Driving without stopping is prohibited. "movement without stopping is prohibited" at a railway crossing

Driving without stopping is prohibited - this is a priority sign.
Many drivers do not pay attention to such signs, which ultimately leads to a conversation with a traffic inspector, or, even worse, to serious accidents. Before we look at the real situation, let's find out what the rules say traffic.

5.3.7 Sign 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited” is used to indicate to the driver to stop and give way to vehicles moving along the road being crossed, and, if there is a sign 8.13, to vehicles moving along the main road.
Sign 2.5 is installed instead of sign 2.4 if visibility is not ensured vehicles approaching along the road being crossed.
The sign is installed in front of railway crossings without an attendant, not equipped with traffic lights, at a distance of 10 m to the nearest rail in cases where, at a distance of 50 m from the nearest rail, the visibility distance of the train is less than the value specified in Table 5.
Temporary sign 2.5 may be installed before crossings when work is being carried out at the crossing.
When installing sign 2.5 before a railway crossing, preliminary sign 2.4 with plate 8.1.2 is not installed.

Such a sign is installed at complex intersections with limited visibility or high traffic flow. And of course, railway crossings are unregulated. As you can see, the rules clearly state the principles of the sign’s operation.

Crossroads

For example: when approaching an intersection where such a sign was installed, we saw a line and stopped.
Often, the stop line is located in such a way that when you stop in front of it, you cannot see the road you are entering. Remember: you need to stop BEFORE the line, not slow down, but stop, and only then, if necessary, drive up to the edge of the intersection with the roadway along the acceleration lane, and perform further maneuvers. Also, if there is no line, you must stop BEFORE the roadway you are crossing.

Unregulated crossing

The second option for installing the sign “Moving without stopping is prohibited” is an unregulated crossing. Inattention while moving is the cause of many disasters. Do not ignore this sign: you should stop in front of it, carefully look around, and only then start moving.

In both cases, if you do not comply with the basic requirements of the sign, all your arguments about insufficient visibility, and the like, will not have any influence on the decision of the traffic inspector.
Article 12.16. Failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs or road markings.
1. Failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs or road markings, with the exception of cases provided for in parts 2 and 3 of this article and other articles of this chapter, shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of three hundred rubles.

Have you ever thought about the shapes and colors we see on the road? For example, why do you think the STOP sign is octagonal and why is it red? On the one hand, many of us don’t care about this. After all, the most important thing is that these road signs perform their specific function by regulating safe traffic on roads.

But I would still like to note that the history of the origin of road signs is of some interest, especially when it comes to the Stop sign. Believe me, this is no less interesting than our article. So, let's find out all the most interesting things about the stop sign. Believe me, it will be interesting!


To answer all the questions of interest about the origin of the English “STOP” sign, we need to go with you to the beginning of the 20th century.

There was real chaos on the roads of that time in many countries around the world. After all, street roads at the beginning of the 20th century were shared by horses, horse-drawn carriages, cars and people. This led to a chaotic chaos of traffic, since there were no uniform traffic rules yet.

Naturally, the accident rate and severe road accidents in those years, it went up sharply in all countries of the world where automobile traffic appeared.

In major cities around the world, authorities have begun to realize that traffic regulation is urgently needed to manage traffic on the road.

One of the first major solutions to traffic control was proposed by William Phelps Eno, a New England native who came up with the first stop sign in traffic history.

Information about the first road sign was published in the American magazine " Rider and Driver" in 1900, in an article on road safety.

In an article about traffic reform, the author cited William Phelpsom, who proposed installing "Stop" signs at every busy intersection in major US cities.

But none of the US authorities heard William’s advice in those years. No, of course, the authorities of large US cities may have heard about the rational idea of ​​​​regulating traffic in America, but nevertheless, until the next decade, such road signs never appeared on the streets of large US cities.

It was only in 1915 that the first stop sign finally appeared on one of the streets of Detroit. Subsequently, this road sign began to spread and appear on all the busy streets of this city.

But according to many experts and government officials, installing such stop signs in the city did not improve road safety and was a waste of money.

