All traffic signs and their meanings. Groups of traffic signs

All signs traffic are divided into eight groups, each of which serves to convey certain information to the driver. This article discusses in detail the features of each type of plates, as well as their main functions.

Groups of traffic signs

All used in the territory Russian Federation, signs are divided into the following groups:

warning signs;
priority signs;
prohibition signs;
prescriptive signs;
signs special instructions;
information signs;
service marks;
signs additional information.

Each group of road signs has its own shape and color tone. In addition, all plates have a digital identifier. The first digit is the group, the second is the number within the group, and the third is the species.

Each group serves to convey to the driver any information or a ban on movement.

Classification of road signs- warning signs

Distinctive features of such signs are triangular-shaped plates, a white background on which symbols are applied in black paint, and a red edging.

A warning sign, according to the rules, is placed 50 or 100 meters before the danger zone in a city or countryside, and for 150-300 meters on the roads outside the settlements. If it is not possible to install a sign at the prescribed distance, the distance to the dangerous area in meters is indicated at the bottom of the plate. These road signs are usually triangular shape, so it is almost impossible to confuse them.

Warning signs are installed rectangular and cross-shaped. Their installation is determined by separate norms and rules. So, signs 1.1, 1.2, 1.9, 1.10 and some others are placed exclusively outside cities and villages. The minimum information distance regarding the danger zone is 50 meters. Plates 1.23 and 1.25 are installed directly on the emergency site.

Warning signs 1.7, 1.17, 1.22 indicate that there is no roundabout or pedestrian crossing further along the path. They are additionally accompanied by plates from other groups.

What road signs are from the group of priority characters

Priority plates indicate a certain one, which is considered the main one in relation to other movement trajectories. Usually you see such signs at intersections and other similar areas with difficult traffic. Regulation signs may also be placed on narrow roads.

The sign "Movement without stopping is prohibited" is most often found near railways and barriers to prevent accidents with trains.

In some cases, on the road you can see a regulatory sign and a traffic light, or a sign and a traffic controller. In this case, priority is given to traffic signals or a traffic controller / traffic police officer. Be careful under these circumstances. Only if the traffic light is turned off, you need to focus on the sign.

Types of traffic signs- prohibition signs

As could be understood from the name of the group, prohibition signs inform the driver about the prohibition of movement.

In turn, such signs are divided into prohibitory and restrictive. In the first case, passage is strictly prohibited, and in the second, it is allowed to continue driving, but with maximum caution.

Prohibition signs are always round, with a white background, on which a certain pattern is applied in black paint. The exception is four plates with a blue background. In addition, there are four black and white signs that allow previously prohibited traffic.

The signs of this group are the most difficult to learn: for prohibition and limiting signs, some exceptions have been introduced that apply to specific modes of transport. In addition, it is difficult to navigate in the territory of action of a sign.

The first exception applies to drivers who have turned on special signals and red-blue lights and are performing some official mission. In this case, any prohibition sign can be ignored.
Signs 16, 3.17.1, 3.17.2, 3.17.3, 3.20, 3.24 in without fail taken into account by all motorists.
The presence of plates 1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.18.1, 3.18.2, 3.19, 3.27 does not apply to minibuses.
Signs 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.28, 3.29, 3.30 may ignore post cars.
Plates numbered 3.2, 3.3, 3.28, 3.29, 3.30 may be neglected by drivers carrying disabled people of the first and second groups.
Ignore signs 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 have the right to employees of factories and enterprises located in the area of the sign, as well as drivers carrying passengers who live in this area.
Taxi drivers with an activated meter can ignore signs 3.28, 3.29 and 3.30.
Plate 3.26 allows you to horn to prevent an accident.
And the last exception - sign 3.20 allows you to go around a car that cannot reach a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, as well as a motorcycle, bicycle or wagon.

It is often difficult to figure out where the action of a particular sign ends. To do this, learn four rules.

The action of specific signs ceases before the first intersection.
If a certain plate is installed in an urban or rural area, then its validity is terminated outside the territory of the settlement. Outside the city or village there is always a crossed out sign with the name of the settlement.
The coverage area may be indicated on the sign itself.
Sign 3.31 cancels all previous ones.

