Signs of special traffic regulations. Road signs for special regulations with explanations

On this topic.

Signs of special instructions introduce a special traffic mode, mandatory for road users, and also cancel this mode.

5.1 "". Road on which the requirements of the Rules apply traffic Russian Federation, establishing the order of movement on highways.

5.3"". A road intended for use only by cars, buses and motorcycles.

The main difference between signs 5.1 and 5.3 is that the “Highway” is always the main one, and the “Road for cars” can be a secondary one. At the same time, sign 5.3 does not prohibit the movement of vehicles whose weight exceeds 3.5 tons. Reversing on roads marked with signs 5.1 and 5.3 is prohibited.

5.5"". A road or carriageway along which vehicle traffic across its entire width is carried out in one direction.

• U-turns are prohibited on a one-way road.
• Reversing on a one-way road is not prohibited unless prohibited by a corresponding road sign.
• Stopping and parking on a one-way road in a populated area is permitted on both sides of the road, unless prohibited by the relevant road sign or markings.

5.7.1, 5.7.2 "". Entering a one-way road or carriageway. Sign 5.7.1 does not prohibit turning on the road being crossed against the direction of one-way traffic. When turning right at an intersection where sign 5.7.1 is installed, the driver must move as close as possible to the right side of the roadway. After turning, it is allowed to use the entire width of the roadway.

5.8"". The beginning of a section of road where one or more lanes may change direction to the opposite direction.

5.10 "".

When turning onto a road with reverse traffic, the driver must move in such a way as to take the far right lane when leaving the intersection of roadways. Changing lanes of a vehicle is allowed after the driver makes sure that movement in this direction is also permitted in other lanes.

5.11 "". A road on which the movement of route vehicles, cyclists and vehicles used as passenger taxis is carried out along a specially designated lane towards the general flow of vehicles.

When driving onto a section of the road marked with sign 5.11, the driver must understand that he is moving on a roadway for which one-way traffic rules apply. At the same time, route vehicles (and only) can move towards the general flow of traffic, which must have low beams or fog lights on at any time of the day or season.

5.12 "".

5.13.1, 5.13.2 "". It is prohibited to enter the lane allocated for route vehicles.

5.14"". A lane intended for the movement only of route vehicles, cyclists and vehicles used as passenger taxis moving in the same direction as the general flow of vehicles.

Typically, the lane allocated for route vehicles is indicated by horizontal markings 1.23 (the letter “A” depicted on the asphalt). If the lane for route vehicles is separated from a separate roadway by a solid line, other vehicles are prohibited from entering it; if intermittent, it is allowed to enter when entering a road with a right turn, as well as for boarding and disembarking passengers.

5.14.2 "" - a lane of the roadway intended for the movement of bicycles and mopeds, separated from the rest of the roadway by horizontal markings and marked with sign 5.14.2. The effect of this sign extends to the strip above which it is located. If the sign is installed to the right of the road, its effect extends to the right lane.

5.15.1 "". The number of lanes and permitted directions of movement for each of them.

5.15.2 "". Permitted lane directions.

Sign 5.15.1 is installed in front of the intersection - it determines the number of lanes when approaching the intersection and the direction of movement along the lanes at the intersection itself. When large quantity lanes or when the roadway is very wide, signs 5.15.2 are installed above the lanes. The effect of each such sign extends only to the lane above which it is installed, and the number of lanes is determined by the number of signs.

Signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, which permit a left turn from the extreme left lane, also permit a U-turn from this lane.

Signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 do not apply to route vehicles. The effect of signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 installed in front of the intersection applies to the entire intersection, unless other signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 installed on it give other instructions.

5.15.3 "". The beginning of an additional uphill or braking lane. If the sign installed in front of the additional lane displays sign(s) 4.6 “Minimum speed limit,” then the driver of a vehicle who cannot continue driving along the main lane at the indicated or higher speed must change lanes to the lane located to his right.

5.15.4 "". The beginning of the middle section of a three-lane road intended for traffic in a given direction. If sign 5.15.4 shows a sign prohibiting the movement of any vehicles, then the movement of these vehicles in the corresponding lane is prohibited.

Signs 5.15.3 and 5.15.4 indicate the beginning of an additional lane - usually this is a local widening of the roadway for a bus stop, a braking lane, or an additional lane on an ascent. Or is it an additional lane before the intersection.

5.15.5 "". The end of an additional uphill lane or acceleration lane.

5.15.6 "". The end of a section of the median on a three-lane road intended for traffic in a given direction.

Signs 5.15.5 and 5.15.6 indicate the end of the local widening or the end of the acceleration strip. When approaching such signs, the driver must change lanes from the ending lane to the adjacent one.

