Weekend parking. Days and places of free parking

At the center of almost every modern city number of cars for last couple decades has grown significantly, and such a large metropolis as Moscow was no exception. The road infrastructure of the capital was not designed for such a large number of personal vehicles, which is why in recent years the issue of parking in Moscow has become so difficult. Already five years ago, both Moscow drivers and motorists coming to Moscow from the region or other regions of the country faced the problems of finding free parking spaces.

In order to solve the problems of parking space in Moscow, since 2013, paid parking has been introduced within the Boulevard Ring, and since 2014, parking in the Moscow City area has become paid, where for the first time in Russia a differentiated parking rate for personal vehicles was applied. Since 2019, the rules and prices of Moscow parking have changed again, on 237 streets with an increased rate, parking on Sunday has become paid. On public holidays, cars can still be parked on these streets free of charge. In this publication, we will consider everything in detail with prices, schedules and conditions.

Let's figure out what the rules, cost and methods of paying for parking in Moscow are, because the skills of how to quickly find free parking spaces and pay for them correctly are mandatory for Moscow car owners.

Where does the paid parking zone start in Moscow?

Paid parking areas in the capital were approved by Decree of the Government of Moscow N 289-PP dated May 17, 2013 "On the organization of paid urban parking in the city of Moscow." In accordance with this resolution, paid parking zones in the city center, rules, as well as the cost of parking spaces were introduced.

In 2013, after the legislative approval of the list of paid parking zones, several zones were located by the city authorities within the Third Transport Ring (TTK). This innovation made it possible to improve the convenience of pedestrians, organize the movement of cars in a more efficient way and bring order to the organization of the arrangement of parking zones in the city.

Since 2014, the area of ​​paid parking has expanded to the borders of the Third Transport Ring (TTK) - the expansion zone of the Moscow parking space has included the streets of the capital's districts: Arbat, Tverskoy, Presnensky, Dorogomilovo, Khamovniki, Begovoy, Khoroshevsky, Airport, Savelovsky, Maryina Roshcha, Meshchansky, Krasnoselsky, Basmanny, Tagansky, Yuzhnoportovy, Zamoskvorechye, Yakimanka, Donskoy, Danilovsky, Lefortovo.

Since 2019, the cost of parking on Moscow streets has increased. A complete list of paid parking zones operating in Moscow for 2019 with the exact address and name of the paid parking zone is listed in Appendix No. 1 (Territorial zones for organizing paid city parking) to Decree of the Government of Moscow dated May 17, 2013 N 289-PP.

What is the cost of parking in Moscow in 2019?

The cost of parking in Moscow is determined by the Government of Moscow and, in accordance with Decree of the Government of Moscow No. 798-PP, payment for parking spaces is made at the following rates:

• The minimum cost of parking in the center will be 80 rubles per hour - these are the streets between the Garden and Boulevard rings.
• On the busier streets inside Garden Ring will act parking with a differentiated rate - 50 rubles for the first 30 minutes, then 150 rubles per hour.
• On the streets inside the Boulevard Ring, the rates will be 100 and 200 rubles per hour.
• On 237 streets, a tariff of 380 rubles per hour during the day and 200 rubles per hour at night will be set.(List of streets with increased fare)
• Parking on site from outside The Boulevard Ring to the borders of Moscow will cost 30,000 rubles a month and 300,000 rubles a year.

• In the zone of increased tariff (380 rubles per hour) parking passes are not valid!

Please note that up-to-date information about the cost of parking in Moscow is visible on the relevant road signs, which are installed at each paid parking lot and next to parking meters.

Do you know what can be good save on parking fees in Moscow by purchasing a parking subscription for a month or a year. Attention! Monthly and annual parking passes in the area of ​​the Moscow International Business Center Moscow City (MIBC Moscow City) are not valid in 2019!

Currently, residents of the paid parking zone in the capital are entitled to free parking on the streets of Moscow within municipal district residence, on the territory of which the residential premises of the resident are located from 20:00 to 8:00.

To obtain this right, it is necessary to issue a parking permit for 3 years, while, at the request of the owner vehicle, you can get it for more short term- for one or two years. Upon receipt of a resident permit with a three-year validity period, the car owner can pay both in full (immediately for the entire period of its validity), and separately for each year. If suddenly the resident car owner pays in installments, and has not paid the fee for the last year of the permit validity on time, the period of validity of the permit will be extended by no more than 14 calendar days. Permits for free parking for resident car owners are issued on the principle of "no more than 2 permits per apartment."

