Assistant Prosecutor N.V. Pryazhenkova At the court hearing, the claims were supported in full.

The representative of the defendant appeared in court and did not admit the claims regarding the installation of road signs on a special edge, explaining that the signs at the specified intersection were installed, and the installation of signs on a special edge is not provided for by law and is not mandatory. She presented objections to the statement of claim, according to which the defendant does not recognize the claims regarding the design of the sign with a fluorescent edging made from the front surface with a reflective film of yellow (yellow-green) color, and also asks to increase the period for the restoration of road signs 5.19, giving three months, after entry into force of the court decision (case sheets 12-14).

The representative of the third party - the Committee for Transport and Transit Policy of St. Petersburg did not appear in court, was duly notified of the place and time of the court hearing, and did not present any objections to the claim.

The representative of the third party - the Office of the State Road Safety Inspectorate of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation for St. Petersburg did not appear in court, was duly notified of the place and time of the court hearing, and did not present any objections to the claim.

The court, having listened to the participants in the process and studied the case materials, finds the claims to be partially satisfied.

In accordance with Art. 1 of the Federal Law dated DD.MM.YYYY No. 196-FZ “On Road Safety” (hereinafter referred to as the Law), the objectives of the Federal Law are: protecting the life, health and property of citizens, protecting their rights and legitimate interests, as well as protecting the interests of society and the state by preventing road accidents and reducing the severity of their consequences.

In accordance with Art. Art. 2.3 of this Law, one of the basic principles of ensuring road safety is the priority of the life and health of road users, including pedestrians.

Article 21 of this Law provides that measures to organize road traffic are carried out in order to increase traffic safety and road capacity by federal executive authorities, executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local government bodies, legal entities and individuals in charge of highways. The development and implementation of these activities are carried out in accordance with the regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation and the regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on the basis of projects, diagrams and other documentation approved in the prescribed manner.

According to Art. 3 of the Federal Law dated DD.MM.YYYY No. 257-FZ “On highways and road activities in the Russian Federation”, road activities are activities for the design, construction, reconstruction, overhaul, repair and maintenance of highways”, this activity must carried out in accordance with the requirements of technical regulations in order to maintain uninterrupted movement of vehicles on roads and safe conditions for such movement.

By order of the Governor of St. Petersburg dated DD.MM.YYYY No.-r “On the creation of the state institution “Directorate for Traffic Management”, in order to improve the traffic management system, as well as, in accordance with clause 2.1 of the Charter, approved by the Order of the Committee on management of city property from DD.MM.YYYY No. rz, in order to increase the efficiency of the functioning of the city’s transport system, regarding the organization of traffic of all types of land transport (including freight), traffic flow management, the Institution organizes a comprehensive, coordination of work on research, development, design, construction, reconstruction, repair and operation of traffic management facilities.

From the case materials it appears that DD.MM.YYYY chief state road safety inspector I.N. Vishnevsky approached the defendant with a proposal to install road signs 5.19 (pedestrian crossing) in all directions for pedestrian traffic at the specified intersection (ld 8 turn).

DD.MM.YYYY First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Transport and Transit Policy of St. Petersburg sent a letter to the Chief of Police of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg A.I. Zelenkov. that the documentation for conducting competitive procedures for the installation of road signs 5.19 at the specified intersection, the deadline for completing the work is the 4th quarter of 2012 (case sheet 7).

DD.MM.YYYY The St. Petersburg prosecutor's office received an appeal from the deputy head of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the St. Petersburg Ministry of Internal Affairs A.G. Prahova that there are no road signs 5.19.1, 5.19.2 at the indicated intersection, which in case of emergency shutdown of the traffic light will lead to a real threat to the safety of pedestrians (case file 6).

