5 situations in which you can drive along the side of the road with impunity

A verge is a part of the road adjacent to the carriageway and generally being level with it, while it is marked by a marking line, or differs in coverage or absence. The fine for driving on the side of the road is 1500 rubles. However, there are situations where it is not penalized.
It turns out that not every time you can get a “letter of happiness”, regulated by Art. 12.15 of the Administrative Code. For example, when a solid white or yellow marking line separating the roadway from the curb on the asphalt has lost its original appearance. In other words, it was erased, expanding the roadway across the entire width of the coating.
The newly laid asphalt, for which the road builders simply did not have time to apply markings, will also save a fine. How can the driver know that there was once or soon will be a shoulder separated from the roadway?
Another unpunished exit to the side of the road may be in the event that an accident occurred further up the road, “thanks” to which the roadway was completely or partially blocked. Simply put, the drivers had no choice but to go around the obstacle to the right of the road. A similar situation is possible in a situation with a stuck or broken car in front.
Finally, in snowfall or after, when the canvas is completely covered with a mass of snow, making it impossible for the driver to determine where the marking actually ends, or even the edge of the road. In this case, it would be not only inappropriate, but even blasphemous, to issue a fine for driving on an invisible verge.
By the way, do you know why they started to put tall, thin posts along many roads? Then you are here.
