Parking for disabled people: who can occupy it and under what circumstances. Parking spaces for disabled people

As in any tolerant European country, so in our state there are special benefits for parking personal vehicles of disabled people. Most often, such sites are organized in parking lots near public enterprises and in the courtyards of residential buildings. These special parking areas are indicated by a sign: “Parking for the disabled”

Who has the right to park in disabled spaces?

Not all vehicle owners know who, according to the law, can park their car under a special sign. In accordance with the traffic rules, preferential parking for disabled people applies only to the first and second groups. The third disability group does not receive such benefits.

Disabled parking designation

Signs indicating the parking of disabled vehicles from hospitals, clinics and other enterprises are installed no further than 50 meters. Areas for transport of disabled people and their representatives are marked with markings and a special sign in accordance with the traffic regulations.

Sign

The “Disabled Parking” sign consists of two parts. The first is a standard parking sign: a white letter “P” with a blue background around it. Its dimensions are 70cm x 70cm. Also, an additional part is recorded under the sign - a plate: a wheelchair on which a person is sitting. Its dimensions are 35cm x 70cm.

She reiterates that parking spaces are reserved for people with disabilities only. Only motorized wheelchairs are allowed to park, subject to special identification stickers.

Marking

Road markings always follow the sign. Its dimensions are adjusted depending on the area; there are no exact formats. Design is allowed either in white or yellow-black. If the marking is applied, but there is no sign, then it can be ignored.

When installing identification marks, the following rules must be observed:

1. The sign, markings and indicator must be located at the end of the parking lot.
2. It should be placed facing the driver.

Parking spaces for disabled people: standards

Within megacities, markings must be applied twice. Then markings for three ordinary cars are applied to two places allocated for transport of disabled people. This is done when disabled people visit a store at a strictly designated time, and this is necessarily indicated on the sign.

If the markings are applied at an angle to the roadway, then a place for disabled people should be allocated from the edge that is located in the safest area.

The area of ​​parking spaces for disabled people is allocated as follows:

• It is customary to allocate a tenth of the parking area for their vehicles to parking lots located near public places sometimes visited by disabled people.
• Parking lots located near hospitals, clinics, hospitals, and other special institutions, the specificity of which is the musculoskeletal system, should be allocated twice as many spaces as in the previous case, namely 20% of the entire parking area.

If there is a ramp onto the sidewalk, then a ramp must be installed. It should be convenient for entering a parking lot or road:

• the ramp is created by lowering the curb;
• the width of the ramp should be at least 90 cm, preferably more;
• the curb must be in the corner of the parking lot;
• The curb needs to be painted yellow.

The parking space itself, where the vehicle of a person with disabilities should be located, is equipped in a special way:

1. The width of the areas for a car must be at least 3.5 meters. This is 1 meter more than for conventional transport. This increase is due to the fact that the passenger or driver needs to fully open the door. And also to get into the car freely and not create inconvenience for anyone.
2. In the event that two or more spaces are allocated for people with disabilities in a parking lot, they must be located side by side. This doubles the free area between vehicles.

Registration of permission

1. Permission can be obtained in any city, regardless of where you are registered.
2. Registration takes 10 working days. It is valid for one year.
3. Permits are issued by Multifunctional Centers or city service portals.

A parking permit can be issued for vehicles owned by a disabled person or the guardian of a disabled child.

Responsibility for violation of parking rules

The most common traffic violation is parking in disabled spaces. It doesn’t matter whether you noticed the sign or the markings or not, you will have to answer for your actions. Such a violation is not only an immoral act, but also administratively punishable.

More recently, in 2012, the fine for this kind of violation was only 200 rubles. Since the amount is insignificant, drivers shamelessly occupied special parking spaces, causing great inconvenience to people in wheelchairs.

To discipline car owners, the fine amount was increased. But as can be seen from the statistics, this factor does not stop drivers from abandoning their cars where it is convenient for them.

Today, the administrative government of many cities is actively introducing new bills for consideration, for even more stringent measures to punish offenders. The main idea of ​​such bills is that drivers will be deprived of their driver's licenses or will be subject to legal proceedings if they park in a disabled spot.

None of the projects have been adopted yet, but the following system of fines exists:

• an individual is forced to pay 5,000 rubles;
• the official is forced to pay 10,000 - 30,000 rubles;
• a legal entity, in turn, 30,000 - 50,000 rubles.

In addition to a large fine, the car will be unconditionally taken to the impound area. The owner will be able to return the vehicle only after full repayment of the debt.

If the violation was noticed not by a traffic police officer, but by a video recorder, then notification of this may come with a delay. But be that as it may, all fines have their own time frame. And if the time for payment has expired, the amount will gradually increase.