Types of road signs- prescriptive signs

Similar signs apply to absolutely everyone. They can indicate the direction in which it is allowed to continue moving, the maximum or the route of passage for special vehicles. In addition, mandatory signs may allow pedestrians or cyclists to move.

Almost all such signs are round, with a blue background and white pictograms.

Features of road signs

Tablets 4.1.1 - 4.1.6 indicate the trajectory of traffic at a particular intersection.
On the signs 4.1.3, 4.1.5 and 4.1.6 an arrow is drawn, which allows movement exclusively to the left. In addition, in this place you can turn around.
Signs 4.1.1 - 4.1.6 can be ignored by drivers of minibuses and buses.

8 groups of road signs

Four groups of road signs were considered above. It remains to disassemble the same number of types, namely: signs of special requirements, information signs, service plates and signs of additional information.

Categories of road signs- signs of special regulations

On some roads it is impossible to establish a generally accepted traffic norm. It is in such situations that special prescription signs are used that inform drivers about special driving modes.

Signs 5.23.1, 5.23.2, 5.24.1, 5.24.2 are placed on the territory for which the traffic rules are relevant for settlements.
Tablets 5.25 and 5.26 inform about the invalidity of the rules for urban or rural areas.
Signs 5.27, 5.29, 5.31, 5.33 apply to a specific area without exception, whether it is an intersection or any other road with non-standard traffic.

Group of information signs

Similar plates were created for drivers about different settlements, as well as the location of certain cities and villages.

These signs are always rectangular, and the main color may vary, depending on the subgroup. For example, a green background is used for highway features. A white background is used to indicate objects within a certain point, yellow - if roads are being repaired. Blue is used to indicate routes outside the city.

Categories of traffic signs- signs of additional information

Additional signs serve for more detailed information. They are complementary to the main characters. Therefore, they cannot be used on their own. According to the rules, no more than three plates can be attached to one sign.

If the additional sign contradicts the main sign, the driver must follow the instructions of the temporary plate. Additional signs are mainly installed during renovation work.

Categories of road signs- service marks

As you might have guessed, such signs indicate various points, for example, car repairs or refueling.

They are hung in the city near the object itself, and in the countryside, or outside the city, in advance - from 400 meters to 80 kilometers.

Rounding of the road of small radius or with limited visibility: 1.11.1 - to the right, 1.11.2 - to the left.

Road section with dangerous turns: 1.12.1 - with the first turn to the right, 1.12.2 - with the first turn to the left.

As soon as we had time to publish the previous review material, the preliminary national standard “PNST 247-2017 Experimental technical means traffic organization. Standard sizes of road signs. Types and rules for the use of additional road signs. General provisions.»

You can download the full document link, and below we will consider what will be interesting directly for drivers.

To create a comfortable urban environment and improve visibility, the following types of road signs are recommended:

"500" - on a slow road network;
"400" - in the central parts of cities, in places of dense and historical buildings, as well as along bicycle lanes, cycling and pedestrian zones located in any part of the city.

New standard sizes of road signs

New road signs 2018

Stop and parking prohibition signs (3.27d, 3.28d, 3.29d, 3.30d)

They are installed perpendicular to the main road signs, including on the walls of buildings and fences. Arrows indicate the boundaries of zones where parking and stopping are prohibited.

Additional stop and parking prohibited signs

Entry to the intersection in case of congestion is prohibited

Additional visual designation of intersections or sections of the roadway, on which markings 3.34d are applied, prohibiting driving to a busy intersection and thereby creating obstacles for the movement of vehicles in the transverse direction. The sign is placed before crossing the carriageways.

Entry to the intersection in case of congestion is prohibited

As noted in the previous review, the document should and does have a description of the sign stipulating a ban on entering the intersection. In addition, the sign is an addition to the markup. That is, in the absence of markup to determine the offense, you cannot refer to this sign.

Movement in the opposite direction

It is used on sections of roads where movement in other directions, except for the reverse, is prohibited.

