Rules of driver behavior on the road. Traffic Rules A set of necessary documents - this is what

SERVICEABILITY OF THE VEHICLE

2.3. The driver of the vehicle is obliged to:

2.3.1. Before leaving, check and ensure that the vehicle is in good technical condition on the way in accordance with the Basic Regulations for the admission of vehicles to operation and the responsibilities of officials to ensure road safety.

The driver is obliged to drive only in a serviceable vehicle. And for this, before starting to move, he is obliged to make sure that there are no malfunctions provided for in the “Basic provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the responsibilities of officials to ensure road safety” (and the Appendix to them - “List of malfunctions and conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited”). funds").

According to the traffic rules, all vehicle malfunctions provided for by the above documents can be divided into two groups:

  1. Absolute faults;
  2. Relative faults.

We consider absolute – “real” – malfunctions to be those that cause serious and unconditional damage to road safety. In other words, traffic safety depends FUNCTIONALLY on the fact of their presence: there is a malfunction - the movement is dangerous. Therefore, it is no secret that the driver...

It is prohibited to drive if there is a malfunction of the service brake system, steering, coupling device (as part of a road train), headlights and tail lights are not on (missing) in the dark or in conditions of insufficient visibility, the windshield wiper is not working on the driver's side during rain or snowfall.

Let's look at each of these faults:
1. Malfunction of the service brake system;

2. Steering malfunction;

3. Malfunction of the coupling device (when driving with a trailer);

4. Malfunction of external lighting devices (when driving at night and in conditions of insufficient visibility);

5. Malfunction of the driver's side windshield wiper (when driving in rain or snow).

Agree, the very fact of the presence of the listed malfunctions seriously “hits” road safety. Indeed, try emergency braking if the brakes malfunction... Or drive in the dark with the headlights and tail lights off... An accident is guaranteed!

In this case, the driver’s algorithm of actions when these same five malfunctions occur should be the same: if a corresponding malfunction is detected, stop, try to fix it on the spot, and if the result is negative, refuse to operate the vehicle.

However, malfunctions are different. That's why…

If other faults arise along the way, for which the appendix to the Basic Provisions prohibits the operation of vehicles, the driver must eliminate them, and if this is not possible, then he can proceed to the place of parking or repair, taking the necessary precautions.

Other faults provided for in the “List...” should be called relative, because the driver is still allowed to get to the repair site or parking lot. This is a fairly large list of faults. We will talk about them when analyzing the corresponding section of our website.

Here we allow ourselves to focus on one example of such a malfunction - for example, a non-functioning speedometer.

The driver cannot control the speed of his vehicle, and this is no longer safe. However, the fact of the presence of such faults “hits” road safety CORRELATELY. That is, safety, of course, suffers, but the driver’s caution and forethought can compensate for this shortcoming.

The driver’s action algorithm in this case will be slightly different: if a malfunction is detected, stop, try to fix it on the spot, and if this is impossible, proceed to the repair or parking place in compliance with safety precautions. (True, some drivers with such malfunctions spend their whole lives driving to the place of repair or parking.)

PASSING AN INDOXICATION EXAMINATION

2.3.2. At the request of officials who are granted the right of state supervision and control over road safety and vehicle operation, undergo an examination for alcohol intoxication and a medical examination for intoxication.

Agree, you don’t have to comment on this paragraph of the Rules. It is well known that the driver is required to undergo a test for intoxication. However, there are several fundamental “BUTs” here...

The first "BUT".

The requirement for the driver to undergo an intoxication examination can only come from an official who is vested with the right of state supervision and control over road safety and operation of vehicles.

For example, a slightly tipsy local police officer demanded that the driver undergo an intoxication test. Well, it seemed to him that you were drunk. This is abuse of authority. For example, a traffic police inspector has a similar right. You can't get away with it here anymore. Although, why don’t you get away with it? There is a second “BUT”.

Second "BUT".

In order to subject a driver to an examination procedure, the relevant authorized person must have grounds. Thus, according to Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 475 of June 26, 2008, “sufficient grounds to believe that the driver of a vehicle is intoxicated is the presence of one or more of the following signs:

  • smell of alcohol on the breath;
  • instability of posture;
  • speech disorder;
  • a sharp change in the color of the skin of the face;
  • behavior that is inappropriate to the situation.”

