Traffic rules unregulated pedestrian crossing. SDA - pedestrian crossing and car driver

Sooner or later, any driver becomes a pedestrian, therefore. One of the most difficult questions for pedestrians: "Where and how to cross the road?". All places where a pedestrian is allowed to cross the road are fixed in the Rules traffic.

How to cross a pedestrian crossing

Easier and more convenient way to cross the road across the pedestrian crossing. Pedestrian crossings are regulated and unregulated. Regulated ones have a pedestrian traffic light, respectively, you can only cross the road at a green traffic light. In addition, traffic at a pedestrian crossing can be regulated by a traffic police officer. In this case, you need to wait for the permission signal of the traffic controller. At unregulated pedestrian crossings, according to the traffic rules, a pedestrian can go to carriageway, having previously estimated the distance to the approaching vehicle and making sure that their movements are safe. Of course, in theory, the driver is obliged to give way to a pedestrian crossing the road on unregulated transition, but . Therefore, before crossing the street on a zebra, you must first make sure that there are cars. There are also overground and underground pedestrian crossings, but you are unlikely to face a car on them, so you don’t need to talk about the rules for crossing them!

What to do if there is no pedestrian crossing

If there are no crossings, the pedestrian may also cross the road at the crossroads- along sidewalks or roadsides. If the intersection is unregulated, you should cross the road very carefully so as not to fall under the wheels. If there are no crossings or intersections on the road, you, according to the Rules of the Road, can cross the road at a right angle in a well-visible area. At the same time, it is impossible to cross the dividing strips and fences.

