Fines and eviction: taxi drivers are no longer allowed to park on yards

The indignation of residents of cities, where taxi drivers sometimes spontaneously park in the yards of apartment buildings, can be heard from the authorities. Boris Chernyshov, deputy chairman of the State Duma, paid special attention to the problem.

The deputy sent a request with a corresponding initiative to the head of the Russian traffic police, Lieutenant General of the Police Mikhail Chernikov.

“I ask you to consider the possibility of amending the traffic rules and prohibiting parking and taxi parking in a residential area for longer than 30 minutes. This time is sufficient to wait or disembark passengers, including those with reduced mobility or bulky luggage, to resolve individual problems of a taxi driver if he is in a residential area on personal business, Chernyshov said in a message to Chernikov.

The letter also states that the Deputy Speaker of the State Duma is ready to make amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses in relation to violators of the proposed ban. According to him, they must face heavy fines and the evacuation of cars to a car impoundment.

At the same time, Chernyshov suggested that the Ministry of Transport of Russia make it a condition for issuing a light passenger transport license to have a private or rented parking space for the entire taxi fleet. Such a requirement will have to be met by private entrepreneurs with a single car as well as companies that own hundreds of taxis, reports RIA Novosti.
