What is the fine for parking in a disabled spot? Penalties for parking lot owners

IN recent years penalties for parking in in the wrong place are constantly being tightened, today a driver can pay a tidy sum for a number of violations in this area. Moreover, it is almost impossible to challenge such a fine, and, as we know, there are no mitigating circumstances on the road.

The law is especially harsh on those who try to occupy a disabled parking space without justification. The traffic police requirements here are so strict that even for a disabled person, such parking can cost a pretty penny if he forgets about the formalities.

Disabled parking fine

Very often you can hear the following phrase from drivers: why was I fined, because I only stopped for 2 minutes? However, in this case, the law is harsh and is interpreted unambiguously; as soon as the car enters the parking lot, a violation has been committed and it is almost impossible to challenge it.

In accordance with Article 12.19. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation since 2011, the driver for illegal parking in a place for disabled people is punishable by a fine of in the amount of 5000 rubles.

Interestingly, traffic police inspectors are very fond of these violations.

Firstly, there are a lot of violators.
Secondly, such violations are very easy to prove in court.

Therefore, “bread” places do not remain without the attention of traffic police for a long time.

Despite the severity of the punishment, the number of violations here remains quite large. But it is steadily decreasing; according to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, drivers here practically never relapse, since the price for this offense is high, not only for an ordinary driver, but also for a representative of the middle class.

Why do we need packages for the disabled?

Any person with disabilities can stop in a regular parking lot. However, if the clinic, for example, does not have free space, park a block further and walk to the place on foot, for a disabled person, serious problem, and therefore it is humane to ensure that socially significant objects always have free places.

Other important reason appearance large quantities special places for cars of people with disabilities - this is the law "ABOUT social protection disabled people in the Russian Federation" requiring the organization of special parking in all parking lots, municipal parking lots, areas near supermarkets and private paid parking lots. A total of 10% of the parking space should be allocated for these purposes.

Violation of this law, according to Article 5.43. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, entails a fine, which for legal entities is 50,000 rubles. Of course, it is much cheaper to install a penny sign than to pay a tidy sum after each inspection.

Disabled parking signs

By current rules parking for disabled people is marked with three signs.

Parking (No. 6.4)
Disabled person sign (No. 8.17)
An auxiliary sign indicating the parking area.

As an auxiliary sign, special markings are often used in parking space 1.24.3, which is a rectangle measuring 1.6 by 0.8 meters with the symbol “disabled” inside.

Places for disabled people near supermarkets

And so, according to the law, every tenth parking space near parking lots around shopping centers and supermarkets, should be reserved for disabled people, but are they in an area under the jurisdiction of the traffic police, and will a fine be issued if you stand in this place.

Here the answer is clear: if the driver is caught in this violation, a protocol for an administrative offense is immediately drawn up, and a fine will have to be paid. According to the law, all, and not just this, violations of traffic rules in any parking lot are the responsibility of the road patrol service. The supermarket or security workers themselves cannot act as the rooting authority. They can only politely ask you to move to another place, or report violations to the traffic police.

Who is the disabled parking for?

Special parking is intended for disabled people of groups 1 and 2, with the appropriate identification and sign on the windshield of the car. Moreover, even if the driver has a sign, they can check his documents.

However, the law takes into account that not all disabled people are able to move independently. Many people use specially adapted cars, regular taxis, cars of relatives and friends, or delegate control of their transport to others.

In this case, you can install “Disabled” on cars and stop at a special parking lot. However, only if he is in at the moment transports a person with disabilities. In other cases, the permit is not valid and the car must be parked under general conditions.

Violation of this rule or illegal installation of a “disabled person” sign on a car is punishable in accordance with Articles 12.4 and 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation a fine of 5,000 rubles.

There are situations when there is a disabled person in the car, but there is no corresponding sign on the car. For example, a neighbor asked to take him to the supermarket or urgently needed to take a person to the doctor. This is not considered a violation. The traffic police officer must personally issue a fine, making sure that the driver or his passenger does not have a license for disabled people of the 1st or 2nd group. Only in this case will the violation be recorded by law.