There are several ways to pay for parking in Moscow. The car owner can choose the most convenient of these methods:

1. Paying for parking through a parking meter, a parking card or any bank card (credit or debit) is suitable for this method.
2. Payment for parking from a parking account - if you have registered on the portal of the Moscow parking space or downloaded to your smartphone/tablet mobile app"Parking in Moscow" (for Android for iOS), you get a virtual parking account, to which you put money and when parking, these funds are calculated from your account.
3. Payment for parking with a monthly or annual parking subscription, in accordance with the parking zones for which the subscription is issued.

Payment must be made within 15 minutes after the parking space is occupied. However, there are exceptions. They operate in the following cases:

• If the person who parked has the right to free parking;
• If you are the owner of a paid resident parking permit;
• If you paid for the placement of the car in the parking lot in accordance with paragraphs 3.2 - 3.3 of Moscow Government Decree No. 289-PP and occupied a parking space from 8:00 to 20:00.

If the parking time paid through the parking meter has expired, the driver must leave the parking space within 10 minutes. The same time is allotted to leave the occupied parking lot when the driver has already sent an SMS message that he is leaving the parking lot.

Payment for parking through the website of the Moscow Parking Space

You can pay for parking through the website of the Moscow Parking Space, using your personal account and a virtual account linked to it, money to which you can credit from a bank card, and funds are debited at the time the car is placed in the parking space and before it is removed from the parking lot. You can fix the moment of arming and withdrawal in your personal account or by sending an SMS message.

Please note: in order for the payment to go through, your virtual account balance must have an amount equivalent to at least an hour's parking.

Free parking spaces in the center of Moscow

The authorities of the city of Moscow have provided free parking in the city center. So, since December 2013, a promotion has been operating in Moscow, according to which certain places in parking lots in the city center become free on weekends and holidays and also at night. Also, free places are equipped for certain preferential categories of citizens.

Paid parking equipment in Moscow

Parking areas in Moscow are a specially equipped, equipped and specially designated place for stopping vehicles. To a certain extent, parking is an object of urban improvement, as well as a solution to the problem bandwidth city ​​streets of the capital.

The parking lot itself is part of the road, it can be adjacent to the carriageway, sidewalk, bridge, shoulder or overpass. Often, parking is equipped in the space under the overpass or under bridges.

When the Moscow authorities decided to make parking spaces paid, car owners began to grumble, but quickly got used to the new order. And when, as an experiment, officials made parking in Moscow free on weekends and holidays, the grumblings and indignation of drivers completely melted away, as if nightmare in the morning.

Paid parking is a common practice in many metropolitan areas around the world.

Since then, the speed of traffic inside the Boulevard and Garden rings has increased by about 10-12%. But this is not what impressed the city authorities. Completely different figures turned out to be much more convincing: since November 2012, fees from paid parking have amounted to about 2 billion rubles. So Muscovites should expect that the “paid parking spot” will increase significantly in the near future. In the draft budget of Moscow for 2015-2017. 17 billion rubles have been pledged, which are planned to be raised from paid parking lots. A weighty argument to continue to empty the wallets of drivers.

There are fewer and fewer free parking spaces in the capital

Photo news.mail.ru

Since December 25 current year 454 more streets in the central part of the capital will acquire paid parking, and residents of such districts as Airport, Zamoskvorechye, Lefortovo, Maryina Roshcha, Taganka, Yuzhnoportovy and others will be able to “rejoice” with the innovations.

Experts are sure that soon there will be no free parking in Moscow at all, but so far motorists are not mentally ready for this, and therefore they are left with the opportunity to park their “steel horse” for nothing. So where and when in Moscow can you park for free?

Sunday is the only day off

Parking fee free only on Sundays and public holidays

In addition, not everyone can leave the car for free at the curbs on Sundays. It turns out that people who have unpaid fines cannot do this. Debtors are forced to pay even on holidays. And one should not hope too much that the government will continue to practice " free days". I remember Maxim Liksutov, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport and Road Infrastructure Development, promised that parking fees would be charged only within the Boulevard Ring. As a result, from December 25, the TTC will become one huge paid parking lot, which in the future will only spread across the capital.

We have a parking lot in our yard...

In the yards today you can observe a real car pandemonium

Photo go-yo.ru

However, in fact, courtyards are increasingly recent times become a stumbling block and a source of numerous conflicts between "local" and "stray". Residents of the yards began to massively install barriers and bollards, which are designed to prevent parking of employees of offices adjacent to the yards.