Movement in the opposite direction

I don't remember such crossroads. If you know such examples, write in the comments or in the Vkontakte group.

Dedicated tram lane

To improve the efficiency of trams, it is allowed to install signs 5.14d above the tram tracks with the simultaneous isolation of the tracks with markings 1.1 or 1.2.

Dedicated tram lane

We already know the sign. Installing it is not required. In the rules of this sign on this moment No. Probably, it will mean a ban on tram tracks.

Driving directions for public transport

Designates a dedicated lane in front of an intersection in cases where the movement of route vehicles along the dedicated lane in the forward direction is impossible.

Driving directions for public transport

Direction of lanes

Inform the driver about the permitted directions of movement along the lanes. Arrows can be freely positioned depending on the trajectory and the number of directions of movement from the lane.

The shape of the lines on the signs must correspond to the road markings. Signs of additional information (signs of priority, prohibition of entry or through passage, etc.) can be placed on the arrows.

Direction of lanes

Variations of signs "Direction of movement along the lanes" are significantly expanding, which makes it possible to more accurately indicate the traffic pattern at the intersection. Drawing images is also quite free. Perhaps even a picture of a tram.

Lane direction

Inform the driver about the permitted directions of movement in a separate lane.

Lane direction

The brother of the "Direction of lanes" sign, with the difference that each sign is installed above each lane. And that means there more area for posting information, as well as more responsibility for the organizers of the movement. The absence of even one such sign can bring complete confusion at the intersection.

Perhaps it is already possible to begin checking the authors and initiators of the introduction of these new signs. They claim that all signs and images on them are intuitive. Below is a visualization of their use, but for now, try to imagine traffic situations where such signs can be used.

We continue.

Beginning of the strip

Inform drivers about the appearance of an additional lane (lanes) of traffic. It is possible to display additional driving modes and lane assignments for maneuvering.

Signs are installed at the beginning of the strip of the starting lane or at the beginning of the transitional marking line. Signs can also be used to indicate the beginning of a new lane at the end of a dedicated lane.

According to the current standard, signs 5.15.3 without the index "d" can only be used to indicate an additional acceleration lane. However, their use is already much wider today.

Beginning of the strip

Often, when organizing traffic, special additional lanes are equipped, designed only for turning or turning. Now such information is available to the driver immediately when a new lane appears on the roadway.

End of strip

Inform the driver about the end of the lane, visually highlighting the priority. Signs are installed at the beginning of the strip of the ending lane or at the beginning of the transitional marking line.

End of strip

The "End of Lane" sign has only undergone visual changes, where the rebuilding into the adjacent lane is more clearly expressed and which clearly indicates the priority of movement along the lane that has a continuation.

Changing to a parallel roadway

Inform drivers about traffic priorities when changing lanes to a parallel carriageway. Used in addition to the main priority signs 2.1 and 2.4.

Changing to a parallel roadway

New signs really do not require comments. Note that the dividing strip does not necessarily separate the opposite directions.

End of parallel carriageway

Inform drivers about the priorities of traffic when merging parallel carriageways. Used in addition to the main priority signs 2.1 and 2.4.

End of parallel carriageway

Another additional indicator of priority when merging adjacent carriageways.

Combined stop and route sign

For the convenience of public transport passengers, a combined stop and route sign may be used.

Combined stop and route sign

Crosswalk

Installing additional frames heightened attention allowed only around signs 5.19.1d, 5.19.2d at unregulated pedestrian crossings and at crossings located in places without artificial lighting or limited visibility.

It is recommended to install frames, the width of which is proportional to the size of the sign and does not exceed 15% of the width and height of the standard size used.

Crosswalk

In the pursuit of attracting attention to pedestrian crossings, road signs began to be thoughtlessly framed with retroreflective frames, so that road signs began to look like billboards. Now the sizes of frames and places of their application are regulated.

Diagonal pedestrian crossing

It is used to indicate intersections where pedestrians are allowed to cross diagonally.

Sign 5.19.3d is installed in front of the diagonal pedestrian crossing and replaces signs 5.19.1d, 5.19.2d. The information plate is installed under the pedestrian section.