And the point here is this. At the initial stage, no one stopped at the stop sign; all drivers simply did not notice it and deliberately ignored this sign. According to the same authorities, in those years only a policeman with a baton could force drivers to stop.

Stop sign shape


The first stop sign erected in the city of Detroit is often described in various ways. historical documents, it was in the shape of a white square 60 x 60 cm (2 x 2 ft) with black letters on the background. To our deep regret, there is no photograph or drawing of the first “Stop” road sign on the Internet, which, as we initially said, first appeared in Detroit. But there is a photograph online dated 1915, which was taken in Detroit at the corner of Woodward and Jefferson streets:


On the left, at the top of the photo, you can see the "Stop" sign, which of course did not look like the first road sign installed in Detroit, but still, this photo gives a clear idea of ​​​​what kind of road signs were started at that time install throughout Detroit.

As we can see from the photo, the first stop signs were a far cry from the red octagonal signs we see on roads around the world today.

By the way, after the first stop signs appeared in Detroit, their distribution began throughout major cities America. But all these signs were different, had in relation to each other different shapes, color, etc. outlines. It is for this very reason that drivers did not notice them on US roads.

Ultimately, in 1923 in Chicago, the United States Highway Safety Association at a meeting adopted a plan to introduce uniform road sign designations throughout the country:

  • Establishment of uniform road signs to indicate warnings about railway crossings
  • Introduction of uniform octagonal "STOP" signs
  • Introduction of uniform standards for “warning” signs and “attention” signs (square)
  • Standardization of direction signs (rectangle)

In 1924, the United States also held a national conference on street and highway safety, at which uniform recommendations for the colors of road signs were adopted. In one of the 1924 reports after the conference, you can see exactly the earliest date of color approval for road signs, when for road safety it was recommended to use a red background color for the “STOP” sign.

STOP sign color

Moreover, it should be noted that, back in the 1930s, a committee of traffic engineers in the United States formed recommendations to distribute yellow signs"Stop" throughout the United States, then by 1935 a manual on unified traffic control devices appeared in America, which is in force in this country to this day.

This manual approved uniform standards for stop road signs. Thus, in this manual, the US authorities approved two standards for stop signs:

A white rectangular stop sign and a yellow octagonal stop sign with black letters, or a black octagonal stop sign with yellow letters.


The yellow color of the first unified standardized stop signs was apparently approved in order to maximize the attention of drivers on the road.

But how can this be? After all, back in 1924, the US National Conference on Street and Highway Safety recommended that red stop signs be used throughout America?

Of course, this recommendation, mandatory in principle, was remembered and not forgotten. But in those years there was also a problem; there was no suitable decent material to make the road sign red and which would have long term service in aggressive street conditions.

As a result, despite the recommendations to use red on stop signs, in the USA and in many countries around the world red is used instead for a long time either yellow or black road signs with black or yellow lettering continued to be used.

There is only one reason - the impossibility of using red signs due to the unavailability of high-quality red pigments.

The most interesting thing is that despite the fact that good technologies for painting road signs subsequently appeared in the world, in the United States itself, in many of its states, yellow “Stop” signs still continued to be used.

And just recently, a single standard was introduced throughout America for octagonal stop signs, which must be red.

Red road signs came to Europe and Russia much earlier as a unified standard (read about this below). But still, as can be seen from the history of the “Stop” road sign, initially a red road sign, that is, a mandatory stop for vehicles, appeared as a standard in the United States itself.

But it just so happened that for the first time, as a single standard, octagonal red road signs began to be predominantly and massively used outside the United States itself, despite the fact that this red road sign was invented and first used in America.

History of road signs in Russia

The first road signs in Russia began to appear in 1910, i.e. after being held in 1909 international conference motorists, which was attended by representatives of the Government of the Russian Empire.

Here are the first four Russian road signs (circular):


Similar road signs were used until the end of 1927. Then, according to the resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the USSR dated December 1, 1927, new road signs were approved. This is what they looked like at that time:

And only in 1933 the number of characters was increased to 23. Most of the road signs used in our country since 1933 have received the colors and shapes that are familiar to us today. In addition, in 1933, road signs in Russia received various categories: "prohibiting", "indicative" and " warning".

