Where can pedestrians move in a residential area?

@sh18548, I operate a VAZ 2106 2002 in Khakassia. I took it new, the frost was -43 in winter, +36 in summer. I've driven 320 thousand km, I haven't bored the engine yet, I add 0.5 liters of oil from change to change. Well, yes, I repair it on time and drive it every day. You know that some spare part wears out after several thousand km (that’s why I write that it should be repaired on time). On the way, there are only 2 reasons why you can stop - ignition and fuel. This is how it is solved - I stood for 10-15 minutes with the hood raised, did it and drove on to where I needed to go. If anything more serious can be found on any collective farm, you can find a “drunk grandfather”, so he will fix it in his garage. Well, the most important thing is that driving 1500 km in a day is not a problem. The cost of 1 km of mileage, taking into account all fines, car washes, rubber parts, repairs by hired craftsmen at service stations, replacement of spare parts and fuel (propane-butane + gasoline for warming up to 50 degrees) is 4.57 rubles.

Most (roads) in Russia are SINGLE-LANE in one direction; there are a lot of slow-moving, emergency vehicles on them which, due to their design, cannot move faster than 10-20 km/h, hence the accident rate and corruption in the traffic police

and I would add one more must-have gadget to the car - an active cell phone detector while the car is moving. similar to the sensor for alcohol intoxication. I answered the call, turned on the phone to dial the number - the engine stalled! Accidents and the number of victims on the roads will drop significantly!

The championship seems rather dubious to me)

My opinion is that a penny still travels and does not rot, so capitalism is crap compared to Socialism.

Traffic rules for residential areas and courtyards

Good afternoon, dear reader.

In this article we will talk about points of traffic rules that can and should be applied in residential areas and in courtyard areas.

As a rule, traffic police officers look into the courtyards of residential buildings extremely rarely, so no one monitors compliance with the rules there. In most cases, this leads to drivers forgetting the correct driving order in a residential area.

So, in the traffic rules there is a special section dedicated to traffic in courtyard areas: “Traffic in residential areas.” However, the requirements that interest us are located not only in this section.

Within the framework of this article, all points of the traffic rules related to traffic in residential areas will be considered, and penalties for violating these points of the rules will also be listed:

Differences between the residential area and the courtyard area

Let's first look at the difference between a residential area and a courtyard area , so that in the future there will be no questions about this.

Clause 17.4 of the traffic rules indicates that the requirements of section 17 “Traffic in residential areas” also apply to courtyard areas:

17.4. The requirements of this section also apply to courtyard areas.

However, this does not mean that the concepts mean the same thing.

The residential area is indicated by the appropriate signs:

However, the “Yard Territory” sign does not exist. By the way, the concept of courtyard territory is not defined at all in the traffic rules. It remains to be assumed that legislators mean by courtyard areas areas of land directly adjacent to residential buildings and located between them.

So it would be wrong to assume that the residential area and the courtyard area are different names for the same object.

In practice, you can find any of three options:

The boundaries of the residential area and the courtyard area coincide.
The residential area is part of the courtyard area.
The courtyard area is part of the residential area.

So, as noted above, the rules of Section 17 apply to both courtyard areas and residential areas. As for points from other sections of the rules, they apply only to the territory that is directly indicated in the selected point.

By the way, in 2020, “Residential zone” signs are quite popular. However, 8 - 10 years ago they were a big curiosity in Russia, so drivers were mainly interested in the rules for the courtyard area.

Car parking in the courtyards of residential buildings

Let's consider the points of the rules regulating parking in the courtyards of residential buildings . Naturally, the same traffic rules apply in courtyard areas as on a regular road, but there are some peculiarities:

Parking with the engine running is prohibited.
Parking of trucks is prohibited.

Parking with the engine running is prohibited in residential areas and courtyards . The article “Differences between the concepts of stopping and parking” discusses in detail the signs of stopping. Here I just want to remind you that if the vehicle does not move for more than 5 minutes and there are no passengers boarding or cargo unloading, then it is parking.