Crosswalk

For more than two years, diagonal pedestrian crossings have been prescribed in the Rules of the Road, and now the designation of such crossings has also appeared.

Give way to everyone, and you can go right

Permits a right turn regardless of traffic signals, provided that an advantage is given to other road users.

It is installed on the traffic light on the right side at the level of red and yellow signals.

The width of the sign is equal to the width of the section, and the height is equal to the height of the two sections of the corresponding traffic light.

It is allowed to apply outside places of heavy flow of pedestrians and / or cyclists.

Give way to everyone, and you can go right

One of the discussion questions. According to the authors of the experiment, at the intersections where such a sign was used and a right turn on a red traffic light was allowed, not a single accident was recorded. And now the new road sign made its way into the standard. We expect amendments to the Rules of the road.

Traffic directions at the next intersection

Indicates the direction of traffic on the lanes of the next intersection. The use of these signs is allowed if the next intersection is no more than 200 meters away, and the specialization of lanes at it differs from the intersection at which these signs are installed.

Signs are allowed to be installed only above the main signs 5.15.2 "Direction of traffic in lanes".

Traffic directions at the next intersection

Another controversial new road sign. On the one hand, additional information, on the other hand, is there too much of it? Eight road signs in one plane, not counting traffic lights.

Bicycle zone

It is used to designate a territory (section of the road) where only pedestrians and cyclists are allowed to move in cases where pedestrians and cyclists are not divided into independent flows.

The sign is installed in places where vehicles can enter.

Bicycle zone

End of cycling zone

It is installed at all exits from the territory (section of the road) marked with sign 5.37 "Cycling zone".

allowed to be placed on reverse side sign 5.37. The sign is installed in places where vehicles can enter.

End of cycling zone

Paid parking

Used to designate a zone paid parking. Both options are acceptable.

Paid parking

Off street parking

It is used to designate off-street underground or above-ground parking.

Off street parking

Parking with the way of parking the vehicle

Signs are formed by placing on the field of sign 6.4 "Parking (parking space)" elements of signs and other signs of additional information characterizing the specialization of parking, in order to save space and materials.

Parking with the way of parking the vehicle

Note new way setting the vehicle "Herringbone" or at an angle to the edge of the carriageway. Previously, this method could only be implemented using markup.

Disabled parking

Parking with a way of placing a vehicle facilities

Parking Direction

They are allowed to be installed perpendicular to the main road signs, including on the walls of buildings and fences.

Parking Direction

Specifying the number of parking spaces

The number of parking spaces is indicated. Both options are acceptable.

Specifying the number of parking spaces

Vehicle type

Extends the effect of the sign to sightseeing buses intended for the transportation of tourists. The plate in combination with the sign 6.4 "Parking (parking space)" is used to highlight specialized parking lots in tourist-attractive places.

Vehicle type

Months

The plate is used to indicate the period of validity of the mark in months for marks whose effect is seasonal.

Months

Time limit

Limits the maximum allowed parking time. It is installed under the signs 3.28-3.30. It is allowed to indicate any necessary time.

Time limit

Width limit

Specifies the maximum allowed vehicle width. The plate is installed under the sign 6.4 "Parking (parking space)" in cases where the width of the parking spaces is less than 2.25 m.

Width limit

Deaf pedestrians

The plate is used in conjunction with signs 1.22, 5.19.1, 5.19.2 "Pedestrian crossing" in places where people with hearing impairments are likely to appear.

Deaf pedestrians

As for a simple layman, at first glance, changes that were bound to happen sooner or later. The road situation has changed a lot and of course it is necessary to adjust the means of organizing traffic to it.

The most interesting thing is that this standard does not contain the Waffle Maker marking and the requirements for its use, although the amendments to the Rules of the Road have already been adopted and will come into force on January 1, 2018.

Road signs- an integral attribute of roads, carrying all the information necessary for drivers: a warning about the danger, about speed limits, about repair work and much more. The study of road signs is necessary for all road users, since not only drivers can be responsible for an accident, but also illiterate pedestrians, cyclists, etc.