In other words, if the driver does not “possess” the above “merits”, he is not subject to examination for intoxication. At the very least, knowledge of this circumstance can stun and even reason with a particularly presumptuous traffic cop.

Third "BUT".

It is important for the driver to remember that there are two independent examination procedures: the actual examination (on site) and a medical examination.

The actual examination (on the spot) is an analysis for the state of ONLY ALCOHOL intoxication and nothing else.

Therefore, the inspector’s talk about “peeing in a plastic cup for a rapid test for drug use” is a gross violation of the Law.

And one moment. The driver may refuse an on-site examination, citing, for example, his disgust: not everyone wants to touch the breathalyzer mouthpiece with their lips. What if it’s already a little used?

As for a medical examination for intoxication (any intoxication!), refusal of it means automatic recognition of the driver as intoxicated and the application of appropriate administrative sanctions.

The driver of a vehicle of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, internal troops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, engineering, technical and road construction military formations under federal executive authorities, rescue military units of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Disaster Relief is obliged undergo an examination for alcohol intoxication and a medical examination for intoxication, also at the request of officials of the military automobile inspection.

Let's summarize for simplicity. These drivers, in addition to the traffic police inspector, are also required to obey the legal requirement of VAI employees to undergo an intoxication test.

And one moment.

In established cases, undergo a test of knowledge of the Rules and driving skills, as well as a medical examination to confirm the ability to drive vehicles.

We will leave this point without comment, since the methodology for these procedures is not prescribed by law. Although the first shoots of this provision are emerging: from September 1, 2013, drivers deprived of the right to drive a vehicle will have to pass a theoretical exam on traffic rules.

PROVISION OF VEHICLE TO OFFICIALS

2.3.3. Provide a vehicle:

  • employees of the police, federal state security agencies and federal security service agencies in cases provided for by law;
  • medical and pharmaceutical workers to transport citizens to the nearest medical facility in cases that threaten their lives.

The interests of society (or a particular person) do not always coincide with the interests of the state and public services. The rules provide for cases when the driver of a vehicle is obliged to provide himself and his car to a certain category of officials.

Firstly, these are police officers (Ministry of Internal Affairs), federal state security agencies (FSO), and federal security service agencies (FSB). They have such a right in connection with the performance of an urgent task.

Secondly, these are medical and pharmaceutical workers when they transport citizens in conditions that threaten their lives.

Regardless of the direction of travel, the driver is obliged to provide his vehicle to the specified categories of officials. You can, of course, be indignant and indignant about this. However, there are two “mitigating” circumstances here.

First. Imagine for a moment (God forbid, of course) that it is you or your loved ones who need the help of law enforcement agencies or doctors. It is unlikely that you will oppose such a duty.
And here is the second circumstance.

Note.

Persons using a vehicle must, at the request of the driver, issue him a certificate of the established form or make an entry in the waybill (indicating the duration of the trip, distance traveled, his last name, position, service ID number, name of his organization), and medical and pharmaceutical workers - issue a coupon of the established form.

Thus, the driver has the right to demand the issuance of documents certifying the fact that he has fulfilled the functions of placing his vehicle at the disposal of the relevant officials. What if the wife (or husband) becomes jealous: “Where have you been? Where have you been hanging around?

But that's not all.

At the request of vehicle owners, federal state security authorities and federal security service authorities shall compensate them in accordance with the established procedure for losses, expenses or damage in accordance with the law.

Consequently, the FSO and FSB authorities will be obliged, at the request of the vehicle owner, to compensate for losses, expenses and damage in accordance with current legislation (for example, to compensate for the cost of fuels and lubricants).

By the way, about providing a vehicle. Our obligation to provide our own vehicle is not some purely “Russian” nonsense. For example, in the notoriously democratic United States, a driver can also be “thrown out” of his vehicle in the name of protecting the achievements of the “great” American democracy.

At least, as a country of vaunted democracy, we are not thrown out of the vehicle.