Please note that if in the cold season the driver warms up the car for 5 minutes or more, then he violates the requirements of the rules and may receive a traffic police fine, which will be discussed below.

Parking rules in yards prohibit the parking of trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons, i.e. cars of category C, outside specially designated areas (marked by road signs or markings).

Please note that it is also prohibited to park a car in the courtyard area or on the lawn. The fine for parking on the lawn depends on the region of the Russian Federation and can be quite large (several thousand rubles).

Leaving the yard or residential area

There are special requirements regarding leaving the yard or residential area. When leaving the courtyard area, the driver must give way to all road users.

It does not matter in which direction pedestrians and vehicles are moving, all of them should not interfere.

Pass-through through the yard

Pass-through of motor vehicles through residential areas or courtyards is prohibited by the rules. However, no one is stopping you, if necessary, from stopping for 5-10 seconds in the yard and continuing to move. In this case, the traffic police fine will not be imposed.

As for non-motorized vehicles (eg bicycles), they have the right to pass through residential areas.

Traffic speed in residential area

The maximum speed in a residential area or in a yard is currently 20 km/h (clause 10.2 of the traffic rules).

At the same time, fines for speeding in a courtyard area do not differ from fines for other places.

For example, driving around the yard at a speed of 80 km/h will lead to deprivation of your license.

Pedestrian priority

When moving through the courtyard area, pedestrians can move not only on sidewalks, but also on the roadway. Pedestrians have priority, i.e. Drivers in residential areas must give way to pedestrians.

At the same time, pedestrians should not create unreasonable interference with cars, for example, smoking in the middle of a narrow roadway when a fire truck with special signals is trying to enter the yard.

Well, the last rule, relating to residential areas and courtyards, prohibits practice driving .

Fines for driving in residential areas

The size of the fine for speeding depends on how much the driver exceeded the permissible speed, and can range from 500 rubles to deprivation of rights for 12 months.

As for the fine for other violations committed on the courtyard territory, it is currently 1,500 rubles for all regions except Moscow and St. Petersburg (3,000 rubles) (Article 12.28 of the Administrative Code).

By the way, if you have unpaid traffic fines, I recommend paying fines online without a fee.

Good luck on the roads!

Natalya , the “residential zone” sign itself does not prohibit the movement of buses.

Good luck on the roads!

There is no definition of yard territory in the legislation, so traffic rules do not define it. There is a local area of the station. 16 Housing Code of the Russian Federation and other legislative acts. But there are no roads in the local area, and therefore no sidewalks or other infrastructure. Accordingly, traffic regulations do not apply there. But in the residential area there are roads.

But there are no roads in the local area, and therefore no sidewalks or other infrastructure. Accordingly, traffic regulations do not apply there.

It looks like you are getting acquainted with the IPA. Why was this conclusion made?

And right there: But in the residential area there are roads.

But what about clause 17.4 of the traffic rules?

Can “no parking from 20:00 to 8:00” signs be installed in residential areas at intersections. Or there can be no intersections in this zone. And who makes the decision to install these signs. And their legitimacy

Sergey:

1. What does “at the crossroads” mean? These signs are valid up to intersections.

2. There may be intersections in a residential area.

3. An organization dealing with the organization of traffic in this area. The names are different in all cities. Therefore, if you need such an organization, contact your local traffic police department to obtain its details.

Good luck on the roads!

Is it possible to make one-way traffic in the yard? The house is long, 11 straight entrances. Cars are always parked in one lane (no other way). A problem arises when two cars pass each other in the same lane. Can I put a sign at the end of the house and where should I go?

Evgeniya , find out who owns the land under the road and who organizes traffic on this road. It is to this organization that you should send your wishes.

Good luck on the roads!

