What is more important markup or sign. What is more important: sign or markup? Temporary signs

Road sign and/or markings , which is more important? This question worries many car owners, because often we are faced with a situation where a road sign prescribes one thing, and the markings are completely different and it is not clear what has priority, sign or marking . These cases are the result of the slow or inconsistent work of the road services that rearranged the sign, and the application of new markings planned for the next month, traffic police errors, as a result of which inconsistency of markup and signs etc.,

cases contradictions of markup and signs are very different, for example:

The marking allows turning right or left, but the sign does not, and vice versa;

Sign prohibits overtaking ( no overtaking), and the markup is broken or completely absent ( without markup);

The coloring of the curb prohibits stopping, and the sign allows parking on certain days;

The sign allows turning from a certain lane, and the markings only from another lane;

And many other cases.

In order to understand how to behave in a situation where there is inconsistency or contradiction between a road sign and markings and it is unclear what a priority, first of all, it should be remembered that a number of collisions with temporary signs and markings are clearly permitted by the Rules of the Road and are not included in the subject of disputes.

"COUNCIL OF MINISTERS - THE GOVERNMENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION DECISION dated October 23, 1993 N 1090 "ON RULES OF THE TRAFFIC"
Article 8 of Appendix 1 - In cases where the meanings of temporary road signs (on a portable stand) and stationary signs contradict each other, drivers must be guided by temporary signs.

clause 1.25. Appendix 2 - In cases where the meanings of road signs, including temporary ones (placed on a portable support), and horizontal marking lines contradict each other or the markings are not sufficiently distinguishable, drivers should be guided by road signs.

clause 1.25. Annex 2 - In cases where temporary marking lines and permanent marking lines contradict each other, drivers must be guided by temporary marking lines.

At the same time, horizontal marking lines are understood as both permanent and temporary marking lines, which is established by Article 1 of Appendix 2 to the SDA. Permanent markings are white, except for lines 1.4, 1.10 and 1.17 yellow, temporary markings are orange

IMPORTANT. Please note that a temporary sign must be on a portable stand, this is directly enshrined in traffic rules! If a traffic police officer tries to pass off as a temporary sign - a sign with some other installation method, for example, a sign on a pole, fence or car - such a sign cannot be considered a temporary sign in accordance with the traffic rules, which you must specify in the Protocol and Scheme , requiring changes to be made to them and the correct designation of signs.

Thus, the following cases of non-compliance and are clearly regulated by the rules, which can be represented in the form of the following table, where the priority is highlighted in red:

Thus, at present, almost all cases of conflict between trembling signs and markings are regulated by the Rules of the Road.

Interesting is the fact that even a permanent traffic sign has priority over temporary markings, i.e. the principle of the primacy of any temporary changes over permanent signs and markings, which was in effect before, is not valid to some extent, which the driver needs to keep in mind.

However, not everything is so rosy, it would seem that all cases have been settled, all issues should be removed, but in fact the following problem remains:

Contradictions between signs or road markings of the same status. Yes, yes, just as practice shows, there are often situations when two permanent signs contradict each other, or two temporary signs, or several contradictory yellow markings are applied to the asphalt (the old one has not yet been erased, but the repair area has moved and applied new one).

This issue is resolved on the basis of the instructions of the traffic police, the text of which is given below in the historical background.

HISTORICAL REFERENCE

Before the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 10, 2010 N 316 was issued, not all cases were described in the traffic rules contradictions of signs and markings and the table was incomplete. It was these cases that were of the greatest interest to us.

Two most interesting cases were not described in the traffic rules, which, as a result, caused many disputes and courts:

Stationary sign contradicts temporary marking;

The stationary sign is contrary to permanent markings.

Let's look at the previous rules in relation to these two cases in more detail.

The stationary sign contradicts the time marking.

For some reason, this case was undeservedly ignored by specialists and left to the mercy of the traffic police. The layman has a belief that for the purposes of traffic rules, everything temporary takes precedence over permanent and every motorist is ready to agree with the traffic police officer that temporary markup takes precedence and over permanent markings and over stationary signs. But in fact, as we could see above, reading excerpts from the traffic rules, this is just a delusion, there were no such explanations in the traffic rules regarding contradictions between temporary marking and stationary sign, respectively, we received a legal conflict, and all doubts, as you know, are interpreted in favor of the accused.