Situations occasionally occur when a disabled person leaves a vehicle in the area covered by the sign, but later receives a notification by mail about the violation. This happens because automatic cameras do not distinguish from the image whether the car has a special sticker or not.

What to do in such a situation:

1. You must contact the phone number (address) indicated on the alert.
2. Provide documents confirming the passenger or driver's disability.

You will be fined if:

• There will be no special identification mark installed on the vehicle. If you are disabled or are transporting one somewhere, you will be fined for parking in a disabled space without a sign;
• If you are disabled or are transporting him on a motorcycle, then parking under the “parking for disabled people” sign is only possible for cars and motorized wheelchairs.

From all of the above, it is clear that people with disabilities in our country can park for free in designated areas. They are indicated by a sign and markings on the asphalt. It is important to remember that you can park in this area if your car has an identification mark and you have a permit confirming your disability.

In general, it is important to remember that the above-mentioned amenities are provided to those people who really need it, so you should not neglect their right and leave your car in the above-mentioned parking spaces.

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

1. “Disabled” is a yellow square with a side of 15 cm and a figure of a wheelchair user inside.
2. “Deaf Driver” is a yellow circle with a diameter of 16 cm, inside of 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 of a 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 on odd days of the month”;
• “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 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons 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:

1. The most convenient parking spaces are allocated for drivers and passengers with disabilities.
2. 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 a yellow sign with a wheelchair user in the glove compartment, just in case. (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 the larger the city and the more acute the problem 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. The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses has three articles about this:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.

Due to the increasing number of questions about where to park the car, if there is a parking sign for the disabled, but there are no markings and its coverage area, I am informing you.

Article 15 of the Federal Law “On Social Protection of Disabled Persons in the Russian Federation” states that at every parking lot (stop) of vehicles, including near social, engineering and transport infrastructure facilities (residential, public and industrial buildings, structures and structures, including those in which physical education and sports organizations, cultural organizations and other organizations are located), recreational places, at least 10 percent of the spaces (but not less than one space) are allocated for parking special vehicles for people with disabilities. The designated parking spaces must not be occupied by other vehicles.

According to GOST R 52289-2004, clause 5.7.5. Sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)” is used to designate areas intended for parking vehicles.

Along with the parking sign, to designate a space for a disabled person, plate 8.17 “Disabled Persons” is used, which indicates that the parking area (or part of it) is reserved for parking vehicles driven by disabled people of groups I and II or transporting such disabled people. (clause 5.9.21)

In addition, appropriate markings can be placed under the parking sign for disabled people, duplicating the road sign. Paragraph 6.2.28 says that marking 1.24.3 is used to designate sections of roads, parking areas (parking spaces), entrances, exits, etc., intended for vehicles driven by disabled people of groups I and II or transporting such disabled people.

The effect of the signs extends to the roadway, roadside, tram tracks, bicycle or pedestrian paths near or above which they are installed. (clause 5.1.3)

Together with the parking sign and the “disabled persons” sign, a sign 8.2.1 “Validity area” can be installed.

Situations

If there are no markings, but there is a parking sign for the disabled, then you must be guided by the approximate dimensions of the parking spaces.

Dimensions of one parking space

The minimum dimensions of one parking space when cars are placed sequentially along the edge of the roadway or the edge of the parking area must be at least 2.5 x 7.5 (2.5 x 6.5 m) m for cars and 3.0 x 11.0 m - for trucks without trailers, with parallel placement of vehicles relative to each other - 2.5 x 5.0 m and 3.5 x 8.5 m, respectively.

Allowed with a minimum passage width of at least 3.0 m (clause 6.2.3 GOST R 52289-2004)

According to SP 59.13330.2012, clause 4.2.4, the marking of a parking space for a disabled person in a wheelchair should be 6.0 x 3.6 m in size, which makes it possible to create a safe area on the side and behind the car - 1.2 m.

Thus, if the markings do not indicate parking spaces, then we take them as a standard space (for parallel placement - 2.5x5 m.). The documents do not indicate where to take the measurement, so the counting is on both sides, that is, 2.5 on one side and 2.5 on the other.

Remember that the driver must be guided by traffic rules, and not by GOST and its wording! You can't park a car in front of the sign, that's for sure.

If there are parking markings for disabled people, but there is no sign, what should you do in this case?

Clause 6.1, road markings establish modes, traffic order, are a means of visual orientation for drivers and can be used either independently or in combination with other technical means of traffic management.

Marking 1.24.3 duplicates the road sign and is a means of visual orientation for drivers. If there is no sign, there is no violation.

Thus, the absence of a sign is a violation of the rules on the part of the land owner, but it does not give an able-bodied person the slightest right to occupy it, trumping legal niceties over a person with disabilities. This unclear interpretation serves to beat the thresholds of the traffic police and convince them of the illegality of receiving a fine.