Many people believe that there are too many places for disabled people and nothing will happen if they take one of them. However, we must not forget that the new infrastructure for people with disabilities was created so that they could live full life an ordinary person, as much as possible. But not for ordinary drivers to put themselves in the shoes of disabled people.

In order for a disabled person to take advantage of the benefit and park for free, he must obtain a special disability permit. However, he can leave the car without spending money only in a specially designated place. If all such spaces are occupied, and he parks in a regular one, he will receive a fine.

What should a disabled person do if he came somewhere on business, but everything special places are you busy? Apparently, you can park nearby in a regular paid space and go about your business. But no. First you need to pay general principles for parking: 80 or 50 rubles per hour. After all, if you don’t pay, then the disabled person also receives a fine of 2,500 rubles on a general basis. It also turned out that if ordinary person parks in a parking lot for the disabled, he will receive a fine, even if he pays for parking.

And there are already such precedents. The owner of one car received a disability permit, but left the car in its usual place (because everyone disabled parking were busy) for which she received 9 fines totaling 22,500 rubles. So what kind of concern for disabled people is this? The AMPP (Parking Space Administrator) confirmed the situation, there is no error.

That is, if a disabled person finds that all special spaces are occupied, he must ride in circles until a space is free, or park on a general basis for money.

This is attention to the disabled, you can’t say anything. By the way, no one warns about this, of course, when a permit is issued. Why? After all, in this way you can earn money not only from ordinary drivers, but also from disabled people. It has been said more than once that even residents who have signed up for a parking pass in their area often receive fines.

Either this is a disregard for citizens, or this is a completely conscious policy of the Parking Space Administrator in order to collect more money. Only you can draw conclusions, but do not forget that it is this organization that, in addition to paid parking, also controls

According to traffic rules, there are two signs designed to notify participants traffic about the fact that a person with special health conditions is driving or simply in a car:

“Disabled” is a yellow square with a side of 15 cm and a figure of a wheelchair user inside.
"Deaf Driver" - yellow circle 16 cm in diameter, inside which three black dots form a triangle.

The installation of these signs is voluntary. But strictly defined categories of citizens can use them.

Who can stick a “Disabled” sign on the car window?

The persons transporting them, as well as the parents of disabled children, also have the right to do this.

The driver of a car with a “Disabled Person” sign, in addition to his license, vehicle registration certificate and insurance, is required to carry with him “a document confirming the fact of disability” (Resolution of the Russian Government of January 21, 2016).

What specific document is not established by law. But it must indicate the group and cause of disability. Such documents are a pension certificate and a certificate of completion medical and social examination(the so-called pink form).

When stopped by a traffic police inspector, a disabled driver or a driver transporting a disabled person must present the original of one of these documents. Copies, even notarized ones, are not accepted.

What privileges does the “Disabled” sign on a car give?

Cars with “Disabled” signs installed on the windshield and rear windows are not subject to a number of prohibitory signs (Section 3 of Appendix 1 of the Traffic Regulations):

"Movement Prohibition";
“The movement of motor vehicles is prohibited”;
"No parking";
“Parking is prohibited due to even numbers months";
“Parking is prohibited on even days of the month.”

But most importantly, the “Disabled” sign gives the right to use specialized parking spaces.

What is disabled parking?

In parking lots near socially significant facilities, at least 10% of the spaces must be reserved for parking for people with disabilities (Article 15 Federal Law“On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”). That is, near any clinic, cultural center or shopping center there must be at least one specialized parking space.

The parking space for people with disabilities is indicated by sign 6.4 and plate 8.17, as well as special markings

Only cars with a “Disabled” badge are allowed to occupy these seats.

Why are disabled parking lots always occupied by non-disabled people?

There are two reasons:

The most convenient accommodations are provided for drivers and passengers with disabilities. parking spaces.
Parking for disabled people is free.