RUSSIAN FEDERATION

CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

ON ADMINISTRATIVE VIOLATIONS

Article 1.5. Presumption of innocence

4. Irremovable doubts about the guilt of a person brought to administrative responsibility shall be interpreted in favor of this person.”

However, as we know, such declarative norms are rarely observed, and therefore we will return to the resolution of this situation below.

The stationary sign is contrary to permanent markings.

This case, which in principle should not arise, but arises due to Russian reality, was also not reflected in the legislation in any way. However, in this case, the leadership of the traffic police came to our aid in 2008 quite unexpectedly, for which we can thank you very much, and wish you to continue to work just as clearly and guard the interests of drivers.

Here's what the traffic police said:

On complaints and appeals on the issue of bringing citizens to administrative responsibility for violation of traffic rules related to driving to the side of the road intended for oncoming traffic.

IN Lately cases of complaints and appeals of citizens to the Department of Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia on the issue of bringing them to administrative responsibility for violating traffic rules related to driving onto the side of the road intended for oncoming traffic have become more frequent. At the same time, in the situations described, the horizontal marking lines do not meet the requirements of road signs.
The most common cases are when there is a horizontal marking 1.5 on the road surface, separating traffic flows in opposite directions, and a road sign 3.20 "Overtaking is prohibited" is installed without specifying the area of ​​validity of the introduced restriction or installing a road sign 3.21 "End of overtaking prohibition".

This combination of the above technical means of traffic management is unacceptable.
The above facts testify to the failure to comply with the instructions of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated August 1, 2007 No. 1/6080 regarding the exclusion of the facts of unreasonably installed road signs and applied roadway marking lines.

When exercising traffic supervision, as well as when considering disputable situations, when it is established that the horizontal marking lines do not meet the requirements of established road signs, the situation should be interpreted in favor of road users.

In accordance with the foregoing, in order to ensure road safety, as well as the observance of the legal rights of participants in the transport process,

REQUIRE:
To continue the implementation of the instruction of the Minister of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation dated August 1, 2007 No. 1/6080 regarding the exclusion of the facts of unreasonably installed road signs and applied roadway marking lines.

If cases of non-compliance of horizontal marking lines with the requirements of road signs are identified, take measures against responsible officials in accordance with the powers granted.

Pay special attention to the validity of the imposed traffic restrictions during road construction works, as well as after their completion.

Take this work under daily control.

Report on the work done to the Department of Traffic Safety of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia before 01.09.2008.

Chief State Road Safety Inspector
Russian Federation Lieutenant-General of Militia V.N. Kiryanov

Department of traffic police of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

Thus, the leadership of the traffic police resolved doubts in our favor, and returning to the previous case, when a stationary sign contradicts temporary markings, since 2008 we could rely on this instruction and refer to this document.

Thus, from 2008 until the May 2010 amendments to the traffic rules, in cases 5.6, the situation should have been interpreted in your favor, regardless of what requirements you fulfill - a permanent road sign or permanent or temporary markings. At the same time, in case 5, according to established practice, it was still recommended to be guided by the requirements of temporary marking, although this position was not based on traffic rules, as we indicated above.

Since May 2010, a permanent road sign has priority over both permanent and temporary markings, which must be borne in mind when making maneuvers.

How to behave in cases of occurrence of one of the described situations?

In cases of such situations discrepancies or contradictions of the road sign and markings in a conversation with a traffic police officer, you must refer to the Rules of the Road (the necessary excerpts are given above). This should be done immediately, when you were stopped, quickly assessing the situation. By showing your awareness, you will prevent violation of your rights.

In this article, we will consider a question that worries a huge number of novice car owners - what is the markup or symbol of more value? Indeed, such a question is very appropriate except when the need for road signs and road markings is controversial.

Immediately willing to see that often signs and markings
are duplicated by each other or are mutually complementary, i.e. no contradictions appear.
Obviously, in similar cases, the question of the primacy of characters or markup is not
appropriate. But the contradictions between signs and markup are still not unique on
roads, therefore, this issue needs painstaking research.

At the moment, we will consider both temporary signs and markings,
contradicting each other, as well as unchanging signs, and markings.

Temporary road
symbol and markup

What is the difference between temporary road signs and markings
from their constant opponents? Temporary and permanent differ in that they
mounted on portable racks.

The temporary sign has a carrier made from hammered together
crosswise bars. In some situations on portable racks
they set up permanent signs, but their pillars are driven into the ground. It means you need
be aware that not at least some symbol "Roadworks" is considered portable.