5.15.7 "". If sign 5.15.7 shows a sign prohibiting the movement of any vehicles, then the movement of these vehicles in the corresponding lane is prohibited. Signs 5.15.7 with the appropriate number of arrows can be used on roads with four or more lanes.

5.15.8 "". Indicates the number of lanes and lane modes. The driver is obliged to comply with the requirements of the signs marked on the arrows.

Signs 5.15.7 and 5.15.8 regulate only the number of lanes. Sign 5.15.7 determines the number of lanes allocated for both passing and oncoming traffic. Sign 5.15.8 sets the number of lanes for traffic in the same direction and introduces a certain mode of traffic along the lanes.

Drivers must comply with the requirements of the signs on the lanes shown on signs 5.15.1-5.15.8.

5.16 "".

5.17 "".

5.18 "".

5.19.1, 5.19.2 "". If there are no markings 1.14.1 or 1.14.2 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, and sign 5.19.2 is installed to the left of the road on the far border of the crossing. The distance between characters determines the width of the transition.

5.20 "". Indicates the boundaries of an artificial roughness. The sign is installed at the nearest boundary of the artificial hump relative to approaching vehicles.

To inform the driver about approaching a pedestrian crossing or an artificial hump, signs 1.22 and 1.17 are installed on the roadway.

5.21 "". The territory in which the requirements of the Traffic Rules are in force, establishing the rules of traffic in a residential area.

5.22 "".

5.23.1, 5.23.2 "". The beginning of a populated area in which the requirements of the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation are in force, establishing the procedure for traffic in populated areas.

5.24.1, 5.24.2 "". The place from which on a given road the requirements of the Road Traffic Rules, which establish traffic rules in populated areas, cease to apply.

Signs 5.23.2 and 5.24.2 can be installed:

• if the settlement regime needs to be introduced on a section of the road with buildings that are not part of any settlement;
• at secondary entrances to the populated area;
• at the beginning/end of residential development in cases where the road repeatedly crosses the boundaries of the same settlement.

5.25"". The beginning of a populated area in which the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations that establish traffic rules in populated areas do not apply on this road.

5.26"". The end of a populated area in which the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations that establish traffic rules in populated areas do not apply on this road.

5.27"". The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins where parking is prohibited.

5.28 "".

5.29"". The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins, where parking is permitted and regulated with the help of signs and markings.

5.30 "".

5.31 "". The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins where the maximum speed is limited.

5.32 "".

5.33"". The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins where only pedestrian traffic is allowed.

5.34 "".

Signs 5.27, 5.29, 5.31, 5.33 differ from signs 3.28, 6.4, 3.24, 4.5, respectively, with plates 8.5.4, 8.5.5-8.5.7, 8.5.1, 8.6.1-8.6.9 in that their effect extends not on a section of the road, but on a certain zone and is not interrupted by intersections or anything else, only by signs that are installed at all exits from the zone.

Special regulations signs introduce or cancel certain traffic modes.

5.1 "Motorway"

A road on which the requirements of the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation apply, establishing the procedure for driving on highways. This road is the fastest.

Sign 5.1 is installed at the beginning of the highway, as well as after the entrances to it.

On the motorway it is prohibited:
1. Movement of pedestrians, pets, bicycles, mopeds, tractors and self-propelled vehicles, and other mechanical vehicles, the permitted speed of which is according to technical specifications or their condition is less than 40 km/h.
2. Movement trucks, the permissible maximum weight of which is more than 3.5 tons, then the 2nd lane.
3. Stopping outside special parking areas marked with sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)” or 7.11 “Rest area”.
4. Turn around and enter technological gaps in the dividing strip. Be careful in these places, vehicles with special equipment may retreat from this point. signals, as well as those equipped with an orange flashing light (road, utility, etc. vehicles).
5. Reversing.
6. Training ride.

5.2 "End of the Motorway"

Indicates the end of a motorway marked with sign 5.1.

Installed at the end of the highway and at the beginning of exits from it.

5.3 "Road for cars"

A road intended for use only by cars, buses and motorcycles.

This road is subject to all the requirements of the traffic rules section “Traffic on highways”. What is prohibited on roads marked with sign 5.1 is also prohibited on roads marked with sign 5.3.
Before the side entrances to the road marked with sign 5.3, sign 5.3 is installed with one of the signs 8.3.1, 8.3.2, 8.3.3 “Directions of action”.

5.4 "The end of the road for cars"

Indicates the end of the road marked with sign 5.3 "Road for motor vehicles".

5.5 "One Way Road"

A road or carriageway along which the movement of motor vehicles over its entire width is carried out in one direction.

5.14.1 "End of lane for route vehicles"

5.14.2 "Cyclist lane"

The effect of signs 5.14 - 5.14.3 extends to the lane above which they are located. The effect of signs installed on the right of the road extends to the right lane.