Previously, parking spaces for the disabled were occupied by all and sundry. A fine of 200 rubles did not frighten anyone. In 2016, the legislation was tightened, and unscrupulous motorists began to carry it in the glove compartment just in case. yellow sign with a wheelchair user. (It is sold absolutely freely and costs mere pennies.) It is unlikely that the inspector will wait for several hours for the driver to check the documents.

But what bigger city And the problem is more acute with parking, the more inventive motorists are. In Moscow, cars with the “Disabled” sign are entered into a separate register, and their owners are issued special parking permits. They give you the right to stand as long as you need, even in paid parking lots. For this reason, car owners buy fake disability certificates.

What threatens those who illegally use the “Disabled” sign and parking lots for people with disabilities?

Violators face fines. In the Code Russian Federation There are three articles on administrative offenses about this:

Article 12.4 on the illegal installation of the “Disabled Person” sign. The fine is 5,000 rubles for individuals, 20,000 rubles for officials and 500,000 rubles for legal entities. Plus the removal of the sign itself.
Article 12.5 on driving a vehicle on which the “Disabled Person” sign is illegally installed. The fine for the driver is 5,000 rubles. Plus confiscation of the sign.
Part 2 of Article 12.19 on violation of the rules for stopping and parking vehicles in places for disabled people. Fine - 5,000 rubles.

Are disabled people really protected on the road?

Despite large fines, people with disabilities constantly face rudeness from able-bodied motorists, and due to imperfect legislation they find themselves in various unpleasant situations.

According to the federal law “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation”, people with health limitations have the right to use free parking. In parking lots located near shopping centers, sports, cultural and entertainment, medical and social institutions, at least 10% of the spaces are allocated for people with disabilities (but not less than one space). Parking spaces for people with disabilities are also provided in the local area.

Parking spaces

Parking spaces for people with disabilities are marked with special markings and an identification sign “Disabled.” The width of the parking space for disabled people is greater than for regular vehicles - 3.5 meters. This is done so that the driver or passenger can freely open the car door when leaving.

INAWESOME! According to the Traffic Rules, the effect of sign 6.4 “Parking” together with the sign 8.17 “Disabled persons” applies only to motorized strollers and cars driven by disabled people of group I or II or transporting such disabled people or disabled children.

You must always have a document with you confirming your disability. This mandatory requirement came into force in February 2016. Reason - Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 23-PP “On Amendments to the Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation.”

For parking in a place where there is no special sign or marking, the beneficiary or his representative will have to pay on a general basis.

Disabled person parking permit

A parking permit for a disabled person gives the right to free 24-hour parking in places marked with sign 6.4 “Parking” together with sign 8.17 “Disabled persons.” This requirement applies only to Moscow and St. Petersburg. The permit will be issued at any multifunctional center (MFC).

Parking fine for disabled people in 2017 - evacuation, in the Moscow region, on the spot, under the sign, amount, in the parking lot, traffic police, how to challenge, how to avoid

Specially designated parking areas are provided to disabled people of groups 1 and 2 and persons transporting them. They are marked with appropriate markings and road signs. Ordinary citizens are prohibited from leaving their cars there - it's rude traffic violation. In case of violation of the Parking for disabled people sign, a fine is provided in the amount of 3 thousand to 5 thousand rubles.

Why are they needed?

As soon as the vehicle enters a parking lot designated for the disabled, the violation is considered to have been committed. Time does not matter - even for a few seconds of parking in a place marked with a “Parking for the Disabled” sign, a fine is imposed on legally. Sanctions are almost impossible to cancel and very difficult to challenge in court.

It is difficult for disabled people to move due to limited physical capabilities. They can also park on usual places, but free areas may be located at a distance from a medical or other institution. For a citizen with special needs, walking even half a block can become a serious problem.

The standards of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Persons with Disabilities” provide for the obligation to organize special parking spaces in all parking lots, municipal and private parking lots, in areas near supermarkets and in similar locations.

