Parking sign 10 15 20 what does it mean. Paid parking zone designation

No one can argue with the idea that movement is life. By the way, a moving car is no exception to this law of existence. But there are situations when the movement has to be interrupted. In the SDA, this process is called “parking” or “stopping”. In a modern metropolis, by the way, the problem of stopping, and even more so parking, is sometimes much more serious than the movement itself. Still would! Cities are filled to overflowing with cars, and more and more often it turns out that the driver does not stop where it is possible, but where he can perch. And sometimes such tricks, such as parking under the sign "Parking is prohibited", end in fines, and in the worst case, sending the car to a car impound.

Description of the no parking sign

First of all, you should consider what the “No Parking” sign looks like. He has round shape and is approximately 0.25 m in diameter. In places where there are no settlements, its diameter should be at least 0.6 m. It has a blue background with a red border and slanted stripes.

About parking next to the "No Parking" sign

Violations can lead to very serious consequences for motorists who are inattentive and careless about road signs and markings. Every year the amount of fines for non-compliance with these regulations is growing. So, for example, in the code published in 2014, for ignoring the requirement “Parking is prohibited” (sign), a fine is imposed in the amount of 1,500 rubles in any locality, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg it increases to 3,000 rubles. By the way, depending on the situation, the detention of the vehicle is also provided.

Therefore, in order to avoid this, you need to clearly understand how and in what territory this sign operates, and take into account all the subtleties prescribed in the traffic rules on the road.

What is the difference between "stop" and "stop"

For many participants traffic the concepts of "stop" and "parking" cause difficulties, and it is necessary to distinguish between them in order not to fall under the action of fines or, even worse, in an accident.

Speaking as simply as possible, these concepts differ in the duration of the process. A stop is the cessation of movement on short term, and parking implies a longer period of time.

In the rules, a stop is explained as no more than a five-minute deliberate braking, and a parking is the cessation of further movement on long time, which is not related to the embarkation or disembarkation of passengers, as well as the unloading or loading of baggage.

How does a stop sign work?

Since, of course, it cannot allow parking either, we will call it like this: the sign "Stopping and parking is prohibited."

It is installed on a variety of sections of roads and, if there are no other signs that interrupt the operation of the described one, then its ban is extended to the first intersection. Please note that exits from yards or any sections do not equate to an intersection! If there are no intersections in the settlement where this sign is installed, then the ban is extended until the border of this locality.

Most often, the mentioned sign is placed on bridges, where the driver will find it difficult to determine the boundaries of the structure on the go.

The restriction of its action has the same rules as for the No Parking sign. We will consider them below.

The effect of the sign "Stop, parking is prohibited"

Let's figure out what exactly and to whom this sign prohibits. The main thing to remember is that it does not allow stopping, disembarking, embarking passengers from any mode of transport, except for public transport and taxis.

The sign is located on the right side of the road or above it. True, its action is limited only to the side where it is installed. By the way, please note that the presence of this sign implies a prohibition of stopping on sites built for public transport, as well as in the so-called "pockets".

Roadsides and sidewalks are part of the highway, and, accordingly, are also subject to the described sign.

Is it possible to stop under the sign "Parking prohibited"

Now let's move on to a more "democratic" "No Parking" sign. Drivers, especially those who have recently been behind the wheel, forget that it does not only allow parking, and stopping in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bit is possible. If yours is under the sign for no more than five minutes, as well as in cases where traffic is stopped in order to drop off or pick up a passenger (equivalently, in order to unload or take on cargo), then the requirements of the rules will not be violated. In these cases, a stop is made that is not regulated by the named sign.

Limits of the ban

It is very important to clearly understand the boundaries within which the “No Parking” sign operates. They start directly from the place where it is installed and stretch to the sections of the road that will be listed:

  • this may be the nearest intersection in the direction of your movement;
  • the zone can last up to the edge of the settlement;
  • the border of action can also continue to the place where the sign "End of the zone of all restrictions" is installed.