The representative of the defendant presented the response of the head of the maintenance department of TSODD Yu.O. Stelmashchuk that the road sign 5.19 “pedestrian crossing” at the specified intersection will be restored to DD.MM.YYYY, the use of road signs 5.19 with yellow reflective edging and the replacement of existing road signs 5.19, made in accordance with GOST 52290-2004 for signs 5.19 with yellow reflective edging, is not a mandatory measure and is not specified in regulatory documentation, in addition, in accordance with Art. DD.MM.YYYY GOST R52289-2004 signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 “pedestrian crossing” are used to designate places allocated for pedestrians to cross the road; such signs may not be installed at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections (l. d. 14).

According to clause 4.1.1. "GOST R 50597-93. State standard of the Russian Federation. Highways and streets. Requirements for the operational condition acceptable under the conditions of ensuring road safety”, approved by the Resolution of the State Standard of Russia dated DD.MM.YYYY No. highways, as well as streets and roads of cities and other populated areas must be equipped with road signs made in accordance with GOST 10807 and placed according to GOST 23457 in accordance with the duly approved deployment.

According to clause DD.MM.YYYY “GOST R 52289-2004. National standard of the Russian Federation. Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guiding devices" (hereinafter GOST R 52289-2004) signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 "Pedestrian crossing" are used to designate places allocated for pedestrians to cross the road. Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway. If there is no marking 1.14 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, sign 5.19.2 - on the far border. The width of an unmarked pedestrian crossing between signs is determined by DD.MM.YYYY. Signs at a marked pedestrian crossing are installed at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the crossing. Sign 5.19.2 may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.19.1. It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections.

Clause 5.2 “GOST R 52290-2004. National standard of the Russian Federation. Technical means of organizing traffic. Road signs. General technical requirements”, which establishes requirements for the design of road signs, indeed stipulates that signs are made using reflective materials, with internal lighting, and external lighting. Elements of the image in black and gray colors of signs should not have a retroreflective effect.

However, according to paragraph DD.MM.YYYY GOST R 52289-2004, signs made using reflective film type B or C are used on roads in populated areas with a number of lanes of six or more, as well as on highways and sections of roads outside populated areas with a number of lanes four or more, it has been established that such signs are preferably used on curves in plan with a radius less than permissible, at intersections with railways at the same level, intersections and junctions of roads at the same level, areas with visibility distances in plan (profile) less than the minimum values ​​( table 3), on bridge structures with a carriageway width equal to or less than the width of the carriageway, and in places where road work is being carried out. Signs made using type B reflective film are preferably used on roads with artificial lighting outside populated areas and on roads in populated areas with six or more lanes. Signs located above or to the side of the roadway at a height of more than 3 m should preferably be made using type B reflective film.

At the court hearing, representatives of the parties did not deny that the specified road crossing is equipped with traffic lights, road markings are applied to it, thus the court finds no grounds for satisfying the prosecutor’s demands in terms of ensuring the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian transition) with a fluorescent edging made from the front surface with a reflective film of yellow (yellow-green) color, since the installation of this kind of signs with film is not mandatory, and is installed in difficult road conditions. The court was not presented with evidence of difficult road conditions on this section of the road.

Based on the foregoing, the court considers it possible to satisfy the prosecutor’s demands regarding the defendant’s obligation to ensure the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian crossing) at the intersection, within the time period proposed by the prosecutor.

DECIDED:

Claims in defense of an indefinite number of persons against the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for Traffic Management” for the obligation to carry out certain actions were partially satisfied.

Oblige the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for Traffic Management” to ensure the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian crossing) at the intersection, within 15 days from the date the court decision enters into legal force .

To collect from the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for the Organization of Road Traffic” a state duty in the amount of 200 (two hundred) rubles to the budget of St. Petersburg.

The rest of the claim is denied.

The decision can be appealed on appeal through the Nevsky District Court of St. Petersburg to the St. Petersburg City Court within one month from the date of issuance.

Judge: O.V. Orlova

Court:

Plaintiffs:

Signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 "Crosswalk" used to designate places designated for pedestrians to cross the road. Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway.