Discussion: One comment

    Hello, there is so much confusion and incomprehensible clauses and terms in our traffic regulations that the inspectors themselves refuse to comment on them. Here is an example from life, article 2.3.1, a burnt-out low-beam light bulb while driving in the sunny time of the day, which the driver could not physically see in one headlight, the inspector states the fact of control, and to the question of how it is possible to ensure good technical condition on the road without seeing a malfunction, there is no answer like this and they cut banknotes from drivers like wool from sheep throughout vast Russia, the courts are all on the side of the law (judicial practice) and there are more than a dozen such clauses in the traffic rules.

It has long been no secret that in our daily lives we often ignore traffic rules, although we know that not only the lives of the people around us, but also our own depend on their implementation or non-compliance.

This is an unforgivable mistake, but if at least some of their actions have been brought to automaticity, then it’s scary to mention newcomers in such cases.

In this article, we suggest reminding you of just eight basic driver rules, which in no case should be ignored, regardless of the urgency and importance of the matter, or driving experience, or the time of day, or the location of the action. Among other things, I would like to provide you with some tips that will certainly contribute to more confident, calm, competent and safe driving of your car.

Basic rules of driver behavior on the road

1. Undoubtedly, the worst thing that can happen on the road is the death of one of the participants in the traffic accident. If a tragedy occurs through the fault of the driver, then his life in one minute can turn, without exaggeration, into hell. That is why you should be especially careful and be sure to slow down when approaching pedestrian crossings. If a pedestrian is already ready to cross the street and is standing at a zebra crossing, according to traffic rules, the driver is obliged to let him through. But it often happens that a person crosses the road in the wrong place. What to do in this case? Most drivers begin to honk their horn angrily and flash their high beams, which is likely to instill panic in the unfortunate pedestrian, thereby aggravating the situation. But there is something else out of harm's way.

2. For those who still remember theirs, when you mention a double solid wall, the word “wall” probably immediately comes to mind. After all, this is what teachers call it, trying to convey to future drivers that turning around in such places is prohibited, and the risk of colliding with a car moving in the opposite direction is very high. Those. We remember an important driver rule: no matter how much you are in a hurry, it is prohibited to drive beyond the double solid marking line, as well as to turn around at pedestrian crossings or railway crossings, inside tunnels, on bridges, in places where route vehicles stop or where there is visibility of the road in one direction less than 100 meters.

3. Within populated areas, it is unacceptable to exceed the speed limit of 60 km/h; in courtyards and residential areas, all you can afford is 20 km/h. If you are leaving a populated area in a car or truck (provided that its permissible weight does not exceed 3.5 tons), it is permissible to accelerate up to 90 km/h, and on highways up to 110 km/h. According to sad statistics, speeding is the culprit in most vehicle accidents.

4. Red is the color that can attract attention. You must remember the rules of the driver for the rest of your life, that if you value your life, follow the traffic lights. It often happens that a person carelessly drives through a red light, knowing that his car has cool license plates, and his notebook contains all the necessary telephone numbers of the necessary officials. Perhaps... But think for a minute whether this will save you from a 15-ton KAMAZ.

5. Driving close to the vehicle ahead, forming a kind of train, is very dangerous. Even if your car is so cool that it will definitely exert psychological pressure on everyone else with its appearance, it’s still better not to take risks. - It will be cheaper.

6. Some modern drivers simply have the talent to park in such a way that the entire street is sure to stand behind him. “No Stopping” signs are usually not installed unless absolutely necessary. Cars left in unauthorized places cause huge traffic jams. Imagine that at this moment you will not be driving your own car, but on the way to the hospital, when God forbid, you or one of your loved ones is in danger, and it is simply impossible to get to the place where help will be provided.

7. Our drivers are divided into those who, apparently, save light bulbs, so they drive with their “dimensions” on, and those who, by hook or by crook, are trying to attract attention, so they drive with not only headlights, but also fog lights on, even in clear weather sunny day. And this all happens despite the fact that there are clear rules governing actions in these situations. Remember the main thing - we turn on the low beam at night and when conditions with limited visibility arise, side lights are needed when parking, low beam headlights (or) - while driving.

