Paid parking during opening hours. Rules for using paid parking

Having a personal vehicle is undoubtedly convenient, but at the same time, the owner also faces some problems. The "most sick" of them is parking. This issue is especially acute in large cities, where not only problems with parking, but also with movement - traffic jams have often caused delays. Meanwhile, parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays is a whole procedure, especially for those who have never encountered all the nuances of this innovation.

Weekend parking regulations

Not so long ago, the owner of the vehicle could safely leave the car in a suitable place for this, and no one even thought about paying for such actions. But, only until the situation became critical - car owners were forced to park their iron horses even on the sidewalks. In other words, the situation has become critical for both motorists and pedestrians. Therefore, the rules for parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays have changed somewhat. All this is regulated by Decree No. 289-PP of May 17, 2013.

Paid parking has its advantages and solves several pressing problems, namely:

there are no more cars on the sidewalks, and pedestrians can move freely without fear for their safety;
on the central highways there are no such large-scale traffic jams as before, as there are no more cars that block the passage;
paid parking is not only an opportunity to leave the car in a suitable place for this, it is also the protection of the vehicle.

Of course, not everyone liked this innovation, so not everyone is eager to pay for parking. Therefore, at first, enterprising drivers began to leave their cars in the yards of residential buildings, since the law on payment did not apply to these territories. But, the residents of the houses acted even smarter - they installed barriers that do not allow other people's vehicles to pass through. The parking space itself belongs to the roadway, it can be adjacent to the roadway, sidewalk and even overpass. Any parking area has special equipment, which, in fact, regulates the process of locating cars.

Parking rules in the center

Parking in the center of Moscow can be both paid and free. So, from December 2013 to 2019 inclusive, there is a promotion according to which parking spaces are free in some locations in the center of Moscow. Also, services of this kind are valid for certain privileged categories of citizens.

The area where paid city parking begins in Moscow (on weekends and weekdays) is equipped with a special sign. Therefore, the owner of the car will know that he can be completely calm for the safety of his vehicle - special cameras and security are the guarantor of this.

It is impossible to say for sure how much parking in Moscow costs on weekends, since pricing will depend on a particular place. However, for people who work in a given location (offices, municipal buildings, various establishments), they can count on a discount. It should be noted that when parking a vehicle, it is not at all necessary to pay immediately - the first quarter of an hour the service is free. This applies to both the center of the capital and the sleeping areas. But, the subsequent rental time of the place must be paid within half an hour, otherwise a fine will be charged.

City parking in Moscow on weekends in the center has several features:

before you “drive” the car into the parking lot, you need to clarify whether it is for general use or refers to a specific building, since there are a fairly large number of offices in the center;
if you are an employee of a nearby building, you can count on a discount, but you also need to check its size directly with the parking administrator.

The work of parking lots on weekends in Moscow is carried out exactly according to the same schedule as on weekdays. The difference is only in the cost of such a service. In general, it should be said that the algorithm for using paid parking in the center is almost the same as in residential areas - the rules that govern this service are the same for everyone.

Parking in residential areas

As soon as paid parking was introduced in Moscow on weekends and weekdays, many car owners found a kind of "life hack" - to leave their vehicles in the yards of apartment buildings. Residents did not like this and special barriers were installed that allowed only residents of the house to park their cars.

According to the innovations, parking in Moscow on weekends will also be paid, but the rate will be somewhat less than in the same center and other areas of the capital. Thus, the same regulations apply to sleeping areas as to other areas of the city.

To get the right to preferential parking in sleeping places, you will have to confirm this with the following documents:

documents that confirm the identity of the applicant;
extract from the house book;
documents for the vehicle itself;
consent of the owners of the apartment, if the resident is a shared owner of the dwelling. If it is a lease, you must provide a copy of the lease agreement.

This agreement can be renewed every year.

Parking Features

Paid parking is, in fact, a private service, therefore, in addition to the general rules that have been adopted by Decree No. 289, there are also requirements. Paid parking lots, which are located in parking lots (above-ground or underground) of shopping and entertainment centers, practice payment by the hour. But, even in this case, you can get a discount if you buy something in the mall or use any services. Failure to follow the rules will result in a fine.

Payment for a parking space must be made within fifteen minutes after the driver has entered the parking lot. If the paid time is up, the driver must vacate the seat within ten minutes. In the event that the owner does not do this, this entails the following consequences:

a fine may be charged;
the vehicle can be poisoned to a penalty parking lot.