The war between residents of the yards and those who want to park their car continues

Photo yabloko.ru

And if once Woland complained that Muscovites were spoiled by the housing problem, today we can safely say that they were spoiled, rather, by the yard issue.

In accordance with the "On the procedure for installing fences in the adjacent territories in the city of Moscow", a simplified procedure for installing barriers was introduced. If you want to install a barrier to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering your yard, the Moscow Parking Space project suggests that you familiarize yourself with the following memo:

Residents start and win

To obtain this document, you need to have a residence permit or rent an apartment in a house located in a paid zone. In addition, the owner of the car must not have outstanding fines.

Recall that, according to Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, non-payment of penalties within 60 days after the decision on the administrative violation case entered into force is considered a debt.

Social parking: free crumbs

I'm going to intercept

Parking and park near Annino metro station

In the case of metro parking lots, there is another danger - you can estimate the speed of movement on underground trains, and therefore you will forever abandon ground traffic jams and parking lots. True, comfort will have to be sacrificed.

Little tricks

These tricks are illegal, and if you are a law-abiding citizen of your country, then adopt a somewhat troublesome, but completely legal way - twist the numbers. In the Russian Federation, there is no law that would prohibit the number plate connection from your own vehicle, which is not in motion.

In addition to all of the above, electric cars and two-wheeled motor vehicles can be parked for free in Moscow. Apparently, an electric motorcycle is an ideal option.

These lucky people do not need to pay for a parking space

Photo top.rbc.ru

Paid parking is civilized. Do not forget that free cheese can ruin your figure and car karma twice as fast. So to your health and nostalgic for free-parking Moscow.

The provisions about which are currently teeming with contradictions and even anti-constitutional provisions, is commendable. However, it is not clear why there are so many shortcomings in the long-awaited 40-page treatise.

Moment one - free parking at night. The bill provides that from 20:00 to 8:00 in paid zones you don’t have to pay for parking (the main thing is not to oversleep the “morning divorce”). Currently, only residents, that is, residents of houses in a paid zone, can park their cars for free at night. True, residents still buy subscriptions (for 3,000 rubles a year), because it’s impossible to predict that the car will always have to be parked only strictly from eight o’clock in the evening, so free parking only for residents of the area was initially a strange situation. But what about those who leave the car on the territory of the paid zone only at night - because of night work, for example - and bought a full-fledged annual subscription for this?

The parking fee has the same value as last year, 100 lei per year, and there will be signs on the parking spaces. When it grew by 40% last year, he promised to keep parking spaces and enforce rules that make you liable for a fine and even a locked wheel if you abuse a parking space.

Nothing happened. As for service, don't say. Obviously, there will be a neighbor who will take it quickly, that they are neighbors, poor people. For them, the car is the most important thing! But what if we solidarize more of our neighbors and we accept a small deal and don't give them any money? We cannot understand, especially since some of us grew up together, in the same house, and not in the forest! And if we find a busy night in a busy parking lot, we won't die if we leave it in the valley.

The fifth moment - is allowed not immediately, but within a day after the end of the parking session. It is not entirely clear why it is proposed to defer payment - taking care of the driver who forgot his wallet at home?

They will threaten to amend and block our wheels, but that won't happen, especially if no one is paying for the booking! Maybe not a lot of money, but they are ours and they don't really give us anything! Why did you pay people this fee this year? However, the car tax you pay also contributes to the prosperity of the snow removal company, but you are still a shovel! Or are you scraping your car parks, those who are required to do so on the basis of this tax!

From the very beginning, it seemed to me that the great idiot keeps all the parking spaces in front of the blocks and behind them for the whole day, and their owners are struggling to find a place where they have jobs or jobs or in other places where the day passes.

The sixth moment - local authorities can draw up lists of persons for whom parking is free (in addition to traditional beneficiaries, that is, veterans, disabled people, etc.) With this situation, the widest scope for corruption opens up.

The seventh moment is the regulation of parking regulations at the federal and local levels. Federal authorities determine the maximum rate for paid parking, which must be adjusted annually, and local authorities determine the boundaries of paid zones and rates.

Any City Citizen of the City recently owned a car park at City Hall has been quick to put up a yellow triangle to warn others that the space is being rented. The most diligent of them also used it in the sense that they lifted it up and locked it with a Chinese lock obtained with a triangle, on which they paid 100 and a few lei. Therefore, no one can park in this place, and the place is not occupied all day. All this time, in turn, the hour of death is given to find a parking spot where he walks.

Because the other melters locked them in yellow triangles. The less zealous were glad to set up the iron triangle, but they did not keep it upright. Its mere presence is enough for whoever is parked in that spot to be careful not to sit too long or leave their phone number on board. When the person returns home, he gives the horn, sounds the signal, and comes to move his car.