However, in 1937 in our country a resolution was issued by the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR which ordered to reduce the number of road signs, since in the opinion of the authorities themselves this large number road signs did not help drivers, but only distracted them and created a threat to all road users.

In 1949, in Geneva, 80 countries (including Russia) ratified the new Convention on Road Traffic and partly the Protocol on Road Signs and Signals.

However, for our part, regarding road signs, our country did not sign this protocol in full, since the authorities considered that European road signs would only confuse drivers in our country, since people by that time were already accustomed to their own road signs in the USSR they have been used for a long time.

As a result, it turned out that in our country, even after graduation Patriotic War Road signs from the 1930s were still in use.

By the way, for reference, the system of signs approved in Geneva in those years was not supported by the United States itself, as well as Great Britain, China and Japan, which also had their own road signs and which were radically different from European signs. For example, in those years, most road signs in the United States had text symbols.

In 1959, the USSR signed the new Geneva Protocol on Road Traffic. As a result, starting from 1961, 78 road signs began to officially operate in our country. Most road signs from 1961 take on the appearance that is more familiar to us today:

When did the “STOP” sign appear in our country (passing without stopping is prohibited - “STOP”)?

Pay attention to the photo above. On the left you can see a round road sign, inside it you can see a red triangle with the inscription "Stop".

That is, this means that the Stop sign began to be used in the USSR-Russia in 1961. But, as you can see, this sign has little in common with the modern octagonal sign and the English inscription inside "STOP"

When did the octagonal red English road sign "STOP" begin to be used in our country?

It all started on November 8, 1968, when, during the UNESCO conference in Vienna, 68 countries signed a new convention on road safety.

In 1971, the Vienna Convention was supplemented by the European Agreement, in which the Europeans, as a compromise, introduced the American version of the "STOP" sign, which was a red octagon, into the uniform traffic rules. Thus, in those years, the sign with the English word “STOP” became the only text sign in the international system.

In our country, the English-language red octagonal “STOP” sign appeared in 1973, when the new GOST 10807-71 road signs used in the USSR came into force.

This GOST included 105 road signs, most of which were already easily recognizable by drivers in those years.

So we can say that Vienna Convention on road safety was the main final stage in the international evolution of road signs, as well as the standardization of uniform traffic rules around the world.

As a result, according to the convention signed in Vienna, countries such as the USA, USSR, Great Britain, China and Japan began to take into account a single European standard of traffic rules.

Why are the color of STOP road signs red?


There is a simple answer to this question. Do you agree that red color stands out from all others in some special way? Also, red light tends not to mix with other objects in the foreground. The most interesting thing is that the color red is perceived well on the road even by those people who have vision problems.

Thanks to interesting properties red octagonal stop sign of this color visible from afar. It can be seen in a straight line at a distance of up to 1 km.

In addition, as we already told you in the article about red brake lights, our brain subconsciously associates the color red with the color of blood, which makes us feel dangerous.

And according to research, the color red also affects a person’s obedience.


To prove this, it was carried out in 2011, it clearly showed that the color red can influence the behavior of not only animals and primates, but also humans.

In particular, let us clarify the following: during the study, scientists conducted an experiment with rhesus monkeys (a species of monkeys living in Puerto Rico).

So, during the experiment, two human experimenters (a man and a woman) entered a cage in which a colony of monkeys lived.

Both experimenters then knelt down and placed two plastic trays in front of the monkeys.

Next, these two people took out a piece of apple from their backpacks and began to hold them at chest level so that each monkey could see the apples. Then each of the researchers put his piece of apple on the tray and at the same time got up from his knees and took two steps back.


During the experiment, researchers who entered the monkeys' cage each time changed their clothes: a cap and a T-shirt, which, as is known, had different colors(blue, green and red).

To ensure that the experiment was complete, the study was conducted and tested on both females and males.

The results of the experiment were amazing. First, the monkeys did not pay attention to the gender of the experimenter. Also, the monkeys did not pay attention to the green and blue caps and T-shirts of the researchers. But something else was surprising.


