If you think that roadside officers can only fine a driver on the roadway, then you are wrong. Traffic cops are not averse to catching motorists, even in the yard of their own house. In addition, they have several reasons for punishing drivers with a ruble. With details – the portal “AvtoVzglyad”.
To begin with, perhaps let’s see what the “Residential zone” road sign means, because not all traffic rules that characterize the roadway in the area are interpreted equally. Thus, entering and leaving such areas is indicated by signs 5.21 and 5.22, while the concept of “yard” as such is not in the Rules. But on the other hand, the requirements of the sign are precisely described, the effect of which is particularly applicable to these yards. Not only is the pedestrian in charge here, he has a direct advantage over cars, including the road within the residential area, it is also strictly forbidden to drive through.
In other words, the through traffic of vehicles is unacceptable in the yard, and if the traffic police inspectors see that the driver decided to “jump” the traffic jam in such a simple way, then they will have to pay. According to Art. 12.28 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the fine for such an offense is 1,500 rubles, and in Moscow and St. Petersburg – all three thousand. Traffic cops often park on sections of road where such maneuvers are practiced by car owners in a service car with a DVR set to the “correct angle”. However, the residents of the houses themselves often call the patrol, tired of the endless flow of traffic around.
However, this is not the only case where law enforcement can fine the pilot at the yard. For example, warming up his “Swallow” at his own entrance, the driver also risks parting with 1,500 rubles or three thousand if the engine is thirsty near the capital or St. Petersburg. A similar fine threatens owners of cars weighing more than 3.5 tons.
In addition, you can get a ruble penalty if you use an audible signal in a car unnecessarily. For example, if you press the horn and remind your beloved woman that you are already quite tired of waiting for her at the front door. The penalty for permanent beeps is 500 rubles. And the driver is responsible for driving past the house if the speed of the car exceeds 20 km/h. Fact: the law does not allow you to move faster in a residential area. The fine for daring trips in the yard is 1500 “wooden”, or 3000 rubles – again, if we talk about Moscow and St. Petersburg.
But perhaps the most dangerous thing for a driver in his own yard is drinking alcohol in his car. Even if a booze enthusiast has no intention of going anywhere, it’s going to be pretty hard (read – impossible) to explain this to law enforcement. And the penalty for drinking alcohol while driving is very severe – a fine of 30,000 rubles and deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 1.5 to 2 years. Therefore, away from sin, it is better to go to the apartment and have a feast at the table.
