Pedestrian traffic prohibited sign. What signs should children know?
Pedestrians are also participants traffic, like the drivers. Therefore, pedestrians are subject to traffic regulations. A pedestrian can be an obstacle to traffic in general, as well as in those places where a prohibited zone for the passage of pedestrians is established.
Due to the rash act of a pedestrian on the road, a traffic collision may occur. It is especially worth noting about such a category of pedestrians as small children and the elderly, from whom unpredictable actions can be expected on the road.

Requirements of road sign 3.10
The main requirement of the road sign “Pedestrian movement is prohibited” is the inadmissibility of pedestrians being or passing in the restricted area. Such places include territories or sections of roads where the presence of a pedestrian may pose a danger to all road users, for example:
- on bridges;
- in tunnels;
- on high-speed sections of roads;
- in places where repair work is carried out.
On bridges and overpasses, due to the complexity of the structures, separate lanes for pedestrian traffic are not always provided, since this must be separated from the roadway by a barrier.
The ban on pedestrian traffic is limited to a certain side of the road; therefore, where there is no such sign, traffic is allowed. However, you should not neglect places to cross to the other side of the road and use pedestrian crossings.
Rules for installing a sign 3.10
For safety reasons, road sign 3.10 is installed directly in these places or adjacent areas for pedestrians and other road users. This often applies to roads where there are no sidewalks for pedestrian traffic. And driving on the roadway is strictly prohibited, provided that there is a sidewalk nearby.
The sign can be located on one or simultaneously on both sides of the road. This will mean that any passage in these places is prohibited. The sign is installed at the edge of the sidewalk, so that when approaching the roadway, the pedestrian can see front part road sign.
The sign extends to the end of the dangerous section of the road, or to the intersection. If there is no sign at the next intersection, then there are no traffic restrictions for pedestrians. Accordingly, if it is a bridge, a tunnel, then throughout the entire section of these structures.
The distribution of the sign will also be valid for citizens in wheelchairs, pedestrians driving a bicycle, moped, cart, children's sled.
By following these instructions, you will be able to protect your life and health from the adverse factors present on some road sections. But this does not mean that the roads are safe in other places.
Liability for violation of sign 3.10
Responsibility under administrative law may extend not only to drivers Vehicle, but also pedestrians, since they participate together in organizing traffic, each of which can create an obstacle or lead to an accident.
For pedestrians, a well-known violation is considered to be crossing the road in an unspecified place. The fine for violating this regulation is 500 rubles. According to Part 1 of Art. 12.29 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, at the discretion of the traffic police officer, a warning or fine may be issued. At the same time, the responsibility of the pedestrian extends not only to crossing the road not at a zebra crossing, but also to crossing a red traffic light and moving under sign 3.10.
Also, a pedestrian may be held liable for obstructing traffic, for example, driving along the side of the road or roadway; the fine for such a violation is 1,000 rubles under Part 1 of Art. 12.30 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In this article from the series "Traffic Signs" we will again talk about prohibiting road signs.
More specifically, a group of road signs will be considered, prohibiting the movement of vehicles of the selected type, which can be determined based on the type of road sign:
- Tractor traffic is prohibited.
- Driving with a trailer is prohibited.
- The movement of horse-drawn carts is prohibited.
- Bicycles are prohibited.
- No Pedestrians.
At first glance, it seems that the meaning of all these signs can be understood by simply looking at the black image in the middle of the road sign. However, in practice, some of these signs, such as “no trailering”, have features that need to be remembered.
In this article we will talk about the specifics of using the listed prohibitory road signs.
Tractor traffic is prohibited
The meaning of the sign “tractor traffic is prohibited” is not difficult to understand based on its image:
This sign prohibits the movement of both tractors and self-propelled machines, i.e. all vehicles that you need to have to drive. Moreover, movement is prohibited in both directions.
I would like to note that the listed group of vehicles also includes ATVs and snowmobiles, which very vaguely resemble a tractor.
Only federal postal vehicles that have a white diagonal stripe on the side surface on a blue background, as well as tractors and self-propelled vehicles that serve or belong to citizens living in the designated zone, or that serve enterprises located in it, can violate the requirements of this sign.