Fine for a pedestrian

Please note that there is also a fine for pedestrians: you will have to pay for crossing the road in the wrong place or at a red light 500 rubles. If at the same time there were still obstacles to vehicles, then the fine for crossing in the wrong place will increase to 1 000 rubles. However, traffic police inspectors usually do not monitor this violation, preferring to take fines from drivers. Skip the pedestrian
In Britain, a pedestrian's grave bears the inscription "He was right."
First, I will give excerpts from the traffic rules:
14.1 The driver of a vehicle approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing is obliged to slow down or stop before the crossing in order to let pass pedestrians crossing the carriageway or entering it to make the crossing.
13.1 When turning right or left, the driver must give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway onto which he is turning ...
1.2 "Give way (do not obstruct)" - a requirement meaning that a road user must not start, resume or continue moving, perform any maneuver, if this may force other road users who have an advantage in relation to him to change direction of travel or speed.
"Road" - ... includes sidewalks ...
10.1 The speed must provide the driver with the possibility of constant control over the movement of the vehicle in order to comply with the requirements of the Rules.
4.5 ... At unregulated pedestrian crossings, pedestrians may enter the carriageway after estimating the distance to approaching pedestrians. Vehicle, their speed and make sure the transition is safe for them.
Based on the systematic interpretation of the old version of clause 14.1 and clauses 14.5, 14.6 and 14.7, the concept of “letting pass” a pedestrian imposes a more severe restriction on movement than the concept of “give way”. It was deciphered by V. Kuzin in the comments " Russian newspaper"- Week No. 5193 (114) dated 05/27/10: "The driver, seeing a pedestrian on the zebra, instead of slowing down, thought about how he should give way. Now clear recommendations are given in the main driver's document: slow down or stop. For example, on the opposite side of the road, a person crossed a zebra, the driver will slow down, assess the distance and understand whether he needs to stop or not. Will the pedestrian have time to reach this side of the street or you can drive safely. "
That. when it comes to “give way”, the speed may not be slowed down; when it comes to “give way”, slowing down or stopping is mandatory.
Now the conclusions:
1. A pedestrian who walks along the sidewalk walks along the road - clause 1.2 of the SDA. If at an unregulated pedestrian crossing he has to cross the border of the sidewalk and the carriageway, he has the right not to change the direction and speed of movement, and you are obliged to let him pass or give way - clauses 14.1, 13.1, 1.2 of the SDA.
2. If the pedestrian has not crossed the border of the carriageway, then there is no offense on your part - clauses 13.1, 14.1 of the SDA.
3. To pass a pedestrian who is about to cross the border of the carriageway and the sidewalk, you must slow down in advance - clause 10.1 of the SDA, because. "Traffic hazard" occurs. But for violation of this paragraph, they can be punished only if it is proved that the speed limit has been exceeded. The inspector says that because of you the pedestrian slowed down on the sidewalk? Answer that by traffic rules duty he did not miss it, and there is no offense - clauses 13.1, 14.1 of the SDA.
4. If a pedestrian is standing on the sidewalk, then you are not required to take any action under paragraph 10.1, nor under paragraph 13.1 and 14.1 of the SDA.
5. In the event of a "danger to traffic", i.e. in the event of a threat of an accident, the driver can apply sound signal. If the pedestrian is actively moving towards the crossing, but you don't want to slow down, signal - everything is within the limits of the Rules.
6. If a pedestrian entered the carriageway when you were passing by, then from his point of view the crossing is safe - clause 4.5 of the SDA.
7. If a pedestrian entered the roadway, and the inspector declares that you did not let him through, then traffic violation mutual - both you (clause 13.1, 14.1 of the SDA) and the pedestrian (clause 4.5 of the traffic rules) violated the Rules.
8. If the pedestrian did not change either direction or speed when crossing the carriageway to which you turned, then in the absence of a pedestrian crossing, you gave way to him - clause 13.1 and clause 1.2 of the SDA.
9. When a pedestrian appears at an unregulated pedestrian crossing, you must slow down or stop. This rule is very reasonable, because in order to reduce speed, you must at least take your foot off the gas pedal. Those. the distance traveled by the car during the reaction time of the driver is artificially excluded from the stopping distance. There remains a bare braking distance (brake response time + movement with steady deceleration).
In the above comment by V. Kuzin, it is said that the driver should slow down, and, having estimated the distance to the pedestrian, continue moving if he does not "have time to run to this side of the street." Because de facto, we have a presumption of guilt of the driver, then he needs to prove that he "missed" the pedestrian in a similar situation. The speed of a very fast walking pedestrian is known from school textbooks in physics - 5 km / h or 1.4 m / s. In 2.5 seconds, a pedestrian will walk 3.5 meters - the width of one lane. That is, if there was a whole lane between the pedestrian and the car at the moment of passing the crossing, the pedestrian had a driving range of at least 2.5 s. This criterion should be followed.
If there is no marking, then proceed from the width of your car. For example, the width of the VAZ-2110 without mirrors is 1.7 m. The width of two cars is ~ 3.4 m. about the width of one lane. If there are two widths of your car in the photo or video at the moment of passing the crossing between a pedestrian and a car, then minimum stock the pedestrian has the same 2.5 s, and you missed the pedestrian.
That. I recommend that on two-lane roads, when a pedestrian appears on the roadway, both on the right and on the left, stop and wait until the pedestrian will pass first. On four-lane roads, when a pedestrian appears on the carriageway on the right, the driver should do the same. If there is a pedestrian on the left, the driver must always slow down. If there is more than one lane between the driver and the pedestrian at the time of passing the crossing, then you can continue driving. Less than stop.
I remind you that the dividing strip (and the tram tracks on it), marked out constructively or with the help of continuous marking 1.2.1, is a separate element of the road that does not belong to the carriageway. Those. its boundaries are the boundaries of carriageways. If a pedestrian appears on the left side of the median, there is no need to stop.
If the tram tracks are on the same level as carriageway and are not marked with marking 1.2.1, then there is no unambiguous opinion whether the road has two carriageways or one. A pedestrian who crosses such tram tracks must be allowed to pass. If the inspector stops you for not allowing you to pass, open Article 1.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, and show that all doubts should be interpreted in your favor - let them first write clear rules on whether tram tracks are an element of the roadway, and only then let them punish.
The border between the tram lines and the carriageway is very conditional.
If you are driving in the extreme right lane and you have the slightest doubt that a pedestrian on the nearest sidewalk will have time to cross the border of the carriageway, slow down or stop to let him pass. Be extremely careful with a pedestrian who stands on the edge of the sidewalk, incl. back to the road. In order to turn around and "jerk" across the road, he needs a fraction of a second, which you do not have.
10. If the inspector stopped you and started a conversation about the fact that you are obliged to let a pedestrian pass, i.e. wait until the pedestrian crosses the road, from which side he would not appear, ask the inspector to get the Code of Administrative Offenses and read article 12.18. There is no penalty for not allowing a pedestrian to pass. There is a punishment for: “Failure to comply with the traffic rules requirement to give way to pedestrians,” and you gave way to a pedestrian.
11. If a pedestrian crossed the border of the carriageway and the inspector stopped you, ask him to invite the pedestrian, because only a pedestrian can say:
1. Did he change direction and speed of his movement when you passed by? Those. did you interfere with his movement or not?
2. Has he renounced the advantage given to him in your favor?
If a pedestrian becomes a participant in your conversation with the inspector, then before asking questions, explain to him: if the crossing was unsafe for him, but he crossed the border of the carriageway, then the inspector must issue a fine for him, too, because. he did not have the right to start the transition - clause 4.5 of the SDA. In addition, if a pedestrian does not have documents, then he will be detained for 3 hours until his identity is clarified in the event that any protocol is drawn up, incl. and your wrongdoing.
At this point, you are not intimidating the pedestrian. You bring to his attention his rights and obligations, which the inspector must read to him. In the end, do not forget to warn the pedestrian about Article 51 of the Constitution, according to which he has the right not to testify against himself. After explanations, the pedestrian will say that you did not create any interference with him, or he will remain silent.
In fact, the inspector can do without detaining a pedestrian for identification. He has access to the information base of the address bureau. If a pedestrian blurts out someone else's last name, then either the address will not match, or the year of birth will not match. And then - if you please, go to the police department.
For a pedestrian, there is one loophole - the inspector can announce a remark to the pedestrian, and not draw up a report on him. But you do not agree with the offense, and therefore you will definitely call a pedestrian for analysis in the traffic police and for an appeal to the federal and regional courts. The word "judgment" has an indelible effect on ignorant people.
On the other hand, drawing up a protocol on you, and announcing a remark to a pedestrian, speaks of a biased attitude towards you.
If the case could not be resolved on the spot, write in the protocol: “Driver's explanations on 1 sheet”, and fill out Appendix 9. If the decision is not in your favor, then it should be:
a) motivated - subparagraph 6 of part 1 of article 29.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses;
b) they should evaluate your explanations - Article 26.2 and Article 26.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The traffic police are not very fond of these points, and in an hour they generally make a stamp “a la Polykhaev”, which they slap in the right place of the decision. However, if these points are not met, then the driver has a good chance of appealing the decision.
If all this looks complicated, you can offer the inspector to announce a warning for not allowing a pedestrian to pass (see Insignificance), and to repent of yesterday's crossing of the road with a dividing strip outside the pedestrian crossing (clause 4.3 of the SDA) without interfering with vehicles. The inspector will draw up a report on you as a pedestrian under part 1 of article 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses with a fine of 200 rubles. and you will save at least 600 rubles. non-passing of a pedestrian under Article 12.18 of the Code of Administrative Offenses is punishable by a fine of 800 to 1000 rubles.

Say a word about a poor passer-by

In the current difficult financial times, our lawmakers again decided to replenish the budget in another exotic way. This time they increased the fine for drivers who "do not give way to pedestrians." On all television channels, we are poured into the brain that now you can safely throw yourself under the wheels of cars, if you are crushed, then the budget will be replenished not by 100 rubles, but by a whole thousand. Hurrah, comrades! Let's help our state! However, in my opinion, real help should be to reduce accidents on the roads, in particular, reduce the number of collisions with pedestrians. Therefore, let's recall together the duties of drivers, the duties of pedestrians and analyze the complex life situations into which we fall, and which do not fit into the polar concepts of morality from traffic rules.

