Parking for the disabled: the rules, the action of the sign and the penalty. Parking on site for the disabled

At the moment in any civilized country for private cars of people with disabilities allocate parking spaces. They are located near residential buildings, shopping centers, as well as in special car parks. These places are marked with the sign "Parking for the disabled". At present, their number is rapidly increasing, this is due to the growing number of people with disabilities. In our country, respectfully and with understanding belong to the disabled, so they build new parking lots and provide other benefits.

Parking design

Places for people with disabilities are organized in a different way than simple ones. So, if the width of the usual parking lot should not be less than 2.5 m, then for the disabled - 3.5 m. This is due to the fact that people with a fully open door should have space to unload the stroller. And only afterwards, when all the manipulations were carried out, it was easy to pass between other vehicles.

The parking area for the disabled is a few places that go in a row. For example, if three places are allocated for people with disabilities in the parking lot, they should be located side by side. First, it is much more convenient. Secondly, it will expand the area between cars several times. So it will be easier to perform a maneuver without hitting other cars. If two places are located side by side, then the total width of this site is reduced by 1 m, while the free path grows by 2 m.

Disabled Parking

Owners of car parks should allocate space for people with disabilities. If this requirement is ignored, a fine is payable. According to the law, in each parking zone there must be parking spaces for disabled people.

In the Code of Administrative Offenses (Code of Administrative Violations) there is an article regulating this issue. So, for the lack of parking for the disabled, a fine of between 3,000 and 5,000 rubles is imposed. After this became effective, the parking lot owners had a choice: constantly pay a fine or equip special places in the parking lot. Most chose the second option, and now you rarely find a parking lot, where there is no zone for people with disabilities.

Number of parking spaces

According to the legislation, places for free parking for disabled people should occupy at least 10% of the total. Usually, an area for people with disabilities is placed close to the entrance. This place is designated by a special sign and corresponding markings.

Near enterprises and clinics that specialize in the treatment of the musculoskeletal system, allocate about 20% of the area for parking spaces for people with disabilities. It should be noted that the owner himself has the right to decide how many such zones will be in his parking lot. The main thing is that this amount does not fall below the minimum level.

Politeness above all

Parking in place for disabled people is a manifestation of lack of culture and disrespect for these people. Signs and markings are always clearly visible from afar, so the reason "did not notice" is not relevant here. Even if no one is standing at this place, and you need to go to college or work urgently, you should not do this. In any case, a healthy person can easily walk 100-150 meters, and for an invalid sometimes 10 meters - an insurmountable distance.

In addition, for parking at the place of disabled persons there is a fine of 5,000 rubles. It is worth noting that this is the largest penalty for incorrect parking. Employees of traffic police are often on duty near shopping centers, catching violators. The blessing them is enough. Parking on the spot for a disabled person is a temptation, before which not everyone can resist. Too impatient catch inspectors, writing a fine, and sometimes evacuate the car. Do not put your car in these places, show an elementary respect.

People who can park in such places

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

Free parking is for people who are. The driver must always have 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 back or windshield of the car so that people can see and behave on the roads more accurately.

What is the danger of an unauthorized sticker?

In the absence of documents and if there is a sticker, you will be fined for the same 5,000 rubles. It is worthwhile to understand that disabled parking is for people with disabilities, and if you do not confirm this, you deliberately break the law.

Not always a disabled person can drive a vehicle on his own. Often, it is carried in a special car designed for the transport of people with disabilities. A disabled person can move on simple cars (relatives and friends, taxis). Drivers of vehicles that do not always, but rarely transport such people, can install a sticker. But there is one restriction: only for the period of transportation of the disabled person, and provided that he has all the necessary documents confirming the status. If the driver did not remove the sticker and continues to drive around the city, then when checking documents, DPS officers will write out a fine.

Incorrect installation of stickers

This is taken seriously, and any violation of the rules of installing the stickers will necessarily entail a penalty. There is an article in the Administrative Code that regulates this situation. If the sign "Disabled" is installed on the vehicle without a proper permit, this entails the imposition of a fine of 5,000 rubles.

In the event that the car carries a person with disabilities permanently, it is necessary to issue a parking permit. Then there will be no problems with the law.

Sign and markup

Especially designated places for disabled people are usually not more than 50 m from hospitals and polyclinics, as well as other institutions that they can visit. It is worth noting that the area for people with disabilities is indicated by a sign and markings, according to the rules of the road.

The sign "Parking for disabled people" applies only to the designated place. Next to the sign is to secure a sign that notifies everyone that this parking lot is only for people with reduced physical abilities.

As for marking on the road, it is a copy of the sign and applied in yellow. If you see the markings, but there is no sign next to you, you can park your car. However, often drawing on the road is difficult to distinguish because of snow, mud, slush, etc.

The indicator is recommended to be installed from the end of the allotted space. The driver who approaches the parking lot should see him clearly. If the indicator is placed at the very beginning of the parking lot, people may think that the whole area is reserved for people with disabilities.

Some features

Nearly every institution has parking in Moscow for disabled people. Whether it's a hospital, a polyclinic or a shopping center. Often, parking for the disabled are located near the sidewalk. In this case, it is necessary to equip the ramp. This is the exit from the sidewalk to the parking lot or road. It is carried out by reducing the level of the curb, the width of the ramp should be at least 90 cm.

The border is best placed in the corner of the parking lot so that the entrance is always free and not blocked by the parked vehicle. In the event that two specially designated places are located next to each other, make a general entry from the sidewalk. It is at the end of the path, which is located honey machines. Border paint in yellow.

It is worth noting that the issue of convenience and relief for disabled people is discussed quite often. The Parliament of the country creates new bills aimed at improving the lives of people with disabilities. Parking for the disabled is and should be in all cities of Russia. DPS officers carefully monitor violators who want to leave their car in this place. They face a fine of 5,000 rubles. Be people, do not violate the law, especially regarding such a delicate topic. Respect the disabled, because no one is immune from such a fate.
