To be sure, many of the motorists at least once hit the curb and drove on the sidewalk, despite the fact that the pedestrian zone is not a roadway. The fine for driving on the pedestrian track is 2,000 rubles, and parking – from 1,000 to 3,000 “wooden”. Meanwhile, the traffic rules allow such maneuvers. With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
The traffic rules allow driving and parking on the sidewalk under certain conditions. For example, if it is necessary to unload heavy luggage from the cargo area of a car, but it is simply not possible to drive to the entrance, warehouse or store, bypassing the pedestrian zone or bike path. In other words, load and unload your car directly at the curb, if there is no other option to drive closer to the entrance of the building.
True, as usual, it was not without reservations. According to Article 9.9 of the SDA, the car must “ensure road safety”. Simply put, do not obstruct other vehicles or the free movement of pedestrians, cyclists and other scooters.
Certain sections of the road include quite official signs permitting curbside parking. We are talking about sign 6.4 and are signs with numbers from 8.6.2 to 8.6.9, indicating a parking space on the sidewalk. As a rule, its action extends to the nearest intersection, or to a distance of 400 to 800 meters from the parking lot.
Another thing is that in megacities such zones are often accompanied by paid parking, which, however, will still be cheaper than a fine for hitting a sidewalk where it is prohibited. Unless you brake again on a curb to clear the trunk of a heavy load.
By the way, did you know that any “horseless” passing can cause incredible problems for the driver in the blink of an eye? And we’re not just talking about complaints and calling the traffic police. Pedestrians know how to arrange a car owner in such a way that it does not seem small: more about this here.