This material consists of five chapters. In the first three, I talk in detail about the duties of pedestrians, drivers and the relationship between them within the framework of traffic rules. In the fourth chapter I collected various situations related to pedestrians, pedestrian crossings and briefly analyze in which situation the driver is right and in which he is not. The most impatient can start reading from it, returning to the first three chapters only for clarification of incomprehensible points. And for those who want to refresh their memory of traffic rules in terms of the relationship between drivers and pedestrians, as well as just inquisitive ones, I suggest starting from the very beginning. So…

Chapter 1

In order for the driver and pedestrian to speak "the same language", let's define the terms. Let's open the very first paragraph of the rules. Here and below, I have highlighted all quotations from the SDA in italics.

"Pedestrian" - a person who is outside the vehicle on the road and does not work on it. Persons moving in wheelchairs without an engine, driving a bicycle, moped, motorcycle, carrying a sledge, cart, wheelchair are equated to pedestrians.

From this definition, we understand that, roughly speaking, any person we see in the windshield of a car is a pedestrian. The following is interesting. A person carrying a stroller or sled is a pedestrian. And who is the person who is in the sled or in the carriage? Or a person on roller skates, a skateboard. After all, they mention separately mechanical devices, such as wheelchairs or a bike? Why are roller skates not highlighted? After all, pedestrians moving on rollers need to pay much more attention. They can easily fall or simply not have time to slow down and jump out onto the roadway. Not to mention the fact that they move at a speed exceeding the speed of a pedestrian. What the driver does not expect at all.

"Pedestrian crossing" - a section of the carriageway, marked with signs 5.19.1, 5.19.2 and (or) markings 1.14.1 and 1.14.2 and allocated for pedestrian traffic across the road. In the absence of markings, the width of the pedestrian crossing is determined by the distance between signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2.

Main points - crosswalk can be indicated only by signs, and only by markings. And there may be markings and signs. The difficulty in life lies in the fact that if there is no markup, then the width of the transition is determined as the distance between the characters. Often, both signs hang on the same pole and, in this case, the width of the pedestrian crossing will be the diameter of the pole. Therefore, according to the rules, a person crossing the road at such a crossing will not be at a pedestrian crossing. And in life, people will try to cross the road next to the signs, considering themselves absolutely right! Be carefull.

"Road user" - a person who is directly involved in the process of movement as a driver, pedestrian, passenger of a vehicle.

This concept will often occur in the duties of drivers. And, often, drivers lose sight of the fact that a pedestrian is a full-fledged participant in the road along with him, the driver, himself. We, unfortunately, this concept simplified to “another car”, although there is not a word directly about the car in the definition.

"Give way (do not interfere)" - a requirement meaning that a road user must not start, resume or continue moving, perform any maneuver, if this may force other road users who have an advantage in relation to him to change direction movement or speed.

One of the major misconceptions, especially among pedestrians, is that they understand the requirement to “yield” as “stop and give way”. It's not like that at all. If the pedestrian has entered the pedestrian crossing, and the car can pass in such a way that the pedestrian, who has an advantage in this situation, does not need to change speed or direction of movement, then the driver complied with the traffic rules requirement - “give way”.

Chapter 2. SDA - a book for pedestrians

The fact that “the driver is obliged to give way to pedestrians” is now probably known even to dogs that are not pedestrians according to traffic rules. By the way, more than once or twice I saw stray dogs that crossed the road along the "zebra". But do pedestrians know about their duties? For them, not only is there a whole point 4 “Responsibilities of pedestrians”, but also references to pedestrians are scattered over many other points. Let's briefly go over the main responsibilities of pedestrians.

Clause 4.1. states that “pedestrians must walk on sidewalks or footpaths, and in their absence, along the roadsides. On the carriageway (not to be confused with the concept of "road", which includes both "carriageway" and "roadside") can move:

Disabled people and people carrying bulky items if they interfere with pedestrians on the sidewalk or curb;

Any pedestrians, if there are no shoulders or sidewalks, as well as in the case of "impossibility to move on them." In this case, pedestrians must walk in one line towards the movement of vehicles. That is, if a pedestrian walks in the same direction as the car, or walks in the second row, then he violates traffic rules. Exceptions are only for cyclists and disabled people in wheelchairs, they can move in the direction of travel. But also in the same line.

Highly interesting point 4.3. "Pedestrians must cross the carriageway at pedestrian crossings ..., and in their absence - at intersections along the line of sidewalks or roadsides." It follows that a pedestrian walking across the intersection (in other words, diagonally) is an offender. Also, the violator is the one who does not cross the pedestrian crossing (remember the width of the transition, if it is indicated only by signs?). Read on. “If there is no crossing or intersection in the visibility zone, it is allowed to cross the road at a right angle to the edge of the carriageway in areas without a dividing strip and fences, where it is clearly visible in both directions.” I would like to remind you that the median strip is "a road element, marked out constructively and (or) using marking 1.2.1, separating adjacent carriageways and not intended for the movement and stopping of vehicles." Do not confuse it with the "double solid" markup 1.3.

I note that if there is a crossing or intersection in the pedestrian's visibility zone, then he must reach it and cross the road exactly there, and not where he wanted to.

Even more interesting point 4.4. It obliges pedestrians to “be guided by the signals of a traffic controller or a pedestrian traffic light, and in its absence, a transport traffic light.” Let's remember this point, it will come in handy when we analyze the driver's duties when driving through intersections.

The next point I really want to be heard and learned by pedestrians who turn on “God mode” at the pedestrian crossing - “God mode”. This is when they walk along the transition as if there are no cars around at all! So, paragraph 4.5 obliges pedestrians "to go out onto the carriageway after they estimate the distance to approaching vehicles and make sure that the crossing will be safe for them." This paragraph makes the pedestrian responsible for the safety of his maneuver and gives the driver the opportunity to justify himself if he did not have the technical ability to let the pedestrian pass at the pedestrian crossing. This paragraph also obliges the pedestrian not to create obstacles when crossing the carriageway outside the pedestrian crossing (including at the intersection when crossing according to the rules) and not to leave the obstacle without making sure that his maneuver is safe.