The eighth moment - for an apartment, depending on the provision of residents with an area in the houses, 1-2 parking spaces are required. And we are talking about both new buildings, where something else can be changed at the design and construction stage, and the old fund.

The ninth moment - guest parking. Now residents of paid zones are faced with the fact that friends or relatives who come to visit them are forced to pay for parking - 40-80 rubles per hour. The bill suggests that the authorities should provide guest parking at the rate of 40 spaces per 1,000 residents 200 meters from the house. However, it is not explained in any way what is meant by these parking lots - will they be free, with more loyal rates, or just additional parking area? And how will the "guests" be registered?

More recently, the mayor's office thought about changing the parking rules and making him even more of an idiot. So if you have a chance to give good people let you park in your seats, you don't stand a chance. Because the artisans from the Town Hall will start hunting! With a scanner, they'll scan the license plates, and if they don't close the spot, great! From 8 am to 6-7 pm we want to have a city where 90% of our parking spaces are empty, but we are not allowed to park there! This is because every person who has a rented car park has a car.

The tenth moment concerns. The bill contains a long-awaited requirement to ban tow trucks from taking away cars parked in violation of traffic rules, but not obstructing the passage. Now car owners regularly complain that tow trucks, in order to exceed the plan, grab those cars that are easier to load, even if they just drove a wheel over the marking line, and not those that really interfere with traffic. But again, it is not spelled out how “traffic interference” is defined, which leaves room for personal interpretations of the tow truck driver and the traffic police inspector.

He goes to work, to the market, to friends, etc. Also, if you say two cars and two parking spaces, and park one on top of the other, you're just as good. Or if you go to a friend's and let you park in their spot. Reasonable baths, wasn't it as simple and normal as a parking space that can only be rented from a certain hour in the evening until the morning? Let's say from 5 or 6 pm to the morning at 8 o'clock! Otherwise, he can park anyone who finds him free, without any sanctions, without hunting.

Are you uncomfortable and "forgetting" to take the car from your place of residence after this hour? Did the man return from work and find him busy after that hour? Only then do you pick up the phone and call the competent authority. If the world wanted to leave their car at home, in a rented car park, all day long, it wouldn't be easy.

The eleventh moment - the parking lot. The bill spells out beautiful requirements for impound lots: they must be lit, fenced, equipped with video surveillance cameras, have premises for receiving visitors and numbered places for cars. This, of course, is wonderful and even beautiful, but for some reason the most important requirements for people were not presented to impound lots - that they should not be in the middle of nowhere, where the unfortunate delinquent car owner has to walk along the railway tracks, risking being robbed and even killed. And in order to pay the fine and the imposed evacuation service, it was possible without a commission, which is required by non-alternative devices at impound lots.

The apartment, located as a car park and organized as a home car park, is valued by the apartment at the City Hall for 100 lei per year for those who want to book it. Only when such a place is desired by more car owners does the price of the car come.

The first places were easily distributed with one wish. So far, nothing special, but when the decision was made in parking lot number 6, there were 3 bidders representing the need to organize a strike auction. "Scream" started with 100 lei. Each of the three wanted to raise the bid, eventually reaching an incredible figure of 500 lei for parking!, - a reader of our newspaper, a participant in the auction, told us. The assignment of a parking space now depends on the payment of the application.

Now there are 370 of them throughout the capital: paid parking zones are expanding, the number of routes is increasing ... "Parkons" can already be found outside the Moscow Ring Road, for example, in New Moscow. And every day a crowd of gray "Solaris" with the logos of the Organization Center traffic(TsODD) comes out to shoot. It would seem that drivers know everything about them. But our raid showed that there are enough subtleties in the operation of mobile control.

The president of the association, Alexandre Butiri, says the money had not been paid until yesterday morning. A place is not assigned until the money is deposited. If the winner does not pay the reward, the place will be sold again, says the president of the association. The area affected by the three will be used to park larger vehicles than ordinary vehicles, company vehicles, or caravans.

According to the parking service of the Oradea Real Estate Administration, only 56 parking spaces out of 800 people were auctioned, which is 0.7%. After the auction, it reached 500 lei. So far, in Oradea, the highest amount that a person has paid for a parking space is 900 lei, Ion Simon, head of the parking service, told us. According to him, there are also Oradea who pay more than 100 lei for parking spaces, namely: one person with 600 lei, two with 500 lei, one with 450 lei, one with 410 lei, nine people with an amount between 300 and 400 lei , 23 people - from 200 to 270 lei and 19 people who paid more than 100 lei, up to 180 lei.

time and place

Before leaving for the route, I asked the motorists I knew how, in their opinion, the parkons patrol the streets. “They go every five minutes”, “Once every 15 minutes, at least - I heard on TV”, “At least half an hour”, - there were no opinions. And now the correct answer is that the exact interval cannot be named.