5.14.3 "End of lane for cyclists"

The effect of signs 5.14 - 5.14.3 extends to the lane above which they are located. The effect of signs installed on the right of the road extends to the right lane.

5.15.1 "Lane directions"

The number of lanes and permitted directions of movement for each of them.

2. Signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, which permit a left turn from the extreme left lane, also permit a U-turn from this lane.

The rules allow traffic on tram tracks in the same direction, located at the same level as the roadway. If road signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 are installed in front of the intersection, then movement on tram tracks through the intersection is prohibited.

Permitted lane directions.

1. Effect of signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2,
installed in front of the intersection, applies to the entire intersection, unless other signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 installed on it give other instructions.
2. Signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2, allowing a left turn from the leftmost lane, also allow a turn from this lane.

The rules allow traffic on tram tracks in the same direction, located at the same level as the roadway. If road signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 are installed in front of the intersection, movement on tram tracks through the intersection is prohibited.

5.15.3 "Start of strip"

The beginning of an additional lane on an ascent or a braking lane (for example, on a motorway before an organized parking lot). If the sign installed in front of the additional lane shows sign 4.6 “Minimum speed limit,” then the driver of a vehicle that cannot continue moving along the main lane at the indicated or higher speed must change lanes to the lane located to the right of him.

5.15.8 "Number of lanes"

Indicates the number of lanes and lane modes. The driver is obliged to comply with the requirements of the signs marked on the arrows.

5.16 "Bus and (or) trolleybus stop"

The stopping place for buses and (or) trolleybuses moving along established routes, as well as for minibuses.

Stopping and parking is prohibited closer than 15 m from the stopping places of route vehicles, indicated by marking 1.17, and in its absence - from the sign of the stopping place of route vehicles.

5.17 "Tram stop location"

5.18 "Taxi parking area"

5.19.1, 5.19.2 "Pedestrian crossing"

If there are no markings 1.14.1 or 1.14.2 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, and sign 5.19.2 is installed to the left of the road on the far border of the crossing.

In the absence of markings, the width of the pedestrian crossing is determined by the distance between signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2.

5.20 "Artificial hump"

Indicates the boundaries of an artificial roughness.

The sign is installed at the nearest boundary of the artificial hump relative to approaching vehicles.

5.21 "Residential area"

The territory in which the requirements of the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation are in force, establishing

So, in the arsenal of traffic managers there are warning signs, priority signs, as well as prohibitory and mandatory signs. It would seem that this is enough - we will place these signs in the right places on all roads, and proper safety will be ensured.

In principle, this is true, only you will have to put a lot of signs. Well, for example, a highway - stopping, turning around, the movement of pedestrians, bicycles, horse-drawn carts and much more are prohibited here, and the permitted speed limit is up to 110 km/h. Can you imagine how many signs need to be placed along the highway, and even repeat them regularly! It seems much more rational to inform drivers with one sign that they are moving on a motorway, and in the Rules to describe in detail what is and is not allowed on the motorway.

In the same way, a road in a populated area and a road outside a populated area are two different zones with two different driving modes. At the same time, both inside a populated area and outside it, there may be other, more local zones with their own special traffic modes, for example, a section of a road with reverse traffic. Or, let's say, a one-way road. Or a road with a lane for route vehicles.

These are all zones with special traffic modes!

And any intersection! – isn’t this an area with a special traffic regime! And the stopping places for route vehicles! And the pedestrian crossings!

These are also short zones with special driving modes!

In essence, it turns out that the driver is constantly moving from one zone (with its own special traffic mode) to another zone (with another special traffic mode). But then the driver must be constantly informed about the beginning and end of the next zone. This problem is solved by the Signs of Special Instructions! That's what they were invented for.

Special regulations signs introduce or cancel certain traffic modes.

Motorway

Rules with one sign 5.1 introduce a special traffic regime on this section of the road:

Throughout the entire length from sign 5.1 to sign 5.2, drivers are required to comply with the requirements of Section 16 of the Rules “Driving on Highways”.

In 500 meters the section of road with the status “Highway” will end. Drivers should prepare for the fact that a section of the road with the status “Regular road outside the populated area” will soon begin.

And this is a zone with a completely different traffic regime.

Road for cars

According to the method of organizing traffic, all roads can be divided into three types:

– highways;

– roads for cars;

- other roads.

High speed limits are allowed on highways, but not everyone is allowed there, and the rules there are very, very strict.

On other roads, everything is absolutely democratic - everyone is allowed to drive and walk, without exception, there are no strict restrictions that apply on highways, and as a result, the maximum permitted speed is lower - 90 km/h.

This is if the case occurs outside a populated area. If in a populated area, then the maximum is 60 km/h.

Road for cars occupies an intermediate position.

The rules extended all requirements to this road section 16 “Traffic on highways”, however, the speed limit was left the same as on other roads.