Paragraph 4.6 speaks of the need for a pedestrian not to linger on the roadway, if this is not related to safety. If he did not have time to cross the carriageway, then he should await his fate on the lines separating the traffic flows of opposite directions. Which, by the way, may well be unmarked markup. So a pedestrian in the middle of the road may be within the traffic rules, do not forget.

Paragraph 4.7 obliges pedestrians, as well as drivers, to give way to cars with a beacon on. of blue color and a special sound signal. It is no coincidence that he singled out the union “and” in bold - “flasher” separately from the “siren” and vice versa do not give priority to either the driver or the pedestrian.

Paragraph 4.8 regulates the procedure for waiting for pedestrians of fixed-route vehicles (let me remind you that according to the rules, these are buses, trolleybuses, trams; minibuses and taxis do not apply to them). A pedestrian must enter the carriageway for boarding only after the bus (trolleybus, tram) has stopped. And then, if the landing site is not equipped with "raised landing pads." By the way, despite the fact that fixed-route taxis and just taxis do not belong to “route vehicles”, the rules for their waiting and landing are equated to “MTS”: “Wait for shuttle vehicles and taxis ...” - a quote from paragraph 4.8. So a pedestrian voting on the roadway is a financially secure traffic offender.

There is also clause 16.1, which prohibits pedestrians from being on motorways at all. There are no such roads in the city, but there are more than one right outside the city.

Chapter 3. Driver + Pedestrian = Cat + Dog

Let's now talk about the duties of the driver, but already taking into account those duties that are imposed on pedestrians by the rules of the road.

The beginning of the movement (as well as rebuilding, turning, turning, reversing) "should not interfere with other road users" - a quote from paragraphs 8.1 and 8.12 (about reversing). Let me remind you that it is the pedestrian, like the driver, who is a full-fledged participant in the movement, and not “another car”.

Paragraph 8.3 obliges the driver, when leaving the adjacent territory, to give way to pedestrians moving along the road on which the driver is going to leave. As well as at the exit from the road to the adjacent territory. And here is interesting point. The adjacent territory includes gas stations, parking near Ashanov, etc. Paragraph 4.5 obliges pedestrians to make sure that their maneuver is safe only when they “enter the roadway”. The carriageway is an element of the road, and the adjacent territory is not a road. Consequently, in the adjacent territory (read - in the parking lots of Auchan and other hypermega-super-supermarkets), the pedestrian is the king and God. He has the right to move as he wants and the driver has no right to rush him or somehow offend him.

Now let's talk about the passage of intersections. According to the traffic rules, the intersection can be regulated and unregulated - depending on the presence or absence of a working traffic light (flashing "yellow" refers to a non-working traffic light). For pedestrians, too, there are the same concepts, depending on the presence of a pedestrian traffic light. In life, it is easier to divide intersections into three types: with a traffic light for cars and pedestrians, with a traffic light only for cars, and without a traffic light. Accordingly, we will use these definitions.

If a red light is on at any intersection with a traffic light for cars, then paragraph 6.13 obliges the driver to stop in front of the stop line, and in case of its absence, "in front of the intersecting carriageway, without interfering with pedestrians." And we remember that according to the rules, pedestrians have the right to cross intersections along the lines of sidewalks and roadsides. So, we stop so that the pedestrian, having stepped off the sidewalk, would not have to maneuver between the standing cars.

If the intersection is with a traffic light for pedestrians, then pedestrians must be guided by its signals, if the intersection is with a traffic light for cars and without a traffic light for pedestrians, then pedestrians must be guided by traffic lights for cars. Everyone knows about the first part of the previous sentence, but many do not know about the second. And this is a serious danger, especially in the presence of a "zebra". There is clause 13.1 in the rules, obliging "when turning left or right, give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway of the road onto which we are turning." And this point is valid for any intersection. However, when a left turn occurs through an additional section, while the main traffic light is red, pedestrians are required to give way - this is directly stated in paragraph 4.4 of the rules. But pedestrians often do not know about this and calmly go to the "zebra", I think that they are always obliged to let them through on the "zebra". And at the same time, they perform an action equivalent to driving a car through a red light. What is sad.

In the passage of intersections there is another very difficult moment, namely, the completion of the maneuver. Paragraph 13.7 obliges a driver who has entered the intersection at a traffic light signal to "leave in the intended direction, regardless of the traffic light signal at the exit from the intersection" (if there is no stop line in front of him, located on the path of the car). And paragraph 13.8 obliges other drivers “when the traffic signal is turned on ... give way to vehicles completing the movement through the intersection, and pedestrians who have not completed the transition ...”. At first glance, everything is fine. But in life, when there is a pedestrian traffic light, as soon as it turns green, regardless of whether the driver has completed the maneuver or not, pedestrians start walking. And the rules do not regulate this situation! On the one hand, according to paragraph 13.7, the driver must complete the maneuver, on the other hand, paragraph 6.5 explicitly allows pedestrians to move. And it does not contain instructions, such as "pedestrians should enter the roadway, making sure that it will be safe." Therefore, you need to be very careful when completing a maneuver at a prohibitory traffic light.

The same pattern holds for intersections where there are only traffic lights for cars. Paragraph 18.8 obliges only drivers to let the car that completes the maneuver pass. But they forgot about pedestrians. Paragraph 6.2 allows them to move without looking back. Be careful!