8. There is no need to once again remind you of the rules for driving through the intersection, because of course, all drivers are able to distinguish a secondary road from the main one, and a green traffic light from a red one. But there is one rule that is very often ignored. But in vain, because it is neglect of it that will ultimately cost us, as a rule, time and nerves. The driver's rule is actually simple: if you see that you will not have time to get through the intersection when the traffic light is green, it is better not to leave at all.

On our roads it can sometimes be very difficult to understand the road markings. It’s no secret that it often happens that they draw it incorrectly, and it leads to nowhere, and road services are in no hurry to reline it. In this situation, there is only one rule for the driver - look out. Despite the late evening or disgusting weather, try to see what is painted on the asphalt. Violating road marking regulations is a serious offense and is therefore severely punished.

Another of the driver’s rules, both generally accepted and legalized, is the rule not to interfere with traffic. The most difficult thing, of course, is. Although in reality everything is simple. – You need to try to achieve smoothness when driving, without making any sudden movements, movements, changes in course or changes in speed. To avoid creating dangerous situations on the road for all road users, both drivers and pedestrians, it is important to be predictable.

As you can see for yourself, there is nothing complicated in following these simple driver rules, and attentiveness, politeness and compliance with traffic rules will serve you well.

4. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Responsibilities of pedestrians

4.1. Pedestrians must move on sidewalks, pedestrian paths, bicycle and pedestrian paths, and in their absence, along the roadsides. Pedestrians carrying or carrying bulky objects, as well as people in wheelchairs, may move along the edge of the roadway if their movement on sidewalks or shoulders creates an obstacle for other pedestrians.
If there are no sidewalks, pedestrian paths, bicycle paths or shoulders, and also if it is impossible to move along them, pedestrians can move along a bicycle path or walk in one row along the edge of the roadway (on roads with a dividing strip - along the outer edge of the roadway).
When walking along the edge of the roadway, pedestrians must walk towards the movement of vehicles. Persons moving in wheelchairs, driving a motorcycle, moped, bicycle, in these cases must follow the direction of travel of the vehicles.
When crossing the road and driving along the sides or edge of the roadway in the dark or in conditions of insufficient visibility, pedestrians are recommended, and outside populated areas, pedestrians are required to carry objects with reflective elements and ensure that these objects are visible to vehicle drivers.

4.2. The movement of organized pedestrian columns along the roadway is permitted only in the direction of movement of vehicles on the right side of no more than four people in a row. In front and behind the column on the left side there should be escorts with red flags, and in the dark and in conditions of poor visibility - with lights on: in front - white, in back - red.
Groups of children are allowed to drive only on sidewalks and pedestrian paths, and in their absence, along the roadsides, but only during daylight hours and only when accompanied by adults.

4.3. Pedestrians must cross the road at pedestrian crossings, including underground and overground ones, and in their absence, at intersections along sidewalks or curbs.
At a controlled intersection, it is allowed to cross the roadway between opposite corners of the intersection (diagonally) only if there are markings 1.14.1 or 1.14.2 indicating such a pedestrian crossing.


If there is no crossing or intersection in the visibility zone, it is allowed to cross the road at right angles to the edge of the roadway in areas without a dividing strip and fences where it is clearly visible in both directions.
The requirements of this paragraph do not apply to bicycle zones.

4.4. In places where traffic is regulated, pedestrians must be guided by the signals of a traffic controller or a pedestrian traffic light, and in its absence, a transport traffic light.

4.5. At unregulated pedestrian crossings, pedestrians can enter the roadway (tram tracks) after assessing the distance to approaching vehicles, their speed and making sure that the crossing will be safe for them. When crossing the road outside a pedestrian crossing, pedestrians, in addition, must not interfere with the movement of vehicles and exit from behind a standing vehicle or other obstacle that limits visibility without making sure that there are no approaching vehicles.

4.6. Once on the roadway (tram tracks), pedestrians should not linger or stop unless this is related to ensuring traffic safety. Pedestrians who do not have time to complete the crossing must stop on a traffic island or on a line dividing traffic flows in opposite directions. You can continue crossing only after making sure that further movement is safe and taking into account the traffic light signal (traffic controller).

