Text of the Traffic Regulations 2015:
Prohibitory road sign 3.2 Traffic is prohibited in Appendix 1 to the Traffic Regulations

Traffic regulations P1 3.2

Prohibiting road sign 3.2 Prohibited traffic prohibits the movement of relevant types of vehicles in both directions.

The prohibition sign does not apply

The effect of the prohibitory sign 3.2 Traffic prohibited does not apply to route vehicles.

The effect of the prohibitory sign 3.2 Traffic is prohibited does not apply to vehicles of federal postal service organizations that have a white diagonal stripe on a blue background on the side surface, and vehicles that serve enterprises located in the designated area, and also serve citizens or belong to citizens living or working in the designated area. In these cases, vehicles must enter and exit the designated area at the intersection closest to their destination.

The effect of the prohibition sign 3.2 Traffic is prohibited does not apply to vehicles driven by disabled people of groups I and II, to vehicles transporting such disabled people or disabled children.

“No Parking” sign: features, coverage areas

This pointer only affects the side on which it is installed. You are allowed to stop:

  • a taxi with the meter on, waiting for a passenger;
  • postal vehicles equipped with a white stripe on a blue background;
  • a vehicle driven by disabled people of the first and second groups (if there is a sign “Disabled person driving”);
  • cars that transport disabled people, including children;
  • transport of organizations and commercial enterprises in the absence of other parking space.
  • drawing a broken yellow line on the edge of the road - the prohibition ceases to apply at the point where the marking ends;
  • installation of signs indicating the distance to the end of the restriction or the type of transport that is not allowed to stand;
  • drawing one or two white vertical lines on the index.

Two lanes – no stopping on even days. If there are 2 signs on both sides of the road, standing is allowed from 19.00 to 21.00 on the left side of the roadway.

All signs intended for installation with this prohibitory sign are divided into 2 groups. The first includes white rectangles with an arrow(s). If the arrow is directed upward and supplemented with a number, then the sign’s coverage area ends through the distance indicated by the number. The downward arrow indicates the end point of the ban.

The second group of signs are white rectangles depicting one group of vehicles: tractors, trucks, buses, minibuses, motorcycles. The ban applies only to the group visible in the image.

  1. before the next intersection;
  2. at a sign indicating the beginning or end of a populated area;
  3. at the sign “End of all restrictions” (this is a white circle crossed out with black stripes).

If the coverage area needs to be extended, another sign is installed.

If stopping for a long time is caused by an accident, congestion or breakdown, this is not considered a violation if there is an alarm or warning sign. The vehicle can be left on the side of the road if it cannot move on its own. Another condition is to exclude the possibility of theft.

The importance of knowing road signs cannot be underestimated, since they provide the driver with comprehensive information related to road traffic.

These information images indicate what is prohibited, what is allowed on a given section of the road, inform and warn the driver about the danger.

They are divided into nine groups:

  1. Warning. As the name suggests, the purpose of these types is to inform about dangers on a section of the road in order for the driver to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of themselves, passengers and pedestrians.
  2. Priority signs. Indicate to drivers the order of passage through narrow road sections and intersections.
  3. Prohibiting. Appropriate traffic restrictions are introduced and also lifted.
  4. Prescriptive. Establish mandatory driving conditions on a lane or section of road.
  5. Special instructions. Designed to organize a certain traffic mode, or cancel it.
  6. Additional Information. These are signs used in conjunction with other types, complementing or clarifying the actions of the latter.
  7. Information types.
  8. Identification varieties.
  9. Service.

Below we will look in detail at the “No Parking” type, which is classified as prohibiting, so first we will take a closer look at this broad group.

Outwardly, it is very simple to distinguish them - a circle with a red border on a white or blue background, which is quite difficult not to notice. This is a very large group that regulates literally all aspects of road traffic, starting from the maximum permissible speed, restrictions on the weight and types of vehicles, and ending with the ban on entry, parking and stopping of cars on various sections of the road.

It is important not only to confidently imagine what prohibitory signs look like and what exactly they prohibit, but also to understand exactly on which sections of the roadway they operate, that is, to imagine the area of ​​effect of the sign. Let's first figure out where the zone of action of the prohibiting species begins.

Here, unlike warning types, everything is very simple - the ban begins to operate immediately after the place where the image is installed, and it does not matter what exactly it means - the maximum permissible speed or a parking ban.

Of course, there are exceptions to any rule. So, for example, the “Parking is prohibited” type, established at the entrance to the yard, does not apply to persons living in the house or working in an organization located here, if a detour is not provided. There are other exceptions related to the action of this sign, which will be discussed below.

This road symbol can be found very often - a blue circle with a red border, crossed diagonally by one red stripe. It is clear that it prohibits parking of vehicles on any day of the week.