Temporary marking differs from permanent marking only in color.
Permanent markings are usually painted snow-white, and temporary markings are orange. IN
the real moment we meet temporary markings on the roads quite rarely, but it
you have to wait and be ready for it.

Thus, we have four groups of these parts, which
equip the road: permanent and temporary signs; permanent and temporary
markup. We will consider the value of each separately below.

What is more important

First, let's create a mapping between temporary and immutable
signs. Appendix 1 of Chapter 8 of the SDA correctly explains this situation. IN
intermediate list in descending order of values ​​is described as follows:

• temporary
  road symbol;
• unaltered
  road symbol;
• temporary
  road markings;
• unchanged
  road markings.

So what conclusions can be drawn? 1st: any road
the symbol is more important than the markup. 2nd: temporary marking dominates the one that
is unchanged.

Thus, if a contradictory situation appeared on
road, you must first follow the temporary road signs, later
immutable characters, etc. by the list. Pay attention to what
temporary markings have no priority over permanent road signs.

Some examples
conflicts between road signs and markings

Situations with contradictions on the road do not appear so often.
It is much more common for drivers to misunderstand the meanings. Because
In this article, we will look at some examples so that you can better understand
situation.

1. Detour
repaired road in the opposite lane.

A temporary symbol 4.2.2 was installed on the road, they also applied
permanent markup 1.3:

In this case, the contradiction begins again, because
marking 1.3 is forbidden to cross, and the symbol 4.2.2 directly points to
obligatory crossing markup.

The temporary symbol prevails, and therefore go around
repaired road on an oncoming road is considered lawful.

Here are some situations in which there are no contradictions, but
far from all drivers will be able to find it quickly.

2. Overtaking if
there is a symbol 3.20 and markup 1.5

The symbol 3.20 "No overtaking" was installed on the road and
horizontal markings 1.5:

In this case, the situation is interpreted as follows:

• At
  road sign 3.20 overtaking is prohibited.
• At
  marking 1.5 is not forbidden to drive into the oncoming road.

In sum, all these signs mean that the driver is allowed
drive into the lane that is opposite in order to perform any maneuver, but not
overtaking. It means that he can turn left, turn around, go around in the opposite direction
road.

Some drivers believe that when marking 1.5 it is allowed
do overtaking. No, this is not correct. Markup 1.5 gives no
additional permission. If it is, you just need to move in
these borders, where marked with stripes.

3. Overtaking when available
symbol 3.21 and markups 1.1 are located

Here is another example that is similar to the previous one. On road
set symbol 3.21 “end of no-overtaking zone” and marked 1.1:

In this case:

• markup
  1.1 - the prohibition of any exit to the oncoming road - this also means
  overtaking.
• Symbol
  3.21 - designation of the end of the zone prohibiting overtaking. Need to see what
  the symbol prohibits overtaking, it only indicates that the zone has ended.

Many drivers do not understand this at all, they try to walk
overtaking, driving into a continuous line of markings and lose their rights for this, while
deservedly.

Usually, road signs and road markings completely duplicate each other or complement each other without conflicting. However, sometimes there are situations when a contradiction is still observed, for example, during road works, large accidents, during special operations or exercises at nearby training grounds.

If you clearly see that the markings and road signs contradict each other, then you should not worry and think about how to act in this situation. The road rules have all the answers to the questions that arise.

First, it should be clearly understood that road signs are temporary and permanent. After the latest changes in the SDA, temporary signs are displayed on a yellow background and they take precedence over permanent signs.
Secondly, the markings can also be permanent - applied with white paint on the asphalt, and temporary - orange. Temporary markings take precedence over permanent markings.
Thirdly, a road sign is always more important than markings.

Thus, the following picture emerges in order of priority:

• signs on a yellow background - temporary - their requirements are met in the first place;
• permanent signs - they are more important than both permanent and temporary markings;
• temporary marking - orange;
• constant.

Many different situations can be cited when signs and markings come into conflict with each other. For example, the presence of a permanent continuous marking indicates that it is impossible to cross it, that is, overtaking and any maneuvers with exit to the oncoming one are prohibited. However, if there is a sign “Obstacle avoidance on the left” at the same time, then you can easily neglect the markup requirement and not be afraid that you will be fined for non-compliance with traffic rules.