In most cases during the experiment, the monkeys tried to avoid the person who was wearing a red T-shirt or a red baseball cap.

As a result of such concerns, most of the monkeys in the study chose to steal an apple from the tray of a person who was not wearing a red T-shirt or a red cap.

There is also one interesting study in the history of science, during which scientists conducted a thorough analysis of the results of the 2004 Olympic Games.

So, scientists have discovered that on these Olympic Games red was also the dominant color among the winning athletes.


According to research, athletes wearing red uniforms became winners more often than, for example, athletes wearing blue sports uniforms.

This dominance of athletes in red uniform was especially noted in hand-to-hand sports, such as wrestling.

All these studies, according to scientists, prove that our fear of the color red is a product of the evolutionary adaptation of animals and humans to the surrounding nature.

That is why it is no coincidence that people know that the color red means “no”, “prohibition”, “danger”, etc.


We and monkeys are primates and also belong to social view mammals. The most interesting thing is that in both worlds (the human world and the monkey world) color is very important.

For example, color helped ancient people, it helped and continues to help monkeys today to determine by the reaction of their other relatives whether food is edible.

Let’s say that if a monkey eats inedible food, its face will soon turn red, which will signal to other primates that this food cannot be eaten.

Thus, according to scientists, color has a deeper and broader effect not only on monkeys, but also on people themselves.

Yes, of course, you can object, saying that these studies do not directly prove that the color red directly affects people and always warns them of danger. But still, scientists know for sure that the color red affects us more than any other color.


Please note that in addition to the red Stop sign (driving without stopping is prohibited), we are surrounded on the roads by red special signals of various special services, red brake lights of cars, red side lights of various vehicles, etc. etc.

And agree with us that this use of red has proven itself well for more than 50 years all over the world. And if the color red did not have such a clear influence on us, and also did not properly warn us about danger, then we would have long ago stopped responding to these red danger signals, which could cause a huge increase in the same accident rate throughout the world.

In this case, scientists would have long ago convinced the governments of most countries to use other warning colors on their roads.

But as we see for ourselves today, the color red has a terrifying effect on all road users, which means it is perceived by everyone as it should be.

Today there are many signs to regulate traffic.

Some limit speed limit, others show the direction of movement or prohibit it on a certain section of the road. These include a stop sign, a line white which on a red background is familiar to all car enthusiasts.

What sanctions can a motorist face for violating this element? road markings.

In this article:

What signs restrict traffic?

In fact, there are several of them for drivers.

This, first of all, is a familiar “brick” to all motorists, symbolizing the fact that the lane the driver wants to enter will be one-way.

There is another sign, separately indicated in the traffic rules, according to which driving without stopping on this section of the road is prohibited. This is the clearly written word “Stop” on English.

Road markings are also applied to the roads before traffic lights: thus, before a traffic light, markings called a stop line sign are often applied to the road. Crossing it can also be fraught with trouble for the driver in the form of a large fine.

What is the fine for running a stop sign?

If you drive through a stop sign without stopping, the driver may be subject to a fine of 500 rubles. The situation is more complicated when the person driving, ignoring road signs, drove into the oncoming lane.

Then not only a fine is possible, but also deprivation driver's license, in which a person cannot drive a car for four or six months.

When a similar violation was committed again (and this happens quite often), then the penalties are tightened. For example, the fine increases to 5 thousand rubles.

And if the offense was recorded not by CCTV cameras, but by a traffic police inspector, the violator faces deprivation of rights for a period of one year.

However, in most cases, when the rules for passing a stop sign are violated, such actions result in a fine of five hundred rubles for the driver. Many people driving immediately agree to pay the sanctions applied to them.

However, in some cases the fact that an offense has been committed is not so obvious. This is especially true in situations where photographs from surveillance cameras or other similar sources serve as evidence of the offense.

Is it possible to appeal a fine for running a stop sign without stopping?

In fact, the driver can present a number of arguments that allow him to avoid liability. The first one is that the sign was not visible due to bad weather conditions. Agree that it can be difficult to notice due to fog or heavy rain.