You write there may be intersections in a residential area. But it turns out that the Residential zone sign (and, accordingly, the 20 km/h limit) should only be valid up to the intersection. What are generally clearly defined characteristics of a residential area? We put this sign (and most importantly cameras!) right on the two-way road. And only on one side. There is no zone end sign. If you think like you, then if you enter from the direction of the sign, then you will be within the coverage area of the Residential Zone sign for the rest of your journey. But this is nonsense! What requirements can be applied to dismantle this sign through the court?

In other words, do you want the court to restore the right to move over 40 in a designated residential area with impunity?

Themis , sign 5.21 indicates the beginning of the residential zone, sign 5.22 - the end of the residential zone. No other conditions indicate the end of the residential zone. The same as in the case of any other zone from the rules of the road.

Contact the company that organizes traffic on this section of the road with a request to install sign 5.23, indicating the end of the residential zone.

GOST R 52289-2004:

5.6.26 Sign 5.21 “Residential zone” is used to designate the territory (zone) within which the requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations establishing the rules of traffic in residential zones apply.

The sign is installed at all entrances to residential areas.

5.6.27 Sign 5.22 “End of residential area” is used to indicate the end of a residential area.

The sign is installed at all exits from residential areas.

The sign may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.21.

Driving school online

This project was created specifically as a teaching aid in the “online driving school” . The project is primarily intended for those who are preparing to pass the traffic police exam

Driving courses

Driving courses on our project are a new method of studying the Rules of the Road.

The author, sparing the reader, tried whenever possible to replace the text with informative drawings. To make the study of traffic rules simpler, more convenient and visual.

Topic 17. Traffic in residential areas.

When crossing the location where sign 5.21 “Residential Zone” is installed, the driver enters an area with a special traffic regime.

From this moment on, the driver is obliged to comply with all the requirements of Section 17 of the Rules.

The end of the residential area is marked with the appropriate fender sign 5.22.

In addition, the Rules equate all courtyard areas to residential areas. And here signs are allowed not to be installed.

The rules expect drivers to be able to distinguish a yard from a street.

Requirements of Section 17 of the Road Traffic Regulations.

1. In residential areas, pedestrian movement is permitted not only on sidewalks, but also along the entire width of the roadway!

Moreover, sometimes pedestrians have nowhere to walk except along the roadway.

2. In residential areas, pedestrians are not simply allowed to walk across the entire width of the roadway. In residential areas, pedestrians have traffic priority!

And, for example, now a driver has no right to be angry with a pedestrian for crossing the roadway in a place where there is no pedestrian crossing.

Moreover, when driving in a residential area, the driver must be prepared for such behavior of pedestrians and must be ready to give way to them.

3. In residential areas, the maximum permitted speed is 20 km/h!

True, this is not stated in the 17th section of the Rules, but in the 10th:

Rules. Section 10. Clause 10.2. In populated areas, vehicles are allowed to move at a speed of no more than 60 km/h, and in residential areas and courtyard areas no more than 20 km/h.

4. Parking with the engine running is prohibited in residential areas!

Keep in mind! When you warm up the engine of your car in the yard, you are violating the traffic rules!

And the fine for such a violation, by the way, is 1,500 rubles (in Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3,000 rubles).

5. No through traffic is permitted in residential areas.

Behind the intersection there is a sign “Residential zone”. The rules allow only those who really need to enter a residential area to enter the residential area.

If the final destination of your route is outside this residential area, and you intend to move towards it without stopping, in this case the Rules “suggest” that you go around this area (on the right or left), rather than transit through it.

Yes, in general, this is in your own interests. Rather than dragging through a residential area at a speed of 20 km/h, it is better to drive around it at a speed of 60 km/h.

6. Driving lessons are prohibited in residential areas!

This requirement has migrated to us from the last century. Back then it was still possible to learn to drive a car without any instructor.

And today - only with an instructor.

And the instructor will not go with you to any yard, he has an approved route, and he will not deviate from it.