The fact is that the “Road for Cars” does not reach the level of the “Highway” in its engineering design. There may not be a dividing strip and, most importantly, there may be intersections at the same level.

And by the way, what is very important is that sign 5.3 does not make the road the main road in relation to the roads it intersects! So, when driving through such intersections, look at the traffic lights, and if there are none, at the priority signs.

Figuratively speaking, the “Road for Cars” is the embryo of a highway, and if the fruit develops in the right direction, then someday signs 5.3 and 5.4 will be replaced by signs 5.1 and 5.2. And then, please, the permitted speed is up to 110 km per hour, and this road is always the main one.

Reference. The photo shows a fragment of the Third Transport Ring in Moscow (TTK). And since the Third Transport Ring is a road in a populated area, the maximum permitted speed here is 60 km/h. And since this is also a “Road for Cars,” then everything that is prohibited here is the same as on the “Motorway”: stopping and parking vehicles, turning around, reversing, practice driving, etc. and so on. (See Regulations, Section 16, “Traffic on Highways”).

Another thing is that on any road a higher speed limit can be allowed with the help of appropriate road signs (which, by the way, is done on some sections of the Third Transport Ring).

The beginning of the settlement. End of a settlement

In accordance with the Rules, a populated area is a built-up area, the entrances to and exits from which are marked with signs 5.23.1 – 5.26. It is extremely important to understand:

For drivers, the border of a populated area is the place where the sign will be installed!

Why did the Rules require as many as three pairs of signs with the same name? Here's the thing. Relatively speaking, the Rules divided all settlements into “serious” and “frivolous”.

“Serious” settlements are indicated by signs on a white background, “non-serious” settlements are indicated by signs on a blue background.

The background of the sign is white, therefore this is a serious settlement.

Consequently, we are entering an area in which all the requirements of the Rules relating to populated areas apply.

In particular, the maximum permitted speed is 60 km/h.

We leave the village of Rubtsovsk. After the sign, a section of the road outside the populated area begins.

And on roads outside the populated area, a different driving regime applies (in particular, the maximum permitted speed is 90 km/h).

This sign indicates sections of roads with buildings that are not part of any populated area. These can be holiday villages, separate enterprises, objects under construction, etc.

Simply, this built-up area does not have a name, but for security reasons it is necessary to introduce the same traffic regime here as in a “serious” populated area.

And pay attention! – this sign, like the previous one, has a white background and black symbols!

That is, from the place where this sign is installed, the zone in which all the requirements of the Rules relating to populated areas also begins!

This is also a populated area, only, in accordance with our conditional classification, it is a “frivolous” populated area.

The name is written in white letters on a blue background and, despite the proud word “Paris”, you can continue driving at a speed of 90 km/h.

And in general, the entire section of the road, enclosed between such signs “Beginning of a populated area” and “End of a populated area,” in terms of the way traffic is organized, is no different from an ordinary road outside a populated area.

Crosswalk

“Pedestrian crossing” is a section of the roadway where pedestrians are allowed by the Rules! And since the Rules allowed pedestrians onto the roadway, then, probably, the same Rules should have taken care of their safety. And they took care - they introduced a special traffic regime for vehicles at the pedestrian crossing.

Almost all maneuvers are prohibited in the pedestrian crossing area, namely:

I don’t encourage you to remember all this now. In due time we will talk about this in more detail and reveal the logic of all these restrictions. Now our task is to understand that signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 do not just inform drivers that there is a pedestrian crossing.

Sign 5.19.1introduces a special traffic mode, and sign 5.19.2this same mode cancels!

It should also be understood that these signs are double-sided, and therefore drivers in both directions see the same picture, namely:

Sign 5.19.1 is on the right side of the road;

Sign 5.19.2 is on the left side of the road.

Designated stopping places for route vehicles

A bus or trolleybus stop is something like an unauthorized pedestrian crossing - here it is possible for people to appear on the roadway.

Taking this circumstance into account, the Rules introduced restrictions in areas of designated stops for route vehicles that are very similar to those that apply at pedestrian crossings.

At designated stops for route vehicles, the following is prohibited:

- U-turn.

– Reversing.

– Vehicle parking. (Stopping is permitted, but only for boarding and disembarking passengers and only on condition that this does not interfere with route vehicles).

And again, I don’t suggest you remember all this now. How to behave at stops public transport, we will talk closely in the near future.

Now my task is to convey to you that signs 5.16 and 5.17 were invented not so much for passengers as for drivers.

And even, perhaps, first of all for drivers, and then for passengers.

Direction of movement along the lanes. Lane direction

If there are no signs or markings in front of the intersection giving any instructions, then the traffic order is established general principle:

– directly possible from all lanes;

– to the right – from the right lane;

- turn left and turn - from the left lane.

But it may happen that at an intersection, out of ten cars, nine always turn left (this is where the place that attracts motorists is located).