The second reason may require advice from a lawyer. The fact is that there are certain standards for installing such signs. Violation of them may indicate that the sign was installed illegally. Then the specialist will help formulate the necessary arguments for the driver.

However, you must remember that to appeal sanctions there is a limited period of 10 calendar days. This rule applies regardless of whether the imposed sanctions are appealed to the traffic police or to the court.

Of course, if the markup is present, no questions arise. Everything is clear from the definition.

2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited.” It is prohibited to drive without stopping in front of the stop line, and if there is none, in front of the edge of the roadway being crossed. The driver must give way to vehicles moving along the intersection, and if there is a sign 8.13 - on the main road.

Sign 2.5 can be installed in front of a railway crossing or quarantine post. In these cases, the driver must stop in front of the stop line, and if there is no stop line, in front of the sign.

What's in the definition we're talking about only about markup, it also follows from the definition of markup 1.12.

1.12 - indicates the place where the driver must stop when there is a 2.5 sign or when there is a prohibiting traffic light signal (traffic controller);

The Rules do not mention the use of sign 6.16 “Stop line” with road sign 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited.”

6.16 "Stop line". The place where vehicles stop when there is a prohibiting traffic light signal (traffic controller).

Then what should we do if the traffic lights are turned off and the intersection is unregulated, and there are no markings, there are only signs 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited” and 6.16 “Stop line”.

We will stop at sign 6.16 “Stop Line”. If the Road Traffic Rules omit the definition of our actions, then GOST R 52289-2004 says that sign 6.16 can be used to duplicate markings 1.12.

5.7.18

The sign may be used to duplicate markings 1.12, in which case it is installed in the same cross-section with the markings.

Of course, it would be correct if, in accordance with the rules for the use of road signs and markings, if there was a sign 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited,” markings 1.12 would be applied ( stop line).

6.2.14

We would not have to deal with the stopping place, in the absence of markings and the presence of sign 6.16 “Stop Line”, if the following were added to the description of sign 2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited” - sign 6.16.

2.5 “Driving without stopping is prohibited.” It is prohibited to drive without stopping before the stop line ( sign 6.16 ), and if it is not there, in front of the edge of the crossed roadway. The driver must give way to vehicles moving along the intersection, and if there is a sign 8.13 - on the main road.

Good luck on the road!

    Good evening, Sergey. I wanted to clarify the rules for installing sign 6.16, if it self-use. If the sign is used independently (without marking 1.12), then the distance from the sign to the traffic light, barrier or near rail is determined according to 6.2.14. There is no such clarification in paragraph 6.2.14. Is it legal to install a sign on a pole where a traffic light is located?

    • Sergey Milyutin

      Denis, hello.

      Sign 6.16 “Stop line”, in the absence of marking 1.12, is installed according to the requirements (clause 6.2.14) for the place where the marking is applied, as expressly stated in clause 5.7.18 of the national standard.

      Paragraph 6.2.14 contains the rules for the use of markings 1.12, which indicate the location of vehicles stopping at a prohibitory traffic light signal, as well as sign 6.16; accordingly, the requirements for placement should not differ, otherwise this is already a contradiction of signs and markings.

      If the traffic light is installed on the side of the roadway, then sign 6.16 should be installed at a distance of 3-5 meters from it.

      Yuri

      Hello! I would like to know exactly at what distance from the traffic light sign 6.16 and stop line 1.12 should be installed. There are intersections in Volgograd where from a traffic light to a sign is up to seven meters...

      • Sergey Milyutin

        Yuri, Hello.

        The rules for installing signs and markings are determined by the national standard.

        GOST R 52289-2004. Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guide devices.

        5.7.18 Sign 6.16 “Stop line” is used to indicate where vehicles stop at controlled intersections and at unregulated railway crossings.

        The sign is installed to the right of the road or above the carriageway. It is permissible to install a sign above each traffic lane.

        If the sign is used independently (without marking 1.12), then the distance from the sign to the traffic light, barrier or near rail is determined according to 6.2.14.

