Where does the stop prohibited sign end?

“Stopping and parking prohibited” signs: coverage area and fines

The traffic rules (hereinafter referred to as traffic rules) clearly describe where the zone of operation of the “No Stopping” sign begins and ends, in which case the motorist can be fined and even have the car towed. You can learn more about this in Appendix No. 1 to the Traffic Regulations (hereinafter referred to as the Appendix). In addition, information about signs regulating the movement of vehicles, and, in particular, about “Stopping and parking prohibited” signs, is also available in GOST R 52289-2004 (hereinafter referred to as GOST).

To avoid getting into an unpleasant situation, you should understand how the sign number 3.27 “Stopping is prohibited” works in 2019, as well as what to do if there is an additional sign next to it or a temporary restriction.

What is the difference between two similar signs?

Ordinary people often do not make a difference between these two designations, although there is one. Prohibitory sign 3.27 is made in the form of a blue circle, bordered by a red frame, crossed out by two crosswise stripes. This means that stopping in the area covered by this sign is prohibited.

Sign 3.28 “Parking prohibited” is similar to the previous one: a blue circle with one line crossed diagonally. It prohibits parking for extended periods of time.

According to traffic regulations, parking is leaving a car parked for a period of time exceeding 5 minutes. Is it possible for a driver to drop off a passenger near a “No Stopping” sign? No. But if the driver needs to drop off a passenger, he can do this within the coverage area of ​​the blue circle number 3.28, and this will not be a violation. The car can also stop to seat a passenger, unload or load cargo.

Where is the “No Parking” sign installed?

The ban on long-term parking applies to the following sections of the road:

  • where a parked car may interfere with the passage of other cars;
  • in places where a car parked on the side of the road reduces traffic safety in this area;
  • in areas where a parked car can provoke traffic violations by other road users.

How to determine the prohibition area?

The area where the “circle” 3.27 operates is determined by the Appendix and GOST. The area along the road in which the prohibition is in force is limited by the intersection closest to the place where the prohibition symbol is installed in the direction of travel, or by the border of the populated area (both at the entrance and exit). The “No Stopping” sign can also be terminated by a sign placed next to it, indicating the direction of its action and the length of the road along which stopping and parking is prohibited. If there is a cancellation sign further in the direction of travel, you should assume that the coverage area of ​​the sign has ended.

How does the ban work in combination with signs?

Depending on which sign under the “Stopping is prohibited” sign, which sign follows it further in the direction of travel, its area of ​​​​action may change:

  • if after 3.27 there is the same blue circle, but with a sign numbered 8.2.3 (down arrow), then the ban is relevant until this sign;
  • if the “No Parking” sign is installed together with sign number 8.2.2 (arrow up), and the distance is marked next to the arrow on the sign, then the zone where it is necessary to comply with the regulation will be extended to this distance. You can measure it by eye or using a navigator, but, as a rule, after the specified number of meters, the same road sign appears with a sign numbered 8.2.3 (see information above);
  • if the graphic designation “stopping and parking prohibited” is adjacent to plate 8.2.4, on which the arrow points both up and down, then its effect extends to the road, both after the installation site and before it. Often such a ban is placed where it is impossible to stop along a long stretch of the route. This reminds the driver that the ban is still in effect.

The ban can also be supplemented with a sign depicting one of the categories of vehicles. For example, if there is a truck next to the blue circle, this means that trucks are prohibited from parking.

Limiting the period of the ban by time

Signs 3.27 and 3.28 may not be valid all the time, but only on certain days or hours. For example, a blue no-parking circle with a white Roman numeral "1" through a line means that parking is prohibited only on odd days of the month (3.29). And two crossed out sticks on a blue background (3.30), on the contrary, indicate that parking is prohibited on even days.

Parking or stopping may also be prohibited during the day or night. As a rule, the restriction applies during the day, but at night you can ignore the sign. This is evidenced by a sign underneath it, indicating the time interval during which the ban is valid. So, if under the circle on the sign it says “8:00-20:00”, this means that you cannot leave your car here from eight in the morning to eight in the evening.

“No stopping” in combination with markings

The sign can be combined not only with additional signs, but also with road markings. For example. With line 1.4, a solid yellow line, an analogue of a single solid line with the only difference that it is located not in the center of the road, but at the side of the road.

If after the sign number 3.27 there is a solid yellow stripe on the side of the road, then the sign will be valid until its end.