Nevertheless, the Tickets still ask about this:

Which of the following actions are prohibited for drivers of vehicles in a residential area?

1. Through traffic.

3. Parking with the engine running.

4. All of the above actions.

7. When leaving a residential area, drivers must give way to other road users.

The behavior of a driver leaving a residential area should be the same as when leaving a yard. And this is quite natural and logical. Leaving a residential area (where the speed is 20 km/h and pedestrians walk along the roadway), you find yourself in an area with a completely different traffic regime. We need to prepare for this and, to begin with, at a minimum, we need to give way to everyone.

Section 17. Traffic rules in residential areas

The traffic rules use such terms as “residential area” and “yard area”, which includes the courtyards of apartment buildings. Traffic rules regulate traffic rules in residential areas and courtyard areas, clause 17.4, and if the rules are not followed, a fine is imposed. Let's figure out what the residential zone sign means.

What is a residential area and courtyard area?

Residential zone - an area in a populated area in which there are residential buildings, laundries, dry cleaners, baths, clinics, schools, places of worship, parking lots, garages and other objects associated with human habitation.

The boundaries of the residential area are defined by signs:

residential zone sign 5.21 indicates the entrance to a residential zone,
sign for residential zone 5.22 - exit from it.

Courtyard areas and extended residential settlements also belong to residential zones, and accordingly, all the rules associated with residential zones will also apply to them.

Such areas may not be residential. Entry and exit signs can be placed on specific streets or sections of them in a shopping area or even a business center, since in these places it is necessary to create suitable conditions for passers-by, limiting the speed of movement, without imposing a complete ban on vehicle traffic.

A courtyard area is an area surrounded by buildings that surrounds:

playgrounds;
green spaces;
places for rest;
local driveways to houses, schools, kindergartens, etc.

What actions are prohibited for vehicle drivers in a residential area?

In residential areas it is prohibited:

through passage (through these territories without reducing speed);
training ride;
stopping for more than 5 minutes with the engine running;
parking of trucks over 3.5 tons.

In winter, motorists are tacitly allowed to deviate from these regulations when it is necessary to warm up the engine, clear the snow from the car, or clear the driveway after an overnight snowfall.

Pedestrian priority

In residential areas, priority for pedestrians is established (clause 10.2 of the traffic rules). They have the right to move along the roadway, not to mention the sidewalks specially designed for this.

Drivers when driving in a residential area are required to give way to pedestrians, and practice driving is also prohibited..

At the same time, it is prohibited to deliberately interfere with traffic on the roadway, that is, you cannot smoke while standing in the middle of the road, preventing a car or ambulance from passing.

Traffic speed in residential area

The maximum speed in residential areas and courtyards is 20 km/h. (Clause 10.2 of the Traffic Regulations)

Through passage through a residential area

Through traffic is the movement of a car, where the entry and exit of the car occurs in different parts of the territory and while driving the driver does not stop for boarding and disembarking people, as well as unloading and loading cargo.

Through traffic in a residential area is prohibited, but it is possible to avoid violating the Rules if you stop inside it and then continue driving.

Entry and exit from a residential area or courtyard area

When leaving a residential area or entering a residential area, the driver of the vehicle, according to the Rules, gives way to any traffic participant, regardless of the direction in which he is moving.

The remaining sections of the traffic rules also do not lose their validity, therefore, in the case of an equivalent intersection, the driver must give way to cars approaching from the right.

Video: Traffic rules in a residential area

Fine and liability

If you exceed the maximum speed in a residential area, the driver will be punished, from 500 rubles to deprivation of rights for up to 12 months. The size of the fine depends on the amount of speeding.

The remaining fines regulated by 12.28 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation will be:

3500 rubles for Moscow and St. Petersburg,
1500 rubles for regions.

A pedestrian may be fined if he created an unreasonable obstruction to traffic, but only if the offense was recorded by traffic police officers.