        The sign may be used to duplicate markings 1.12, in which case it is installed in the same cross-section with the markings.

        In the rules for installing the sign 6.16 "Stop line" it is noted that the sign in the absence of markings 1.12 , is installed according to 6.2.14 . This clause of the standard defines the rules for applying markings 1.12 .

        6.2.14 Marking 1.12 (stop line) is used before the intersection if there is a sign 2.5 “Moving without stopping is prohibited”, in places where traffic is regulated by traffic lights, and before railway crossings (Figures B.7, B.9, B.17).

        The markings are applied in front of the intersection if there is a 2.5 sign at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the intersecting roadway.

        Marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of 10-20 m from the traffic light T.1 or T.2 when the traffic light is located above the roadway and 3-5 m when located on the side of the roadway to ensure the visibility of their signals. Allowed to reduce specified distances respectively up to 5 and 1 m in the presence of T.3 traffic lights of any design.

        If there is a pedestrian crossing, markings are applied at a distance of at least 1 m in front of the crossing (Figure B.18).

        The markings are applied at a distance of 1-3 m to the T.5 traffic light, which is used to regulate the movement of route buses or trolleybuses moving along a specially designated lane.

        At railway crossings, marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of 5 m from the barrier or traffic light, and in their absence - at a distance of 10 m from the nearest rail in one alignment with sign 2.5 (Figure B.17.).

      • Kirill

        Good afternoon,
        please tell us how to properly drive through a complex intersection - two intersections of roadways with a dividing lawn and a stop line - your document has a suitable picture with the only difference being that at the real intersection there is a stop line and a stop sign, but there is no traffic light. I am interested in how to correctly make a U-turn at such an intersection while moving along the roadway along the dividing lawn. The intersection is completely real - Yekaterinburg, the intersection of Kirovgradskaya-Stakhanovskaya streets, a turn is made from Kirovgradskaya to Kirovgradskaya in the opposite direction, all signs and markings are visible on maps.google.com. Doubts about the correctness of a turn at such an intersection arise precisely because there is no traffic light above the stop sign and next to the stop line, and there are no traffic lights within a radius of 5 meters (GOST R 52289-2004) that could indicate when you can cross this stop line .

        Sincerely,
        Kirill

        • Sergey Milyutin

          Hello Kirill.
          If I understood correctly, you meant this intersection in Yekaterinburg, st. Kirovgradskaya and st. Stakhanovskaya.



          If you look at the pictures (I don’t know what the markings look like at the moment), we see a violation of the compliance between the installation of sign 6.16 “Stop line” and the application of markings 1.12 (stop line), they should be in the same cross section.

          6.2.14 Marking 1.12 (stop line) is used before an intersection if there is a sign 2.5 “Moving without stopping is prohibited”, in places where traffic is regulated by traffic lights, and before railway crossings (Figures B.7, B.9, B.17) .

          Marking 1.12 is applied at a distance of 10-20 m from the traffic light T.1 or T.2 when the traffic light is located above the roadway and 3-5 m when located on the side of the roadway to ensure the visibility of their signals.

          5.7.18 Sign 6.16 “Stop line” is used to indicate where vehicles stop at controlled intersections and at unregulated railway crossings.
          If the sign is used independently (without marking 1.12), then the distance from the sign to the traffic light, barrier or near rail is determined according to 6.2.14.

          7.3.10 (except T.3, T.6, T.10). Traffic light T.1.g is installed only above the roadway.

          Traffic lights installed behind the intersection can be classified as redundant. Although, as you can see, there are no main traffic lights.

          7.3.11 Traffic lights T.1 of any design and T.2 installed on the side of the roadway are duplicated.

          If there are dividing strips, guide islands or traffic islands, duplicate traffic lights (except T.1.p, T.2 with a “right” arrow) are installed at the intersection, behind it between roadways or to the left of the intersection. In this case, the installation of a backup traffic light on the left behind the intersection is allowed if the roadway in the oncoming direction has no more than three lanes, and the traffic intensity in each lane is no more than 500 units per hour.