As soon as you cross the named sections of the highway, parking of vehicles is again allowed (you should immediately make a reservation that only if there are no other prohibiting mechanisms prescribed in section No. 12 of the SDA). But the action of the described sign is not interrupted in places where there is an exit from areas adjacent to the road (for example, yards or residential areas), as well as at intersections with unpaved roads, if there is no road in front of them. By the way, please note that these rules apply equally to the described sign, and to the sign "Stopping and parking is prohibited", which was mentioned above.

What information is provided by additional signs on the signs "Parking is prohibited"

Their area of ​​operation is sometimes and is more specifically indicated with the help of additional information on the plates or signs attached next to them.

So, for example, a plate with an arrow pointing up and a distance designation (822), combined with our sign, will indicate the distance to which the prohibition applies. As soon as you pass it, the ban ends and you can stop.

The plate in the form of an arrow pointing down (823) regulates the prohibition as follows: the prohibition zone ends, and the sign extends to the part of the road that is located in front of the place where the road sign “No Parking” and this plate are located.

A sign in the form of a two-way arrow (up and down) once again makes it clear to the driver that he continues to be in the prohibition zone (824). That is, the mode that was set by the previous sign of the same type has not yet been canceled.

Plates in the form of arrows pointing left and right (825 or 826) are used to limit parking along the facade of any buildings. Parking under the "No Parking" sign is not allowed from the place where the sign is installed and in the direction of the arrows (or one of them). But the prohibition applies only to the distance indicated on the plate.

What do one or two stripes mean

In some cases, the "No Parking" sign may also include one or two vertical stripes. They indicate that parking in the no-go zone is only allowed on odd (one bar) or even (two bars) days of each month.

It is also possible that there is an alternation other than daily. In such cases, the stripes on the sign are replaced by dates that indicate the rotation period. For example, from the 1st to the 15th and from the 16th to the 31st, alternating from the 1st to the 16th, every month.

When is it possible to park in the restricted area?

By the way, the action of the sign "Parking is prohibited" is also reduced with the help of the sign "Parking" (64). But it should be noted that this sign must in this case be combined with a plate indicating the distance to which the zone of this prohibition extends (821).

Along with the “No Parking” sign, in some cases, you can also see the markings on the asphalt, in the form of a yellow dashed line, which is applied over the curb, along the edge of the sidewalk or the roadway. It is easier to say that if the marking ends, then the restriction is also terminated, and parking is allowed again.

By the way, you must remember that the sign described in our article prohibits parking only on the side of the road where it is located.

Who is allowed to stop under a prohibition sign

Road users should remember that on legal grounds, the described sign can be ignored by drivers who are disabled people of groups I and II, or transport that transports such people of any age (including children), provided that this means of transportation is marked with the sign "Disabled". Stop under the sign "Parking is prohibited" is also allowed for taxi cars, if they include a taximeter, as well as cars that are the property of the federal postal service of the Russian Federation. The specified behavior is also allowed for vehicles that serve organizations, retail outlets, etc., if there are no workarounds for them in the area of ​​the ban.

Conflict situations

Now, after reading the material provided to your attention, it may become easier for you to figure out exactly how the “Parking is prohibited” sign and its more “strict colleague” - “Stopping is prohibited” operate.

Unfortunately, quite often situations arise when a driver is punished for parking where it is prohibited, but at the same time, stopping is allowed. In these cases, the inspector who draws up the report must provide evidence that the traffic was stopped for a period of more than 5 minutes and was not related to loading and unloading. Remember this! But do not violate the established rules yourself, since only such behavior will help establish order on the roads, which means that the way to work or home will not be associated with a lot of unpleasant situations for you.

One of the ways to optimize traffic on the road network is the competent organization of parking space on the roadway. All drivers are familiar with sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)”. The sign itself does not raise questions, however, according to GOST, its use is possible only with additional information plates and the definition of the parking area defined by this sign raises some questions.

Let us consider in detail how to correctly determine the parking space indicated by sign 6.4 in various situations.

Parking parallel to the edge of the road

The “Parking” sign installed without a plate with a restriction on the coverage area is valid until the nearest intersection. The plate “Parking method” must always be installed with this sign. This combination can be used to designate a paid parking zone. Do not forget about the prohibition of parking closer than 5 meters to the edge of the crossed carriageway.