If you are just going to become a driver and are preparing to pass exams, then you simply need to study road signs, because traffic police tickets contain questions on this topic. Here you will find all the most up-to-date information for 2015 according to road signs.

First of all, you should know that road signs are divided into groups.

Group 1 - warning signs starting with the number "1". The signs of this group are designed to carry information for drivers, for example, about approaching a dangerous section of the road, narrowing of the carriageway, road crossing, etc.

Group 2 - priority signs starting with the number "2". A group of these signs informs about the distribution of priorities when passing through intersections and narrow parts of the road, for example, a sign of the main road, an intersection with a secondary road, etc.

Group 3 - prohibition signs starting with the number "3". The signs of this group carry information about the prohibitions in force on a given section of the road, for example, a ban on the movement of certain vehicles, prohibited overtaking, parking, stopping, etc.

Group 4 - prescriptive signs, beginning with the number "4". The signs of this group oblige vehicles to move only in a certain direction, and also limit the minimum speed, etc.

Group 5 signs - signs of special requirements starting with the number "5". The signs of this group serve to designate a residential area, pedestrian crossings, zones of artificial unevenness, etc.

Group 6 - information signs starting with the number "6". The signs of this group carry information about road numbers, parking lots, etc.

Group 7 - service marks starting with the number "7". They carry information about cafes, hotels, gas stations, etc. available on the track.

Group 8 - signs of additional information starting with the number "8". They are needed to indicate on the road the beginning and end of the operation of the signs under which the plate is placed, as well as to indicate the method of parking, etc.

9 group of characters - identification marks. These signs are designed to inform drivers that dangerous goods, children, etc. are being transported in this vehicle.

In order to better master the road signs, we recommend watching a training video on this topic. Good luck on the roads!

All the necessary information about traffic conditions and modes, dangerous sections of roads, restrictions, location of objects, etc. communicated to the driver with the help of road signs and, additionally, with the help of road markings.

Today, 271 road signs are used in Russia.

Road signs are divided according to their purpose into 8 groups:

Since the name is not written on the signs installed on the road, you must learn to distinguish any road sign by its appearance. Main hallmarks are the shape of the sign and its color scheme.

Signs are triangular, round, square, rectangular, and only in rare cases - non-standard shape. As a rule, although not always, signs from the same group have the same type of design, which helps the driver to navigate the road.

It is important to know!

The image on some warning and prohibition signs may not be on a white, but on a yellow background. This means that such a sign is temporary. According to the Rules, in cases where the meanings of temporary road signs and stationary road signs contradict each other, drivers must be guided by temporary signs.

Each road sign has its own serial number. The first digit means the number of the group of characters, the second digit is the number of the character within the group, the third digit is the variety.

1. Warning signs

Most of the signs of this group have a triangular shape, a white background, a red border and a black image. Such signs are always installed in advance of the start of a dangerous section of the road, so that the driver has time to take precautions.

The distance from the sign to the beginning of the dangerous section, about which this sign warns, is:

in settlements - 50-100 meters;
on country roads - 150-300 meters.

It is allowed to install triangular signs at a different distance, however, under the sign there must be a sign "Distance to the object" 8.1.1.

The signs of this group, which have a different shape (in the form of a rectangle or a cross), are installed according to other rules.

Signs that warn the driver about the most serious dangers, namely 1.1, 1.2, 1.9, 1.10, 1.23, 1.25 are repeated outside the settlements. The second sign is placed at least 50 m before the beginning of the dangerous section of the road.

In addition, signs 1.23 and 1.25 are repeated in settlements directly at the beginning of the dangerous section.

All warning signs are listed below. By hovering over a sign with the mouse cursor, you can read its name, and by clicking, you will see a description of the sign. In order to successfully cope with the study of road signs, you must read the detailed explanations for each of them.

Where signs 1.7, 1.17, 1.22 are installed, there is not and cannot be a roundabout, artificial unevenness or a pedestrian crossing, because these signs only warn that these objects will soon be on your way.

Their immediate location will be indicated by road signs from other groups that have a different appearance. The same applies to any other warning signs that have a triangular shape.