          Traffic lights located above the roadway may not be duplicated.

          While there is only one exit, since your traffic is organized in this way and to avoid conflicts, stop before the marking 1.12 (stop line), if there is none, before the sign 6.16 “Stop line” and be guided by the traffic lights installed behind the intersection.

          13.7. A driver who enters an intersection when the traffic light signal permits must drive in the intended direction regardless of the traffic light signal at the exit from the intersection.

          And my advice, try sending a request to the regional traffic police through the official website so that they consider the possibility of putting the traffic light facility at this intersection in order.
          Best regards, Sergey.

          • Kirill

            Sergey, thank you very much for your detailed answer and your time. I completely agree with you, while I was reading the relevant GOSTs I noticed one more point:
            7.3.2 When installing T.3 traffic lights of any design, visibility of their signals must be ensured for the driver of a vehicle stopped in front of the 6.16 “Stop Line” sign or marking 1.12 “Stop Line” on the outer lane closest to this traffic light.
            If I understand correctly, the traffic light should not only be next to the stop line/stop sign (no further than 5 meters), but it should also be located to the right of the traffic lane, and not on the side of the oncoming lane.
            I will try to talk to the traffic police at this intersection.

            Sincerely,
            Kirill

              Kirill, regarding point 7.3.2, is not entirely suitable in your case. The image shows traffic light T.1 “with repeater” T.3.

              7.2.6 of the same designs, if their visibility for the driver of a vehicle stopped at the stop line on the outermost lane of the roadway in a given direction is difficult. T.3 traffic lights of any design are installed on the same rack with T.1 traffic lights of the same design.

              Today, such a design of the installation is not often found.

              T.1 traffic lights are used at intersections.

              7.2.1 Traffic lights T.1 and T.1.g are used at intersections in the case of simultaneous passage of vehicles in all permitted directions from a given approach to the intersection and at regulated pedestrian crossings located between intersections.

              Visibility of traffic lights T.1 according to GOST R 52289-2004:

              7.3.1 to which they apply. If this condition cannot be met, install sign 1.8 “Traffic light regulation” according to 5.2.11.

              It is allowed to reduce the indicated distances to 5 and 1 m, respectively, in the presence of T.3 traffic lights of any design.

              It’s right that you decided to contact the traffic police, today, as a rule, they respond to requests and send the appropriate instructions to the responsible services (administration), everything else, of course, no longer depends on them.
              Best regards, Sergey.

              As we can see, the “Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guide devices” determine that sign 6.16 “Stop line” and marking 1.12 (stop line) must be on the same line.

              On our roads, many things often look different. There is a situation about which you are writing. Then what are our actions in accordance with the Rules?

              In the Rules, regarding markings 1.12 (stop line), it is definitely stated that the markings indicate the place where we must stop.

              Horizontal markings (lines, arrows, inscriptions and other markings on the roadway) establish certain modes and traffic order or contain other information for road users.

              1.12 (stop line) - indicates the place, where the driver must stop when there is a 2.5 sign or when there is a prohibiting traffic light signal (traffic controller);

              As you can see, the markings establish certain modes and order of movement, which obliges us to comply with the requirements of the road markings. But there is one thing here, the Rules also say that if the meaning of road signs and marking lines contradict each other, drivers must be guided by the road signs.

              In cases where the meanings of road signs, including temporary ones, and horizontal markings contradict each other or the markings are not sufficiently distinguishable, drivers must be guided by the road signs.

              That is, in the situation you are talking about, if we follow the definition from the Rules of the Road, we must stop in front of sign 6.16, but the definition of marking 1.12 (stop line) clearly shows us the place where we must stop if there is sign 2.5 or prohibiting traffic light signal (traffic controller). And if we turn again to the Rules, 6.16 “Stop line” refers to information signs that inform us about the location settlements and other objects, as well as about established or recommended driving modes.

              If there is a marking 1.12 (stop line), we stop in front of it. If there are no markings, we are guided by sign 6.16 “Stop line”. As follows from the same GOST R 52289-2004, sign 6.16 “Stop line” is allowed to be used to duplicate markup 1.12.