If, for example, there is a sign “end of the no-overtaking zone” and a solid marking is applied, then this indicates that it is forbidden to drive into the oncoming lane to overtake, since this sign does not allow overtaking, but only indicates the end of the prohibition zone. That is, in this case, the sign and markup complement each other. If in this case a marking was applied that allowed driving into the oncoming lane, then overtaking could be done without fear of losing the rights.

Today I propose to think about the question - what is more important sign or markup? On many highways, signs sometimes contradict road markings. Let's look at this question today in order to know what to navigate ...

Why did I have such a question! Yes, because in our city there is one interesting intersection. The stop line marking before the traffic light is much further than the stop sign line. And when you drive, you don’t know why you should navigate either by a sign or by a marking line. Moreover, the difference is significant about 4 - 5 meters. (between sign and markup). So what is more important sign or markup?

To begin with, we will analyze permanent road signs and markings, in the second paragraph we will talk about temporary signs and temporary markings.

1) Permanent road signs and permanent markings

According to Appendix No. 2 to the SDA (Road markings and its characteristics, as amended by Decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation of 01.24.2001 N 67,
dated 25.09.2003 N 595, dated 14.12.2005 N 767, dated 16.02.2008 N 84), one can understand

« That any road signs are more important than any road markings»

That is, if we attribute this to our case (stop line or stop sign), the conclusion suggests itself - if we pass a stop sign and stand at the stop line, then we are violating traffic rules. In simple words must stop at the stop sign, even though the stop line is much farther away.

2) Temporary signs and temporary markings

If you stick to the same application number 2:

« In cases where the meanings of temporary road signs placed on a portable stand and marking lines contradict each other, drivers should be guided by the signs. In cases where temporary marking lines and permanent marking lines contradict each other, drivers should be guided by temporary marking lines»
(edition of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 24.01.2001 N 67)

That is, temporary marking is always more important than usual. Also temporary signs, more important than ordinary signs.

It must be remembered that temporary signs are not installed on a permanent basis, but on the so-called "portable racks". But temporary road signs can also be found on permanent posts.

Temporary road markings are usually orange, and if they conflict with permanent road signs and permanent markings white color, then it is worth focusing on it. Because she is the main one.

Now let's sum it up:

As you can see, we have four groups.

- permanent markup

- Temporary markup

So who is in charge in this situation? So here's the final list.

1) The most important is a temporary sign, because according to Appendix No. 2 to the SDA (any road signs are more important than road markings). And accordingly, a temporary road sign is more important than a permanent road sign. Thus, the temporary road sign has the highest priority.

2) Permanent road sign. It is in second place (Appendix No. 2 to the SDA)

3) Temporary road markings. Temporary markings are more important than regular road markings.

4) And the latest is permanent markup.

This is exactly how the list is set up. I think my article will help you to move around the city and on the highway correctly without violating traffic rules. For today I have everything.

At a driving school? Especially for you, we will consider the moment when, both in the city and on the highway, motorists are faced with the following question: the installed road signs fundamentally do not coincide with the road markings. Autoinstructors they will explain what is more important on the road: temporary signs or road markings, because they often contradict each other.

What is a temporary mark?

For example, such a situation often occurs with the markings "solid line" or "dashed line" and with the sign " No overtaking".

Note that the temporary road sign has priority. And if you are accused of violating traffic rules, then the inspector can legally (and it will be correct) refer to this fact. However, it should be borne in mind that traffic police officers are not always right, especially when the signs are not installed according to the rules.

A temporary sign is a sign with a yellow background on a special portable stand. If the sign is fixed on a pole, a tree, taped to the main stand with adhesive tape, then it is no longer temporary.

In other cases, there should be no contradictions, that is, all disputes will be interpreted unambiguously, namely: if the requirement of road signs is not consistent with the markings, then this is a violation of requirements and norms. Thus, motorists should not be held responsible for this.

Temporary and permanent markup

Today, temporary markings are quite rare, but you must always be prepared for their appearance on the road. First of all, you should know how these two types of markups differ.

The main difference is the color. The permanent markings on the road are mostly white. As for the temporary, its color is orange.

Examples of contradictions between markup and signs

As mentioned above, conflicting situations on the road do not often arise. More often, drivers misinterpret the meanings of signs and markings. Here are some of the most common examples of such situations.

Detour of the section of the road where the repair is underway, in the oncoming lane

By the way, many believe this: marking 1.5 gives the right to overtake. This is wrong. This marking simply allows you to move within the boundaries of the marked lane.

Be careful and good luck on the road!