With such organization of traffic at this intersection, an absurd picture will always be observed - the left lane is clogged with an endless queue of cars, buses, motorcycles, and the other two lanes are practically not used.

But this is a completely different matter - in front of the intersection there are signs showing the permitted directions of movement from each specific lane. It is clear that now you can turn left from two lanes, of course, while maintaining the lane.

Note! – signs indicate that driving straight from the leftmost lane is prohibited, and looking at the picture, it’s clear why.

At the same time, signs permitting a left turn also permit a U-turn.

You just need to know that always and everywhere at any intersectionU-turns are allowed only from the leftmost lane and looking at the picture, it’s clear why.

It remains to say a few words about how these signs are placed on the roads.

If there are two or three lanes in a given direction, a one general sign 5.15.1 “Direction of traffic along lanes.”

In this case, it can be placed above the road, but it can also be placed on the right side.

If there are three or more lanes in a given direction, then for reliable orientation of drivers it is better to hang a sign above each lane. your own individual sign 5.15.2 “Direction of traffic along the lane”.

And one more most important point!

Unlike prohibitory and mandatory signs, signs 5.15.1 and 5.15.2 do not apply to the first intersection of roadways, and throughout the entire intersection!

And this is quite logical - drivers must choose the lane they need before entering the intersection, and this can only be done if you know exactly how you can drive through the entire intersection from this lane.

In this case, as a rule, the signs are also duplicated with markings.

Lane direction

In the Rules there are also signs with the same name - “Direction of traffic along the lanes”, but with a different number - signs 5.15.7. These signs only have straight arrows. Such signs are installed not in front of intersections, but on the stretches between intersections in order to duplicate the road markings.

Please note that the first two signs have an odd number of stripes! These signs were specifically designed for roads with an odd number of lanes. They are two-way and show drivers in both directions how many lanes they have.

The markings are unreliable and can be erased in places or hidden under the snow. And then how do you order drivers to divide a three-lane road into two?

So here is the sign, everything is shown on it!

At the same time, the same sign can introduce some additional restriction, for example, prohibiting the movement of heavy trucks in the middle lane.

Such a sign will also be useful on a two-lane road in cases where the driving order on it may be ambiguously perceived by drivers.

Agree that if there are no markings or they are not visible under the snow, then if there is such a sign everything is clear - it's a two-lane roadtwo-way . And the center line marking -solid (as on the sign) and, therefore, any driving into oncoming traffic is prohibited!

Sign 5.15.8 “Number of lanes”

If the main purpose of sign 5.15.7 is to show the number of lanes in each direction and only then (if necessary) to introduce any new traffic mode, then the main purpose of sign 5.15.8 is precisely to introduce a new traffic mode, well and at the same time, willy-nilly, show the number of lanes in a given direction.

In fact, the new speed limit will begin from the installation site of those distant signs ("Limit" signs maximum speed”, applied with “Lane” signs).

And in order to promptly inform drivers that a zone with a special traffic regime begins, sign 5.15.8 will be installed in advance: outside populated areas - at a distance of 150-300 m, in populated areas - at a distance of 50-150 m from the beginning of the road section, on when the new speed limit comes into effect.

Start of the strip. End of the strip

Sign 5.15.3 will be installed if an additional lane appears on the right.

Please note that in this situation, after the sign, the traffic mode changes: if before the sign the road was two-lane with an intermittent center line marking, then after the sign the road became three-lane, and the center line was solid, and now entering the lane of oncoming traffic is strictly prohibited.

The new traffic mode can be made even “newer” if cryptograms of prohibitory or prescriptive signs are applied to the main sign.

In this case, the image of the mandatory sign 4.6 “Minimum speed limit” is printed on the left arrow. And, therefore, everyone who cannot move at that speed is required to change lanes to the right.

Drivers will be informed that the additional lane is ending with a sign 5.15.5 “End of Lane”.

An additional lane may appear to the left of the driver (with the same width of the roadway).

This happens on three-lane roads with two-way traffic, when the middle lane is given to alternate use by drivers of both directions.

Drivers will be warned that the middle lane is being used by oncoming traffic both by markings and by sign 5.15.5 “End of lane.”

One way road

The section of road between these two signs is also a zone with a special traffic regime.

What is special about this driving mode? Firstly, you cannot make a U-turn on such a road (the consequence of a U-turn on such a road will be driving in the “oncoming lane”).

And, secondly, on a one-way road (in a populated area!) you can park on both the right and left side.

Entering a one-way road

A sign installed in front of an intersection informs drivers that the road being crossed is one-way traffic.

But this in itself is a special order.

Firstly, don’t even think about turning left towards the traffic. Secondly, if you turn right, remember that this is a one-way road, but there are special rules here.

And finally, the main question is: is it possible to cross this road and is it possible to turn around here?