But sometimes you can find it prohibiting parking, for example, only on odd days, or even days - on them one or two white stripes (vertical) are drawn inside a crossed out circle. Accordingly, one lane is crossed out - you cannot park a car only on odd days, two - on even days.

However, there are restrictions here too - the ban is valid only until the evening - until 19.00, so in order not to break the rules, before 21.00 the vehicle must be driven to the other side of the road - as a rule, a sign with a reverse restriction is installed on it.

Well, in the period from 19.00 to 21.00 you can park your car in the coverage area of ​​any sign - you will not break the rules. It should also be noted that there are categories of people who can safely ignore the “Parking Prohibited” symbol.

We will not describe in detail the rules for federal postal vehicles, for which this type does not apply - this is not relevant for us. It is much more important that cars of disabled people of groups I and II and persons transporting such disabled people can park under this graphic element without fear.

This type, so to speak, is closely related to the road sign we described above. The fact is that where stopping is prohibited, parking is also prohibited, but not vice versa.

You can stop in a “No Parking” zone and you won’t be fined. Let's take a brief look at how a parking lot differs from a stop.

There are no difficulties here, since this issue is covered in some detail in the traffic rules. Understanding the differences between parking and stopping is very simple.

But if at the same time you perform actions related to boarding/disembarking passengers, loading/unloading a car, then regardless of how much time it takes you, you will make a stop, not a parking lot, even if it lasts at least 15 minutes, at least a whole hour.

Externally, “Parking and stopping is prohibited” is very similar to the prohibitory type we described above, only it is no longer one diagonal red stripe on a blue background, but two intersecting stripes.

It also applies only to its own lane. Exceptions to which this symbol does not apply include only route vehicles. Please note that disabled people in their vehicles can no longer stop in the coverage area of ​​this element, unless, of course, a corresponding information sign is installed under it.

In general, its coverage area is the same as that of other prohibitory images, that is, from the installation site to the first intersection, or to the end of the populated area, if no other symbols are installed that remove the restriction.

However, there are nuances:

  • Firstly, the zone can be defined by a yellow broken marking line at the edge of the roadway: as long as it is there, parking is prohibited, and with the end of this line, the sign’s coverage area ends.
  • Secondly, at the beginning of the article it was not for nothing that we briefly mentioned other road types, in particular, signs used in conjunction with other types to clarify the action of the latter.

Thus, the coverage area signs (vertical arrows on a white rectangle), located under the sign, precisely determine its coverage area.

Thus, if under the graphic element “Parking Prohibited” you see an arrow pointing down, this means the end of the sign’s coverage area - it will be possible to leave a vehicle behind it, unless, of course, other traffic rules are violated.

If the sign indicates an arrow pointing upward, this means that the coverage area will begin from the location where the sign is installed, but you can also usually see a number indicating the length of the coverage area in meters.

The direction of movement to which the sign applies is also important.

At the same time, remember also about the “Parking Restricted Zone” view, which is a large white rectangle with a “No Parking” sign drawn inside it - it already applies to the entire roadway.

The parking ban is also canceled by the “End of all restrictions zone” pictogram - a white circle with black stripes crossing it out. By the way, there is a similar sign for the above-mentioned “Parking Restriction Zone”.

The Code of Administrative Offenses states that ignoring requirements of this type provides for a fine of 1,500 rubles. And if the offense was committed in Moscow or St. Petersburg, then the fine will already amount to 3,000 rubles.

In addition, the car can easily be sent to a penalty area. In order to receive a fine for illegal stopping or parking, by the way, it is not at all necessary to stop in the area covered by the relevant signs.

Road sign 3.2 No Entry is not as strict as sign 3.1 No Entry or Brick

Road sign 3.2 No traffic has a white friendly background and a noticeable red border, and in certain cases allows movement under this sign. Obviously, the developers of the sign showed a great sense of humor by strictly calling the sign “No movement” , as if any movement is prohibited and you need to freeze in place when you see the sign, but at the same time, in the traffic rules, they themselves allowed a whole circle of drivers to enter the sign’s coverage area from the nearest intersection.

And, on the contrary, a sign similar in name, which is called only 3.1 Entry is prohibited or Brick, according to the traffic rules, does not allow any movement in its direction to anyone, except for route transport, even disabled people or residents of nearby houses. And, such a violation of traffic rules may result in the deprivation of a driver’s license. Therefore, the background of the sign 3.1 Brick is completely red, it even merges with the red rim of the prohibitory signs. The brick is depicted on the sign in white. Obviously, this is a sand-lime brick, and not an orange one made from baked clay, because the orange color would be less noticeable against a red background.

Now, you better remember what signs 3.1 and 3.2 are called, what they look like, how they differ, which one is stricter, although they are both good.