Now let's talk about pedestrian crossings, especially since a whole chapter is devoted to them. Paragraph 14.1 obliges the driver to "give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway at an unregulated pedestrian crossing." I specifically highlighted the word "transitional". We must give way to passing pedestrians, and not to those standing nearby or even standing on a zebra. Only passing, that is, moving. At the same time, clause 4.5. prohibits pedestrians from entering the carriageway (even if a zebra is marked on it) as long as it is associated with a danger to their lives. I recommend interpreting paragraph 14.1 as follows: “if I see that a pedestrian has stepped out along the zebra on the left side of the road, then I must give way to him; if a pedestrian stands on the right side of the road or even at the beginning of a pedestrian crossing, but stands, then I am not obliged to yield to him. However, if I have the opportunity to miss it, then I will definitely miss it. Also, remember that “give way” is not “stop” but “do not continue if the pedestrian is forced to change speed or direction” – see Chapter 1.

In general, give way to pedestrians. But this should not interfere with other road users. No need to slow down to the floor to let a pedestrian pass if another car is following you. No need to stand for a long, long time in front of the transition, waiting for the grandmother to just reach it. Everything should be in moderation. Remember, in order for a pedestrian to stop, he needs to take a step. To stop the car - meters. You will stop. But are you always sure that other drivers will understand your maneuver in time and stop too? Let's say you stop on a four-lane road in front of a zebra to let a pedestrian pass. How many situations have already been and will be when other drivers cannot "unravel" such an intention. "He broke?" "Will it turn left/right?" “Is he slowing down because he is talking on the phone or drinking coffee?” "He changes the disc in the radio?" There are many possible guesses, and among them “stops to let pedestrians through” is far from the first on the list. Alas, but this is life. And this must be taken into account. Therefore, when passing pedestrians, be extremely attentive to the environment.

Let's now look at paragraph 14.2, which is directly related to the situation described in the previous paragraph. There is a misconception that "if a car stops in front of a zebra, then everyone else should stop." No, it's not. This paragraph only gives the right to continue driving, making sure that there are no pedestrians in front of the braked car. And this, unfortunately, can easily serve as an excuse for someone who rushed through the transition without giving way. I would like to add that paragraph 14.2 obliges to make sure not only drivers of passing cars, but in general “drivers of vehicles moving in neighboring lanes”. So, you need to monitor what the drivers of the opposite direction are doing. And if they stopped to let a pedestrian pass, and the pedestrian is already moving along the crossing, please stop.

I also want to add that clause 14.3 obliges the driver to let the pedestrians pass, in the case when the green light is on for the cars, and the pedestrians have not yet completed the crossing. Drivers at a pedestrian crossing are prohibited from turning around and reversing (clauses 8.11, 8.12), stopping both at the crossing itself and at a distance of 5 meters in front of it (after it, you can immediately - clause 12.4). But overtaking on a zebra is prohibited only if there are pedestrians on it - clause 11.5.

The next topic of our conversation will be residential areas and courtyard areas, which are equated to residential areas in clause 17.4. And if 5.21 informs the driver about entering the residential area, then there are no signs in the yards, but the rules for residential areas still apply. by the most important point is that pedestrians can move both along the sidewalks and along the entire width of the carriageway (clause 17.1). The same clause prohibits pedestrians from creating "unreasonable obstruction to the movement of vehicles", but I would recommend understanding it as "do not create barricades and do not lay mines." Therefore, it is not necessary to “blow” a pedestrian who walks along the path leading to the house, even if there is a piece of free space on the sidewalk (which, if global problem with parking spaces looks almost ridiculous). Also, in residential areas, as well as in courtyards, paragraph 17.2 prohibits through traffic. This means that all the detours of traffic jams through the yards are a malicious violation of traffic rules.

Chapter 4

Russia is a country with established traditions. An ancient and primordially Russian tradition is attempts to divorce drivers by "werewolves in uniform". Moreover, as a real werewolf is activated on a full moon, so a chased werewolf is activated with the adoption of new amendments. In order not to feel like a rabbit at the moment of stopping, and after stopping like a sucker (and even with an empty wallet), I tried to collect the maximum number of situations related to pedestrians and pedestrian crossings that a motorist can get into. And I explain whether the driver is to blame or not. So, imagine, the traffic police inspector stops us and ...

Situation

innocent

Did you miss the grandmother standing on the sidewalk next to the crosswalk

You did not give way to a pedestrian moving on a crosswalk

Paragraph 14.1 obliges to pass only pedestrians moving along a pedestrian crossing.

If you passed the crossing without forcing the pedestrian walking on it to change speed or direction of movement.

If you can prove that you did not have the technical ability to stop, paragraph 4.5 obliges pedestrians to enter the roadway only after making sure that it is safe.

You did not give way to a pedestrian standing on a line dividing oncoming traffic or on a traffic island if he is NOT at a pedestrian crossing

Paragraph 4.6 obliges the pedestrian to stop exactly where he stands and continue moving only after making sure that the maneuver is safe.

You did not let a pedestrian pass, who entered the pedestrian crossing on a green light, but did not have time to cross the carriageway to the end

Moreover, both at a pedestrian traffic light and at a traffic light for cars. Pedestrians started moving in the permitted direction, you did not let them through.

A controversial situation that is not described in the rules. Paragraph 13.7 obliges the driver to complete the maneuver, and paragraph 6.5 allows pedestrians to move without looking at cars.

A car has stopped in front of an unregulated pedestrian crossing, the pedestrian is on the sidewalk, you have not stopped.

Clause 14.2 allows movement in this situation if you have made sure that there are no pedestrians in front of the stopped car.

The driver of the oncoming car stopped in front of the pedestrian crossing, the pedestrian whom you did not let pass, had just started moving from the left side of the street.

Chapter 5. - My last name Total (when receiving a salary)

In this complex and diverse world, there are so many subtleties and nuances that they cannot be described either at the state level within the framework of the code of rules of the road, or at any other. I hope that both pedestrians and drivers read this article, so I want to turn to each in turn.

