Area of ​​action of the road sign parking. What does the Paid Parking sign include?

Let's figure out what is"Parking prohibited" signover what distance it acts and what subtleties this prohibiting element has in 2018. In addition, we will find out what awaits the driver who violates the ban established by the limiter and to whom its action does not apply.

First, let's figure out what this very sign looks like. Many confuse it as appearance, and by the mechanism of regulation traffic with a similar prohibition.

No parking signis a blue circle in a red frame, crossed out by a single red stripe from left to right. And if you drove into the zone of action of this limiter, then you will not be able to stop and leave the car.

Prohibition sign 3.28 restricts the parking of all vehicles, but at the same time allows stopping for unloading or loading, as well as for disembarking or embarking passengers. Stopping is allowed even if it lasts more than 5 minutes. The sign is valid not on both sides of the roadway, but only on the one where it is directly installed. Thus, the driver can safely park the car on the other side of the street, if there are no restrictions on this.

Varieties of this sign include limiters that prohibit parking on even and odd days. In this case, the main sign is supplemented by one white vertical strip inside a blue background for odd days and two for even days.

Restriction area and supplementary signs

According to the rules of the road, parking is prohibited immediately after the reporting sign. That is, in front of him, the driver may well stop the car and go about his business. For the limiter, this will already be counted as a violation of traffic rules.

Let's figure out how long the limiter applies.

  • If the sign is located within the city, then the nearest intersection terminates its operation. At the same time, intersecting roads of different levels are not considered an intersection.
  • If the sign is installed on a country road, then the beginning locality means the termination of the restriction.
  • The same applies to the sign of the end of the settlement, if before that there was a restriction, then having left the city, village or village, the driver can safely stop the car for a long period of time.
  • Sign 3.31 also terminates all possible restrictions, including parking.
  • In addition, the sign "Parking is prohibited" may be adjacent to the supplementary plate 8.2.2, which establishes the distance during which the limiter is in effect.

You should also take into account the information on the joint plates. For example, an arrow in both directions, together with a round sign, means that the driver is still in the area of ​​​​the latter. If the car owner saw the sign "Parking is prohibited" supplemented with an arrow down, then after it you can stop, this is the end of the coverage area.

Also, along with the main plate, you can see supplementary 8.4.1 - 8.4.8, they indicate the type of transport that is subject to the restriction sign. If your car does not belong to them, you can safely leave it in the area of ​​the sign.

Exceptions to the rule

If a no parking signis not supplemented with a sign explaining which type of transport the restriction applies to, which means that all road users must take it into account. However, there are a number of exceptions.

  • Parking in the restricted area is available for passenger taxis. An important condition while the taximeter is on. That is, the driver can wait for passengers, doing his immediate work.
  • Vehicles for people with disabilities of groups 1 and 2, as well as cars carrying people with disabilities or personal vehicles used to transport children with disabilities. Cars must be equipped with special stickers. Also, if necessary, the traffic police officer may request supporting documents.
  • Vehicles of the Russian Post can also park in the area of ​​the prohibition sign.

There are few exceptions, but they do exist. As mentioned above, vehicles carrying out loading or unloading can stand in the restricted zone, and it does not matter how long the process takes.

Penalties

As a rule, a “No Parking” sign is installed in places where a parked car will interfere with the movement of pedestrians and the passage of other cars. You can also find a sign in places where parking a vehicle reduces overall road safety. Or a parked car forces other drivers to violate traffic rules. Whatever the reason, this sign, in contrast to the “No Stopping” signal, allows you to stop under normal conditions for a period of not more than 5 minutes. This is enough to land or disembark passengers.

Let's figure out what the driver should expect if the traffic police inspector notices a violation. Sanctions for this are designated as a fine for improper parking. The list of violations contains a lot of situations, among them parking a car in the area of ​​​​limitingNo stop sign.

In 2018, for such a violation in Moscow and St. Petersburg, a fine of 3,000 rubles and the detention of a vehicle are provided, drivers of the regions will pay less for a similar offense - 1,500 rubles.

Have you ever had to pay a fine for parking violations? Tell us your story, what caused the violation?