4.7. When approaching vehicles with a blue flashing light (blue and red) and a special sound signal on, pedestrians are required to refrain from crossing the road, and pedestrians on the roadway (tram tracks) must immediately vacate the roadway (tram tracks).

4.8. It is allowed to wait for a route vehicle and a taxi only on landing platforms raised above the roadway, and if there are none, on the sidewalk or side of the road. In stopping places for route vehicles that are not equipped with raised landing platforms, it is allowed to enter the roadway to board the vehicle only after it has stopped. After disembarking, it is necessary to clear the roadway without delay.
When moving across the roadway to or from the stopping point of a route vehicle, pedestrians must be guided by the requirements of paragraphs 4.4 - 4.7 of the Rules.

5. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Responsibilities of passengers

5.1. Passengers are obliged to:
- when traveling in a vehicle equipped with seat belts, be wearing them, and when riding a motorcycle, wear a fastened motorcycle helmet;
- boarding and disembarking should be done from the sidewalk or curb and only after the vehicle has completely stopped.

- distract the driver from driving the vehicle while it is moving;
- when traveling on a truck with a flatbed, stand, sit on the sides or on a load above the sides;
- open the doors of the vehicle while it is moving.

6. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Traffic lights and traffic controller signals

6.1. Traffic lights use green, yellow, red and white-lunar light signals.
Depending on the purpose, traffic light signals can be round, in the form of an arrow(s), a silhouette of a pedestrian or a bicycle, or X-shaped.
Traffic lights with round signals may have one or two additional sections with signals in the form of a green arrow(s), which are located at the level of the green round signal.

6.2. Round traffic lights have the following meanings:
- GREEN SIGNAL allows movement;
- A GREEN FLASHING SIGNAL allows movement and informs that its time is expiring and a prohibitory signal will soon be turned on (digital displays can be used to inform drivers about the time in seconds remaining until the end of the green signal);
- YELLOW SIGNAL prohibits movement, except as provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules, and warns of an upcoming change of signals;
- YELLOW FLASHING SIGNAL allows movement and informs about the presence of an unregulated intersection or pedestrian crossing, warns of danger;
- A RED SIGNAL, including a flashing one, prohibits movement.
- The combination of red and yellow signals prohibits movement and informs about the upcoming activation of the green signal.

6.3. Traffic light signals, made in the form of red, yellow and green arrows, have the same meaning as round signals of the corresponding color, but their effect extends only to the direction(s) indicated by the arrows. In this case, the arrow allowing a left turn also allows a U-turn, unless this is prohibited by the corresponding road sign.
The green arrow in the additional section has the same meaning. A switched off signal of an additional section or a switched on red light signal of its outline means that movement in the direction regulated by this section is prohibited.

6.4. If a black contour arrow(s) is applied to the main green traffic light signal, it informs drivers about the presence of an additional section of the traffic light and indicates other permitted directions of movement than the additional section signal.

6.5. If a traffic light signal is made in the form of a silhouette of a pedestrian and (or) a bicycle, then its effect applies only to pedestrians (cyclists). In this case, the green signal allows, and the red signal prohibits, the movement of pedestrians (cyclists).
To regulate the movement of cyclists, a traffic light with round signals of reduced size, complemented by a rectangular white plate measuring 200x200 mm with a picture of a black bicycle, can also be used.

6.6. To inform blind pedestrians about the possibility of crossing the roadway, traffic light signals can be supplemented with an audible signal.

6.7. To regulate the movement of vehicles along lanes of the roadway, in particular along those in which the direction of movement can change to the opposite, reversible traffic lights with a red X-shaped signal and a green signal in the form of an arrow pointing downwards are used. These signals respectively prohibit or allow movement in the lane above which they are located.
The main signals of a reversible traffic light can be supplemented by a yellow signal in the form of an arrow, tilted diagonally down to the right or left, the inclusion of which informs about the upcoming change of signal and the need to change lanes to which the arrow points.
When the signals of the reversing traffic light, which is located above the lane marked on both sides by markings 1.9, are turned off, entry into this lane is prohibited.