If there is no marking 1.14 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, sign 5.19.2 - on the far border. The width of an unmarked pedestrian crossing between signs is determined according to 6.2.17. Signs at a marked pedestrian crossing are installed at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the crossing. Sign 5.19.2 may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.19.1. It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections. At uncontrolled intersections at marked pedestrian crossings, provided that the border of the crossing closest to the center of the intersection coincides with the edge of the roadway, signs may be installed only on the far border of the crossing.

The signs are made of galvanized metal 0.8-1 mm thick, with double flanging, which provides additional rigidity to the sign body. Each sign has two attachment points in the form of “tongues”. The fastening elements are attached to the body using the puckering method, which does not distort the image of the sign and provides much higher reliability than spot welding or riveting.

Hello, dear readers! Today we’ll dwell a little on temporary road signs and their differences from road signs that are placed on a yellow background ( shields).

We all know from the Traffic Rules that permanent road signs have a basic white background.

In the picture, stationary (permanent) road signs are installed.

Road signs made on a yellow background are temporary and are used in areas where road work is being carried out.

The yellow background on signs 1.8, 1.15, 1.16, 1.18 - 1.21, 1.33, 2.6, 3.11 - 3.16, 3.18.1 - 3.25 installed in road work areas means that these signs are temporary.

In cases where the meanings of temporary road signs and permanent road signs contradict each other, drivers must be guided by the temporary signs.

Pictured are temporary road signs.

From the definition above, it is important to highlight that if permanent and temporary signs contradict each other, it is necessary to be guided by temporary signs.

To avoid any contradictions, the national standard stipulates that when temporary signs are used during road work, stationary signs of the same group should be covered with covers or dismantled.

GOST R 52289-2004. Technical means of organizing traffic.

5.1.18 Road signs 1.8, 1.15, 1.16, 1.18-1.21, 1.33, 2.6, 3.11-3.16, 3.18.1-3.25, made on a yellow background, are used in areas where road work is being carried out. In this case, signs 1.8, 1.15, 1.16, 1.18-1.21, 1.33, 2.6, 3.11-3.16, 3.18.1-3.25, made on a white background, are covered with covers or dismantled.

Warning signs outside populated areas are installed at a distance of 150 - 300 m, in populated areas - at a distance of 50 - 100 m before the start of the dangerous section or another distance indicated on plate 8.1.1. Here, it is important to note that road sign 1.25 “Road works” is installed with some differences from the usual installation of warning signs.

Sign 1.25 when carrying out short-term work on the roadway can be installed without sign 8.1.1 at a distance of 10 - 15 m from the work site.

Outside populated areas, signs 1.1, 1.2, 1.9, 1.10, 1.23 and 1.25 are repeated. The second sign is installed at a distance of at least 50 m before the start of the dangerous section. Signs 1.23 and 1.25 are also repeated in populated areas immediately at the beginning of the dangerous section.

In accordance with GOST R 52289-2004, at work sites, signs can be installed on portable supports.

5.1.12 In places where work is being carried out on the road and during temporary operational changes in the organization of traffic, signs on portable supports may be installed on the roadway, roadsides and dividing strip.

Pictured are temporary road signs on a portable stand.

And the last requirement, which is often forgotten, is that after the completion of road work, technical means of organizing traffic ( road sign, marking, traffic light, road fence and guide device) must be dismantled.

4.5 Technical means of traffic management, the use of which was caused by temporary reasons (road repair work, seasonal road conditions, etc.), must be dismantled after eliminating these reasons. Signs and traffic lights may be covered with covers.

With the release of a new order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated August 23, 2017 No. 664, the requirement to prohibit the use of means of automatically recording violations in places where traffic restrictions are established by temporary road signs has disappeared.

At the end of the review, about the signs placed on yellow ( yellow-green) background ( shields). It turns out that with signs installed on yellow-green boards, confusion sometimes arises, even among experienced drivers.

In the photo, the permanent sign is placed on a yellow (yellow-green) shield.