Per last years innovations have appeared in our lives that have come as a surprise to many. One of them was the collection of fees for parking vehicles in the central regions of Moscow. Without questioning the feasibility of this project, we will try to figure out how and in what amounts payment is made, which paid parking sign is provided for by traffic rules.

Measures to streamline the parking of vehicles

The increase in the number of vehicles on the roads of Russia has given rise to a number of problems. Among them, one of the most relevant is the difficulty in finding parking spaces on the busy streets of cities and towns. Paradoxical as it may seem, but the driver is sometimes forced to leave the car not where he needs it, but where it is not prohibited.

However, finding such a place can be very difficult, because it is not without reason that section 12 provides for more than ten cases in which stopping or parking is prohibited. Considering that they are joined by some types of road markings, which also limit the parking space, it is quite clear that this cannot but introduce unnecessary nervousness into traffic.

Sign "Paid parking" in traffic rules

To simplify the task of drivers, an information road sign 6.4 "Parking (parking space)" was specially established. It indicates that the platform in front of which it is installed, or some part of it, is specially designed for parking vehicles. But our life is so arranged that you have to pay for everything (except for cheese lying in a mousetrap), so the joy of drivers is often overshadowed by the sign 8.8 “Paid services” attached to this sign. The photographs in this article will tell you how the paid parking sign looks like.

In our country, there are a lot of paid services (as opposed to free ones) for owners of personal vehicles. Suffice it to mention the transport tax, insurance, fuel and even travel on a number of highways. Therefore, the paid parking sign (photo below) is not something exceptional. It informs the driver that a certain fee is charged for the use of the parking area.

Signs that are widely used today

Paid parking sign has changed objective reality, like rain, snow, or it is impossible to fight with it - you need to adapt to it and, if circumstances force you to be in its zone of action, try to correctly fulfill all the requirements and not incur additional troubles in the form of fines provided for disobeying its instructions.

Paid parking signs in Moscow can be seen on the territory limited by the outer radius of the Kremlin and Moskovsky embankments. The sector within Chekhov Street and Tsvetnoy Boulevard reaches outside Garden Ring.

Paid parking zone designations

In order to accurately determine whether the sign " Paid parking» to the area where the driver intends to leave his car, he must carefully look at exactly which road signs are in front of him. First of all, make sure that there is a sign 6.4 "Parking (Parking space)".

Then pay attention to whether there is a paid parking sign under it - "10 15 20" (image of coins), which was mentioned above. In addition, a sign may be installed on the road with an inscription informing that the driver is entering an area where parking fees are charged. It is important to keep in mind that if these signs are not present, then parking in this area is free.

The driver, before leaving the car in the place he has chosen, should keep in mind that the presence of appropriate markings and information posters may indicate that, when entering the parking zone, he did not see the sign "Paid Parking Zone" in a timely manner. In this case, it is recommended to make sure that it is absent again.

It should be borne in mind that the paid parking area ends when the driver sees the same paid parking sign in front of him, but crossed out with slanted lines. Signs with the inscription “You are leaving the paid parking zone” may contain similar information. It is important to note that the “Paid Parking” sign does not apply to courtyards.

Questions related to paying for a parking space

Having completed the conversation about what sign indicates paid parking, you need to figure out how it is paid. This will help you avoid a lot of trouble. If the driver ended up exactly on the site where paid parking signs are installed (in Moscow or any other city), it is very important that the payment is made correctly and in a timely manner. To do this, he must know several simple rules this unpleasant but necessary procedure.

The Paid Parking Zone sign informs you that you have to pay, but does not indicate how much. You should know that the price in this case is fixed - one hour of parking costs fifty or sixty rubles. If you left the car for less than fifteen minutes, parking is not paid. Several forms of payment are provided. The most common is the transfer of the payment amount via SMS.

Paying for parking using mobile devices

To do this, the driver needs to send an SMS message from a smartphone or any other mobile device to number 7757 with a text that indicates the number of the parking lot where he is located and the registration number of his car. As separating mark an asterisk is placed between them. For example: 1004 * 006 a 254. Such a message means that the estimated parking time does not exceed one hour, and fifty rubles will be debited from the driver's account.