“No stopping” in combination with other signs

To inform the driver that the ban has ended, not only a “No Stopping” sign with an arrow pointing down is used, but also a sign informing that all restrictions have been lifted (3.31).

If there are no other signs and signs

If there is no sign or road marking next to the sign, then the order applies to the first intersection with another street and road. Of course, exits into courtyards and paths do not count. In order not to doubt whether the intersection sign has been canceled or you still cannot stop, you should refer to the traffic rules, where this point is clearly stated.

The text of the Appendix states that the effect of the no-stop sign cannot be canceled:

  • departures from adjacent territories;
  • intersections with roads leading to fields or forests;
  • any intersections with secondary roads that do not have a main road sign in front of them.

The ban is canceled when the motorist leaves the city or other populated area where the ban has been established, or enters the populated area after passing the prohibitory sign. If there is both an intersection and a populated area on the way, then the ban is canceled by whichever the driver reaches first.

How to understand that a settlement has begun or ended

The fact that the village or city is already behind is indicated not by the driver’s impression, but by road signs. Even if the last houses have already disappeared over the horizon, this does not mean that you can leave your car here. Likewise, a driver should not be confused by shopping centers and pedestrians if he has passed a sign informing him that he has left a populated area.

The beginning of a settlement is indicated by a road sign with its name on a white rectangle. Next to the name there may be silhouettes of houses. Departure from a populated area is indicated in the same way, only its name will be crossed out.

Important: you should carefully follow the signs on the road. Often, immediately after leaving a village or city, there is another “No Parking” road sign and, despite the cancellation of the previous one, you still won’t be able to park.

What if the prohibition area extends beyond the intersection?

What to do if there is an intersection ahead, but there are no signs or other signs next to the “No Stopping” sign, it’s clear. It is also clear what to do if the pointer is available. But what to do in a situation where there is an intersection ahead with a “main road” sign, but the arrow next to the prohibition of stopping makes it clear that its coverage area extends beyond the intersection.

The traffic rules do not provide any clear instructions regarding this situation. The answer to the question can be found in the text of GOST, paragraph 5.9. The prohibition area indicated on the sign should not be greater than that established for these signs in clause 5.4.31. This paragraph contains the same information as in the text above:

The sign's coverage area ends after the first intersection, entry or exit from a populated area.

Accordingly, if there is a sign in front of the driver and an intersection or exit from a populated area that causes conflicting interpretations of the prohibition, you need to focus on GOST 5.4.31 and follow the instructions of the sign before the intersection, exit or entry into the populated area.

Amount of fine for violating the ban on stopping and parking

If the driver decides to stop where the ban is in force, he can be fined 1,500 rubles if the violation occurred in one of the regions of Russia, or 3,000 rubles if the situation occurred in Moscow or St. Petersburg. The amount of the fine is established by Part 4 and Part 5 of Article 12.16 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

In what cases can a fine be avoided?

You can avoid punishment for unauthorized parking if it was forced. For example, the driver stopped due to a technical malfunction of the vehicle, or as a result of an accident. Being at the side of the road due to a sharp deterioration in the driver’s well-being is not subject to a fine.

But, even if there is a good reason for an unauthorized stop, you should repark the car as soon as possible, and also turn on the emergency signal.

Can a security camera record a violation?

A video recording camera, among other things, can film an illegally parked car and then send a “chain letter” to its owner. It is worth noting that this violation is often recorded on site not by stationary cameras, but by moving traffic police vehicles equipped with video equipment. Photo recording cannot serve as evidence of a violation, since it is impossible to determine from a photograph whether the car is moving or standing still.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of the fine?

If the fact of leaving a vehicle in the wrong place was recorded, then punishment cannot be avoided. However, as with other traffic violations, you can save half of the fine due if you pay it within 20 days after the order was issued.

Can a car left in a prohibited area be towed?

If a car is parked in violation of the rules, the car may be towed to a parking lot. This should be indicated by a sign with a picture of a tow truck, or the inscription “A tow truck is working.” In this case, you will have to pay a fine, find your car and pay for parking. Therefore, you should carefully follow the stopping rules described in the 2019 Traffic Regulations and do not leave your vehicle in the wrong place.

“No Stopping” sign: rules, exceptions, fines

To regulate traffic and ensure the maximum level of safety for all road users, both drivers and pedestrians, a system of road signs has been developed. “Stopping is prohibited” is a sign that will be discussed in more detail in the current material.