Please note that the vehicles listed in the preceding paragraph must enter the designated area at the intersection closest to their destination. Let me remind you that the ambiguity of choosing the nearest intersection was discussed in a visual form in the article "".
Driving with a trailer is prohibited
No trailer driving sign may not always be clearly understood by the driver:
Please note that vehicles may be driven within the area of the "No Trailer Driving" sign. cars with a trailer, as well as buses with a trailer, and this will not be a violation.
This sign has exactly the same exceptions as the previous sign. Those. it can be violated by postal vehicles, as well as vehicles serving businesses and citizens.
For violation of the requirements of the above signs, the driver may be punished with a warning or in the amount 500 rubles.
Horse-drawn carriages are prohibited
Sign horse-drawn carriages are prohibited prohibits the movement of horse-drawn carts, riding and pack animals, as well as the passage of livestock:
Since not every city resident has encountered horse-drawn vehicles, I propose to consider which vehicles are covered by sign 3.9:
- A horse-drawn cart is a cart that is pulled by animals. The carriage itself can be either a cart or a sleigh. As for animals, they are usually horses, deer or sled dogs.
- Riding animals are animals that carry a rider on their back. For example, horse, pony, camel, donkey, elephant, etc.
- A pack animal is an animal that carries a load on its back instead of a rider.
- Cattle drive - the drive of an organized group of animals. Moreover, these animals do not transport either people or cargo. Usually they move herds of cows, horses, sheep, deer, etc.
All of the above definitions are for informational purposes and are not excerpts from regulatory documents.
So, all of the above types of animals cannot move within the area of effect of the sign; the movement of horse-drawn carts is prohibited in both directions. However, just like the two previous signs, this rule has an exception that applies to postal animals, as well as to animals serving citizens and businesses located in the designated area.
Bicycles are prohibited
Bicycles prohibited sign spreads for bicycles and mopeds:
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this sign has no exceptions, i.e. You cannot violate its requirements, even if, for example, you are traveling to your place of residence. However, in order to still get to your destination, you can use the following simple trick. You should get off your bicycle or moped, thereby turning from a driver into a pedestrian, and continue moving along the sidewalk.
By the way, I recommend that drivers of two-wheeled vehicles read the following articles:
For violation of the requirements of the sign, the movement of horse-drawn carts is prohibited or the sign, the movement of bicycles is prohibited, a warning or a fine of 800 rubles.
No Pedestrians
The last prohibitory road sign that will be discussed in this article is pedestrian traffic prohibited:
This sign prohibits the movement of pedestrians, and its only peculiarity is that it applies only to the side of the road on which it is installed. Typically, this sign is installed on sections of roads where there are no sidewalks or shoulders, and driving on the roadway can be dangerous.
For violation of the requirements of this sign, the pedestrian will be punished in the form of a warning or a fine in the amount 500 rubles.
The next article in the series will look at the next ones.
Good luck on the roads!
These signs are the strictest of all road signs. After all, they introduce various prohibitions and restrictions. Prohibition signs have round shape and red border. The red color was not chosen by chance. It is clearly visible from afar and in the dark. The prohibitory sign tells drivers and pedestrians: “Attention! This cannot be done!”
Prohibition signs are intended mainly for drivers. But there are also some that every pedestrian should know. These signs require pedestrians to obey traffic rules.
Sign "No Pedestrians" directly affects pedestrians. It depicts a man with a red line through it. Isn't it true that the sign is very expressive? Anyone who looks at it will immediately understand that there should be no pedestrians in this place, they should not walk here. What kind of places are these? Tunnels, overpasses, sections of the road where repairs are underway.
Another prohibition sign that teenagers should definitely know is: "Bicycles are prohibited". Many of you love to ride a bike. We will also talk to you about where and how this can be done so as not to violate the Traffic Rules. But there are sections of roads where it is strictly forbidden to ride bicycles. This sign is placed in front of them.
As already mentioned, most prohibition signs are intended for drivers. Pedestrians do not need to have a detailed understanding of the operation of these signs. However, there are some that pedestrians need to know.