Dear Pedestrian. Believe me, drivers would be happy to let you pass, but they do not always have such an opportunity. Stopping a car in a way that is safe not only for the pedestrian in front of it, but also for the surrounding drivers, only seems like a simple task. And the complexity of this task increases many times if it is dark outside, or it is raining, or slippery. And if all these factors come together, then remember that in order to stop, you need to take a step or two, and for a car these are meters. Dress so that you can be seen - reflective stripes on clothes are happiness for the driver and a holiday for the pedestrian. Not only will they notice you in any weather, but they will also slow down, thinking that there is a traffic cop in front of them (unfortunately, now only traffic cops wear clothes with reflective stripes). And let you be a thousand times right, crossing the road along the "zebra" on the green traffic light, the car is iron, but you are not. "Give Way to the Fool" - Golden Rule"Three D" for drivers. Take it on board too.

Dear driver! How quickly those sensations that a pedestrian experiences while standing in front of a pedestrian crossing and looking at the cars rushing past are forgotten behind the wheel. But you were once a pedestrian too. And they also stood in front of the "zebra", not daring to step into this buzzing stream. Let's respect not the cars around us, but the people around us. Some people are in cars, other people are on foot. But both of them - each - a person who expects from you, the driver, a piece of your attention. And even if you are obliged to let pass only a pedestrian moving along a zebra, show nobility: stop in front of those who are still waiting for the opportunity to cross the road. A grateful nod of the head, or a smile, or "Thank you" read on the lips will be the most expensive reward. Don't believe? And you try!

SDA RF 2017 - 4. Responsibilities of pedestrians - Auto Mail.Ru

SDA 2017 chapter 4 - Responsibilities of pedestrians. ... When crossing the road and driving along the roadsides or the edge of the carriageway in the dark ... or from it, pedestrians must be guided by the requirements of paragraphs 4.4-4.7 of the Rules.

Rights and obligations of pedestrians - Blamper.ru

In the absence of a pedestrian crossing, the road can be crossed to ... For example, for violating the rules for crossing the carriageway (crossing to ...

According to the official statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, main reason The majority of traffic accidents in the country is the complete disregard of traffic rules at pedestrian crossings by citizens.

This can be partly explained by the fact that people have the right of way to travel on such stretches of highways. However, this rule does not always and does not apply to all pedestrian crossings.

SDA for land crossings

According to the current traffic rules, places where ground crossing of the carriageway is allowed must be equipped with appropriate markings (“zebra”) and signs. The absence of such signs indicates that people are prohibited from crossing the road in this place.

There are two types of pedestrian crossings, for each of which there are separate rules of passage:

1. Adjustable.

Such crossings, in addition to the markings applied on the roadway, have a traffic light. The latter regulates traffic in this area. At the same time, according to the new rules for the passage of pedestrian crossings, drivers, in the event of a green signal, must let pass people who have not crossed to the other side. Otherwise, the motorist is fined.

1. Unregulated.

As in the first case, the presence of a pedestrian crossing is indicated by markings applied to the road surface. According to the rules, the driver is obliged to stop in front of the "zebra" if:

• the pedestrian stepped on it;
• did not complete the crossing.

Moreover, the driver does not have the right to give a sound signal, thereby urging people on. This, as well as the movement through the transition at the moment when there are people on it, is punishable by fairly high fines.

Is it always the driver's fault?

Unfortunately, today many citizens are sure that if they set foot on a pedestrian crossing, all motorists are obliged to let them through. This is true in the case when the crossing of the carriageway is not regulated by a traffic light. Moreover, some people believe that, in principle, they should be allowed to pass when they cross the road, regardless of where the movement is made.

According to the SDA, people have the right to cross highways only in places equipped with appropriate road signs and markings, or at intersections along the sidewalk line.

In other cases, citizens must be guided by the following rules:

1. When crossing in places not intended for this, they can move only after they have estimated the distance for approaching vehicles and are convinced that further actions are not associated with danger.
2. When moving through the motorway in places not intended for this, citizens should not interfere with the traffic flow.
3. When entering a motorway, pedestrians are allowed to stop only for safety reasons. In other cases, they are required to cross the highway.

All pedestrians must comply with traffic rules. They, like drivers, are also road users. This means that pedestrians are responsible for non-compliance with the rules.

Recent changes in traffic rules

In 2014, a new version of the SDA was released with changes that directly affected pedestrians:

1. "Zebra" on the tram tracks.

Previously, in the SDA, the concept of "pedestrian crossing" was understood as a segment of the road with special markings. Now it also applies to tram lines.

If people cross the latter on sections equipped with appropriate signs, then the tram driver, like the motorist, is obliged to let pedestrians through.

1. Everyone must stop before the stop line.

All drivers, regardless of which lane they were previously moving in, are required to stop if a person has entered the zebra.

Moreover, motorists are prohibited from overtaking on such sections of the motorway.

1. New term "give way".

The term “give way” has been added to the current version of the SDA. It means the following: drivers are obliged to let people through if they stepped onto the roadway in a specially equipped area where citizens have the right of way.

Congestion problem

In metropolitan areas, traffic congestion is a fairly common occurrence. Therefore, it is not uncommon for drivers to stop right on the zebra, although this is prohibited by the current version of the traffic rules.

According to the rules of the road, if there is a possibility that a motorist will have to brake directly on the road markings, he is obliged to warn such a situation in advance.

In other words, even if the car stopped on a zebra due to a traffic jam, the driver will in any case be punished in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses.

This requirement is due to the following:

• remaining on the "zebra", the car interferes with the normal movement of people;
• the car reduces visibility on the road, and therefore the other driver can drive ahead at the moment when people are walking along the zebra.

In both cases, the risk of accidents and injuries is high.

It should also be noted that at the pedestrian crossing drivers:

• turn around;
• move backward;
• leave your cars (not just stop).

A pedestrian crossing is one of the special sections of the road, therefore, separate rules apply to it.

Penalties

Today, pedestrian zones are equipped with additional signs, markings and other latest inventions. In particular, these can be devices that create special animation, a separate edging with reflective properties. In addition, an additional sign was placed right above the zebra. Also among the innovations that increase the level of security should be attributed to the widespread introduction of speed bumps, installed a few meters before the pedestrian crossing.

