8.17 disabled people and also markings 1.24 3. Law on parking spaces for disabled people
Russian legislation determined that in parking lots near social, shopping, and residential facilities a “Parking for the Disabled” sign should be installed. The coverage area of this sign according to the traffic rules is precisely specified. 10% of the total parking area should be allocated for parking for disabled people. Near medical institutions, whose profile is musculoskeletal system, — 20%.
Usually, along with the “Parking for the Disabled” sign, there is a corresponding marking on the asphalt. The image of the road sign and the mark on the ground are similar - it is a person in a wheelchair.
The standard size of a parking space for such drivers should be 3.6 meters wide and 6 meters long. That is, it is wider than usual. This is done so that neighboring cars do not interfere with the disabled person’s movement from the car out and back.
If there are no road markings, then parking for the disabled is considered to be an area of 3.5 meters on the right and on the left side sign. Regarding the size of one place, you can focus on following rules:
If the parking sign is for persons with disabilities no, but there are marks on the road surface, then healthy drivers are not prohibited from leaving their cars in these places. This point is an omission of the parking lot owner. But in order to avoid troubles and claims from the traffic police, it is better not to leave the car in places for disabled people.
Disability icon on car
In order to legally leave a car in a “disabled” place, the corresponding sticker must be on the windshield of the car. In this case, the owner of the car must, upon the first request of the traffic police inspector, show a certificate of disability of group I or II. Disabled people Group III are not entitled to use discounted parking. A disabled person must have a badge on his car. And practice shows that without it, cars are often towed without understanding who owns it.
If there is a sticker on the car, but in fact the driver or one of the passengers is not disabled, then in this case there will be a significant fine. A disability badge is not considered proof of limited physical abilities; for these purposes there must be a medical document. A healthy driver should not take risks to find an empty parking space.
The sticker indicating the disability of the driver or passenger looks like a yellow square measuring 15*15 cm. It depicts a person in a wheelchair. For deaf and deaf-mute drivers, there is a sign in the form of a yellow square with three large dots resembling a face.
What other rights do disabled people have when parking?
The presence of limited abilities of the driver and a confirming badge on the car give him the right to stop the car where parking is prohibited according to the rules. It is also allowed to drive such a car where there is an instruction about a complete ban on movement.
Near the parking lot, an entrance to the sidewalk in the form of a ramp should be provided for disabled drivers. The structure and handrails should be bright yellow.
If a disabled person is in the car as a passenger, then the car has the right to park in a “disabled” space only when this passenger is in the cabin. If the car is without an incapacitated person, then parking in a preferential space is a violation.
Fine
Compare the numbers of possible fines associated with parking violations:
- violation of simple parking rules – 500 rubles;
- violation of parking rules for disabled people – 5 thousand rubles;
- submission of a fake document indicating the presence of disability – 5 thousand rubles.
Unfair punishment
There are situations when you really have the right to park your car in a parking lot for the disabled, but the inspector makes a complaint. This could be when the disabled person came out with his medical documents, or you saw him off and returned to your car. Disabled person on this moment no, although he was here a minute ago.
If you have been fined unreasonably, you can take the following actions:
- Within 10 days after receiving a copy of the decision, send a complaint to the head of the inspector. In Moscow, fines are issued by both the traffic police and MADI. The latter can be identified by the code on the receipt - 782 or 035604.
- Appeal in court. If the case is decided in your favor, you will be refunded the amount of the fine and the towing fee.
It makes sense to take such actions when there are real evidence in your favor. This is a video recording from a video recorder in your own car or another that was nearby. You can find out if there is CCTV footage.
Parking permit
This document is needed for a disabled person to park a car for free in a paid parking lot. Moscow authorities keep records of parking permits for people with disabilities.
Permission can be obtained for cars that:
- are the property of a person with disabilities;
- are the property of parents, guardians, adoptive parents of a disabled child;
- are the property of the person transporting the disabled person;
- were issued to incapacitated citizens by social protection authorities.
Apply for parking permit need to go to the multifunctional center. In addition, the following documents will be required:
- passport of the applicant or his representative;
- document on disability;
- document on the powers of the representative of a child with a disability.
The application will be reviewed within 10 days. You can send your application and scanned documents through the government services website.
Video about liability for parking violations
So, briefly about the most important things. If you have a physical disability or carry a disabled person in your car, place a special image on your windshield. Only disabled people can park in disabled spaces and must have a medical certificate with them. To use paid parking lots for free, you can issue a document called a parking permit.