For example, there is a group of signs prohibiting the movement of either all vehicles or some of them. These signs include: “Entry prohibited”, “Traffic prohibited”, “Motor vehicle traffic prohibited”, “Truck traffic is prohibited”, “Motorcycle traffic is prohibited”. If you know what these signs prohibit, you will be able to determine whether you should be wary of any vehicles on the roads where these signs are posted.
Another group of signs restricts or prohibits certain types of vehicle movement. These signs include: “Right turn prohibited”, “Left turn prohibited”, “Turn prohibited”, “Overtaking prohibited”, “Restriction maximum speed" You can also add signs prohibiting stopping or parking of vehicles in a given place on the road.
Knowledge of prohibition signs helps pedestrians to correctly assess the situation on the road and avoid dangers associated with vehicle traffic.
Road signs. Mandatory signs. Signs of special regulations. Information signs. Service signs. Additional information signs
"Crosswalk"- This is an informational sign.
It indicates the location of the ground crossing of the roadway. This sign is installed near special markings for pedestrians - zebra crossings.
Please pay attention to the child that there is another similar sign, but triangular. It is a warning (triangular) sign, also called a "Pedestrian Crossing". It does not indicate the crossing point for pedestrians, but warns the driver when approaching the crossing.
"Underground pedestrian crossing"- This is an informational sign. This sign indicates the location of the underground passage of the roadway. Installed near the entrance to the passage.
If you have an underground passage on the way to kindergarten or school, be sure to show it to your child.
"Tram stop"- This is also an informational sign. He informs and points out to us what stops at this place public transport.
Parents should explain to the child that this road sign, like the previous one, is important for both pedestrians and drivers.
The pedestrian will find his way around where the stop is, and the driver will be careful, because there may be people (and especially children) at the stops.
When telling about this sign, be sure to repeat to your child how kids should behave at a stop (you can’t run or jump out onto the roadway).
"Bus Stop Location"- This is also an informational sign. He informs and points out to us that a bus stops at this place.
This sign is installed close to the landing area - the waiting area for passengers.
"Bike Lane"- this is a prescriptive sign. Allows movement only on bicycles and mopeds. Other types of transport are not allowed to enter it. By bike path Pedestrians can also move if there is no sidewalk or pedestrian path.
If your child already knows how to ride a bicycle, then you should explain to him that he can only ride his bicycle horse in the courtyard of the house. And the one where there is such a sign.
Bike paths are designed specifically for cyclists. Perhaps your city has such areas for cycling.
"Footpath"- a prescriptive sign. Sometimes there is a special path on the streets intended only for pedestrians.
On this path you must follow general rules behavior for pedestrians: adhere to right side; do not disturb other pedestrians.
Children should be explained that they are not allowed to play on the footpath or go sledding. Riding a bicycle on the pedestrian path is also prohibited.
"No entry"- this is a prohibition sign. All prohibition signs are red.
This sign prohibits the entry of any vehicles, including bicycles, onto the section of road in front of which it is installed.
Its effect does not apply only to public transport, the routes of which pass through this section. A cyclist, upon seeing this sign, must get off the bicycle and drive it along the sidewalk, observing the rules for pedestrian traffic.
Remind your child that if he is carrying his bike rather than riding it, he is considered a pedestrian.
"Bicycles are prohibited"- another prohibitory sign.
This sign prohibits the use of bicycles and mopeds. It is installed in places where riding a bicycle can be dangerous.
Typically this sign is placed on streets with heavy traffic.
It should be remembered that cycling is prohibited on highways, even if there is no prohibiting sign.
I believe that every child should know this sign and the rules associated with cycling, because children love to ride and, if possible, will want to ride on the road.
"Children"- warning sign.
This sign warns the driver about possible emergence children on the road. It is installed near a child care facility, for example, a school, a health camp, or a playground.
But parents should warn the child that this sign does not indicate a place for children to cross the road! Therefore, a child pedestrian must cross the street in a place where pedestrian crossing is permitted and there is an appropriate sign.
"No Pedestrians"- prohibition sign.