GOST R 52289-2004. National standard of the Russian Federation. Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guide devices.

SP 59.13330.2012 Accessibility of buildings and structures for people with limited mobility. Updated version of SNiP 35-01-2001.

P.S. I recently observed the following picture: in front of a hypermarket, all parking spaces for disabled people (about 20) were free, except for one. There the disabled person was being loaded into the car. All the drivers suddenly remembered who these places were for. But as soon as they left, the newly arriving drivers, with a feeling of complete confidence that there were no disabled people in the city, quickly filled the voids in just 20 minutes.

How to determine the "Parking" coverage area so as not to evacuate?

One of the ways to optimize traffic on the road network is the competent organization of parking space on the roadway. All drivers are familiar with sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)”. The sign itself does not raise any questions, however, according to GOST, its use is only possible with additional information signs and the definition of the parking zone defined by this sign raises some questions.

Let us consider in detail how to correctly determine the parking space indicated by sign 6.4 in various situations.

Parking parallel to the edge of the roadway

A “Parking” sign installed without a sign with a limited coverage area is valid until the nearest intersection. The “Method of vehicle stowage” sign must always be installed with this sign. This combination can be used to designate a paid parking zone. Do not forget about the prohibition of parking closer than 5 meters to the edge of the roadway being crossed.

Paid parking parallel to the edge of the roadway

Parking in your pocket

To organize parking in a “pocket”, a sign is used with a limitation of the sign’s coverage area and, as noted above, the method of placement must be indicated.

Please note that parking on the edge of the roadway before and after the “pocket” is not prohibited. Parking is permitted in accordance with the general stopping and parking rules. At the same time, parking along the sidewalk line is prohibited, since entering and exiting the pocket will become impossible.

Limited parking area

Disabled parking

If the sign is installed in the direction of travel with the sign 8.17 "Disabled Persons", then parking in the place marked with sign 6.4 is allowed only to disabled people. Blocking the exit, as in the previous case, is prohibited.

Disabled parking

If the sign is installed perpendicular to the direction of travel, it indicates a parking space for the disabled. According to GOST, the width of a parking space for disabled people is 3.6 m, that is, 1.8 m from the place where the sign is installed.

Parking space for disabled people

Parking within the coverage area of ​​signs prohibiting stopping or parking

When it is necessary to organize parking in the coverage area of ​​signs prohibiting stopping or parking, it is allowed to use the “Parking” sign with the obligatory use of the “Validity Area” sign. In this case, the coverage area of ​​the prohibiting signs will be limited to the distance indicated on the sign.

For some reason this point is not reflected in the Traffic Rules and at first glance there is a feeling of contradiction in the signs. The possibility of such a limitation of the coverage area of ​​prohibitory signs is prescribed in GOST.

The coverage area of ​​any of the signs 3.27-3.30 can be reduced by installing repeated signs 3.27-3.30 with plate 8.2.3 at the end of their coverage area (which is preferable) or using plate 8.2.2 or installing another sign from the specified list or installing sign 6.4 " Parking place" with sign 8.2.1 "Area of ​​operation".

Parking for a disabled person: rules, sign operation and fine. Parking available for disabled people

At the moment, in any civilized country, parking spaces are allocated for personal cars of people with disabilities. They are placed near residential buildings, shopping centers, and also in special parking lots. These spaces are marked with a “Disabled Parking” sign. Currently, their number is rapidly increasing, this is due to the growing number of people with disabilities. In our country, people with disabilities are treated with respect and understanding, which is why they build new parking lots and provide other benefits.

Parking design

Seats for disabled people are organized in a different way than regular ones. So, if the width of a regular parking lot should not be less than 2.5 m, then for disabled people it is 3.5 m. This is due to the fact that people with the door fully open should have room to unload the stroller. And only then, when all the manipulations have been completed, you can drive between other vehicles without any problems.

The disabled parking area consists of several spaces in a row. For example, if a parking lot allocates three spaces for people with disabilities, they should be located next to each other. Firstly, it’s much more convenient. Secondly, this will expand the area between cars several times. This will make it easier to perform the maneuver without hitting other cars. If two places are located next to each other, then the total width of this area is reduced by 1 m, while the free path increases by 2 m.

Disabled parking

Car park owners must provide spaces for people with disabilities. If this requirement is ignored, a fine will be paid. According to the law, each parking area must have parking spaces for the disabled.

The Code of Administrative Violations (Code of Administrative Violations) has an article regulating this issue. So, for the lack of parking for disabled people, a fine of 3,000 to 5,000 rubles is imposed. After this came into force, parking lot owners had a choice: constantly pay a fine or create special parking spaces. Most chose the second option, and it is now rare to find a parking lot that does not have an area for people with disabilities.