I parked within the coverage area of the "8.2.6" sign.
It is charged that I “failed to comply with the requirement of the road sign “6.4” with the plate “8.17” and “8.2.6”. But we know from the traffic rules that the sign “8.2.6” indicates the direction (to the left) and the coverage area of the signs “3.27” - “3.30”, while stopping or parking is prohibited along one side of the square, the facade of the building and with the sign “6.4” does not apply. Likewise, the CEP suggests that the sign is not an independent element and is installed only with the sign, and does not extend its influence to another sign that still hangs under the sign.“Explanation on the procedure for use and coverage area of road sign 6.4 “Parking, parking space” installed together with the road sign additional information(sign) 8.17 “Disabled people.” It directly says:
In accordance with the requirements of clause 5.9.6 GOST R 52289-2004 " Technical means organizations traffic. Rules for the use of road signs, markings..." road signs for additional information (placards) 8.2.5(6) "Validity area" together with signs 6.4 "Parking area" - do not apply
GOST R 52289-2004 states that of all the additional information signs of section 8.2 “Validity area” with sign 6.4 “Parking area” only plate 8.2.1 can be used, and plates 8.2.2-8.2.6 “Validity area” can only be used with signs 3.27-3.30.
GOST R 52289-2004 Technical means of organizing traffic. Rules for the use of road signs, markings, traffic lights, road barriers and guide devices.
5.9.5 Plate 8.2.1 “Area of Effect” is used:
- with sign 6.4 installed with a sign(s) clarifying or limiting its effect, while sign 8.2.1 is placed under other signs if the sign’s effect does not extend to the nearest intersection.
5.9.6 Plates 8.2.2-8.2.6 “Value area” are used only with signs 3.27-3.30:
- plates 8.2.5 and 8.2.6 - to indicate the coverage area of the sign, to the right and (or) to the left of it, when stopping or parking is prohibited along the edge of the roadway of the square, the facade of a building, etc.In the traffic rules: DECISION of October 23, 1993 N 1090 ON THE ROAD RULES Appendix 1 to the Traffic Rules:
8. Additional information signs (plates):
8.2.2 - 8.2.6 "Coverage area". 8.2.2 indicates the coverage area of prohibitory signs 3.27 - 3.30; 8.2.3 indicates the end of the coverage area of signs 3.27 - 3.30; 8.2.4 informs drivers that they are in the coverage area of signs 3.27 - 3.30; 8.2.5, 8.2.6 indicate the direction and coverage area of signs 3.27 - 3.30 when stopping or parking is prohibited along one side of the square, the facade of a building, etc.Consequently, plate 8.2.6 “Area of Operation” under sign 6.4 “Parking Place”, as well as plate 8.17 “Disabled Persons” above sign 6.4, were installed in violation of the requirements of GOST and traffic rules.
There are a lot of such signs all over the city. And 3 official documents say that such a configuration of the sign is not permissible. Where to look for the truth?
More fun:
There were 2 mistakes made in the protocol: that I “did not comply with the requirement of the road sign “6.4” with the sign “8.2.5”, and “8.2.5” is a sign with an arrow to the right and the location of the offense is indicated on the street. Rokossovsky 3. This residential building is located on the other side of the street, 70m from the sign, the requirements of which I allegedly violated. But the sign is installed about 8 meters from the Maria-ra store at the address: st. Rokossovsky 2a. And for some reason I thought that since the case materials were compiled with errors, they did not have legal force, well, at least because the “8.2.5” sign is not on this sign and in the place indicated by the protocol there is neither a parking lot nor this sign. But the Ilyinsk judge “Kora*ovskaya” considered that she was smarter than mere mortals and left the ruling unchanged; the Kemerovo court also left the ruling unchanged. And I am only challenging the protocol because of mistakes made.
Now for the sign: if only you knew what ridiculous replies the king of all NVKZ traffic policemen Glotov writes on this sign! This is just cruel, I’m surprised how he still holds his post, he was talking such nonsense when I came to the meeting, I don’t know what I wanted more, to laugh or cry. He's not much of a lawyer. The manager seems to be too.
In the first reply they wrote that they were not in business at all and had nothing to do with the signs! Can you imagine? I even began to doubt that if someone wants to install a sign, he will simply go to DORZNAK and buy it and he does not need to coordinate the installation with the traffic police! And in the second reply he wrote, attention!: “Most likely the sign was installed due to the fact that in the winter season the markings on the asphalt are not visible” (Meaning a sign for a disabled person painted on the asphalt). Can you imagine?! - "MORE LIKELY"! Despite the fact that the violation took place in September, there is video recording and the heat was 20 degrees. And this is written by the head of the traffic police! I was sick of such a statement and made a conclusion for myself: most likely it’s time for him to retire, it looks like he overworked himself.