Some road users are sure that the signs on yellow billboards are also temporary. In fact, in accordance with GOST R 52289-2004, permanent signs are placed on billboards with yellow-green reflective fluorescent film in order to prevent accidents and attract the attention of drivers.

5.1.17 ...On boards with yellow-green reflective fluorescent film, signs 1.22, 1.23, 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are used. It is permissible to use other signs on such boards in places where traffic accidents are concentrated and to prevent their occurrence in dangerous areas.

In the picture, road signs 1.23 “Children”, on the left is a standard sign, on the right is placed on a yellow background (shield). The sign on a yellow background attracts more attention.

In the picture, signs 1.23 “Children”, “thank you” to those responsible for installing the signs for leaving the previous sign for comparison.

Signs placed on billboards with reflective fluorescent film ( at pedestrian crossings, in places of children's institutions, etc.) are more noticeable both in the light and in the dark and attract the attention of drivers, which is an effective means of preventing accidents ( Road traffic accident).

In the picture, the visibility of road signs “Pedestrian crossing” in the dark, close and at a distance.

Everyone, have a safe trip!

I decided to ask how things were going. In a written reply they sent me an answer to another question. I had to call the contractor to find out.
It turned out that today the traffic police have prepared a proposal, and now RosDorNII has taken the baton. There is currently a public discussion of Amendment No. 3 of GOST R 52289-2004, until May 10, 2013. I was given this project.

In this post I will talk about innovations regarding pedestrian crossings. In the next one I will describe the remaining changes.

The new wording covers many different cases, not just tram tracks. A fairly general and simple rule.

There are 2 changes regarding signs 5.19.1/5.19.2. In regular font I write the text that was, bold- which is introduced in Amendment No. 3.

Change in clause 5.1.6 On roads with two or more lanes in a given direction, signs 1.1, 1.2, 1.20.1-1.20.3, 1.25, 2.4, 2.5, 3.24 installed to the right of the roadway are duplicated.
Duplicate signs are installed on the dividing strip.
On roads without a dividing strip, duplicate signs are installed:
- to the left of the roadway in cases where oncoming traffic is carried out in one or two lanes;
- over the roadway in cases where oncoming traffic is carried out in three or more lanes.
If necessary, it is allowed to duplicate other signs in the same way.
On roads with one lane for traffic in each direction, signs 3.20 and 3.22 are duplicated, on roads with three lanes for traffic in both directions - sign 5.15.6. Signs are installed to the left of the roadway.(I will describe this in the second post)
On two-way roads with two or more lanes for traffic in a given direction, as well as on one-way roads with three or more lanes, sign 5.19.1 is duplicated above the roadway.

It will look something like this:

The same formulation applied to a road with tram tracks in the middle will give almost the following picture (only not above the left lane, but it is not clear how):

Change in clause 5.6.24 Signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 “Pedestrian crossing” are used to designate places designated for pedestrians to cross the road.
Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway.
If there is no marking 1.14 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, sign 5.19.2 - on the far border. The width of an unmarked pedestrian crossing between signs is determined according to 6.2.17.
Signs at a marked pedestrian crossing are installed at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the crossing.
Sign 5.19.2 may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.19.1.
It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections.
On roads with a dividing strip (lanes) up to 3 m wide, it is allowed not to install sign 5.19.1 on the dividing strip. In this case, instead of sign 5.19.1, signs 5.19.2 are installed on one support at the intersection of the axes of the dividing strip and the pedestrian crossing
On unregulated at intersections at marked pedestrian crossings, provided that the border of the crossing closest to the center of the intersection coincides with the edge of the roadway, signs may be installed only on the far border of the crossing.

The crossed out paragraph is interesting. Previously, at intersections with traffic lights, if there was a zebra crossing, it was possible not to install “Pedestrian crossing” signs. Now - be sure to always put up signs!
In order not to block 4 signs on 2 supports, we decided to make 1 support in the middle of the crossing, and place only signs 5.19.2. A normal solution, I think.