What will become clear after reading: what the sign looks like, the area where the restriction applies, as well as the fines that apply based on it.

What does a “No Stopping” sign look like?

In order to comply with traffic rules and not create emergency situations, you should follow the regulatory signs. Every driver must understand that all restrictions on the road are established in a given place for a reason and are designed to ensure safety. The same applies to a stop prohibition sign; if the action is prohibited, it means that a car that violates the prohibition can become an obstacle to movement or maneuver, and therefore hypothetically creates an emergency situation.

What does the regulator look like? The description of the “No Stopping” sign looks something like this: the sign is a circle with a blue background, the edges of which have a red frame, and it is crossed out by crisscrossing red lines. It is worth noting that the parking prohibition sign has a similar appearance. Except that there is only one diagonal line that crosses, and not two intersecting ones, as in the first case.

What is the difference between parking and stopping. Parking means stopping a car for a period of more than 5 minutes, but according to the rules, a stop lasts less than 5 minutes. Thus, in a place where parking is prohibited, the driver can slow down for 5 minutes; usually this time is enough to, for example, drop off a passenger. In a no-stop zone, even such an action would be a violation.

No Stopping sign. Coverage area

The restricted zone has its own boundaries. The driver must understand where exactly he cannot stop, and where he can already stop. The coverage area of ​​stop and no parking signs depends on the accompanying signs that complement the main limiter.

The first thing the driver must remember is that the stopping restriction applies only to the side of the roadway on which the sign is located. This means that on the other side of the road the driver may well make a stop if there are no restrictions there.

How long does the coverage area of ​​a prohibitory sign that you encounter along the way and has no additions extend to? There are several options.

  • To the nearest intersection or traffic light. At the same time, the rupture of the dividing part of the road is not an indicator of the completion of the restrictive zone, since it is not an intersection.
  • Before the sign lifting all previously existing restrictions.
  • Until the end of the settlement, if along the route there are no intersections or other signs lifting restrictions.
  • If there is a yellow marking along the edge of the road after the “No Stopping” sign, then it indicates the restricted area and you cannot stop until it ends.

In addition, the coverage area of ​​the “No Stopping” sign is determined by the accompanying signs. There may be several such signs.

  • If the sign is accompanied by a sign with a forward (up) arrow, this means the start of the restriction and the driver can stop before the sign, but will no longer be able to stop after it.
  • If the forward (up) arrow sign is supplemented by a distance, for example, 100 m, this means that stopping within the next 100 meters is impossible. But for example, after 150 meters it is already quite acceptable.
  • If a prohibition sign is accompanied by an arrow in both directions, it means that the driver is within its coverage area. That is, stopping is prohibited both before and after the sign, and somewhere earlier there was a corresponding limiter, notifying about the beginning of the prohibition zone.
  • If the sign is supplemented with a back (down) arrow, this means the end of the ban. The driver can stop after the sign, but does not have the right to stop in front of it.

In addition, the sign can be supplemented with signs with different types of transport (plates 8.4.1-8.4.8), this means that the prohibition of stopping applies specifically to this type of transport. If the sign is accompanied by plate 8.18 (crossed out wheelchair), then the ban does not apply to this category of drivers.

Exceptions to the rules

Who and under what circumstances can stop in the area covered by the “No Stopping” sign. As you know, there are exceptions to every rule, this case only confirms this. There are a number of situations in which stopping within the area of ​​the sign will not be counted as a traffic violation.

  1. Emergency stop due to deterioration of the driver's health or vehicle breakdown. In this case, it is necessary to turn on the emergency signal and install a sign on the roadway.
  2. Route transport has the right to stop at the place provided for this purpose, despite the fact that there is a restriction on this interval.
  3. The “Stopping is prohibited” sign is not valid if the vehicle is slowed down by a traffic police officer. In this case, the driver is obliged to stop at any place, regardless of traffic restrictions.

These are all situations that are not covered by the regulatory sign. In other cases, the driver is obliged to follow the rules and stop only in a permitted place.

Sanctions for violating restrictions

The traffic rules sign “No Stopping” is designed to regulate traffic and certain fines and sanctions are provided for violating restrictions.

Today, for violating this rule, a fine of 500 to three thousand rubles is provided. If the driver stops in a place accessible only to disabled people, but he himself is not disabled, then the fine can be increased to 5 thousand rubles.