6.8. To regulate the movement of trams, as well as other route vehicles moving along the lane allocated for them, single-color traffic lights with four round white-moon colored signals located in the shape of the letter “T” can be used. Movement is permitted only when the lower signal and one or more upper ones are turned on simultaneously, of which the left one allows movement to the left, the middle one allows movement straight, and the right one allows movement to the right. If only the top three signals are on, then movement is prohibited.

6.9. A round white-lunar flashing signal located at a railroad crossing allows vehicles to move through the crossing. When the flashing white-lunar and red signals are turned off, movement is permitted if there is no train (locomotive, handcar) approaching the crossing within sight.

6.10. The traffic controller signals have the following meanings:
HANDS ARE EXTENDED TO THE SIDE OR LOWERED:
- from the left and right sides, the tram is allowed to move straight, trackless vehicles straight and to the right, pedestrians are allowed to cross the roadway;
- from the chest and back, the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited.


RIGHT ARMS EXTRACTED FORWARD:
- from the left side, the tram is allowed to move to the left, and trackless vehicles in all directions;
- from the chest side, all vehicles are allowed to move only to the right;
- the movement of all vehicles from the right side and back is prohibited;
- pedestrians are allowed to cross the road behind the traffic controller.


ARM RAISED UP:
- the movement of all vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited in all directions, except as provided for in paragraph 6.14 of the Rules.


The traffic controller can give hand gestures and other signals that are understandable to drivers and pedestrians.
For better visibility of signals, the traffic controller can use a rod or disk with a red signal (retroreflector).

6.11. A request to stop a vehicle is made using a loud-speaking device or a hand gesture directed at the vehicle. The driver must stop at the place indicated to him.

6.12. An additional whistle signal is given to attract the attention of traffic participants.

6.13. When there is a prohibiting signal from a traffic light (except a reversing one) or a traffic controller, drivers must stop in front of the stop line (sign 6.16 “Stop line”), and in its absence:

At an intersection - in front of the roadway being crossed (taking into account clause 13.7 of the Rules), without interfering with pedestrians;
- before a railway crossing - in accordance with clause 15.4 of the Rules;
- in other places - in front of a traffic light or traffic controller, without interfering with vehicles and pedestrians whose movement is permitted.

6.14. Drivers who, when the yellow signal turns on or the traffic controller raises his hand up, cannot stop without resorting to emergency braking in the places determined by paragraph 6.13 of the Rules, are allowed to continue driving.
Pedestrians who were on the roadway when the signal was given must clear it, and if this is not possible, stop on the line dividing traffic flows in opposite directions.

6.15. Drivers and pedestrians must comply with the signals and orders of the traffic controller, even if they contradict traffic light signals, road signs or markings.
If the meanings of traffic light signals contradict the requirements of priority road signs, drivers must be guided by the traffic light signals.

6.16. At railway crossings, simultaneously with the red flashing traffic light, an audible signal may be sounded, additionally informing traffic participants that movement through the crossing is prohibited.

7. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Use of alarm systems and warning triangles

7.1. The hazard warning lights must be turned on:

- when forced to stop in places where stopping is prohibited;
- when the driver is blinded by headlights;
- when towing (on a towed motor vehicle);
- when boarding and disembarking children from a vehicle that has identification marks “Transportation of Children.”

The driver must turn on the hazard warning lights in other cases to warn road users of the danger that the vehicle may pose.

7.2. When a vehicle stops and the hazard warning lights come on, as well as when they are malfunctioning or missing, an emergency stop sign must be immediately displayed:
- in case of a traffic accident;
- when forced to stop in places where it is prohibited, and where, taking into account visibility conditions, the vehicle cannot be noticed in a timely manner by other drivers.
This sign is installed at a distance that provides timely warning to other drivers of the danger in a particular situation. However, this distance must be at least 15 m from the vehicle in populated areas and 30 m outside populated areas.

7.3. If there is no or faulty hazard warning light on a towed motor vehicle, a warning triangle must be attached to its rear part.

8. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Starting movement, maneuvering

8.1. Before starting to move, change lanes, turn (U-turn) and stop, the driver is required to give signals with light direction indicators in the appropriate direction, and if they are missing or faulty - with his hand. When performing a maneuver, there should be no danger to traffic or interference with other road users.

The signal for a left turn (turn) corresponds to the left arm extended to the side or the right arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upward.

The right turn signal corresponds to the right arm extended to the side or the left arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upward.

The brake signal is given by raising your left or right hand.

8.2. The turn signal or hand signal must be given well in advance of the maneuver and cease immediately after completion (the hand signal may be terminated immediately before the maneuver). In this case, the signal should not mislead other road users.
Signaling does not give the driver an advantage or relieve him from taking precautions.

8.3. When entering the road from the adjacent territory, the driver must give way to vehicles and pedestrians moving along it, and when leaving the road - to pedestrians and cyclists whose movement path he crosses.

8.4. When changing lanes, the driver must give way to vehicles moving in the same direction without changing direction. When simultaneously changing lanes of vehicles moving in the same direction, the driver must give way to the vehicle on the right.

8.5. Before turning right, left or making a U-turn, the driver is obliged to take in advance the appropriate extreme position on the roadway intended for traffic in this direction, except in cases where a turn is made when entering an intersection where a roundabout is organized.
If there are tram tracks in the same direction on the left, located at the same level as the roadway, a left turn and a U-turn must be made from them, unless signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 or markings 1.18 prescribe a different movement order. In this case, there should be no interference with the tram.

8.6. The turn must be carried out in such a way that when leaving the intersection of roadways the vehicle does not end up on the side of oncoming traffic.
When turning right, the vehicle should move as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway.

8.7. If a vehicle, due to its size or for other reasons, cannot make a turn in compliance with the requirements of paragraph 8.5 of the Rules, it is allowed to retreat from them provided that traffic safety is ensured and if this does not interfere with other vehicles.

8.8. When turning left or making a U-turn outside an intersection, the driver of a trackless vehicle must give way to oncoming vehicles and a tram in the same direction.
If, when turning outside an intersection, the width of the roadway is not sufficient to perform the maneuver from the extreme left position, it is allowed to be made from the right edge of the roadway (from the right shoulder). In this case, the driver must give way to passing and oncoming vehicles.

8.9. In cases where the trajectories of vehicles intersect, and the order of passage is not specified by the Rules, the driver to whom the vehicle is approaching from the right must give way.

8.10. If there is a braking lane, the driver intending to turn must change lanes in a timely manner and reduce speed only in this lane.
If there is an acceleration lane at the entrance to the road, the driver must move along it and change lanes into the adjacent lane, giving way to vehicles moving along this road.

8.11. U-turn is prohibited:
- at pedestrian crossings;
- in tunnels;
- on bridges, overpasses, overpasses and under them;
- at railway crossings;
- in places with visibility of the road in at least one direction less than 100 m;
- in places where route vehicles stop.

8.12. Reversing a vehicle is permitted provided that this maneuver is safe and does not interfere with other road users. If necessary, the driver must seek the help of others.
Reversing is prohibited at intersections and in places where turning around is prohibited in accordance with paragraph 8.11 of the Rules.

9. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Location of vehicles on the roadway

9.1. The number of lanes for trackless vehicles is determined by markings and (or) signs 5.15.1, 5.15.2, 5.15.7, 5.15.8, and if there are none, then by the drivers themselves, taking into account the width of the roadway, vehicle dimensions and required intervals between them.

In this case, the side intended for oncoming traffic on two-way roads without a dividing strip is considered to be half the width of the roadway located on the left, not counting local widenings of the roadway (transition and express lanes, additional lanes on the rise, drive-in pockets of stops for route vehicles ).

9.1.1. On any two-way roads, driving in the lane intended for oncoming traffic is prohibited if it is separated by tram tracks, a dividing strip, markings 1.1, 1.3 or markings 1.11, the broken line of which is located on the left.

1.3


1.11


9.2. On dual carriageway roads with four or more lanes, it is prohibited to overtake or pass into the lane intended for oncoming traffic. On such roads, left turns or U-turns may be made at intersections and in other places where this is not prohibited by the Rules, signs and (or) markings.