10% of all places should be allocated for these needs. Paid parking must have them too

Designating signs

In the traffic rules there are 3 signs that indicate places for the disabled.

Here they are by number:

parking sign (parking space) under No.6.4. It is used with the sign indicated in the second paragraph of this list;
designation “Disabled” – No. 8.17. It is a well-known schematic drawing of a man in a wheelchair in a rectangular frame;
An auxiliary designation outlining the parking area is special marking No. 1.24.3. It looks like a rectangle 1.6 x 0.8 m, inside of which there is a “Disabled” symbol, and the area of the site itself can be delineated by lines.

Legislation

The provisions regarding responsibility for parking in spaces for the disabled, including paid parking, are contained in the following regulations:

and the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons” - provides for the obligation to allocate places;
Art. , Code of Administrative Offenses - sanctions;
the sign for the disabled is provided for by the traffic rules, its number is 8.17, markings are No. 1.24.3.

“Disabled” signs or stickers are installed on cars used by citizens with disabilities or in which they are transported. They look like an image of a wheelchair user in a black frame on a yellow background.

Designating sign

The main parking sign for persons with 1st and 2nd disability groups is traffic sign No. 8.17 - a rectangle with a wheelchair user on a white background. Additional road markings 1.24.3 is executed in the same form with lines outlining the area.

Along with these signs, the usual parking sign No. 6.4 (the letter “P” on a blue background) is used in areas provided for these purposes. The “Disabled Person” sign is always located below the “Parking” sign. Sometimes just markup can be used.

Penalties for parking in disabled spaces

Drivers with 1st and 2nd disability groups and persons transporting them can enjoy the privilege of parking vehicles in specially designated spaces. Citizens with group 3 do not have this right.

A fine is imposed in the following cases:

the driver does not have documents confirming his disabled status. This rule has been in effect since 2016; before that, only a sign on the car was enough;
a healthy driver uses a vehicle for personal purposes with a “Disabled” sign;
Colliding with horizontal markings is also considered a violation.

It is also possible to fine people with disabilities if they did not comply with formalities when parking (there is no ID, certificate, etc.). Situations often arise when there is a disabled person in the car, but there is no sign installed on it. For example, when a disabled person asked a friend to take him to the doctor and in similar cases. This is not a violation, but a citizen must have an identification card or medical certificate with him, otherwise he will be fined.

Size

In case of violation of Parking for disabled people signs, a fine is imposed in the amounts indicated below according to the type of offense and the amount of penalties provided for in the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

parking or parking not according to the rules - a monetary penalty in the amount of 5 thousand rubles. (v. 12.19);
car evacuation. At the same time, financial penalties are also imposed. The driver will also have to pay for impound parking and tow truck services;
illegal equipment vehicle sticker or other images with the sign “Disabled” and driving such a vehicle - a fine of 3 to 5 thousand rubles. according to Art. 12.4 and 12.5. In the Moscow region there are increased rates, so you can count on the maximum sanction there;
legal entities that fail to provide designated spaces for disabled people in their parking lots or in areas adjacent to their establishments intended for parking (parking) of vehicles are punishable by a fine of 50 thousand rubles. (v. 5.43).

The fine is the same amount for parking spaces and for any other areas marked with the indicated signs. It does not depend on the time of arrival and the location of the car in a place designated for disabled people.

Evacuation

A car illegally parked under a concession sign may be towed and taken to an impound lot and at the same time be subject to monetary penalties. This is often practiced in federal cities, especially in Moscow. The car can be taken away if there is a violation of “Violations of parking rules and obstruction” and “Parking in spaces for the disabled.”

Cars can be seized not only for stopping (parking) in special places, but also for creating obstacles. They mean difficulties for a disabled person that prevent him from freely getting out of a parked car. That is, even if we stop at preferential location, but in such a way that it violates the freedom of movement of a disabled person, then the car can be towed.

An important point: it is prohibited to evacuate if the driver came up and corrected the violation, that is, vacated the occupied space (clause 1.1).