If a car left in the wrong place interferes with traffic, it will be towed away and placed in a impound lot, which will add further costs to the car owner.

“No Stopping” sign: coverage area and penalty for stopping under the sign in 2019

Motorists on the road must follow traffic rules, since their actions can affect the life and health of other road users. One of the prohibiting signs is the “No Stopping” sign. Today we’ll figure out what it means and answer frequently asked questions.

Description and interpretation of traffic rules sign 3.27

Drivers do not always correctly interpret the meaning of this sign. For a correct interpretation, you need to understand the difference between the concepts of parking and stopping. They are determined taking into account the time for which the vehicle stops moving.

Stopping is an intentional cessation of movement for up to 5 minutes. During this time, the driver can board or disembark passengers. Parking means the car is stopped for a longer period of time. It is essentially synonymous with parking. Sign 3.27 means that you cannot stand at all, while a similar sign 3.28 indicates a ban on stopping movement for more than five minutes.

No stopping signs are put up for a reason. If we are talking about a highway with a large flow of cars, stopping on it will create a traffic jam and a significant obstacle to traffic. To prevent such situations, sign 3.27 is used, prohibiting cars from stopping. The only exception is route transport, which can stop to let a passenger out or in. Sometimes signs are supplemented with plates with clarifying information.

Zone and duration of the “No Stopping” sign

The location where the sign is installed is the beginning of the section where there is a prohibition on stopping. The duration of its action is determined by additional signs installed, as well as by the second sign, which terminates the effect of the first. If there are none, the ban ends at the first intersection.

Signs can indicate the beginning of a particular settlement or its end. If there is a rectangular sign under the sign indicating the distance, the numbers on it indicate the length of the road where stopping is prohibited. Near the numbers there is an arrow indicating the direction of movement. The prohibition may be duplicated by road markings: a yellow stripe along the right side of the road. The end of the bar means that the ban ceases to apply.

To the sign with a sign with a down arrow

Since measuring the route while driving is quite difficult, it is possible to install two signs. The first is located at the beginning of the area where the ban is in effect, the second is at its end. If near the second sign there is also a rectangular sign with an arrow drawn downwards. She talks about the end of the ban.

To the end of the distance indicated on the sign

As already mentioned, sign 3.27, together with the indicated distance, indicates the duration of the zone where stopping is prohibited. Units of measurement are always marked next to the number. Most often these are meters, less often – kilometers. The beginning of the section will be where sign 3.27 is located. To make it easier to measure the distance, the sign can be supplemented with markings on the road.

With up and down arrows

If the site is long, several signs may be installed. In this case, another sign appears in the center of the zone, supplemented by signs pointing up and down. He says the restriction is still in effect. The first element is supplemented with a sign indicating the distance, and the last element with a sign with an arrow pointing down. Also in this case, instead of 3.27, the sign 3.31 can be set.

With markings

It is a yellow stripe painted along the right side of the road. The duration of the restriction zone is equal to the duration of the yellow stripe.

Until the sign of the end of the zone of all prohibitions

The meaning of sign 3.31 is the end of all restrictions. It can serve as a replacement for 3.27. This is relevant if there is more than one ban in force in a certain area. 3.31 is a white circle with a thin black stripe around its perimeter.

To the nearest intersection or populated area

There are situations when the second element indicating the end of the prohibited zone is missing. In this case, the ban on stopping the car will remain in effect until any element cancels it. This could be a crossroads or a sign indicating the end or beginning of a certain settlement.

The prohibition on stopping is relevant only for the direction of travel on which the sign is located.

Limiting the period of the ban by time

It happens that prohibition signs only work on specific days or hours. For example, a blue circle with a white Roman numeral 1 crossed out by a line indicates that parking is prohibited exclusively on odd numbers (3.29). If two sticks are crossed out on a blue background, on the contrary, you cannot stop on even days.

It is also possible to prohibit stopping during the day or at night. Usually the ban is valid during the day, but ceases to apply at night. This is indicated by the sign below the sign, which indicates the time interval during which the ban is in effect. For example, on the sign under the circle it is marked “9:00-21.00”. This means that you cannot stay here from 9 am to 9 pm.

In combination with other signs

In order to inform the driver that the ban is ending, not only sign 3.27 with an arrow down, but also sign 3.31 can be used. Its meaning is the abolition of all existing restrictions.