Number of parking spaces

According to the law, free parking spaces for disabled people must occupy at least 10% of the total number. Usually the area for people with disabilities is located close to the entrance. This place is indicated by a special sign and corresponding markings.

Near businesses and clinics that specialize in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, about 20% of the area is allocated to accommodate parking spaces for the disabled. It is worth noting that the owner himself has the right to decide how many such zones he will have in his parking lot. The main thing is that this amount does not fall below the minimum level.

Politeness is paramount

Parking in a disabled spot is a sign of incivility and disrespect for these people. Signs and markings are always clearly visible from afar, so the reason “didn’t notice” is not relevant here. Even if no one is in this position, and you urgently need to go to college or work, you shouldn’t do this. In any case, it will not be difficult for a healthy person to walk 100-150 meters, but for a disabled person sometimes 10 meters is an insurmountable distance.

In addition, a fine of 5,000 rubles is provided for parking in a disabled spot. It is worth noting that this is the largest fine for illegal parking. Traffic police officers are often on duty near shopping centers, catching violators. Fortunately there are quite a lot of them. Parking in a disabled spot is a temptation that not everyone can resist. Those who are too impatient are caught by inspectors, issuing a fine, and sometimes the car is towed away. There is no need to park your car in these places, show basic respect.

People who can park in such spaces

Only people with disabilities can use specially designated parking spaces for their cars. These include disabled people of the first and second groups. A person who transports people with disabilities - adults or children - can also leave the car. Contrary to popular belief, a sticker on the rear window of a car is not mandatory and does not confirm status.

Free parking is for people who are. The driver must have with him a standard set of documents confirming his status. This list includes a medical certificate and a certificate of a disabled person of the first or second group. As for the sticker, it is usually fixed behind the rear or windshield of the car so that people see and behave more carefully on the roads.

What are the dangers of an unauthorized sticker?

If you have no documents and have a sticker, you will be fined the same 5,000 rubles. It is worth understanding that disabled parking is intended for people with disabilities, and if you do not confirm this, then you are deliberately breaking the law.

It is not always possible for a disabled person to drive a vehicle independently. Often he is carried in a special car designed to transport people with disabilities. A disabled person can also travel in simple cars (family and friends, taxis). Drivers of vehicles that do not always, but rather rarely, transport such people can install a sticker. But there is one limitation: only for the duration of transportation of a disabled person, and provided that he has all the necessary documents confirming his status. If the driver has not removed the sticker and continues to drive around the city, then when checking the documents, traffic police officers will issue a fine.

Incorrect installation of the sticker

This is taken quite seriously, and any violation of the rules for installing a sticker will certainly entail a fine. The Code of Administrative Offenses has an article that regulates this situation. If a “Disabled Person” sign is installed on a vehicle without the appropriate permit, this entails a fine of 5,000 rubles.

If the car constantly transports a person with disabilities, a parking permit must be issued. Then there will be no problems with the law.

Sign and markings

Specially designated places for disabled people are usually located no further than 50 m from hospitals and clinics, as well as other institutions that they can visit. It is worth noting that areas for people with disabilities are indicated by signs and markings, in accordance with the traffic rules.

The “Disabled Parking” sign applies only to the designated space. A sign must be attached next to the sign, which notifies everyone that this parking lot is intended only for people with disabilities.

As for the markings on the road, they are a copy of the sign and are painted in yellow. If you see markings, but there is no sign nearby, you can park your car. However, the pattern on the road is often difficult to discern due to snow, dirt, slush, etc.

It is recommended to install the sign at the end of the designated area. The driver who approaches the parking lot must clearly see it. If the sign is placed at the very beginning of the parking lot, then people may think that the entire area is reserved for places for people with disabilities.

Some features

Almost every institution in Moscow has parking for the disabled. Be it a hospital, clinic or shopping center. Parking for the disabled is often located close to the sidewalk. In this case, it is necessary to equip a ramp. This is driving from the sidewalk into a parking lot or road. It is carried out by lowering the level of the curb; the width of the ramp should be at least 90 cm.

It is best to place the curb in the corner of the parking lot so that the entrance is always clear and is not blocked by a parked vehicle. If two specially designated places are located next to each other, a common entrance from the sidewalk is made. It is located at the end of the path, which is located between the cars. The border is painted yellow.

It is worth noting that the issue of convenience and making life easier for people with disabilities is discussed quite often. The country's parliament is creating new bills aimed at improving the lives of people with disabilities. There are and should be parking lots for disabled people in all Russian cities. Traffic police officers carefully monitor violators who want to leave their car in this place. They face a fine of 5,000 rubles. Be human, there is no need to break the law, especially regarding such a delicate topic. Respect people with disabilities, because no one is immune from such a fate.
