How does an intersection differ from the surrounding area?


When is it worth giving in to someone who is leaving the yard?

Resolving a difficult oncoming traffic situation in a narrow area depends on the common sense and maneuvering capabilities of both participants. Experts advise doing the following:

  1. The one who has more room for maneuver gives way, first of all, for whom it is safer to drive in reverse.
  2. If one of the participants lacks common sense and respect for the opponent, then the “Three D” rule applies.

That is, if there is a possibility for several cars to pass in the yard, then it is better to hand it back to the driver of the car leaving. If the yard is narrow or filled with parked cars, then it would be wiser if the car entering the yard gives way.

Experts advise motorists who are planning to turn into a yard with a single-lane driveway not to take advantage of their traffic rules and let cars leaving the yard area pass. This will avoid the situation of “oncoming traffic” on a narrow section. A potential conflict with other road users will cost more than gaining a few seconds on a turn.

Geometric intersections

This chapter is under development.

A possible data set for intervals is IP-by-country.csv 70,865 IP address ranges and the corresponding country.

Crossroads.

Given n closed intervals [ai, bi], find all pairs of intervals that overlap. Sweep Line Consider events in ascending order of endpoints, where an event is either the left endpoint or the right endpoint. Maintain a symbol table of active intervals. When considering the left endpoint of interval i, define all intervals in the symbol table as intersections with interval i. When the right endpoint of interval i is considered, remove it from the symbol table. Program Interval1D.java data type for intervals. The IntervalIntersection.java program takes a command line argument N, generates N random intervals, and uses the algorithm described above to detect all pairwise intersections. (Degeneracies: intervals of length 0, two intervals that overlap at one point. All processed.) We do not assume duplication of intervals.

Vertical-horizontal intersection of a line.

Given a set S1 of n1 disjoint vertical line segments and a set S2 of n2 disjoint horizontal line segments, determine whether a pair of line segments intersect. Same scanline idea as above. Consider events in descending order of y-coordinate, where the event is the y-coordinate of a horizontal segment, the top endpoint of a vertical segment, or the bottom endpoint of a vertical segment. Maintain a range search tree using the x-coordinate. When the top endpoint of a vertical segment is considered, add the segment to the range search tree. When the bottom endpoint of a vertical segment is considered, remove the segment from the range search tree. When considering a horizontal segment, identify all segments in the range search tree that have X-coordinates between the X-coordinates of the horizontal segment. These Intersections. The program SegmentHV.java is a data type that implements hv segments. The program HVIntersection.java is a program that implements the sweep algorithm. This depends on the priority queue data type MinPQ.java and the range search data type RangeSearch.java.

Degeneration. We are only looking for intersections between a horizontal and a vertical segment. Don't consider two horizontal lines that intersect. That's why we assumed they were disjoint. We do not anticipate duplication of hv segments. Can preprocessing using interval intersection detect such situations. 2) pairs. We present an O(N log N + K log N) sweep algorithm (Bentley-Ottman 1979), where K = number of intersections. The most famous in theory are O(N log N + K) and O(N) space. For simplicity, we do not assume horizontal segments. Also, when segments intersect, it is only at one point, and no more than two segments intersect at a given point. Still subject to rounding errors. (Segments crossing a line at almost the same point, almost vertical segments, a segment with one end point almost on another segment.) Is it possible to use exact rational arithmetic???

Overlapping intervals.

Given N intervals (a_i, b_i) on the x-axis, find the point x that is contained in the maximum number of intervals.

Max. Bandwidth.

Given N slots (a_i, b_i), each with a corresponding bandwidth c_i, find the point x where the maximum bandwidth is used.

2D intersection of intervals.

VLSI design. A simple idea that almost works: decompose the 2D intervals into line segments hv, and check that the segments intersect correctly. This doesn't quite work if we detect incorrect intersections in the HV intersection routine. More seriously, this approach fails to detect nested cases where one 2D interval is completely inside another.

Sweep algorithm. Start the sweeping line from left to right. Maintain an interval search tree for intervals of active y-intervals that intersect the scan line.

  • Left endpoint of 2D interval: find all intersections with y-interval in the interval search tree; then add interval y to the interval search tree.
  • Right end point of 2D interval: Delete the 2D interval.

The VLSI.java program implements this strategy.
Intervals with integer endpoints are used: Interval1D.java and Interval2D.java. The IntervalST.java tree search interval also assumes integer coordinates (as opposed to the more general one from the previous section). Degeneracy: It is assumed that no two y-intervals are the same.

Rotating cube.

Hidden line removal with linear algebra for rotations and translations.

Exercises
  1. Union of intervals.
    Given N intervals on a real line, we determine the length of their combination in O (N log N) time. For example, combining the four intervals [1, 3], [2, 4,5], [6, 9], and [7, 8] is 6.5. Hint: scan line (sort by left and right endpoints).
  2. All intersections VN.
    Find and report all intersections of segment BH. For simplicity, let's assume that no two segments have the same x or y coordinates.
  3. Correct intersection of VN.
    Modify HVIntersection.java to only report if there are proper intersections, eg the intersection point is not the endpoint of any segment. Untested solution: Replace -INFINITY with INFINITY and vice versa.
  4. The area of ​​the union of rectangles.
    Given a set of axis-aligned rectangles, design an O(N log N) algorithm to calculate the region of their union. Hint: Swipe along a vertical line from left to right, keeping the intersection of rectangles and marking lines in the interval search tree (as in the VLSI design). When the scan line reaches the vertical edge, update the interval search tree (as in VLSI), and also update the cumulative area swept to so far.
  5. All 2D interval intersections.
    Find and report all intersections among a set of 2D intervals in O(N log N + R log N), where R is the number of intersections. For simplicity, let's assume that no two 2D intervals have the same x or y coordinate. Simple solution: find any intersection in the interval, find the tree, remove it and find the next one. Continue until you find them all, then insert them back into the interval search tree.