Fines for violations

The No Stopping sign is aimed at regulating traffic on the road. Violation of this restriction is fraught with fines and other sanctions. If you stop in the wrong place, the driver will have to pay from 500 to 3,000 rubles. If the driver stops where only disabled people are allowed to stop, and he does not belong to this group, the fine may increase to 5,000 rubles.

If a car that has been left in the wrong place obstructs traffic, it will be towed and placed in an impound area. This is fraught with additional costs for the driver.

Exceptions to the rules

Any rule has exceptions, therefore there are a number of situations when stopping in the coverage area of ​​3.27 will not constitute a violation:

  1. Stopping due to a car breakdown or deterioration of the motorist’s health. In this case, it is necessary to turn on the emergency signal and install an appropriate sign on the roadway.
  2. Route transport has the right to stop in areas where restrictions apply.
  3. The “No Stopping” sign will not work if the car is braked by a traffic police officer. Then the motorist must stop regardless of the place and the restrictions in force there.

The effect of the limiting sign is irrelevant only in these cases. In all other cases, the driver must adhere to the rules and stop only in the place where it is permitted.

FAQ

Can a security camera record a violation?

A photo recording camera can photograph a car parked incorrectly, and then send a corresponding letter to the owner. It should be noted that this violation is often recorded not by stationary cameras, but by moving traffic police vehicles, which are equipped with video recording equipment.

Is it possible to reduce the amount of the fine?

If you record the fact of stopping in an inappropriate place, you will not be able to avoid sanctions. But you can reduce the amount of the fine by half by paying it within twenty days after the decision.

Can a car left in a prohibited area be towed?

If the car stops where it is forbidden to do so, it can be evacuated to the penalty area. This is indicated by a sign with a picture of a tow truck or the inscription “A tow truck is working.” In this case, the driver must pay a fine, find the car and pay for parking.

The difference between a stop and a parking lot

In accordance with the Traffic Rules, parking and stopping are different concepts. Stopping means deliberately stopping traffic for no more than five minutes (although in certain cases the time period may be longer). The stop has a condition - it is made for the purpose of boarding or disembarking passengers, or loading and unloading the car.

Parking is a deliberate cessation of traffic for more than five minutes. There are no mandatory conditions, that is, the purpose of the parking can be any. If a stop lasts less than five minutes, it is considered a stop. The main difference, therefore, is precisely in time: parking is longer, while stopping is a short-term action.

As for the difference between the signs “Stopping is prohibited” and “Parking is prohibited”, it lies in the number of intersecting lines. The sign prohibiting parking has one more line. If there is only one red line, only parking is prohibited. Thus, a short stop of up to 5 minutes, after which the car will promptly leave, is allowed. If there are two stops, both parking and stopping are prohibited. The “No Stopping” sign is more strict and is a common reason for a vehicle to be towed.

Temporary road signs and signs on a yellow-green background

The Highway Code clearly states that permanent road signs have a white background. If the background color is yellow, we are talking about temporary signs. They are used in areas where road work is being carried out and are removed after completion.

If the meanings of temporary and permanent signs contradict each other, you need to focus on the temporary ones. To prevent contradictions, stationary signs of a similar group are closed or dismantled during the work.

Do not confuse temporary signs with signs on yellow-green boards. Permanent signs are placed on billboards with yellow-green reflective fluorescent film. This measure is related to the need to attract the attention of drivers and prevent emergency situations.

Prohibition signs are aimed at maintaining order on the road, so it is important to pay attention to them. Stopping in the wrong place can result in not only a fine for the driver, but also the towing of the car.

Effect of a road sign prohibiting stopping

One method of regulating traffic is the use of road symbols. They are of a different nature: warnings, prohibitions, restrictions and permission to drive in a certain area. A road sign where stopping is prohibited indicates that stopping is prohibited along a certain section of the road. How to interpret it? Where exactly is stopping prohibited? What are the exceptions and features?

Description and interpretation of the sign

The modern form of the sign appeared only in 1973 in the Soviet Union after standardization. Until 2013, various adjustments were made to the appearance of the symbol, but over the past five years its image has not been modified in any way.

The sign has a round shape and uses a blue and red color scheme. This combination is clearly visible from afar. The diagram itself looks like this: there is a red cross in the shape of the letter X on a blue background, and it is also edged in red along the edges.