Debrecen Street, st. The neighbors of Brunon Quebec parish are angry that a large parking lot near the church is almost half the time, but the surrounding population closes their gates. As Adolf Wesel, Adventist Wesel, the editor said, the many congregations would be very helpful to the people living in the neighborhood - it would be possible to build cars at night.

Have some fun. - it is still good to accommodate both residents and visitors of the parish, but after the change of gates everything has changed, they are open several hours a day and several hours during the day, although no one uses the square at night. established supermarkets don't actually fix the sites. According to him, there are even five residential buildings around which residents would like to build cars there.

Once an hour, the driver of the "parkon" is given a 15-minute break, and there is no desire to stay without lunch

I get into the car, which today runs in the Central District on Tverskoy district. The driver Mikhail has been working in the TsODD since the first days, as soon as the "parkons" appeared. Before the shift, the driver is given a route sheet, and then he sat down and went to wind circles. You can choose a work schedule - either for 12 hours "two in two", or a standard eight-hour five-day week. At night, contrary to popular belief, "parkons" are also on duty, but not in its entirety.

The man also posted a photo of the announcement saying the parish will be closed from July 20th. Please do not leave the car at the time of closing. Stanislav Svakovsky, pastor of Brunon Quebec Parish, explained that the gate was built to ensure that there was room for parish cars arriving to worship. Also, the plan is to put the pad on the pavement, so you'll need to save it to prevent the party from being built when the pads arrive.

There are many open hours now. Then a table that will indicate which clock can be built. But it happens that the local Offers cars, and on Sundays the parishioners come to mass and do not have where to park the car. The clergyman said that no one ever talked about the possibility of leaving local residents still in the parish.

Specifically, our route takes 21 minutes, with traffic jams - 28, but in fact it took exactly 15. There are longer flights, there are shorter ones. A complete map of the "parkons" movement has been published on the website of the Moscow government. There are many factors that affect time: traffic jams, traffic lights, average speed and even the schedule of the driver.

There are more routes than "parkons". This explains the periodic absence of TsODD cars on some streets. I did a random check: I took three flights in different districts and followed the movements of the mobile complexes. In two districts, the "parkons" were on duty as expected, in the third - it was empty. The traffic situation is monitored daily at the TsODD, so trouble-free streets are controlled less frequently. The list of routes itself is also not eternal.

To determine a new route or change the old one, we conduct research, look at when and at what time the road is loaded, as well as the percentage of violators. The main requirement is a large number of violators who interfere with the movement of public transport and increase the load on the road network.

A matter of technology

On the technical side, too, something is constantly changing. No, globally the principle of action is the same. The car travels at a maximum speed of 40 km / h, at which time the ParkRight system uses a camera to capture parked cars and determine their exact coordinates. The images are immediately sent to the data processing department of the TsODD, then to the Moscow Automobile Road Inspectorate (MADI) and the Moscow Parking Space Administrator (AMPP), who issue a fine. If necessary, of course. To do this, a photo session of the car must be carried out in two passes. An interesting point - this applies not only to areas with paid parking, but even with a prohibited stop. One frame is not enough. Here is such a small indulgence for violators.

If the car breaks down in a place prohibited for parking or in a paid parking zone, then you will have to challenge the fine. Any evidence will do, such as a receipt for towing services or an order from a technical center

Software and maps are regularly updated. Systems, by the way, are programmed differently in different cars. For example, in some "parkons" only paid sections are fixed, in others - parking under prohibition signs, and thirdly - all together, as in our case. The routes "crammed" into the system are worked out in detail. If the driver deviates from the course, say, for a rest, fixing stops.

The longer we drive, the more I notice the numerous tricksters trying to deceive the parkon. For example, those who like to close the room with some kind of cloth. But even in such cases, the information goes to processing. Missing letters and numbers are "unraveled" by the base. The rebus is simple, especially if the intruder has a rare car.

An error occurred during the download. Closing a couple of characters is useless, except perhaps the entire number. But the city uses foot inspectors to deal with such drivers.