              As you can see, there is no need to make any changes to the Rules; you just need to apply markings and install road signs in accordance with the requirements of the Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guide devices.

The fine for a stop sign is not always known to drivers. When studying traffic rules, no special emphasis is placed on it, but it is a reliable protection for the motorist from an accident. Compliance with all requirements guarantees a safe trip, as traffic police inspectors remind you of.

When is a stop sign ticket issued?

A stop sign is issued if the driver does not stop in front of it. In accordance with the traffic rules, this must be done directly in front of it or an additional line. They are mandatory, as they mark potentially dangerous areas.

In such places, driving without stopping is prohibited for a reason. In accordance with the rules, the sign is installed at railway crossings, in places where pedestrians gather, or at closed intersections. So it’s not for nothing that he appears on the sidelines; you need to pay special attention to him.

What is the fine for driving without stopping?

Priority sign No. 2.5 is subject to a mandatory full stop requirement. If the driver asks what fine he will have to pay, he will be surprised. After drawing up the protocol, the amount will be announced, which varies depending on the situation:

  • Stop sign – 500 rubles;
  • Stop line – 800 rubles.

Even if your friend prefers not to stop in front of the lines, you should not imitate his actions. In such cases, the risk of getting into an accident increases sharply, which is confirmed by statistics. If you follow the traffic rules, you can protect yourself from road accidents.

A stop sign requires a fine, but drivers often believe that they will not have to face administrative liability. The reason for this is the lack of traffic police inspectors who could compile either. People try to take advantage of this opportunity by calmly driving straight across the line.

If you don't stop at a stop sign, you shouldn't ask what the fine is. Yes, traffic police inspectors do not try to catch violators, since they must independently realize potential danger. If you fail to stop before crossing without a barrier or at a dangerous intersection, you can get into a life-threatening accident.

Procedure for issuing an administrative penalty

A fine for not stopping at a stop sign is mandatory. The driver must be very familiar with the procedure to ensure that it is carried out correctly. Otherwise, the actions will turn out to be a violation on the part of the representatives of the state traffic police.

  • Confirmation of violation;
  • Drawing up a protocol;
  • Issuing a fine.

At every stage there is important features. Car owners should become familiar with them so that critical mistakes are not made. If you do not have the necessary knowledge, you should visit the auto legal portal to get useful information.

Confirmation of violation

First, the traffic police inspector must prove the violation. If he does not do this, drawing up the contract is considered an unlawful act. Drivers often take advantage of this subtlety, because it is difficult to confirm a fine for failure to stop at a stop sign. This requires witnesses or video footage. When the necessary evidence is presented, you will have to agree with the statement.

Drawing up a protocol

Driving without stopping is prohibited, the fine is small, but even to formalize it you will need a report from the scene of the incident. At this stage, it is also advised to inquire about the actions of the traffic police inspector. In some cases, fabulous details appear on paper, including hitting a stop line. This is a serious offense and you should not sign such documents. It is worth pointing out any errors in the description of the place, so as not to shell out a tidy sum later.

Registration of a fine

You can always find out from the traffic police inspector what the fine is for a stop sign, and he has no right to deceive the driver. If this happens, you can safely record the conversation, and then report a serious offense during execution. Moreover, instant payments were canceled several years ago, so you should not agree to persuasion. Broadcast cash official is punishable in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, which means that payment of the specified amount will have to be made later.

Is there deception?

Failure to stop at a stop sign is not considered a serious traffic violation. A small amount of a fine rarely interests traffic police inspectors, so fraud is discussed in rare cases. Although there are still times when drivers are faced with such unlawful actions. They should be stopped, for which you will have to submit an application to the prosecutor's office for an inspection. Yes, it will take some time, but the fight against corruption, even on such a small scale, is useful for every car enthusiast.

The traffic rules precisely describe all the signs that a driver must know. The stop may not be that important, but even it should not be overlooked. Regular issuance of fines gradually leads to a worsening of the situation, so a person has a “chance” of being deprived of his driver’s license for some period of time. It is better to try to avoid such mistakes, especially since they can save lives.