2. Signs of priority

Priority signs determine the order of passage in places where the trajectories of vehicles may intersect. In most cases, they are installed at intersections.

Signs from this group are also placed in front of narrow sections of roads where oncoming traffic is difficult. In addition, you may come across a No Non-stop traffic sign in front of a railroad crossing or checkpoint.

All priority signs are divided into those that give you an advantage and those that require you to give way to other vehicles.

It is important to know!

If there is a working traffic light or a traffic controller at the intersection, the priority signs do not work. In such a situation, drivers should be guided solely by traffic signals (traffic controller). And priority signs will come into force only when the traffic light or the traffic controller stops regulating traffic at this intersection.

3. Prohibition signs

The signs of this fairly large group introduce prohibitions and restrictions. The ban implies that further movement is impossible. The restriction allows you to continue driving, but subject to certain conditions.

All prohibition signs are round shape. Most of them are a black image on a white background, surrounded by a red border. Four prohibition signs have a blue background. Four more signs, canceling the previously introduced restrictions, have a black and white color scheme.

The study of prohibition signs is associated with two difficulties.

Firstly, different signs this group have different exceptions that you will need to remember.

Secondly, if a prohibition sign without a sign begins to act immediately from the place where it is installed, then it can be difficult to understand where the restriction it introduced ends.

Different prohibition signs have different areas of effect, and they will also have to be taught.

Who is not subject to prohibition signs:

1. Drivers of vehicles with a blue (or red-blue) flashing beacon and siren turned on, as well as drivers of vehicles accompanied by them, when performing an urgent official task, have the right to deviate from the requirements of any traffic signs, including those prohibiting.

For other vehicles:

2. The requirements of signs 3.16, 3.17.1, 3.17.2, 3.17.3, 3.20, 3.24 are mandatory for all drivers.

3. Signs 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.18.1, 3.18.2, 3.19, 3.27 do not apply to route vehicles.

4. Signs 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.28, 3.29, 3.30 do not apply to postal vehicles.

5. Signs 3.2, 3.3, 3.28, 3.29, 3.30 do not apply to vehicles carrying disabled people of the 1st or 2nd group and disabled children.

6. Signs 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8 do not apply to vehicles that serve enterprises located in a designated area or transport citizens living or working in a designated area.

7. Signs 3.28, 3.29 and 3.30 do not apply to taxis with meters turned on. For those who live or work in the area of these signs, no exception is made.

8. Sign 3.26 does not prohibit the sound signal in emergency to prevent accidents.

9. Sign 3.20 allows you to overtake vehicles that, by their design, are not capable of reaching speeds of more than 30 km / h, as well as horse-drawn carts, two-wheeled motorcycles, mopeds and bicycles. At the same time, sign 3.22 does not allow trucks with a maximum authorized mass of more than 3.5 tons to overtake any vehicle.

Areas of prohibition signs
Prohibition signs that impose restrictions have four main areas of effect:

to the nearest intersection (except for the intersections with field and forest dirt roads that are not marked with signs installed at intersections);
if the sign was installed in the settlement, and there was no intersection on the way - to the sign "End of the settlement" 5.24.1, 5.24.2;
in accordance with the sign "Area of operation" 8.2.1, with which the sign is installed. At the same time, the length of the restricted zone is indicated on the plate;
up to the sign 3.31.

In addition, signs 3.20, 3.22 and 3.24 have a fifth zone of validity - up to signs 3.21, 3.23 and 3.25, respectively.

Sign 3.24 can also be valid up to the same sign with a different speed limit 3.24 (60 km/h), and if it was installed on a country road - up to the sign "Beginning of the settlement" 5.23.1, 5.23.2.

Finally, the coverage area of signs 3.27, 3.28, 3.29 and 3.30 can be determined by the length of the marking line yellow color, applied along the edge of the carriageway, or by plates 8.2.2, 8.2.4 and 8.2.3, indicating, respectively, the beginning, continuation and end of the zone of validity of the sign.

4. Mandatory signs

These signs give the driver instructions that must be followed. They can prescribe certain directions of movement, the minimum permissible speed, allow further movement only for pedestrians and cyclists, indicate the way for vehicles carrying dangerous goods.