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, Federal Law "On social protection disabled people in Russian Federation" means that at every parking (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, organizations are located culture and other organizations), places of recreation, at least 10 percent of the spaces (but not less than one space) are allocated for parking special vehicles for people with disabilities. The specified parking spaces should 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 this does not give healthy person not the slightest right to occupy it, trump legal subtleties in front of 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.

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 different 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 general rules stops and parking. 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, as well as 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 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 everything Required documents, confirming the 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 applied 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.

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 everyone is the owner road transport 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:
- The sign, markings and indicator must be located at the end of the parking lot.
- It should be located front side to 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:
- Parking lots located nearby public places, sometimes visited by disabled people, it is customary to allocate a tenth of the parking area for their vehicles.
- 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:
- 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.
- 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
- Permission can be obtained in any city, regardless of where you are registered.
- Registration takes 10 working days. It is valid for one year.
- 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 driver's license or initiate legal proceedings when parking in a disabled spot.
None of the projects have been accepted yet, but they exist next system fines:
- individual 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:
- You must contact the phone number (address) indicated on the alert.
- 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.

Marking a parking space for the disabled
Under the “Parking for the Disabled” sign, in most cases there is a special marking that duplicates the road sign. In accordance with paragraph 6.2.28, marking 1.24.3 is used to designate the section of the road and parking spaces, entrances and exits, which are intended for cars driven by disabled people (group 1 or 2) or persons who transport them. In her absence, the driver who occupied preferential seat for parking, will also be fined.
In accordance with paragraph 5.1.3, the effect of the sign applies not only to parking spaces, but also to the side of the road, tram tracks, roadways, pedestrian and bicycle paths and bicycle paths near which they are installed.

Rules for placing parking spaces for disabled people
The organization of parking spaces for disabled people must be carried out in strict accordance with established rules. If they are violated, the owner of the parking lot will be held administratively liable (Article 5.43 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). The fine for an official varies from 3 to 5 thousand rubles, and for a legal entity - from 30 to 50 thousand rubles.
If there is a sidewalk near the parking lot, then, in accordance with traffic regulations, a special ramp must be installed, designed for the entry and lifting of a wheelchair.
- The design is made in the form of a special path, which is installed starting from the roadway and ending with the curb that borders the pedestrian area.
- The width of the structure should be at least 90 cm, and the color should be bright, usually yellow (to attract attention).
- To ensure the proper level of safety, ramps are equipped with fencing posts on which special markings are applied.
Persons covered by the sign
Starting from 2016, only those cars that are equipped with special stickers on the windshield can park in the area under the “Parking for the Disabled” sign. It must be performed in yellow color and have a size of 15 cm.
The driver who drives the vehicle, at the request of the traffic police officers, must present a certificate that confirms the 1st or 2nd group disability of either the owner or the passenger.
Citizens with disability group 3 do not have the right to use specially designated parking spaces.
What to do if the driver has to periodically transport a person with disabilities in his car? In this case, you can purchase not stickers, but special plates that are equipped with suction cups (easily attached and removed).
Disabled people of groups 1 and 2 have the right not only to use specially designated parking spaces, but also to stop the vehicle in public places and where parking is generally prohibited. Travel is also permitted on those roads where the “No Traffic” sign is installed.
Applying for a parking permit
Obtain permission to use preferential parking spaces All citizens of the Russian Federation can apply, regardless of registration. To obtain a parking license, you must follow a certain algorithm.
- Contact the MFC (multifunctional center).
- Indicate the registration number and deadlines in the register.
- Enter the personal data of the disabled person (full name, place of residence, contacts).

- Name of the preferential category and SNILS.
- Date of installation and duration of disability.
It takes no more than 10 days to review the package of documents. It is not necessary to appear in person at the MFC; you can send a legal representative or fill out an online application via the Internet.
The right to obtain a parking permit will only apply to persons who own the vehicle, legal representatives disabled children and owners of cars issued by social protection authorities according to available medical indications. Persons who own a vehicle and provide transportation services for disabled people will also be able to use the permit.