Therefore, if the motorist has any benefits, then they must be presented to the parking administrator in advance. All, without exception, parking lots have signs that indicate which days or times you can leave your vehicle for free. There is free parking in Moscow on weekends. The service is provided on Sundays and public holidays. It should be noted that on Saturday you can leave your car under supervision completely free of charge only if Friday was a public holiday. The time of free parking in Moscow on weekends will depend on the owner himself, but in most cases it is from 8 am to 11 pm.

For reference, not everyone can take advantage of such privileges. So, if the owner of the vehicle has three unpaid fines, then he will not be able to leave the car for free at any parking lot. Moreover, upon arrival, he will be issued another fine. These are the general rules for paid parking in Moscow on weekends.

Parking cost

How is weekend parking paid? There is no definitive general answer here. The cost of parking in Moscow on weekends will depend on the specific area. Also, pricing will depend on the duration of the car's stay in the parking lot, the availability of benefits and other bonus programs. As a rule, a private car park installs a special information board at the entrance, which indicates how many free spaces and what the cost of the service is. According to the Decree of the Government of December 03, 2013 (No. 798-PP), payment for parking in Moscow on weekends, provided that the car is parked around the clock, is charged as follows:

80 rubles per hour if the parking is located in the area of the Boulevard Ring;
60 rubles per hour if the parking zone is located on the Garden Ring, as well as in the outer side zone from Boulevard to Garden Ring.

However, rates are subject to change depending on how busy the car park is, the exact time of the day, and the rules set by the owner. So, parking in Moscow on weekends in 2019 can be charged as follows:

inside the Garden Ring from 8 am to 10 pm a differentiated tariff is practiced - after the first hour the cost increases;
on some streets of the Third Transport Ring, the tariff is 60 rubles per hour.
On some streets of the Boulevard Ring, the first half hour of parking can cost 50 rubles per hour, after which the rate increases by about three times.

In sleeping areas, there is a much more “sparing” tariff - 40 rubles per hour, but here, too, tariffs may vary, depending on the specific area, time of day and the owner of the parking lot. However, there is one advantage here - residents of municipal areas in which paid parking is located have the right to leave their vehicle in the parking lot free of charge from eight in the evening to eight in the morning. For such a right to take place, a resident must obtain a special parking permit, which is valid for three years. But, at the request of the car owner, such a document can be issued for a shorter period - one or two years. Such coupons are issued according to the type "no more than two per apartment."

You can also save money by purchasing a subscription. In this case, the price of parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays will be lower than when paying the hourly rate:

Attention! In the zone of increased tariff (200 rubles per hour) parking passes are not valid! You can view the list of increased fare zones at.

Thus, when paying for the year, the owner of the car saves a pretty decent amount, or simply gets two months for free. Important - annual and monthly subscriptions in the zone of the Moscow International Business Center ("Moscow-City") in 2019 are not valid. No one can say for sure how things will be in the next year, 2019, but there is an assumption that the situation will not change. In addition, it should be noted that parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays is not free here. Perhaps this will appear in the future, but it is unlikely.

Free parking

There are exceptions to every rule, and for certain categories of citizens, parking in Moscow on weekends and weekdays can be completely free, without restrictions. So, paid parking in Moscow on weekends will be provided free of charge for the following categories of citizens:

employees of operational services, namely firefighters, policemen, ambulance and emergency medical teams, emergency services, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Federal Security Service, investigating authorities, military traffic police;
participants of the Second World War, minor prisoners of concentration camps, participants in the defense of Moscow in the Second World War.
For people who belong to the categories described above, parking is always free, not only on holidays and weekends.
Preferential categories
In addition to the above cases, the following citizens receive parking benefits:
disabled people - parking is free in specially designated places (as a rule, there is a special marking);
parents of large families;
adoptive parents in large families;
owners of electric vehicles and two-wheeled vehicles;
residents in municipal (dormitory) areas.

Separately, it should be clarified regarding such a privileged category as residents. They are:

apartment owner;
people who are registered at a particular address;
people who have a lease at the address for at least a year.

It is impossible to figure out unambiguously whether parking is free on weekends. Everything will depend on the area, the social status of the owner of the car and the time of day.