All signs of this group, except for the last three, have a round shape, a blue background, a white border and a white image.

Signs 4.1.1 - 4.1.6, indicating the mandatory directions of movement at the intersection, apply only to the nearest crossing of carriageways after the sign. At the same time, it is important to remember that at the intersection there can be either one or several intersections of carriageways.

On signs 4.1.3, 4.1.5 and 4.1.6, the arrow allowing a left turn also allows a U-turn.

Signs 4.1.1 - 4.1.6 do not apply to route vehicles.

Sign 4.1.1, in addition, can be installed at the beginning of a road section and be valid until entering the next intersection.

In this case, on a section of the road between two adjacent intersections, it prohibits turning around and turning to the adjacent territories located to the left of the road, but allows a right turn to the adjacent territories.

5. Signs of special regulations

On certain roads or sections of the road network, certain traffic modes may be used that differ from the generally accepted ones. Signs of special regulations are installed in places where these regimes are introduced or canceled.

All signs of this group have the shape of a square or rectangle, as well as a white, blue or green background.

Signs 5.23.1, 5.23.2, 5.24.1, 5.24.2 indicate the boundaries of the territories where traffic rules for settlements.

Signs 5.25 and 5.26 indicate the boundaries of such settlements in which the requirements of traffic rules for settlements do not apply. Therefore, when driving between signs 5.25 and 5.26, drivers must follow the rules for country roads, not forgetting the precautions associated with an increased likelihood of people on the roadway.

The zone of action of signs 5.27, 5.29, 5.31 and 5.33 is not interrupted at intersections, but extends to all streets, adjacent territories, as well as to any side of the roads that fall inside the designated zone. The requirements of these signs will be valid until the signs 5.28, 5.30, 5.32 and 5.34 are on your way, respectively.

6. Information signs

Information signs inform about the location of settlements and other objects, as well as about established or recommended traffic modes, detour directions, etc.

The signs of this group are rectangular, and their background can be green, blue, white or yellow. Information about objects placed on a sign with a green background indicates that these objects are located on the motorway.

The same information on signs with a blue background applies to other country roads. Information on a white background informs about objects located within the boundaries of the settlement.

Signs with a yellow background are used in the case of organizing a detour of repaired or temporarily blocked sections of roads.

Signs 6.3.1 and 6.3.2 are installed on multi-lane roads outside the intersection at the breaks of the dividing strip or the solid marking line. They allow you to turn around, but do not oblige you to turn around.

However, if there is an adjacent territory to the left of the road opposite the place or zone for a turn indicated by these signs, then turning onto it is prohibited in order to avoid collision with oncoming vehicles that can move at high speed in such places.

7. Service marks

Service signs inform about the location of the relevant facilities, the services of which you can use. They are installed directly at the service facilities or in the places of turning to them, and outside the settlements also in advance - 60 - 80 km, 15 - 20 km and 400 - 800 m before the designated object.

The signs of this group are a blue rectangle with a white square and an image inside. Additional information may be indicated at the bottom of the sign on a blue background.

8. Signs of additional information (plates)

Signs of additional information are otherwise called plates. They always clarify or supplement the requirement of a sign from another group.

Signs cannot be used separately from the sign and installed independently (with the exception of signs 8.15 and 8.23, which are used not only with signs, but also with traffic lights).

No more than three plates may be used with one road sign.

All plates are rectangular in shape (plates 8.1.2 and 8.13 are square) and, with the exception of plates 8.4.8, 8.5.1, 8.19 and 8.22.1-8.22.3, are black on a white background.

It is important to know!

In cases where the meanings of temporary road signs with a yellow background and stationary signs contradict each other, drivers should be guided by temporary signs.

The need for their use arises during repair work, mass events, in case of natural Disasters, in places of an accident, etc.

At the same time, the previously established traffic organization is changed, and it is temporary signs that inform drivers about the new traffic order.

However, it is important to remember that when temporary mark does not contradict the stationary, you must fulfill the requirements of both signs.