Responsibility for violation of parking rules
Administrative responsibility extends not only to those involved in allocating seats for disabled people, but also to drivers who ignore traffic rules. Violators are subject to a fine of 5 thousand rubles. In accordance with Art. 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the driver not only pays a fine, but also his vehicle excluded from the transportation process. With the help of a tow truck, the offender’s car is moved to the nearest specialized parking lot (protected place).
IN last years penalties for parking in in the wrong place are constantly being tightened, today a driver can pay a tidy sum for a number of violations in this area. Moreover, it is almost impossible to challenge such a fine, and, as we know, there are no mitigating circumstances on the road.
The law is especially harsh on those who try to occupy a disabled parking space without justification. The traffic police requirements here are so strict that even for a disabled person, such parking can cost a pretty penny if he forgets about the formalities.
Disabled parking fine
Very often you can hear the following phrase from drivers: why was I fined, because I only stopped for 2 minutes? However, in this case, the law is harsh and is interpreted unambiguously; as soon as the car enters the parking lot, a violation has been committed and it is almost impossible to challenge it.
In accordance with Article 12.19. According to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, starting from 2011, a driver for illegal parking in a space for disabled people is punishable by a fine of in the amount of 5000 rubles.
Interestingly, traffic police inspectors are very fond of these violations.
- Firstly, there are a lot of violators.
- Secondly, such violations are very easy to prove in court.
Therefore, “bread” places do not remain without the attention of traffic police for a long time.
Despite the severity of the punishment, the number of violations here remains quite large. But it is steadily decreasing; according to the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, drivers here practically never relapse, since the price for this offense is high, not only for an ordinary driver, but also for a representative of the middle class.
Why do we need packages for the disabled?
Anyone with a disability can park in regular parking. However, if at the clinic, for example, there is no free space, park a block further and walk to the place on foot, for a disabled person, serious problem, and therefore it is humane to ensure that socially significant objects always have free places.
Other important reason appearance large quantity special places for cars of people with disabilities - this is the law “On social protection of disabled people in the Russian Federation” requiring the organization of special parking in all parking lots, municipal parking lots, areas near supermarkets and private paid parking lots. A total of 10% of the parking space should be allocated for these purposes.
Violation of this law, according to Article 5.43. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, entails a fine, which For legal entities is 50,000 rubles. Of course, it is much cheaper to install a penny sign than to pay a tidy sum after each inspection.
Disabled parking signs
According to current rules, parking for disabled people is marked with three signs.
- Parking (No. 6.4)
- Disabled person sign (No. 8.17)
- An auxiliary sign indicating the parking area.
As an auxiliary sign, special markings are often used in parking space 1.24.3, which is a rectangle measuring 1.6 by 0.8 meters with the symbol “disabled” inside.
Places for disabled people near supermarkets
And so, according to the law, every tenth parking space near parking lots near shopping centers and supermarkets must be reserved for people with disabilities, but are they in the zone under the jurisdiction of the traffic police, and will a fine be issued if you stand in this place.
Here the answer is clear: if the driver is caught in this violation, a protocol for an administrative offense is immediately drawn up, and a fine will have to be paid. According to the law, all, and not just this, violations of traffic rules in any parking lot are the responsibility of the road patrol service. The supermarket or security workers themselves cannot act as the rooting authority. They can only politely ask you to move to another place, or report violations to the traffic police.
Who is the disabled parking for?
Special parking is intended for disabled people of groups 1 and 2, with the appropriate identification and sign on the windshield of the car. Moreover, even if the driver has a sign, they can check his documents.
However, the law takes into account that not all disabled people are able to move independently. Many people use specially adapted cars, regular taxis, cars of relatives and friends, or delegate control of their transport to others.
In this case, you can install “Disabled” on cars and stop at a special parking lot. However, only if it is currently transporting a person with disabilities. In other cases, the permit is not valid and the car must be parked under general conditions.
Violation of this rule or illegal installation of a “disabled person” sign on a car is punishable in accordance with Articles 12.4 and 12.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation a fine of 5,000 rubles.
There are situations when there is a disabled person in the car, but there is no corresponding sign on the car. For example, a neighbor asked to take him to the supermarket or urgently needed to take a person to the doctor. This is not considered a violation. The traffic police officer must personally issue a fine, making sure that the driver or his passenger does not have a license for disabled people of the 1st or 2nd group. Only in this case will the violation be recorded by law.
Many people believe that there are too many places for disabled people and nothing will happen if they take one of them. However, we must not forget that the new infrastructure for people with disabilities was created so that they could live full life ordinary person, as much as possible. But not for ordinary drivers to put themselves in the shoes of disabled people.
