installation is performed at or in front of a road intersection to indicate a turn from each of its lanes;
"Beginning and ending of a series";
"Lane driving modes" can be divided into the following: restriction of movement for certain modes of transport and speed limit.

In combination with 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, a sign prohibiting a U-turn at an intersection may be installed. Its effect applies to the entire intersection, and not to one of the intersections of the carriageway. As a rule, it is installed at road intersections where a U-turn may be unsafe for vehicles moving in the opposite direction, as well as for pedestrians.

fines

For violation of the requirements, there can be a variety of penalties: from a simple warning to deprivation driving license. Below are the most common violations and penalties for them:

driving straight along a lane where only a right turn is allowed - a warning or a monetary penalty in the amount of 300 rubles;
ignoring the requirements and turning onto the road with one-way traffic flow towards the main traffic flow - a penalty of 5,000 rubles. or deprivation of rights for up to six months, or even 1 year, if the violation is not the first in the last 12 months;
driving along the dividing line between the rows - 500 rubles;
changing lanes without turning on the corresponding signals - 500 rubles;
a turn made at an intersection from a lane not intended for this - a monetary penalty in the amount of 1,500 rubles;
driving vehicles on a section of the road intended for cyclists - a fine of 2500 rubles.

contradictions

Quite often it happens that the road markings contradict the established signs. In this case, according to the law, the sign has priority over the markup.

A special case is when there is no marking, and signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 are the only indication. So, for example, the roadway is not marked, and its width allows movement in 3 lanes at the same time, but there is a sign in front of the intersection that allows driving only in two lanes. In this case, driving in three lanes is allowed, but before crossing the roads it is necessary to switch to two-lane traffic, otherwise a fine of 500 rubles.

Videos are offered to your attention, explaining the "Movement in lanes" in more detail and clearly.

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In the next article of the "Road Signs" series, we will talk about the following road signs:

The listed signs belong to the group "signs of special prescriptions". Consequently, a driver who does not know the rules of the road can violate the requirements of any of these signs and suffer a well-deserved punishment for his violation.

Today, not only all the above signs will be considered in detail, but also the punishments for violations of each of them.

Driving directions by lanes

The sign "Directions in lanes" indicates the number of lanes before the intersection, as well as the directions in which you can move on each of the listed lanes:

For example, the sign above allows:

Turn right from the right lane.
Driving straight from the center and left lanes.
Turn left from the left lane.
U-turn from the left lane

The signs "Directions of movement along the lane" have a similar meaning:

At the same time, their difference from the previous sign is that they are installed above each of the lanes and regulate traffic precisely along the lane over which they are installed.

Consider the features of signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2:

A sign that allows a left turn also allows a U-turn.
Signs do not apply to public transport.
The signs installed in front of the intersection apply to the entire intersection (if there are no signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 at the intersection giving other instructions).

Let's take a closer look at the last point. On Russian roads come across, in front of which signs are installed that regulate the direction of movement along the lanes. It is understood, for example, that a driver entering on the right lane must leave the intersection to the right, a driver entering on the left lane must exit to the left, etc.

Such an organization of traffic usually misleads drivers. Therefore, I will remind you of a few rules that allow you to navigate at such a crossroads.

1. Regardless of which lane you entered the intersection, you can change lanes at any time (if it is not prohibited by the markings).

2. You can leave the roundabout only on the extreme right lane. An exception is if signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 are installed before the exit, allowing exit from several lanes.

In practice, it’s quite difficult to navigate at such intersections (with roundabouts), but drivers entering them for the first time only add to the chaos. So it would be reasonable to build your route in such a way that you don’t get into “incomprehensible” roundabouts, because. the culprit of almost anyone at such intersections can be any of the drivers.

Let's return to signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2. In some cases (in accordance with GOST), preliminary road signs may also be installed, but you should not rely on them. Accordingly, signs regulating the direction of movement along the lanes should be sought immediately before the intersection.

As for the penalties for violating the requirements of signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, they are quite diverse and depend mainly on what other points of the rules will be violated.

For example, if a driver drives straight down a lane from which only a turn is allowed, he will receive a warning or a fine of 500 rubles. If you turn left, where it is prohibited, and find yourself in one-way traffic (in the opposite direction), then here we will talk about 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4-6 months.

Start lane sign

Road sign"Start of Lane" indicates to the driver that an additional lane (uphill or deceleration lane) is starting on the road:

In this case, the lane on which the sign is drawn can only be driven at the specified or greater speed. Violation of the requirements of this sign is punishable by a warning or a fine of 500 rubles.

There is also another sign called "Beginning of the strip":

He points out that an extra lane appears in the middle of a three-lane road. On sign 5.15.4, one of the prohibition road signs may be additionally applied, imposing a restriction on a group of vehicles.

Three-lane roads, on which the middle lane is alternately used for traffic in one direction and then in the other, were widespread 20-25 years ago, but in recent times they are extremely rare on the roads. As well as signs 5.15.4.

End strip sign

The "End of Lane" sign is used to indicate the end of an additional lane on an uphill or acceleration lane:

There is also another road sign "End of lane". It marks the end middle lane on a three-lane road:

lane direction sign

I note right away that a road sign with a similar name has already been considered within the framework of this article.

As for the "Direction of lanes" sign, it is usually used on roads where the number of lanes for traffic in one direction exceeds the number of lanes for traffic in the other:

The sign is designed to help the driver navigate the complex organization of traffic.

Sign 5.15.7 may contain miniature prohibitory signs, the requirements of which must also be observed.

Sign of the number of stripes

The sign "Number of lanes" indicates the number of lanes on the road, as well as the driving modes for each of them:

In accordance with GOST, the sign is installed 50-150 meters before the start of the road section, where appropriate prohibition signs with a sign 8.14 are installed above each of the lanes. For example:

In this case, if the requirements of this sign are not observed, the driver will be imposed, depending on the magnitude of the excess.

We will talk about several new signs of special prescriptions.

Good luck on the roads!