The picture quality is really high. At first, I began to compete with electronics - who would “read” the dirty numbers more. The wet weather helped a lot. Cars line the road in thick layers of dirt and chemicals. I had to give up quickly. When I was forced to capitulate with my excellent vision, the camera coped with the task.

Sometimes even in the electronic "brains" doubts creep in. It's okay - these pictures with "asterisks" will also complement the number of puzzles for AMPP and MADI

We were also lucky to run into foreign numbers. There are no exceptions for photography. The Belarusian guest will receive a souvenir photo through the customs authorities.

To hide from the watchful eye of the "parkon", drivers sometimes try to reduce the distance between the bumpers of two cars as much as possible. Yes, it will probably work only if you stand really close. The camera is set at such an angle to reduce the chances of concealing the number. The driver of the "parkon" can theoretically turn the camera. Such an initiative, according to Mikhail, is welcome, but in reality, you almost never have to mess with the camera.

And some car owners seek to avoid punishment by driving the car somewhere far away on the sidewalk. In the near future, "parkons" will get to them. More precisely, they have already arrived. The fact that the camera is easily able to find a car among pedestrians, I myself saw for myself. True, fines are not issued yet.

We are currently testing equipment and information systems. The optimal position of the camera and the angle of inclination are studied.

In this case, the “parkon” found a car on the sidewalk, but it still won’t be possible to punish absolutely everyone. At what angle do not put the camera, it will not see through the obstacle. Tow trucks, however, have not been canceled

You don't have to worry about geolocation accuracy anymore. A huge number of incorrectly determined coordinates - 10-15% - have been reduced over time. “Now the number of marriages is less than 2% for all types of fixation. This is influenced by complex weather, especially in winter. As for geopositioning, we use GLONASS and GPS modules, which reduces the error. And the new ones more allowed to reach the level of error up to one parking place. And in difficult and narrow places, foot patrols of the AMPP are monitoring paid parking, we coordinate routes together with our colleagues, ”the deputy head of the TsODD told us.

"Parkons" and people

Although in general there was order with parking on our route, there are still enough violators. I notice a Peugeot driver ahead. He's parked under a hazard warning sign, apparently recently, and is now in a hurry to get back to his car. But, noticing the car of the TsODD, it freezes for a while. In this couple of seconds, I managed to read hope in his eyes ... I just want to shrug - no luck! Nothing depends on the driver of the "parkon".

According to the regulations, they are forbidden to talk with other road users. No self-activity. However, sometimes you have to get in touch with civilization. “Remember that evening when there was a failure in the mobile application “Parking of Moscow”? People in a panic literally threw themselves under the wheels with questions. Then, of course, he calmly explained what and how, ”recalls Mikhail. But this case is rather an exception.

And I remember how in the early days of the parkons, many residents of the capital accused their drivers of hack work, violations of the rules and other sins. So, pictures of mobile complexes with closed numbers walked around the Internet.

The first paid public parking appeared on the streets of Moscow relatively recently, in 2013. Such an experiment, as noted by representatives of the Moscow Department of Transport, managed to bring positive results: in addition to additional financial injections into the city budget, such an “innovation” made it possible to significantly streamline the parking of vehicles on city streets.

But also negative sides such an innovation was not long in coming: many drivers unwittingly turned out to be violators due to the resulting confusion with road signs posted along with existing ones. It is not uncommon that in such urban traffic conditions, even an experienced driver cannot always easily determine where the paid parking zone begins and, no less important, where it ends. Let's try to figure out what the territory of paid parking spaces is. What should a paid parking sign look like? In what way should I pay for a parking space, and in what cases is it not required to pay for parking?

How are parking zones organized and controlled?

Paid parking spaces are, as a rule, specially equipped and equipped areas adjacent to the roadside, roadway, sidewalk, bridge, and so on. The state parking zone on a paid basis is intended for organized legal parking of vehicles. On the territory allotted for these purposes, there is a road marking of parking spaces and a paid parking sign - the Paid Parking sign.

Paid parking zones are controlled by special cars - parkons. At the entrance to the territory of the parking zone near the parkon, a fixing device is activated via GPS, which includes two cameras for capturing numbers parked in this moment cars and the general plan of the parking lot. Vehicle numbers marked in the parking area are transferred to the electronic database, after which special program analyzes the received data. As a result, vehicles belonging to the preferential category of drivers, special vehicles and cars that have paid for paid parking services are automatically filtered out in the database. Parking inspectors are on duty along with parked cars in the paid parking area, recording information about parked vehicles using a tablet computer.