Why not? I don't see any signs here prohibiting straight ahead or turning around. There is only a sign informing drivers that the road being crossed is one-way traffic.

Otherwise, this is an ordinary intersection (two roads intersect), and nothing prevents you from crossing it or turning around at it, as at any intersection.

And again on the road being crossed there is one-way traffic, only now in the direction to the left.

This means you can’t turn right (there’s oncoming traffic), but everything else is welcome.

Road with a lane for route vehicles

Entering a road with a lane for route vehicles

For drivers of urban passenger transport, the road is their work shop. Here they transport passengers and must do this strictly in accordance with the established schedule.

But how can you keep the schedule if there are “dead traffic jams” every now and then along the entire route? There is only one way out - in problem areas, allocate one of the lanes for the movement of only route vehicles, that is, prohibit all others from driving on this lane.

Sign 5.11.1 consists of two symbols:

– on the left is a minibus moving towards you;

– on the right is a vertical white arrow, very similar to the one depicted on sign 5.5 “One-way road”.

Sign 5.11.1 informs drivers that a special traffic regime has been established on this section of the road, namely:

1. No matter how many lanes there are on a given road, all of them (except for the far left!) are intended for traffic in the same direction.

2. The leftmost lane is separated from the rest of the roadway by a continuous marking line and is intended for traffic in the oncoming direction. And this lane is given to route vehicles.

Also pay attention to marking 1.23 (letter “A” on the roadway). This marking additionally informs drivers that this lane is intended for the movement of route vehicles.

Drivers approaching this intersection must be informed that there is a special traffic regime on the road being crossed.

This problem is solved with the help of signs 5.13 “Entering a road with a lane for route vehicles.”

Note! – these signs, just like the previous ones, also consist of two parts:

– a route vehicle is shown at the top;

– at the bottom there is a horizontal arrow, exactly the same as on signs 5.7.1 and 5.7.2 “Exit onto a one-way road.”

That is, no matter how many lanes there are on the road being crossed, they are all intended for one-way traffic (in this case, to the right). And only one lane (farthest from us) is intended for driving to the left, but it is given over to route vehicles, and access to it is prohibited!

But otherwise, this is an ordinary intersection (two roads intersect), and nothing prevents you from crossing it or turning around at it, as at any intersection.

But it may be so - route vehicles are given the lane closest to us, and they move to the right.

This means we can’t go to the right, but everything else is welcome.

And they ask about this in the exam:

Lane for route vehicles

Of course, the previous option, when route vehicles move towards the main flow, is the most rational. In this case, no one moves next to fixed-route vehicles in the same direction, and this creates ideal conditions for the unhindered movement of city buses and trolleybuses.

Unfortunately, such traffic organization is not always possible - sometimes on a regular multi-lane road you have to take one of the lanes and give it to route vehicles.

In this case, sign 5.14 will be hung exactly above this lane along with sign 8.14 “Traffic Lane”.

This combination informs drivers that this particular lane is allocated for route vehicles, and not the entire roadway in this direction.

Of course, it is preferable to separate this strip with a continuous longitudinal line, but this is not always reasonable. For example, if now, instead of a broken line, a solid line is drawn, then no one will be able to drive into courtyards and other territories adjacent to the right, and it will be impossible to pick up or drop off a passenger on this section of the road.

But the sign can also be installed on the right side of the road.

In this case, there will be no additional sign 8.14 “Traffic Lane”. If the sign is installed not above the road, but on the right side of the road, this automatically means that only the far right lane is intended for the movement of route vehicles.

We will talk about how to behave on such a road, what is allowed and what is not allowed here, later, when we get acquainted with Section 18 of the Rules “Priority of Route Vehicles”. In the meantime, our task is to understand how on a regular road a lane is allocated for the movement of route buses and trolleybuses.

And further!! You, as future drivers, need to know that sign 5.14, indicating a lane for route vehicles, is often used together with sign 8.5.2 “Working days”.

Therefore, this band can also be used by us mere mortals , but only on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.

And here's the question: Is it possible to cross this continuous marking line on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays?

The Rules have the following requirement:

Rules. Appendix 2. Road markings and their characteristics. The very last paragraph. In cases where the meanings of road signs and marking lines contradict each other,Drivers must follow road signs.

And again the question:

Do the requirements of signs now contradict the requirements of markings?

But, perhaps, they do not contradict. There is no dispute between signs and markings!

The signs are just ALLOWED drivers use this lane on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays AS SHE IS.

That is, the markings have not gone away! You can enter and exit this lane, but only in places where it is permitted by markings!

Otherwise, drivers will be punished, although not 3,000 rubles (as on weekdays), but only a warning or a fine of 500 rubles (for violating road marking requirements).

Road with a lane for cyclists. Lane for cyclists.