In case of longer parking, X2 or X3 is added to the text of the SMS, etc. In this case, the number after the letter X means the expected number of hours of stay where the paid parking sign is installed, and funds will be debited accordingly. When fifteen minutes remain before the end of the specified time, the driver receives a message with a proposal to extend, if necessary, the duration of the service provided to him.

To do this, he sends a new SMS to the same number with the text: X + a number from 1 to 24 indicating the duration of the parking. The rules also provide for the early completion of parking and the preservation of funds on the customer's parking account. In this case, the text of the SMS message is limited to one letter S or C, and the saved amount can be used next time.

Parking meter services

An alternative form of payment is payments made through parking meters, which are equipped with some Moscow parking lots. Payment in this case is made using bank cards or scratch cards. with detailed step by step instructions payment can be found directly at the parking meter.

Since 2013, paid parking zones have appeared on the streets of Moscow. Even some experienced drivers have not yet learned how to quickly navigate this innovation, to determine where the boundaries of the parking area are and when it is possible not to pay.

What is such a territory

The emergence of controlled parking zones has both advantages and disadvantages. Several years of using the new methodology showed that drivers began to park their cars in a more orderly manner and more funds began to flow into the city budget.

However, confusion arose. Since new signs were sometimes placed next to the old ones, drivers could not decide which one was correct and therefore became lawbreakers, unwittingly.

A paid parking zone is an area equipped for parking cars. As a rule, it adjoins the roadway, bridge or sidewalk. Such places are marked with clear road signs.

Now people don't charge for parking. Moreover, they cannot affect the cost of a parking space in any way. An automated system now monitors the payment of money.

Special cars - parkons - are equipped with recognition devices:

  1. When vehicle enters the territory of paid parking, the device reads the license plates and monitors whether the payment has been made.
  2. After that by state numbers the system checks which type of vehicle has entered.
  3. Can distinguish between personal vehicles, special equipment and company vehicles.
  4. Data on violators is collected and transferred to the traffic police. There, the final processing of the data is carried out, as a result of which the offender is fined for improper use of the state paid parking.

prohibition signs

To avoid unnecessary problems with law enforcement, it is necessary to clearly define the areas where leaving the vehicle is prohibited by law. The following signs will help the driver find his way.

It is important to understand the difference between these concepts. A stop is understood as a short-term leaving of the car without movement, as a rule, up to 5 minutes.

If the car remains in one place long enough, the situation is regarded as parking. At the same time, if goods are continuously loaded and unloaded from the car, this is still considered a stop.

In order not to get in the wrong place, you need to understand how far the above road signs apply:

  • if the car stopped before the sign, this territory does not fall under its prohibitive effect;
  • the sign applies only to the side of the traffic on which it is installed;
  • termination of the sign - the end of the intersection, unless otherwise indicated by additional signs;
  • the sign "End of all restrictions" can stop the operation of pointers;
  • the sign does not apply to the new settlement.

The following illustration describes the nuances of the duration of stop and stop signs.


Knowing and following the rules eliminates many troubles and helps to determine the zone, if the distance is not indicated according to other principles.

Designation of parking spaces

Leaving your car in the city can be problematic. But even in those places where, as it seems, parking is not prohibited, the driver can expect an unpleasant surprise.

It is important to be able to clearly distinguish between parking zones and understand where this action is prohibited:

  1. Parking spaces are determined by sign No. 6.4 "Parking". His image is shown below.

  2. In some cases, the "Parking" sign is supplemented by other signs detailing who has the right to leave cars in this place. For example, it could be .

  3. Paid parking should be marked a little differently. If there is no sign with three circles, inside which the numbers 10, 15 and 20, are not located under the letter "P", no money can be charged for parking.
  4. It looks like a sign indicating paid parking. Signs may be placed in some places to warn the driver that he is entering a paid parking area. However, such indicators are not located everywhere.

    Paid parking sign area

    Due to the fact that most parking areas are becoming more gentrified, motorists can safely leave their vehicles without worrying about their safety.