If the driver does not allow people to pass on sections of the road where they have the right of way, then a fine is imposed on the motorist in the amount of:

• 1.5 thousand rubles, if the actions were committed at an unregulated crossing;
• 1,000 rubles for a regulated offense and 5,000 rubles for a repeated violation.

Under certain circumstances, a motorist who did not stop at the stop line may be seized driver license for four months. And crossing the latter even in the absence of people is punishable by fines of 800 rubles.

As for parking cars, they must be separated from the "zebra" at a distance exceeding 5 meters. For non-compliance with this rule, a fine of 1,000 rubles is initially provided, and in the future it grows to 3,000 rubles.

Pedestrians who violate traffic rules are also punished. If they crossed the highway at a red traffic light, they will have to pay a fine of 500 rubles.

Video: Crosswalk in China

The relationship between the driver and pedestrians is regulated by the traffic rules of the Russian Federation. But still, this problem is very complex, and the official statistics of Russian accidents confirm this. Yes, for last year 184,000 accidents were registered in the Russian Federation, and more than 30% of them (in absolute terms - 56,918) are associated with collisions with pedestrians. Taking into account the fact that not all such accidents are registered, there are even more of them (at least by an order of magnitude!).

Therefore, it will not be superfluous to once again assess the state of the legal framework governing relations between these two irreconcilable groups of road users - drivers and pedestrians.

Video - sad statistics confirm that the rules for passing pedestrian crossings are often violated:

Let us immediately note the fact that in this article we will consider the Rules for the passage of pedestrian crossings located outside the intersections. This circumstance seems to be very significant, since the movement on a pedestrian crossing at an intersection has some specifics and is regulated by a special - 13th - section of the SDA.

And so, what do we mean by a pedestrian crossing?

"Pedestrian crossing" - a section of the carriageway, tram tracks, marked with signs 5.19.1, 5.19.2 and (or) markings 1.14.1 and 1.14.2 and allocated for pedestrian traffic across the road. In the absence of markings, the width of the pedestrian crossing is determined by the distance between signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2.

Pedestrian crossing - a driver's problem?

Every experienced driver knows that crossing a pedestrian crossing is a very dangerous undertaking. The reasons for the danger lie in the fact that a priori pedestrians are poorly versed in the Rules of the Road (and even simply do not know them or do not want to know!).

Their actions are guided by a misconception formed by unscrupulous media: The pedestrian at the crosswalk is always right. This is a deeply flawed position..

4.3. Pedestrians must cross the road at pedestrian crossings, including underground and elevated ones, and in their absence, at intersections along the line of sidewalks or roadsides.

……………..

4.5. At unregulated pedestrian crossings, pedestrians can enter the carriageway (tram tracks) after they estimate the distance to approaching vehicles, their speed and make sure that the crossing will be safe for them. When crossing the road outside a pedestrian crossing, pedestrians, in addition, should not interfere with the movement of vehicles and leave from behind a standing vehicle or other obstacle that limits visibility without making sure that there are no approaching vehicles.

4.6. Having entered the carriageway (tram tracks), pedestrians should not linger or stop, if this is not related to ensuring traffic safety. Pedestrians who do not have time to complete the transition must stop at the island of safety or on the line dividing the traffic flows of opposite directions. You can continue the transition only after making sure that the further movement is safe and taking into account the traffic light signal (traffic controller).

According to section 4 of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, a pedestrian has a number of fundamental responsibilities in ensuring traffic safety. And it often happens that it is the pedestrians who do not fulfill the elementary requirements that are put forward:

• relevant sections and articles of the SDA;
• road markings.

Thus, it can be clearly concluded that pedestrians, being road users in the Russian Federation, are endowed with a number of duties that must be performed. Otherwise, an accident is more than likely.

New rules for pedestrian crossings

Changes in Russian legislation are a normal, natural phenomenon. And innovations in the field of regulation of passage through pedestrian crossings are the usual state of the legal framework. What do we have at the moment in this segment?

Unregulated pedestrian crossing: give way to a pedestrian or give way to him

AT recent times clause 14.1 of the SDA has undergone significant adjustments.

14.1. The driver of a vehicle approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing must give way to pedestrians crossing the road or entering the carriageway (tram tracks) to make the crossing.

Someone will say: “The problem is far-fetched! What's the difference: pass or yield? It doesn't change the meaning!" This is another amateurish and erroneous position.

In the traffic rules of the Russian Federation there is no concept of "skip", but there is the term "give way"(clause 1.2). This means that the previously existing (before November 14, 2014) norm “to let the pedestrian through” was incorrect and led to serious and significant abuses by traffic police officers – traffic police inspectors.

How should the driver act in the current legal conditions? Many are trying to find an explanation of the traffic police on this issue. To give way to a pedestrian is not to interfere with his movement through a pedestrian crossing. Therefore, it is necessary to act in such a way as to give the pedestrian the right to enjoy priority (advantage) at the crossing.

In the ordinary sense - skip it, but from the point of view of legislation - precisely not to interfere. And if the driver does not create such interference, then he has the right to move, despite the fact that the pedestrian (already or still) crosses the carriageway.

One can argue about the appropriateness of such tactics, but these actions are not prohibited by law. True, we will have to fight with an unscrupulous "traffic cop" who intends to issue an administrative fine for an offense that has not actually and legally been committed.

Peculiarities of exit to the pedestrian crossing

It happens that the visibility of a pedestrian crossing is blocked by a standing (stopped) object. What to do?

14.2. If a vehicle stops or slows down before an unregulated pedestrian crossing, drivers of other vehicles moving in the same direction are also required to stop or slow down. It is allowed to continue driving subject to the requirements of paragraph 14.1 of the Rules.

Departure to a pedestrian crossing in the absence of visibility of the situation on it is prohibited.

And it is right. What can be disputes?