Payment Methods

There are several ways to pay for parking space rental:

through the parking meter, which is installed directly in the parking lot. But, this method is only advisable if there is a parking or bank card;
through the application (here for apple, and here for android.)
replenishment of a virtual account - when parking, a certain amount of money will simply be automatically debited;
through a single portal "Moscow Parking Space". Here you need to register and all further operations will be carried out through your personal account.
by transferring the annual subscription fee.

In other words, paying for the service is very simple and takes just a couple of minutes.

Parking and parks

For those drivers who use the vehicle only when traveling long distances (for example, if a person lives outside the city, and in his car he only gets to the city, and then uses public transport), there is an alternative - intercept parking. They are located, as a rule, near metro stations, bus stops and other public transport congestion places.

Such parking has its advantages, namely:

much cheaper than regular paid parking lots;
work around the clock and seven days a week;
daily billing is used - in the morning they leave the car, in the evening they pick it up.

Such parking lots are subordinated to the Moscow Metro. In order to use this service, you will need to issue a special card. It should be noted that if the owner loses such a certificate, he will have to pay a fine for issuing a new one - 500 rubles.

Peculiarities

At the same time, it should be noted that intercepting parking lots are not suitable for all vehicles, namely:

motorcycles;
mopeds;
trucks;
trucks;
light vehicles with trailers;
defective, which is in tow;
without registration marks;
a vehicle weighing more than 3.5 tons or with more than 8 seats.

You should also pay attention to the following factors:

on the territory of the intercepting parking, their own rules of movement apply - the speed is not more than 10 km / h;
regardless of the location of the parking lot, they have the same tariff and working hours;
an incomplete hour of using a parking space is still paid at the full rate;
You can pay for services only on the territory of the park and ride itself;
information about tariffs can be found on the facade of the building or check with the controller;
in case of loss of the card, you must immediately notify the parking attendant;
bicycle owners can park for free.

It should also be noted that the Met is not responsible for vehicles. Also, there is no question of an agreement on a storage agreement. However, such parking lots are equipped with CCTV cameras and there is a security guard on the territory.

Terms of use

Using the interceptor is very simple and consists of the following algorithm of actions:

before entering, you must press a special button on the counter. After that, the owner receives a special card;
when leaving the parking lot, you should pay for the service - a card is inserted into the rack and the amount is automatically debited from it, according to the established tariff. After payment, the barrier automatically rises and the exit is free;
when using a free fare, you must register your trips in a special terminal (there can be no more than two).

You can get acquainted with the localization of intercepting parking lots on the metro-parking.ru website.

Price

There are three tariffs in total, they are the same for all park-and-ride parking lots in the capital:

Parking and parks are a great alternative for those who only use their car in the morning and evening.

Car evacuation from parking

In the event that the owner of the vehicle violates the rules for using a parking space, the car may be towed, and the driver himself may receive a fine. You can find out exactly about the rules of use and the consequences of violations of these instructions on the State Services website.

There are several general rules for violation of which a car can be evacuated to a penalty area:

for stopping at the turn before and after the parking zone;
at the pedestrian crossing before entering / leaving the parking lot;
when parking in the second row;
on a nearby sidewalk;
on a nearby safety island;
if the car is parked in a place for the disabled, but does not have a corresponding sticker;
if the car is parked in such a way that other cars cannot leave / enter.

Fine

If the owner of the car nevertheless violated the rules, then you will have to pay a fine and only then pick up your vehicle. As a rule, a notification of the accrual of a sanction comes by mail to the specified registration address. However, if the owner subscribed via SMS, then the message comes immediately with the following information - the address of the penalty area, the phone number of the traffic police.

The amount of the fine is regulated by the Rules of the Road and the regulations established by the parking lot itself. It should be noted that in addition to the amount of recovery, the owner of the vehicle will also have to pay the cost of evacuation, transportation and storage. You can pay the fine at any branch of the bank or through the terminal.

Complaints

If the owner of the car does not agree with the accrual of a fine, or if the actions of the parking staff and the traffic police really contain violations, then he has the right to file a complaint. You can download a sample from our website.

The complaint should be filed with the court, but before that the driver must collect evidence that he is not guilty. It could be:

eyewitness testimony;
video files or photos that confirm the correctness of the owner.

Due to the fact that there may not be witnesses, it is better to leave the DVR in the car turned on.

In general, the use of parking spaces in the capital is a rather convenient service. You can find out how parking lots in Moscow work on weekends, their tariffs and opening hours on the Goslug website or on a special service. In addition, there are special applications for smartphone owners. With the help of them, you can also find out which parking lots in Moscow are free on weekends, how they work and their rates.