If the movement of cyclists is organized towards the main flow, drivers will be informed about this by a sign 5.11.2 “Road with a lane for cyclists.”

The Rules say this about this sign:

Rules. Appendix 1. Sign 5.11.2. A road on which the movement of cyclists and moped drivers is carried out in a specially designated lane towards the general flow of vehicles.

If bicycles and mopeds are moving in the same direction as the main flow, then another sign is provided for this case - special requirements sign 5.14.2 “Lane for cyclists”.

Entering a road with a lane for cyclists

The special requirements sign 5.13.3 informs drivers that an unusual traffic order is organized on the road being crossed, namely: the road being crossed is a one-way road, but there is a lane for cyclists , and cyclists move towards the main flow.

You can't turn left, but everything else - please - right, straight ahead and turning around is not prohibited.

But here you won’t be able to turn right, but everything else (straight ahead, left, and turning around) is not prohibited.

There are as many as two lanes for cyclists, but the road is normal, two-way, and no sign is required.

Just when turning right or left, do not end up in the lane for cyclists, enter the lane intended for motor vehicles.

Reversible road

The picture is familiar to everyone: Friday, the end of the working day, a huge traffic jam stretches from the center to the region - everyone is going to the dacha. And towards us, into hot and stuffy Moscow, one or two cars.

On Sunday evening the picture will change exactly the opposite: an endless stream of cars to Moscow, and almost no one from Moscow.

Oh, how nice it would be if somehow, magically, traffic organizers could move the “double solid” to the left or to the right as needed. Unfortunately, such technologies have not yet been discovered, but they did come up with a road with reverse traffic.

Look what happened to the center line of the marking - it is from double solid evolved into doubleintermittent , and the strokes are long, and the spaces between them are short.

This marking alone informs drivers that reverse traffic is organized on this road.

In addition, reversible traffic lights are installed above the two middle lanes, and if the green arrows are turned on, then you can move in three lanes in our direction.

If we have red crosses on, it means green arrows are on for oncoming drivers, and now there is only one lane left in our direction - the far right one.

Let's summarize !

The section of road enclosed between signs 5.8and 5.9this is an area with special ( reversible!) driving mode.

Entering a road with reverse traffic

In this case, there are only three lanes on the road being crossed, and the middle lane is marked on both sides by a double broken line marking. It is the middle lane that is intended for reverse movement, and in order to understand this, only this marking is enough.

And, nevertheless, at each exit to such a road there will be a mandatory sign 5.10 installed. And, as you understand, this is completely unnecessary. It is extremely important that drivers know for sure that this is a road on which a non-standard traffic regime operates.

Students. And if we now turn onto this road, what lanes can we occupy?

Teacher. No matter where you turn, right or left, in this situation you can only enter the far right lane. The remaining lanes can be occupied only after making sure that traffic on them is permitted by reversible traffic lights.

Students. Is it possible to drive straight?

Teacher. This is not a prohibitory sign or a prescriptive one (if you haven't forgotten, they are round). This sign simply informs you that reverse traffic is in place on the road you are crossing. Otherwise, this is an ordinary intersection (two roads intersect) and, as at any intersection, you can continue moving in all directions.

Living sector

In everyday life, a “residential area” is a place where people live, that is, in essence, any populated area. At the same time, in any populated area there are local places where the generally accepted traffic regime cannot be allowed. Such places are, first of all, all courtyards without exception, or, for example, the so-called “sleeping areas”, or individual streets in the business part of the city. In short, these are places where it is not practical to completely ban traffic, but it is necessary to provide comfortable conditions for residents and pedestrians.

It is very simple to inform drivers that they are entering a residential area - it is enough to install signs 5.21 at all entrances, and from this point, drivers are required to comply with the requirements of section 17 of the Rules “Driving in residential areas” until they reach the barrier sign 5.22 "The end of the residential area."

Once again I draw your attention! – any yard is always a “residential area”, and here the installation of a sign is not necessary.

We will get acquainted with all the details of the traffic regime in residential areas later, when we go through the corresponding section of the Rules. In the meantime, I strongly recommend that you learn the following:

1. In residential areas, the maximum permitted speed of traffic is 20 km/h.

2. In residential areas, pedestrians can walk both on the sidewalks and along the entire width of the roadway and at the same time are given priority right to move.

Other local zones

Before we talk about these local zones, let's go back a little.

You already know that the “No Parking” sign is valid from the place of installation to the nearest intersection along the road.

In this case, the signs are valid only on the side of the road on which they are installed. It would be absurd to force drivers to also look at what prohibitions apply to the opposite side, especially since the signs are facing them.

Now imagine that in the entire coastal region of the city of Gelendzhik (from the coast to the red line) it will be necessary to introduce a special traffic regime - speed no more than 30 km/h, and parking is prohibited from 7.00 to 19.00. That's a lot of signs you'll have to put up! Not only is it at the beginning of every intersection, but also on both sides of all streets, alleys, driveways and dead ends.