    However, how to determine where the territory of paid parking ends. These limits are not always clearly defined.

    The coverage area of ​​a parking sign without markings is as follows:

  • to the next intersection;
  • no closer than 5 meters to the next carriageway;
  • if under the sign "Paid parking" there is a sign indicating the distance in meters, then the duration of the sign should be observed based on these provisions;
  • if a parking lot is followed by a “No Parking” or “No Stopping” sign, the driver must heed several signs at the same time.

The group of paid parking does not include territories belonging to the yards of apartment buildings.

How to determine where parking begins and ends

The parking zone begins with the corresponding "Parking" sign, the coverage area of ​​which may vary depending on many factors.

The place where the parking area ends in some cases is indicated by the appropriate banner:

However, it is not uncommon to have only one sign at the beginning. The driver calculates the end of the parking lot himself based on the traffic rules and the existing markings.

The social parking zone is an area for parking cars, which will remain free. This includes parking spaces near clinics, hospitals, social centers and other significant places.

These places are marked with a special sign: "Free parking in the zone of a social facility."

Territory of the residence permit

Since the advent of paid parking in Moscow, an opportunity has arisen. This document gives the right to people living near paid parking areas to leave their cars there on preferential terms.

The zone of validity of a resident permit extends to the entire area of ​​​​residence of the person for whom the document is issued.

Table. Conditions for obtaining a residence permit.

The permit must be issued by the owner of the apartment or the tenant on the basis of a lease agreement.

What does yellow mark mean?

What are the dangers of a yellow mark in a parking zone? The driver must be extremely careful, as often some road signs seem to be installed on purpose so that the motorist violates some rule.

The yellow line is equivalent in strength to sign 3.27, which prohibits stopping. Sometimes among the parking spaces there is something like the following, which is shown in the photo.

As a result, the driver, thinking that he is driving into the parking zone, grossly violates the rules. It is worth being very vigilant so as not to get into the yellow parking zone. For what purpose such sites are created is not clear.

At the slightest doubt that it is possible to leave a car in this zone, it is better to refuse parking and look for another place. For leaving the car in the wrong place, the vehicle will be evacuated, and you will have to look for it at the penalty area.

Preferential categories of citizens

Even in paid parking lots, there are categories of the population that are entitled to free parking.

Even if a sign is installed suggesting paid parking, the following categories of the population of citizens may not pay for a place:

  • disabled people;
  • large families;
  • WWII veterans;
  • representatives of children with disabilities;
  • participants in the defense of Moscow;
  • drivers of bicycles and electric vehicles;
  • motorcyclists;
  • prisoners of concentration camps;
  • emergency transport.

However, in order to park for free, it is not enough just to belong to this category of citizens. It is necessary to issue a parking permit in accordance with all the rules.

Those who have already been fined for can not issue a permit. First, you should pay the debts, issue a permit, and only then, if you wish, proceed to protest administrative penalties.

Rules for the Disabled

Free parking in Moscow in paid places can only be for those disabled people who:

  • received a parking permit;
  • have an appropriate document confirming the category;
  • equipped their cars with special yellow signs.

The right to free parking can only be used by disabled people of the first and second groups, as well as family members accompanying a person with disabilities.

For holidays and weekends

In 2015, the government instituted an experiment, according to which, at a certain time, all paid parking lots became free.

These include:

  • all weekends;
  • public holidays;
  • non-working days following holidays.

    However, there are exceptions here too. Some parking lots are equipped with signs: "Parking on weekends for a fee."

    Pros and cons of the service

    The advantages of creating paid parking zones include:

    • saving space by creating multi-level parking lots;
    • no fraud thanks to and photo-fixation of violations;
    • a more responsible approach of drivers to leaving a car near the road;
    • release of the main highways of the city;
    • reducing the creation of emergencies.

    Drivers note that now it has become easier to find a place to leave your car in the city center.

    The disadvantages of the formation of paid parking include:

    • confusion with signs;
    • Difficulties in paying electronically;
    • erroneous fines that have to be protested;
    • a large congestion of the yards of residential buildings with other people's cars.