9.3. On two-way roads that have three lanes marked with markings (except for marking 1.9), of which the middle one is used for traffic in both directions, it is allowed to enter this lane only for overtaking, bypassing, turning left or making a U-turn. It is prohibited to enter the leftmost lane intended for oncoming traffic.


9.4. Outside populated areas, as well as in populated areas on roads marked with 5.1 “Highway” or 5.3 “Road for Motor Vehicles” or where driving at a speed of more than 80 km/h is permitted, vehicle drivers must drive them as close as possible to the right edge of the roadway parts. It is prohibited to occupy the left lanes when the right lanes are free.

In populated areas, taking into account the requirements of this paragraph and paragraphs 9.5, 16.1 and 24.2 of the Rules, vehicle drivers can use the lane that is most convenient for them. In heavy traffic, when all lanes are occupied, changing lanes is only allowed to turn left or right, make a U-turn, stop, or avoid an obstacle.
However, on any roads that have three or more lanes for traffic in a given direction, the leftmost lane is allowed to occupy only in heavy traffic, when other lanes are occupied, as well as for turning left or making a U-turn, and for trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 2.5 t - only for turning left or making a U-turn. Entering the left lane of one-way roads to stop and park is carried out in accordance with paragraph 12.1 of the Rules.

9.5. Vehicles whose speed should not exceed 40 km/h or which for technical reasons cannot reach such a speed must move in the extreme right lane, except in cases of detour, overtaking or changing lanes before turning left, making a U-turn or stopping in permitted cases on the left side of the road.

9.6. It is allowed to travel on tram tracks in the same direction, located on the left at the same level as the roadway, when all lanes in this direction are occupied, as well as when making a detour, turning left or making a U-turn, taking into account clause 8.5 of the Rules. In this case, there should be no interference with the tram. It is prohibited to drive onto tram tracks in the opposite direction. If road signs 5.15.1 or 5.15.2 are installed in front of the intersection, driving on tram tracks through the intersection is prohibited.

9.7. If the roadway is divided into stripes by marking lines, the movement of vehicles must be carried out strictly along the designated lanes. It is allowed to drive over broken marking lines only when changing lanes.

9.8. When turning onto a road with reverse traffic, the driver must drive the vehicle in such a way that when leaving the intersection of roadways, the vehicle takes the far right lane. Changing lanes is permitted only after the driver is convinced that traffic in this direction is also permitted in other lanes.

9.9. The movement of vehicles on dividing strips and shoulders, sidewalks and pedestrian paths is prohibited (except for the cases provided for in paragraphs 12.1, 24.2 - 24.4, 24.7, 25.2 of the Rules), as well as the movement of motorized vehicles (except mopeds) along the lanes for cyclists. The movement of motor vehicles on bicycle and bicycle-pedestrian paths is prohibited. The movement of vehicles of road maintenance and utility services is allowed, as well as access along the shortest route for vehicles delivering cargo to trade and other enterprises and facilities located directly next to the roadsides, sidewalks or pedestrian paths, in the absence of other access options. At the same time, traffic safety must be ensured.

9.10. The driver must maintain such a distance from the vehicle in front that would allow him to avoid a collision, as well as the necessary lateral interval to ensure traffic safety.

9.11. Outside populated areas on dual carriageway roads with two lanes, the driver of a vehicle for which a speed limit has been established, as well as the driver of a vehicle (vehicle combination) longer than 7 m, must maintain such a distance between himself and the vehicle moving ahead that overtaking vehicles could move into the lane they previously occupied without interference. This requirement does not apply when driving on sections of roads where overtaking is prohibited, as well as during heavy traffic and movement in an organized transport convoy.

9.12. On two-way roads, in the absence of a dividing strip, traffic islands, bollards and elements of road structures (supports of bridges, overpasses, etc.) located in the middle of the roadway, the driver must drive around on the right, unless signs and markings indicate otherwise.

10. Traffic rules of the Russian Federation - Driving speed

10.1. The driver must drive the vehicle at a speed not exceeding the established limit, taking into account the intensity of traffic, the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo, road and meteorological conditions, in particular visibility in the direction of travel.