It is precisely for such cases that signs with the word “Zone” are intended.

It is enough just to place them at all entrances to the coastal region, and the problem will be solved. Agree that everything is very clear - the signs inform drivers that they are entering an area with a special traffic regime. And in this case, the effect of these restrictions does not extend to the nearest intersection, but to the entire territory of the zone.

That is, on any side of any road within the zone!

Naturally, “End of zone” signs must be installed at all exits from the coastal area.

Well, this is a pedestrian zone. Motorized vehicles are prohibited here.

As for non-motorized vehicles, this must be dealt with separately.

In July 2017, further changes occurred in the Rules - the interpretation of sign 5.33 “Pedestrian zone” changed.

Was: Sign 5.33 “Pedestrian zone”. The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins where only pedestrian traffic is allowed.

Became: Sign 5.33 “Pedestrian zone”. The place from which the territory (section of the road) begins where the movement of pedestrians and, in the cases established by paragraphs 24.2 - 24.4 of these Rules, cyclists is permitted.

What follows from here!

1. Paragraph 24.2 refers to cyclists over 14 years of age, but in this paragraph the concept of “Pedestrian zone” is not mentioned at all. So cyclists over 14 years old still cannot ride in the pedestrian zone.

2. As for cyclists under 14 years of age, in accordance with paragraphs. 24.3 and 24.4 they could ride in pedestrian areas before. So the changes in the interpretation of sign 5.33 are formal (in fact, nothing has changed). Motorized vehicles are strictly prohibited in pedestrian areas! Non-motorized vehicles are also prohibited, but there is one exception - children under the age of 14 can ride a bicycle.

Local zones with environmental class restrictions

What is the environmental class of a vehicle?

The environmental class of a vehicle is determined by the amount of harmful substances in the exhaust gases.

There are five environmental classes: Euro 1 – Euro 5. The higher the class, the less harm to the environment.

One or the other environmental class assigned to a vehicle based on tests that must be carried out in special laboratories.

In Russia, environmental class began to be assigned to cars recently. Therefore, a good half of our transport does not have this class at all. Legislators took this fact into account and decided to introduce environmental restrictions in stages.

During the period from July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 restrictions imposed by environmental labels apply only to those who have an environmental class indicated in their registration documents. AND don't work for those whose environmental class is not indicated in their documents!

From July 1, 2018, this sign prohibits the further movement of motor vehicles (including all cars) whose environmental class (specified in the registration certificate) is less than the number on the sign.

If your registration documents do not indicate the environmental class, you can continue driving and no one will punish you for it.

But it won't always be like this. Comes July 1st, 2021, and from now on no favors for anyone. Both those who have an environmental class indicated (if it is less than the number on the sign) and those who do not have information about the environmental class in their documents will not be able to drive under this sign.

If your documents do not indicate the environmental class of your car, and you do not want to be subject to environmental restrictions, it makes sense to change your vehicle registration certificate before 2021!

This sign prohibits movement freight cars with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons (if the environmental class of the car is lower than that indicated on the sign).

For vehicles of category “ IN" This sign does not apply ( you can continue driving ).

The traffic rules, it would seem, have all the necessary designations - prohibitory, informational, priority, and so on. But a separate niche is occupied by signs of special instructions. We will tell you about them.

What do the special warning signs indicate?

Let's start with a simple example. We all know the sign - the highway. If you look at the traffic rules, you can read that there is a special driving order on this route. Vehicles whose speed is less than 40 km/h are not allowed here. Also here you need to move at a speed of no more than 110 km/h. Pedestrians cannot stop and move on such a road - this is not yet full list restrictions for the motorway.

Now imagine how many signs will have to be installed on such a road so that the driver can immediately understand all the restrictions that are prescribed for him. The “motorway” sign itself, which, by the way, is a regulation sign, contains a lot of rules. Now think about how much meaning the signs of special instructions with explanations carry. You can see them under the article, where you can leave your comments.

So, we have determined that just one sign of special traffic regulations contains the rules of several prohibitory, priority, information signs. There are several pointers in this group that are a must-read. To make it clear to the reader of this article what we are talking about, we suggest that you watch a video about signs of special regulations:

It is worth clarifying that in populated areas and outside the city, there are separate sections of the roadway that are regulated by specific rules. For example, reverse or one-way traffic. This is clarified by signs of special instructions. Every intersection in the city is a high-accident zone, since travel is carried out from different directions. Here it is important to establish the order of passage of intersections if there are no other means of regulation. Special signs also help with this.

So, in general terms, our readers were able to determine what prescription signs are. For greater clarity, check out the table after the article, where you can leave your comments and explanations for other visitors to our site.