Due to the increase in the number of cars owned by city residents, congestion in the central parts has become a real problem, especially when it comes to large metropolitan areas such as Moscow.

The thing is that during the design of the metropolitan infrastructure, no one could even imagine how many cars it would have to pass through itself every day. That is why the problem of parking has become so acute in recent years. In response to it, the authorities in 2013 issued a document approving the rules for paid parking in the center of Moscow.

As part of this program, it is planned to turn the capital into a city that is comfortable for both drivers and pedestrians. For this, special sites were established, including underground parking in the center. The number of such zones is constantly increasing and growing, so all Muscovites and visitors should know and follow the parking rules in the center of Moscow.

Social parking

Despite the fact that there are fewer places on the map of the capital where you will not be required to pay money for an abandoned car, this is still possible near a number of social facilities. These include:

hospitals;
maternity hospital;
temples;
polyclinics.

Also, since 2013, parking in the center of Moscow remains free on weekends (although only Sundays are meant), holidays and at night.

Free parking in the center of Moscow

The introduction of parking fees has caused a strong reaction among Muscovites, many of whom are looking for all sorts of ways to cheat and not part with their hard-earned finances. To do this, numbers are closed and covered over, cars are placed at a certain angle so that the fixing cameras cannot read them.

However, the money for putting the car in the center of the capital will not be demanded from you everywhere and not always. In addition to the already mentioned social parking lots, there are also free parking spaces in the capital. You can view information about them in a special application on iTunes, which shows where you can park your car for free in the center.

Are there any other legal ways to avoid paying?

park only on certain days (weekends, holidays), and the rest of the time change to public transport;
use the services of "intercepting" parking lots located near metro stations. They suggest that during the day you will leave the car, changing to underground transport, and pick it up in the evening after work;
choose parking places somewhere in alleys or yards. But there are fewer and fewer such opportunities, since the inhabitants of the houses, for the most part, equipped the entrances with barriers;
transfer to electric cars, which are allowed to park absolutely free of charge;
belong to categories of citizens with certain privileges. These are emergency workers traveling in specialized vehicles, parents with many children and other beneficiaries.

It's important to know! Even paid parking has a certain time during which you can not pay for its use. I wonder how many minutes you have at your disposal? Drivers are given exactly a quarter of an hour, which can be freely left the car.

Paid parking in the center of Moscow

The rules mentioned at the beginning of the article designate paid parking as an object of urban improvement. Their calling:

make it easier for pedestrians to move around the capital;
unload transport routes;
organize the places of stops of passenger transport.

These zones should be ordered, marked and organized in a special way, and motorists should be guided by them when entering such a parking lot.

The sign "P" acts as a designation, under it is a symbol depicting coins. Additionally, a sign can be installed at the entrance: “You are entering a paid parking lot”. In some cases, the paid parking area may be equipped with additional markings.

It's important to know! If time frames are indicated under the “P” sign, then such a zone is paid only at certain times of the day. How much is paid parking in the center of Moscow? Most often, the paid mode begins to operate from 8:00 to 22:00.

Parking cost

The Moscow Government is in charge of approving and reviewing the cost of paid parking. In its decisions, it is guided by the congestion of the streets and the priority rights to the use of parking spaces by local residents.

After changes were made on 02.12.2016, the maximum price for parking is 200 rubles per hour. It is she who has to pay for the "joy" to leave your car on the busiest streets of the capital. On some of them, the cost is calculated at a differentiated rate (increases for each next hour, the cost at night is calculated at a separate rate). At the same time, overnight parking is not free everywhere.

Note that the authorities left for the townspeople and the possibility of saving. To do this, they are invited to buy a monthly or annual subscription.

The diagram below will help you better understand the current tariffs.

Parking in the center of Moscow on weekends

The initiative of the Government that on weekends and on holidays all paid parking zones become free of charge has taken root and received the enthusiastic approval of motorists. Therefore, everyone can leave the car with impunity in the center of the capital on the following days from 00 to 24, i.е. for a day:

public holidays;
Sundays
weekends officially transferred to weekdays;
following the Sabbath holiday.

It should be noted that on Saturday (not a holiday), according to the Government, the flow of cars is comparable to weekdays, so here everything happens according to the standard scheme.

It's important to know! The rule "Free parking on the weekend" applies to all categories of owners of personal cars, except for those who have unpaid traffic police fines. Such negligent motorists will be able to regain the right to free parking only after paying off their debts.