Information about violators is transmitted every evening to the traffic police traffic police center, where the final data processing is carried out, as a result of which the driver who violated the rules for using state paid parking receives a fine notice, confirmed by a photograph of the offense.

Where can I park my car: what does the parking lot sign look like?

In urban areas, especially on central streets, finding a parking space can be very difficult. But even if it was possible to park the car in such a way that parking does not bother anyone at first glance, the driver may be in for an unpleasant surprise in the form of a fine or evacuation of the car to a car impound. How to find the "right" place for your vehicle? The current traffic rules adopted a single road sign 6.4 "Parking", which looks like a white letter "P" on a blue background.

This road sign can be supplemented below with another sign indicating the type of transport for which the parking spaces are intended and the method of parking, a sign indicating the area of ​​the parking zone, a sign "Parking for the disabled" and others. The parking space indicated by these road signs may be free or paid. How to understand that we have a sign indicating paid parking?

What does the Paid Parking sign include?

In order not to become a violator of the rules regarding paid public parking, the driver needs to know what the paid parking sign looks like. What kind road signs are a signal that you have to pay for a parking space? Home " distinguishing feature”, which allows you to determine the sign of paid parking, - road sign 8.8, located under the parking sign. This is a white plate with a stylized image of three "coins" - three black circles with the numbers "10", "15", "20".

How is the paid parking area marked?

How to determine where the zone reserved for paid parking spaces begins and ends? The beginning of the paid parking zone is a sign that complements the paid parking sign, "10 15 20" (which means paid parking). Without this tandem of road signs, any parking area cannot be considered paid parking.

The end of the parking zone, where the paid parking sign is valid, is indicated by a sign with the image of a diagonal strikethrough of the “Parking” sign. Another signal for the completion of any, free or paid, parking may be the sign 3.27 "Stop is prohibited."

Additionally, the state paid parking zone is indicated by a sign - a shield with the inscription "You are entering the paid parking zone." Similarly, a road sign "You are leaving the paid parking area" should indicate the end of the area. But such signs are not available everywhere.

Ways to pay for a parking space

Another question that may arise for a driver who uses paid parking for the first time for parking: where and how can I pay for this service? There are currently five available deposit methods Money:

• Pay through a special terminal-parking meter. To do this, you will need to buy a scratch card in advance in the salon of one of the mobile operators or use your regular bank card. You cannot pay with cash on these machines. The instructions for further manipulations are quite simple: insert the card, select the interactive “Pay” button on the parking meter screen, confirm the data (paid time, parking number), pay. Be sure to keep the ticket (receipt), which, in case of disputes, will be the main confirmation of the timely payment of the parking space.
• Via SMS (any telecom operator). It is quite quick and easy to do this - you need to send a message of the following type to a single number 7757: "parking number * state number of your car * amount of time (in hours) that the car will stay in the parking lot." After this action, the payment will be made from the mobile account. The only thing to take care of in advance is that there is a sufficient amount of money on the phone account. In a similar way, if necessary, you can extend the previously paid time by sending SMS “x1” to the same number (Instead of “1”, a different number of hours can be indicated). When exiting a paid parking lot, send an "S" message to 7757. In this case, the unspent balance of funds will be returned to the driver's mobile account. The disadvantage of this method is that individual mobile operators may additionally charge a commission fee for the operation.
• Through an online application installed on a smartphone. You will need to install the application "Parking" of your city: go to the site "Parking space" ("Parking space of Moscow" for the capital's drivers) and register, having received to work on the portal " Personal Area". Download from the site and install a special application on your smartphone. Top up an electronic cash account on the parking portal to pay for a parking space. After that, the payment for parking will look like this: when entering the paid parking area, the driver must launch the mobile application, enter the electronic "Personal Account" and activate the "Park" button. To stop the payment time, the application is equipped with the "Leave" button, and to extend the paid time, respectively, extend it.
• Deposit money to pay for parking through a regular payment terminal (for example, QIWI) using a section specially designed for this.
• Among other things, drivers have the opportunity to buy a parking pass for the state paid parking area. This document is purchased for a period of one month or a year and allows you to use paid parking without paying an hourly fee. The disadvantages of this payment method are that the subscription is not valid 24 hours a day, but only from 06:00 to midnight.

What to do if it is not possible to pay for parking in a paid parking lot?

As it has already become clear, for law-abiding drivers who pay for a parking space in a timely manner, there are various options making payment. For situations where, for any reason, to use accessible ways It is not possible to deposit money for parking; there is a Single Center where the driver can contact by phone. Employees of the Center will register the appeal and issue the appropriate number to the driver, which in the future will be the basis for preventing collection.