    AT recent times in Moscow and some other major cities RF began to appear paid parking. Until now, many drivers simply do not know how these zones are designated. A paid parking sign is provided to distinguish between these areas. Next, consider its main nuances.

    Paid parking zone designation

    In a metropolis, it is extremely difficult to find a place where you could leave your car for a while. A single sign was adopted to designate the parking zone - 6.4. Parking. It looks like a white capital letter P on a light blue background.

    At the same time, any parking lot can have its own characteristics. In particular, paid parking is indicated by an additional sign 8.8. It is a white plate with 3 coins, in the center of which are the numbers 10, 15 and 20. Thus, the beginning of the paid parking zone is indicated. The end of this area is indicated by a crossed-out parking sign.

    Organization and control

    Paid parking places are an equipped area that is adjacent to a sidewalk or curb. Such zones are designed to organize legally equipped parking of vehicles. They are marked with certain road markings, designed to control the location of vehicles. The first thing drivers see in front of them is a paid parking sign.

    To control such territories, parkons, special vehicles, run. When another car enters the territory, their locking device instantly turns on. It is with the help of cameras and GPS navigators controls the registration numbers of arriving vehicles.

    All data scanned by the fixing device enters the database. Further computer program screens out cars that belong to the privileged category of citizens or those who have already paid for paid parking services. In addition to parkons, there are inspectors on the territory who collect information about the vehicle using a tablet.

    Every day (usually in the evening) the collected information is transmitted to the traffic police information center. It processes data on violators, that is, citizens who ignored the need for payment. As a result, all these drivers are sent a notice of a fine with photo confirmation of the violation.

    What is the scope of this sign

    The presence of guarded parking allows drivers to safely leave their cars without fear that something will happen to them, because such areas are guarded and under constant video surveillance. However, at the moment, due to the expansion of paid parking lots (especially in Moscow), not all parking zones have appropriate markings or special boards that limit the beginning and end of the parking zone.

    Therefore, the driver needs to know how far the sign is valid:

    • If there is a paid parking sign without additional length indicators, then it is permissible to park the vehicle to the nearest intersection. In this case, the distance should be no more than 5 meters before the intersection of the carriageways.
    • An additional plate (No. 8.2.1) “Area of ​​validity” is provided to indicate the duration of the paid parking sign. It is a rectangular plate with a black number (indicates the number of meters) and an arrow on a white background. It is located below the paid parking sign.
    • That part of the road section that is suitable for parking vehicles and at the same time is located before the “paid parking” sign does not fall within the scope of this road sign. Drivers who leave their vehicle in this area do not need to pay paid parking, but most likely they will violate any other traffic rules by doing so.
    • Territories that are located next to the courtyards of nearby residential buildings are not included in the paid parking zone. This space is intended for parking of cars of tenants and their guests.

    Rules regarding parking fees

    Russian legislation provides for clauses according to which certain categories of citizens are exempted from paying for paid parking.

    • disabled persons of any group or their representatives;
    • war veterans;
    • members of large families;
    • owners of electric vehicles;
    • former prisoners of concentration camps;
    • motorcycle owners;
    • emergency workers.

    In order to obtain the right to free parking, a representative of any of the above categories of citizens must issue permits. To do this, you need to apply with documents confirming the benefits to the local administration or the HOA, which includes the territory adjacent to the parking lot.

    The regulations also provide preferential terms for residents of houses nearby to paid parking or tenants of commercial premises. In particular, they have the following benefits:

    • Apartment owners (or tenants) can obtain a resident permit. This document allows you to leave your vehicle free of charge between 20:00 and 08:00. At the same time, no more than 2 such documents can be issued for one dwelling.
    • Residents can purchase an annual daytime parking pass. The cost is 3000 rubles, which is much cheaper than using it on a general basis.

    The fastest way to issue these documents at the MFC. Preferential conditions do not apply to drivers who have overdue traffic police fines.

    On the video about paid parking

    Many drivers (especially in Moscow) do not like the fact that state paid parking lots have begun to appear. However, their presence is intended to improve the condition of the road infrastructure by replenishing the budget. Whether there will be a positive trend - time will tell.