A list of streets where overnight parking does not require payment, as well as a list of public holidays, can be found at http://parking.mos.ru.

How to pay for parking in the center of Moscow

There are several ways to pay for a used parking space:

parking meter The easiest way, even a schoolboy will understand how to use this device. The main hitch is that there are not too many of them in the capital yet;
through a special application that debits certain amounts from your parking account;
via SMS;
through QIWI terminals.

Note that if you decide to ignore the need to pay, liability is inevitable. Fine for unpaid parking - 2500 rubles.

Parking service is a useful service that unloads the capital and improves the situation on the roads. Due to the abundance of well-maintained parking lots, a variety of payment methods, using it does not cause difficulties for motorists.

In the capital, there is an acute problem with traffic jams. The high congestion of the streets has led to the need for an urgent solution to the issue. Commercial paid parking lots did not give the proper result, so the city administration took over this function. The replacement of the owner, the definition of preferential categories of citizens and special time periods gave good results.

The main reason for the development of paid car parks in the capital was the high traffic congestion. The transfer of tow trucks to private organizations, the high cost of a parking space is becoming a reason for residents to use public transport more often. However, this is not always convenient.

If the use of public transport is not suitable for certain reasons, then a parking space is required. Otherwise, you will have to look for a place for the car for a long time, leave it in the yards (damage is possible) or in prohibited places (evacuation is possible).

For this, so-called intercepting car parks were developed. They are located near major metro stations. Their purpose is to leave the car and continue the journey by metro.

Rules for paid (intercepting) parking:

For citizens who use the metro (2 trips), the cost of using the seat is not charged from 06.00 to 21.30.
For citizens who do not use the metro, the cost of a seat is 50 rubles for 60 minutes.
At night (from 06.00 to 21.30) the cost of a seat is 100 rubles for every 60 minutes.

The use of such parking lots helps free the main highways from traffic jams.

Paid parking zones

Paid city parking lots are located not only near the metro. A whole network of parking lots has been organized in the capital. The city is divided into paid parking zones. Each of them provides its own pricing policy. The amount of payment is established by the regulation of the city.

Since the proceeds from parking lots go to the budget of the municipality, the division into zones allows them to be divided proportionally between the budgets of the city districts. Parking in the center has the maximum cost.

More detailed information can be found on the map. A map of paid parking lots is available on the official website of the Moscow parking lot parking.mos.ru.

Parking cost

Legislators of the capital decided to build paid parking lots in 2013. The first reaction of Muscovites was negative. The legislative initiative was perceived as a way to extort money.

Currently, payment for parking in Moscow is perceived calmly. It is possible to leave the car without worrying about its safety, without wasting time to find a parking space.

The amount of payment is set depending on the area of paid parking. The law establishes 6 zones.

№	Territory	Time	Price
1	Zone 1 (center)	from 8.00 to 20.00 from 20.00 to 8.00	50 rub. in 30 minutes 150 rubles/hour subsequent time
2	Zone 2	around the clock	200 rubles/hour
3	Zone 3	around the clock	80 rubles/hour
4	Zone 4	from 8.00 to 20.00 from 20.00 to 8.00	60 rub. for the first hour 100 rubles/hour subsequent time
5	Zone 5	around the clock	60 rubles/hour
6	Zone 6	around the clock	40 rubles/hour

The law provides for a system of discounts for office workers and district residents. There is a discounted payment option that includes a monthly parking pass. Its cost per month is much lower than the hourly rate. Moreover, the time spent in the parking lot is not counted for the season ticket holders.

How long can you stay in paid parking for free? Motorists do not have to pay for a seat immediately upon arrival. You can use paid parking in Moscow without paying a fee for 15 minutes.

After the specified time, payment must be made. Otherwise, penalties apply.

Since 2012, the fine for non-payment of a parking space has been 2,500 rubles. Failure to pay it will result in an additional penalty of 1,000 rubles. When committing a repeated offense, the amount of the fine increases to 5,000 rubles.

For debtors-beneficiaries, punishment is provided, including a ban on free use of parking lots. Long-term non-payment may be grounds for imposing a ban on leaving the country.

Payment Methods

For the convenience of motorists, there are several ways to pay for parking in Moscow. Each citizen can choose the most convenient for himself:

personal account on the web portal of Parking in Moscow parking.mos.ru;
through a parking meter;
via SMS;
Qiwi terminals.