How far does the sign apply?

So, knowing how all the signs of a paid parking zone required by law look like, strictly following the established procedure for using state paid parking, a law-abiding driver gets an excellent opportunity to calmly leave his vehicle in a well-maintained parking lot without the risk of getting a fine or becoming a “victim of a tow truck”. However, due to the regular expansion of specially designated areas for paid parking spaces, not all paid parking areas can be marked or equipped with billboards indicating the beginning and end of the parking area. In this case, are there any ways to know for sure how far after the sign the Paid Parking sign applies?

• If there is a parking sign without additionally indicating the length of the parking zone with other signs, it is allowed to park vehicles up to the first intersection, but not more than 5 m to the road crossing the carriageway with the parking zone.
• To indicate the extent of the zone to which the “Paid Parking” sign applies, the SDA provides for a special road sign 8.2.1 called “Action Area”. It looks like a sign with a black number and arrows on a white background and is placed, like other specifying road signs, under the "Parking" sign. The number indicated on the plate indicates the length of the parking zone in meters.
• The area suitable for stopping vehicles, located before the signs of paid parking, does not fall under the coverage area of ​​the road sign. Parking in front of the “Paid Parking” sign will not be paid, but the driver who left the car outside the official parking zone risks violating other traffic rules.
• Territories belonging to the yards of nearby houses cannot be included in paid parking zones.

It is important! You should also remember about the effect of other road signs installed in the same area as the paid parking sign. For example, a road sign such as “No Parking” located near an officially posted parking lot significantly reduces the coverage area of ​​the 6.4 sign. Therefore, if the territory is not marked with boards of the beginning and end of the parking zone, you should be guided by the above sign "Area of ​​operation" and road markings.

Who is entitled to use paid parking without paying?

Does a paid parking sign always mean that you have to pay for parking? The current traffic rules and legislation governing the principles of organization of city paid parking lots establish a number of categories of privileged drivers who have the right to use paid parking spaces for free:

• Disabled persons and legal representatives of children with disabilities.
• WWII veterans.
• Large families.
• Participants in the defense of the city of Moscow.
• Electric vehicle drivers.
• Persons who were prisoners of concentration camps during the Second World War as minors.
• Motorcyclists.
• Emergency vehicles.

The above road users have the right to issue a parking permit on the basis of supporting documents. Separately, regulations governing the rules for using state paid parking lots stipulate the conditions for preferential parking for residents or tenants of housing located in the territory to which paid parking belongs. Residents of houses in the parking area are entitled to the following benefits:

• Owners (tenants) have the right to issue a residence permit for themselves - a document confirming the right to use paid parking spaces free of charge every day from 20:00 to 08:00 (but no more than two permits per household).
• On the basis of residence law, you can additionally receive an annual subscription that allows you to use parking during the daytime at a reduced cost (from 3,000 rubles).

You can apply for a discounted parking pass and a permit for free overnight parking by contacting the nearest MFC department.

It is important! Preferential parking conditions do not apply to drivers with unpaid (overdue) fines for traffic violations. For this reason, it is necessary to check in a timely manner information about the absence of such debts through the website of the State Traffic Inspectorate or the State Services portal.

When can you park for free?

Not later than in 2015, the experiment of the Government of Moscow was completed and was recognized as very successful. In accordance with the new changes, paid zones parking, marked with signs-tables with a notice that no parking fee is charged on weekends and holidays, drivers can use free of charge:

• Every Sunday and Saturday following a public holiday.
• On non-working holidays.
• Weekend days officially rescheduled under federal law.

The exception is parking lots, where signs-signs "Parking on weekends for a fee" are installed.

Problems when using paid parking

Unfortunately, we have to admit that the organization of paid parking has a number of shortcomings. Despite the ongoing work to eliminate shortcomings, there are still a lot of complaints and questions related to paid parking on the forums of motorists. Such comments from "clients", drivers of vehicles, are most common:

• Confusion with road signs. Most often this is due to the "human factor". For example, road signs may be installed erroneously. Or the driver finds road signs that contradict the parking permit near the place where the paid parking sign “10 15 20” was recently installed, which means the following: the previous signs were not dismantled due to an oversight. Often such misunderstandings are eliminated by the installers themselves or by a call (complaint) from the drivers.
• Uneven or erased parking lot markings.
• Fines due to parking meter error. Most often, this is a common technical failure, due to which information about the payment or the location of the car was transferred out of time or not transferred at all to the common database of the parking space. Such fines can be easily challenged, especially if you have a saved coupon in your hands.