Why is a no-stop sign installed?

For motorists who want to park their car in a convenient place, such a symbol usually causes indignation and encourages them to violate traffic rules.

In fact, any installation of a prohibitory sign is based on objective reasons:

  • a parked vehicle can create an emergency situation;
  • the car can encourage other members of the road traffic to break the rules;
  • There is a very busy stream in the area, there is a sharp turn nearby or the roadway is narrow.

All of the above factors may lead to a decision to set an appropriate restriction. There is no parking space there.

How to correctly interpret the sign

It is important to take into account that in those areas where there is a prohibition symbol, parking of vehicles is also prohibited.

Read more:  Road accident caused by a pedestrian: driver’s responsibility

The rule goes like this:

  1. It is prohibited to brake the vehicle for a longer period than is necessary for disembarking and embarking people, as well as unloading and loading any objects.
  2. Long-term parking of the car is prohibited.
  3. Parking of a vehicle is prohibited if it has been planned and lasts more than five minutes.

Thus, if a person made a stop and violated one of the above, then his action will be interpreted as a violation of the rules of movement by car.

Traffic police officers will not record an offense if the stop was made for forced reasons, which usually include:

  • the vehicle has broken down and its further movement is dangerous;
  • the driver’s health has deteriorated sharply;
  • other reasons that have a similar basis to the previous two.

In such a situation, the driver is obliged to turn on the emergency signal, as well as display a similar symbol behind the car. The distance depends on the stopping place: in the city or outside the populated area. Many motorists use emergency lights for other situations, but this is not always legal.

When can you avoid a fine?

Often this sign is installed to prohibit parking in designated areas for public transport. In this regard, its effect applies to almost all members of road transport, except for buses, trolleybuses and so on.

An administrative fine will also not be imposed on disabled drivers, but two conditions must be met:

  1. Under the symbol itself there is an addition in the form of a plate, which depicts a crossed-out wheelchair.
  2. There is a sign on the car that proves that the owner of the car is a person with disabilities.

The effect of the stop sign is prohibited according to the traffic rules and does not apply to those drivers to whom the police signal an immediate stop and point to this section of the road. The car owner is obliged to park the car where the traffic police officer indicates.

Sign area

In addition to knowing how to interpret a road symbol, it is important to have information about the point to which it extends.

The law provides three grounds for terminating a no-stop sign:

  1. Crossroads. In this case, it means the intersection of several roads. Leaving the yard does not apply to intersections.
  2. Beyond the border of the settlement. The end of a populated area is grounds for termination of the sign.
  3. The presence of a sign that cancels the effect of all those installed before it.

The stop sign is prohibited and the coverage area extends only to one side of the road, that is, the driver has the right to park his car on the other side, for example, in one-way traffic.

Today, a common option is that on even days of the week you are allowed to stop on one side, and on odd days - on the other. Thus, the coverage area of ​​the stop sign is prohibited by the traffic rules.

Interpretation of additional signs

Special conditions for the sign's coverage area can be determined by signs installed with it; they can be in the form of arrows or arrows indicating meters.

Let's look at the main types of this type of pointer:

  1. No stop sign with arrow down. This clarification prohibits stopping before the symbol, but allows parking even directly behind it if there is no pedestrian crossing there.
  2. Arrow going up and footage. The distance within which it is prohibited to stop after the sign is indicated. The message shows the length in meters during which the driver will be fined if he stops without a valid reason, as well as the place where the restriction will end.
  3. Arrow in two directions. It focuses the attention of drivers on the ongoing effect of the sign, that is, it prohibits parking both before and after the road symbol and means that they must move.

Sometimes, not a sign, but a yellow marking is used to indicate the distance. It is applied to the edge of the road or shoulder. It reflects the length of the prohibition, and the symbol is placed immediately before it.

Since 2013, a parking sign has been introduced that can interrupt the prohibited zone and allow entry into a pocket, but only if the area there is specially equipped for this. This rule is valid until today, that is, until 2018 inclusive.

Sanctions for violation

There are several main types of penalties provided for this violation of traffic rules. The violations themselves, as a rule, are determined by photographic and video recording.

Sign 3.27 “Stopping is prohibited”

Sign 3.27 prohibits stopping, and therefore parking, of all vehicles, with the exception of route vehicles. It applies only to the side of the roadway on which the sign is installed.