Every resident of the city who is registered on the portal can pay for a parking space through a personal account. The personal account is linked to the mobile phone number. The login for entering will be the personal mobile number, and the password is sent in an SMS message after the registration application is submitted.

To make a payment, you need to top up your account. To pay, you need the "Park" button.

When using the portal, there is a per-minute billing. If the parking time is less than what was paid, the money is returned to the payer's account.

When using a mobile application to pay for a parking space, you must carefully enter the license plate. Otherwise, the owner of the car may be fined for non-payment. The number is entered in full.

Payment through the parking meter is made directly at the parking lot. The cost of parking is debited from the bank card.

To make a payment via SMS, you need to send a message to the short number 7757 with the following text: parking number * license plate of the car * amount of time spent in the parking lot.

If you need to extend the parking period, you need to send an additional message with the text: the number of hours by which you need to increase the payment.

You can stop using a parking space early. To do this, send a message: S or C.

Qiwi terminals are the only way to pay for a seat in cash.

Paying for parking on weekends and holidays

A bonus for car enthusiasts was free parking on Sundays. This rule was established in 2014. Now it is possible for residents of the city and its guests to spend their leisure time in recreation areas and shopping centers on Sunday, shopping and other recreational activities, without paying for parking.

Previously, such an opportunity was provided on Saturday. However, a large number of citizens working on this day of the week forced the legislator to refuse to provide benefits.

In addition to Sundays, non-working days off are declared free parking days in Moscow. What is considered a holiday? The laws of the city determine annually on which days the fee is not charged.

Motorists who have unpaid fines for traffic violations, and not only for a parking space, are not entitled to free parking in the paid parking area on weekends.

Which citizen does not pay for parking

Parking in the city is an expensive pleasure, which can create difficulties for some categories of citizens. Therefore, the law provides for a list of beneficiaries. Free parking for Moscow residents is available for:

large families;
disabled people;
veterans;
residents;
owners of electric vehicles and motorcycles.

Free parking lots in the center of Moscow and any other districts are provided for families with many children. However, the fact that citizens have three or more children is not enough to use the benefit. They must apply to the department of social protection to obtain a certificate of a large family. Validity of the parking permit is 1 year.

Parking allowance is only available with a valid ID. Members of a family that has the status of a large family can get permission to park one car for free. It must be owned by the father or mother.

A disabled child/legal guardian of a disabled child can issue a parking permit for a vehicle that they own. It gives the right to use Moscow parking on weekdays and weekends free of charge in places for the disabled. All other places are provided on a general basis.

The provisions about which are currently teeming with contradictions and even anti-constitutional provisions, is commendable. However, it is not clear why there are so many shortcomings in the long-awaited 40-page treatise.

Moment one - free parking at night. The bill provides that from 20:00 to 8:00 in paid areas you don’t have to pay for parking (the main thing is not to oversleep the “morning divorce”). Currently, only residents, that is, residents of houses in a paid zone, can park their cars for free at night. True, residents still buy subscriptions (for 3,000 rubles a year), because it is impossible to predict that the car will always have to be parked only strictly from eight o'clock in the evening, so free parking only for residents of the area was initially a strange situation. But what about those who leave the car on the territory of the paid zone only at night - because of night work, for example - and bought a full-fledged annual subscription for this?

The fifth moment - is allowed not immediately, but within a day after the end of the parking session. It is not entirely clear why it is proposed to defer payment - taking care of the driver who forgot his wallet at home?

Sixth moment - local authorities can draw up lists of persons for whom parking is free (in addition to traditional beneficiaries, that is, veterans, disabled people, etc.) With this situation, the widest scope for corruption opens up.

The seventh moment is the regulation of parking regulations at the federal and local levels. Federal authorities determine the maximum rate for paid parking, which must be adjusted annually, and local authorities determine the boundaries of paid zones and rates.

The eighth moment - for an apartment, depending on the provision of residents with an area in the houses, 1-2 parking spaces are required. And we are talking about both new buildings, where something else can be changed at the design and construction stage, and the old fund.

The ninth moment - guest parking. Now residents of paid zones are faced with the fact that friends or relatives who come to visit them are forced to pay for parking - 40-80 rubles per hour. The bill suggests that the authorities should provide guest parking at the rate of 40 spaces per 1,000 residents 200 meters from the house. However, it is not explained in any way what is meant by these parking lots - will they be free, with more loyal rates, or just additional parking area? And how will the "guests" be registered?