Is it possible to reduce the amount

If the driver manages to make payment within 20 days from the date of the decision, the amount of the fine is reduced by 50%.

Often citizens do not even suspect that sanctions have been imposed on them. In order to receive timely information about them, you can periodically visit the traffic police website, where you can check whether there are fines based on your passport details or car details. It is also possible to link your bank cards to the service of this institution. Some banks offer customers mobile programs that notify them via SMS about administrative penalties.

If you find out about a fine in time, you can pay it without penalty or appeal it in a timely manner. If, in violation of the Parking for the Disabled sign, a fine is imposed and a resolution (protocol) is drawn up, then it can be challenged according to the rules, established by law for office work on administrative offenses (). A citizen can do this within 10 days from the date of issue of the resolution.

There is one caveat regarding this period: in fact, it is counted from the day a copy of the decision was delivered to the violator, therefore all envelopes and documents with marks of delivery must be preserved - these are the grounds for a request to extend the time for challenging.

You can write a complaint to the traffic police or go straight to court (no state fee is charged).

Before challenging a parking fine for disabled people, you need to collect the following package of documents:

copy of the resolution;
statement of claim (complaint);
petition to extend the time limit for challenging.

Evidence of innocence (record of the registrar, etc.) must be attached to the documentation. Maximum term consideration of the case by the court - 2 months, traffic police - 10 days.

Parking requirements

Proper design of places for disabled people is relevant for the administration of retail facilities, parking lots and for persons who are required by law to do this.

In the yard

The law provides for the possibility of allocating parking spaces for disabled people in courtyards apartment buildings. To do this, you need a decision from the residents’ meeting (). According to SNiP 30-01, the plot must have an area of 11.5 square meters. m and a width of 3.5 m. It is designed in the usual way: signs and markings.

If difficulties arise, you can contact the traffic police or road services.

The increased size of the space is due to the need to ensure unloading of the stroller and access to the car without hitting other vehicles.

Near the supermarket

In the case of sites near apartment buildings, places are allocated based on the decision of the meeting of apartment owners. This is not an obligation - parking may not be allocated if residents so decide, and there are no sanctions for this.

The situation is completely different with parking lots near supermarkets, shopping centers and similar facilities - their owners are required by law to allocate every 10th space for cars of disabled people or vehicles carrying citizens with this status. This is especially true for large cities, for example, in Moscow there are fines legal entities for violating this rule reaches 50 thousand rubles.

Supermarket staff cannot fine drivers who break parking rules. The maximum they can do themselves is to ask the driver to drive away. occupied space. But store employees also have the right to call the traffic police and report a violation or transfer information from security cameras to this agency for response.

Who can use

Only the following categories of citizens can park and leave cars in specially designated places for disabled people, indicated by signs and markings:

citizens with 1st or 2nd group disability (those with 3rd group do not have this right);
drivers of cars transporting disabled people.

Drivers are often interested in the question of how to challenge a fine for parking for disabled people if a disabled citizen is transported by a taxi or any other vehicle without a “Disabled Person” sign. This is not a violation, but a citizen must have a pension certificate or certificate with him medical institution, confirming its status. If you do not have such documents with you, then the traffic police officer has the right to issue a fine to the citizen, even if he really is disabled.

Difficulties in using the “Disabled” sticker

The law does not oblige drivers to put a “Disabled Person” sign on their car. It is installed at the request of the driver; accordingly, traffic police officers do not have the right to fine for its absence. Often such stickers are purchased by healthy citizens specifically to park in preferential spaces.

It should be taken into account that a traffic police officer can easily and quickly check whether the driver has a disability, and if he does not, then issue a fine, which in the Moscow region is maximum - 5 thousand rubles.

Carrying out an inspection

To check the authenticity of a disabled person’s ID, the inspector can make a request or call the Pension fund. To do this, he only needs the citizen’s passport data or details of the documents presented. If the license is invalid, then the driver who used it faces not only a monetary penalty, but also a criminal case for forgery of documents.