Be sure to wait for the pedestrian

Some drivers have formed an incorrect understanding of the regulatory action of a traffic light. It seems to them that turning on the green signal is a direct guide to action. This is not true!

14.3. At regulated pedestrian crossings, when the traffic signal is turned on, the driver must allow pedestrians to complete the crossing of the carriageway (tram tracks) in this direction.

This is especially important to remember at a regulated pedestrian crossing.

After turning on the pass signal, the driver must ensure the safety of pedestrians. Agree, it is easier for the driver to warn dangerous consequences situations.

If there is a traffic jam behind the crossing

In large cities - megacities, the situation of traffic jams and congestion is traditional. And it often happens that drivers stop at pedestrian crossings because of them.

The SDA clearly requires drivers to refuse to go to the crossing in such conditions.

14.4. It is forbidden to enter a pedestrian crossing if a traffic jam has formed behind it, which will force the driver to stop at the pedestrian crossing.

The motivation for the requirement is simple: leaving the crossing in traffic jams is dangerous due to the creation of:

• interference with pedestrian traffic;
• poor visibility of the crossing for other drivers who may simply not notice a pedestrian maneuvering between vehicles).

Restrictions on maneuvers at a pedestrian crossing

The pedestrian crossing is a special area, and there are special rules vehicle movements. So, it is strictly prohibited here:

• reversal;
• reversing;
• parking.

Instead of a conclusion

Speaking about the passage of a pedestrian crossing and innovations in the Russian legal field, it is necessary to note the importance attached to this issue at the level of the state itself.

But only with the unanimous impulse of lawmakers, drivers, and pedestrians will we be able to reverse the situation with an incredibly large representation of road accidents at a pedestrian crossing (more than 30%) in the total number of accidents in Russia.

God bless us!

If you don't remember what

According to the definition (clause 1.2 of the SDA), a pedestrian crossing is a section of the carriageway, marked with signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 and (or) markings 1.14.1 and 1.14.2, and allocated for pedestrian traffic across the road.

Let us first consider in what places the Rules allow pedestrians to cross the carriageway. The answer to this question is given by clause 4.3 of the SDA:

“Pedestrians must cross the carriageway at pedestrian crossings, including underground and elevated ones, and in their absence, at intersections along the line of sidewalks or roadsides.

If there is no crossing or intersection in the visibility zone, it is allowed to cross the road at a right angle to the edge of the carriageway in sections without a dividing strip and fences where it is clearly visible in both directions.

Thus, a pedestrian crossing can be located both at a crossroads and in any other place marked on the road, where necessary, and the crossing itself can be regulated by a traffic light, or can be indicated only by signs, i.e. be unregulated. At pedestrian crossings located on controlled intersections, only markings (zebra) can be applied, and signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 may be absent.

Moreover, if at the intersection there is not a single attribute of a pedestrian crossing at all (there are no signs, no markings, no pedestrian traffic lights), then pedestrians are allowed to cross the carriageway along the line of sidewalks or shoulders, observing safety measures.

In the event that there is neither a marked crossing nor an intersection nearby, and the road does not have a dividing strip and fences, the same paragraph 4.3 allows pedestrians to cross it at a right angle to the edge of the carriageway, i.e. along the shortest path, but in places where the road is clearly visible in both directions to both pedestrians and drivers.

This paragraph is specially highlighted in a different color to attract the attention of the reader. Pedestrians are not always aware of where and how to cross the road. Among them there are those who have never opened the Rules of the Road at all. They have no idea what to stop completely in different weather conditions the car needs different time. Therefore, this paragraph is written more for drivers than for pedestrians, to make it clear that a pedestrian can appear on the road anywhere!

Before proceeding with the passage of pedestrian crossings, we briefly touch on what maneuvers are prohibited for drivers to do at pedestrian crossings.

At pedestrian crossings it is prohibited:

• overtaking in the presence of pedestrians at the crossing - clause 11.4;
• stopping and parking at the pedestrian crossing itself and closer than 5m in front of it - clauses 12.4 and 12.5;
• reversal - item 8.11;
• reversing - clause 8.12;

Now consider how the Rules require drivers to pass pedestrian crossings. Let's start with ground crossings at intersections.

Pedestrian crossing at the crossroads

“When turning right or left, the driver is obliged to give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway on which he is turning, as well as to cyclists crossing it along the cycle path” - clause 13.1 of the SDA.

This rule applies to any (regulated and unregulated) intersections, including roundabouts, when leaving from roundabout. Previously, in the article Driving through intersections. Entry and exit - general rules, this rule has already been discussed.

Regulated pedestrian crossing at the intersection. When the intersection is regulated by a traffic light, then most often a green signal in one direction allows movement for both drivers and pedestrians at the same time. Pedestrians with a working traffic light are very clear: a red signal - stop, a green signal - go. If the car turns at this intersection (to the right or to the left), their trajectories will intersect, and in this case the driver must give way to pedestrians crossing the carriageway.

For those who continue to move through the intersection in the forward direction: when the traffic signal is turned on, drivers must give pedestrians the opportunity to complete the crossing of the carriageway (clause 13.8).

Advice for pedestrians: when the permission signal for crossing turned on for you, you do not need to rush headlong into the roadway, forcing drivers who are finishing the intersection to stop at the pedestrian crossing. Let him drive. This is a very common occurrence, especially during peak hours.

Sometimes cars literally squeeze through the walking crowd - this is already a gross violation of the drivers, which the traffic police inspector can fix. In such a situation, if you did not have time to leave the intersection, and the pedestrians have already gone through the crossing, it is advisable to stop the car just before the pedestrian crossing and let the pedestrians pass.

Unregulated pedestrian crossing at the intersection.

On the unregulated intersection the pedestrian crossing has the status of an unregulated one, and the driver is obliged to give way to pedestrians not only when he turns right or left, but also when he moves through the intersection in the forward direction, regardless of which road he approaches the intersection: along the main or secondary.