This sign prohibits the movement of pedestrians. It is installed in places where walking can be dangerous.
This sign is often used for time limit pedestrian movement, for example, during road works or renovation of house facades.
It should be remembered that pedestrian traffic is always prohibited on highways and roadways, even if a prohibitory sign is not installed.
Every pedestrian should know the traffic rules and follow them, including motorists. But not everyone knows that they also apply to pedestrians, since they are also road users.
And in the traffic rules there are special signs that are created specifically for pedestrians, so compliance with them is mandatory.
On their way, every pedestrian encounters certain traffic signs. And it is better if he is aware of their meanings, so as not to fall into awkward situation. All road signs for pedestrians are intended, first of all, to inform and warn them while walking along the street.
Information signs
Crosswalk
Such a sign informs pedestrians that there is an opportunity to cross the roadway on a specific section of the road. It has a square shape. And the same sign, but triangular shape, is intended for motorists who must be extremely careful in this area and allow pedestrians to pass.
According to traffic regulations, such an information sign should be installed near a zebra crossing, a special marking on the road along which pedestrians should move when driving through the roadway.
Underground crossing
Also serves as an information sign. And he informs citizens about the presence of an underground passage, which must be used if necessary to cross the road. It is especially important to teach this sign to children so that they always use the underground passage and not run across the roadway.
Bus stop
Designed to inform citizens that route vehicles are stopping at a given location. This sign must be installed directly at the passenger boarding area. It has a rectangular shape with a picture of a bus inside.
Tram station
The meaning is similar to the previous sign, only it will carry information about immediate location, where the trams stop. It will be easier for pedestrians to find their way if there are such signs on the street.
It is also installed in close proximity to where the vehicle stops. It is very important to explain to young children the rules of behavior in such places, and how dangerous it can be if they suddenly run out onto the roadway.
Mandatory signs
Footpath
Such a sign, according to the traffic rules, is prescriptive. And it is installed in those places that are areas for pedestrians. That is, there cannot be any type of transport here, including bicycles.
Since pedestrians are full participants in the road traffic, as the traffic rules state, they must follow the general rules of behavior on the road. Namely, stick to the right lane while driving, and not create interference for other citizens.
A designation such as the beginning of a pedestrian zone will look like an image of a person in a circle on a blue background.
Bike Lane
It is also a prescriptive designation. By appearance similar to the sign about the beginning of a pedestrian path, then instead of a person, there is a picture of a bicycle.
Such a sign will indicate that bicycles and mopeds are allowed in this place. All other types of transport are prohibited here. Pedestrians can also walk on the bike path if there is no sidewalk nearby.
Such designated zones are created in cities specifically for movement on these types of transport. It is definitely worth teaching children to recognize this sign if it is available in the city. Then their cycling in the specified area will be safe.
Prohibition signs
Entry ban
This sign is classified as a prohibition sign. This sign means that further movement through the territory in front of which the sign is placed is not permitted. This applies to any vehicle, including bicycles. If a person on a bicycle needs to overcome a section of the road that is prohibited for transport, they simply need to continue further movement, but as a pedestrian, carrying his bicycle nearby.
This sign is known to everyone as a “brick”, a white rectangle in a circle on a red background. It is worth noting here that all signs that prohibit this or that action are red.
Bicycles are prohibited
A prohibitory sign looks like an image of a bicycle on a white background in a circle with a red frame. Its installation is appropriate in places where riding bicycles may be dangerous. These are usually busy sections of the road. Also, it is worth noting that you cannot ride a bicycle on the highway, even if there is no prohibiting sign there.
Pedestrian traffic is prohibited
In appearance, such a prohibitory sign is an image of a person crossed out with a red line, in a circle on a white background and in a red frame.
Also, they install it in places where, according to traffic regulations, it would be dangerous to move on foot. And this is not just a busy highway or highway. Such a sign can be installed as a temporary designation on certain sections of the road. For example. When road work is carried out, or repair work on house facades is carried out. Areas dangerous for pedestrians must be equipped with appropriate signs. And pedestrians, in turn, must know them and follow the rules.