The tenth moment concerns . The bill contains a long-awaited requirement to ban tow trucks from taking away cars parked in violation of traffic rules, but not obstructing the passage. Now car owners regularly complain that tow trucks, in order to exceed the plan, grab those cars that are easier to load, even if they just drove a wheel over the marking line, and not those that really interfere with traffic. But again, it is not spelled out how “traffic interference” is defined, which leaves room for personal interpretations of the tow truck driver and the traffic police inspector.

The eleventh moment - the parking lot. The bill spells out beautiful requirements for impound lots: they must be lit, fenced, equipped with video surveillance cameras, have premises for receiving visitors and numbered places for cars. This, of course, is wonderful and even beautiful, but for some reason the most important requirements for people were not presented to impound lots - that they should not be in the middle of nowhere, where the unfortunate delinquent car owner has to walk along the railway tracks, risking being robbed and even killed. And in order to pay the fine and the imposed evacuation service, it was possible without a commission, which is required by non-alternative devices at impound lots.

The cost of parking on weekends in Moscow has its own characteristics.

Previously, parking in the center of the capital was free of charge: there were few cars, and they did not interfere with either pedestrians or other road users.

Today, most parking lots have become paid. But on weekends and holidays, there are still indulgences. You will learn about which days you can not pay for parking in this article.

Payment

Many motorists were distrustful of the first paid parking lots, considering them another attempt to lure money away, but this is not entirely true.

Such parking is a specially equipped place where you can safely leave the car for a while, without fear that they will try to steal it or interfere with someone. They are equipped with video cameras and devices for recording everything that happens inside.

Prices vary by location:

inside the Garden Ring, the cost of an hour stop will be 80 rubles;
inside the Boulevard Ring - 60 rubles;
inside TTK-40 rubles.

Discount systems are provided for those working in nearby offices: for example, if a car owner uses parking inside the Garden Ring every day for a month, he will pay only 16 thousand rubles, for a year - 160 thousand rubles, the Boulevard Ring will come out cheaper - 12 and 120 thousand rubles, respectively .

At the same time, you can leave the car at least for a day: the time spent is not recorded.

Note: some groups of citizens can use parking for free: they include disabled people, families with many children, participants in the Great Patriotic War and some other categories of citizens.

For residents of neighboring houses who use parking lots at night, the annual amount will be only 3,000 rubles if parking is carried out during the daytime. For night time - from 20:00 to 08:00 - no payment is made at all. However, only 2 permits can be issued per family.

On the weekend

Ordinary car owners can also count on concessions. For example, they do not have to pay for a whole hour immediately upon arrival: they can stand for the first quarter of an hour for free. However, you need to pay the rest of the time within half an hour from the moment of arrival, otherwise a fine will be charged..

Also, some parking lots provide free places for the night: you can check the list and find out the specific parking time in advance on the website.

But many more Muscovites were delighted with the decision to make parking free on weekends and holidays. This is due to the holding of various events and visits to the capital familiar to many families after hours. After all, payment for one day (6-8 hours) can cost 500-700 rubles.

Since 2013, parking is free on Sundays of any month all year round. However, on Saturdays you will have to pay as usual.

Initially, both weekends were free, but due to the fact that many offices in the center of Moscow worked on these days, and the parking lots were occupied by employees, and not by vacationing families, the decision had to be abandoned.

You can also count on a free seat on holidays officially declared days off: on May holidays, New Year holidays, on March 8 and February 23, on Russia Day and National Unity Day. This also includes all weekends associated with holidays and weekends postponed because of them.

Note: Saturday will be a free day only if the Friday before it falls on an official holiday: for example, if March 8 was celebrated on Friday, then on March 9, on Saturday, it will be possible to leave the car without payment.

You can find out about "free" days in advance on the websites, they will also be indicated on warning signs before entering the parking area.

Peculiarities

All car parks are equipped with special signs telling you when the parking fee will not be charged. If the motorist nevertheless pays the fee, it will be returned to him.

However, not everyone will be able to take advantage of the offer. If the owner has a lot of unpaid fines (more than 3 for this car), he will have to pay the parking in full, even if he arrived on the right day, otherwise he will be issued another fine.

You can check the presence of unpaid fines on the website of the traffic police or the State Services, as well as through a special mobile application. (For information on how to check fines for unpaid parking in Moscow, read.)