Paid parking parallel to the edge of the road

  • Parking in your pocket

    To organize parking in the “pocket”, a sign with a restriction on the area of ​​​​the sign is used and, as noted above, the method of setting must be indicated.

    Please note that parking is not prohibited on the edge of the carriageway before and after the “pocket”. Parking is permitted in accordance with general rules stops and parking. At the same time, parking along the sidewalk line is prohibited, since entry and exit from the pocket will become impossible.


    If the sign is up in the direction of travel with a sign 8.17 "Disabled", then parking in a place marked with sign 6.4 only allowed for disabled people. Blocking the exit, as in the previous case, is prohibited.


    If the sign is up perpendicular to the direction of travel- it indicates a parking space for the disabled. According to GOST, the width of the parking space for the disabled is 3.6m, that is, 1.8m from the place where the sign is installed.


    Parking in the area of ​​the signs prohibiting stopping or parking

    When it is necessary to organize parking in the zone of action of signs prohibiting stopping or parking, it is allowed to use the sign “Parking” with the obligatory use of the sign “Area of ​​action”. In this case, the area of ​​prohibition signs will be limited to the distance indicated on the plate.

    For some reason, this moment is not reflected in and at first glance there is a feeling of a contradiction of signs. The possibility of such a limitation of the zone of action of prohibition signs is spelled out in GOST.

    The coverage area of ​​any of the signs 3.27-3.30 can be reduced by installing at the end of their coverage area repeated signs 3.27-3.30 with a plate 8.2.3 (which is preferable) or by using a plate 8.2.2 or by installing another sign from the specified list or installation of the sign 6.4 “Parking place” with the sign 8.2.1 “Area of ​​operation”.

    For violation of traffic rules in 2019, quite serious fines are provided. At the same time, among the numerous road signs, it is not so easy to navigate. Today we will consider in detail what is the area of ​​validity of the “No Parking” sign, what are its specifics.

    There can be many nuances that arise in the process of movement. For example, even stopping a car directly under a “no parking” sign will not always be a violation of the rules.

    Drivers need to know what kind of liability is provided for violation of the rules, when it can be avoided. Of course, it is important to be careful.

    No-parking signs are usually posted on sections of the road with heavy traffic, near construction sites, gas pipelines and intersections, and anywhere where stopping a vehicle could be a potential hazard.

    First of all, it is important to understand the essence of the sign "Parking is prohibited". Motorists often poorly distinguish it with the “No Stopping” sign.

    The question arises: if parking is prohibited, is stopping allowed? In this case, when it comes to the sign "Parking is prohibited", it is necessary to define the word "parking" in this context.

    Parking is understood to mean the cessation of movement of the vehicle for a time interval exceeding 5 minutes. At the same time, parking is not connected with boarding, disembarking people, moving luggage.

    If we are talking about the sign “Stopping is prohibited”, then a short-term stop is already provided here, less than 5 minutes. Under the road sign "Parking is prohibited" you can stop, but not for long. This is allowed by the rules.

    Besides, vehicle can stop if you need to wait for a passenger, unload or load luggage.

    Thus, in accordance with sign 3.28, it is prohibited to park vehicles on the side where the sign is located. You can stay in this area.

    These signs are installed on the following sections of the road:

    • where a standing car blocks the movement of pedestrians, the movement of cars;
    • where standing vehicles can reduce the safety of other participants;
    • where a parked vehicle provokes other drivers to break the rules.

    How long can you stand under a no parking sign? In accordance with current regulations: maximum 5 minutes.

    Now it's time to determine how the no parking sign works. According to the rules, it has the effect of:

    • at intersections with minor roads;
    • at the exits from the sites adjacent to the highway;
    • from the mounting site to the end of the settlement, if there is no intersection;
    • from the sign to the nearest intersection.

    Also, a road sign is sometimes installed along with the markings..

    It is a dashed yellow line that goes after the sign along the curb or border of the road, sidewalk. In this case, the sign will be valid throughout the marking, until its end.

    Additional pointing elements can also affect the zone of influence of the “No Parking” sign.

    Consider the types of pointers:

    There are also varieties road sign"no parking": with one, two light vertical stripes that are inside the crossed out field.