    Better solution: Modify the interval search tree to report all intersections in O(R log N) by traversing the tree once (and without making changes).

  6. 2D intersection interval.
    Modify the 2D interval intersection program to handle 2D intervals composed of arbitrary comparable types instead of just integers.
  7. Nested intervals.
    A set of intervals is laminar if for each two intervals A and B, either A is strictly contained in B, or B is strictly contained in A, or A and B do not intersect. Given a laminar set of intervals, define a tree decomposition where an interval is the ancestor of all intervals it contains.
  8. Nested 2D intervals.
    Given a laminar set of intervals, find the tree decomposition.
  9. 2D placement interval.
    Given N 2D intervals, try to place them in a unit area so that there are no overlaps. Algorithm: random placement of each of the N intervals. Find all intersections and randomly move one 2D interval from each intersecting pair. Find all intersections again and repeat.
  10. Intersection of polygons.
    Let A and B be two simple polygons, represented by their ordering of their vertices counterclockwise. Let N be the total number of vertices. Let's say there are no degeneracies (A and B do not share vertices and there are no 3 vertices that are collinear). Give an O(N log N) algorithm for determining whether A lies entirely inside B. Solution: First determine whether there are intersections between the N line segments that make up two polygons using the algorithm in this section. If there is, then A cannot be completed inside B. If there are no intersections, then either A is inside B, B is inside A, or A and B do not intersect. So, pick a point p in A and use S3 to determine whether p is in B. If so, then A is inside B.
  11. Train.
    Given N trains on N parallel tracks, the train I starts at position XI and moves at a constant speed VI. Find all the trains that are running at a certain point in time.
  12. Line intersection data structure.
    Describe how to implement a data type so that all of the following operations take logarithmic time.
      For a given point on the scan line, find the interval containing p.
  13. Insert line segment L.
  14. Delete segment L.
  15. Find the predecessor (successor) of the segment L.
  16. Swap adjacent segments L1 and L2.
  17. Hint: Use a balanced search tree.

  18. The intersection of two convex polygons.
    Given two convex polygons P1 and P2, find their intersection.

    Solution 1: Note that each edge P1 and P2 can contribute at most one edge to the intersection -> The resulting polygon has a linear number of edges. Now find all intersections of segments in O(N log N).

    Solution 2: Linear time using a scan line. Form the top and bottom body of each polygon. Keep the edges that intersect the scan line (maximum 4 edges at any given time). Events = right endpoints of edges crossing the scanline and intersections between edges crossing the scanline.

Intersecting lines. (Coordinate Geometry) - Math Open Reference Intersecting lines. (Coordinate Geometry) - Math Open Reference The intersection point of two non-parallel lines can be found from the equation of two straight lines.

Try this Drag any of the 4 dots below to move the lines. Notice where they intersect.

To find the intersection of two lines:

  1. First we need the equations of two lines. If you don't have equations, see Equation of a Line - Slope/Intercept Shape and Equation of a Line - Point/Slope (If one of the lines is vertical, see the section below).
  2. Then, since at the point of intersection, the two Equations will have the same x and y values, we set the two Equations equal to each other. This gives an equation that we can solve for x
  3. We plug this value of x into one of the linear equations (it doesn't matter which) and solve it for y.

This gives us the x and y coordinates of the intersection.

Example

So, for example, if we have two rows that have the following equations (in slope-intercept form):
y = 3x-3

y = 2.3x + 4

At the point of intersection they will both have the same y-coordinate value, so we set the equations equal to each other:

3x-3 = 2.3x + 4

This gives us an equation in one unknown (
x
), which we can solve: Reorder to get x terms on the left

3x – 2.3x = 4 + 3

Combination of identical terms

0.7x = 7

giving

x = 10

To find y, simply set x equal to 10 in the equation of any line and solve for y: Equation for line (any line will do)

y = 3x - 3

Set x to 10

y = 30 - 3

giving

y = 27

Now we have both x and y, so the intersection point is (10, 27)

What form of equation should I use?

Recall that the lines can be described by the slope/shape of the intercept and the shape of the point/slope of the equation. Finding the intercept works the same for both.
Just set up the equations as above. For example, if you had two equations in point-slope form: y = 3(x-3) + 9

y = 2.1 (x + 2) - 4

just set them equal:

3 (x-3) + 9 = 2.1 (x + 2) - 4

and continue as above, solving for x, then plugging that value into any equation to find y.

The two equations do not have to be in the same form. Just set them equal to each other and proceed as usual.

When one line is vertical

When one of the lines is vertical, it does not have a specific slope, so its equation will look something like x = 12. See Vertical Lines (Coordinate Geometry). We find the intersection a little differently. Suppose we have lines whose equations are

y = 3x-3Line sloping up and to the right
x = 12Vertical line

On a vertical line, all the points on it have an x-coordinate of 12 (the definition of a vertical line), so we simply set x to 12 in the first equation and solve for y.
Equation for the line: y = 3x - 3

Set x to 12 using the equation of the second (vertical) line

y = 36 - 3

giving

y = 33

Thus, the intersection point is at (12.33).

If both lines

are vertical, they are parallel and have no intersections (see below).

When they are parallel

When two lines are parallel, they do not intersect anywhere. If you try to find the intercept, the equations will be absurd. For example, the lines y = 3x + 4 and y = 3x + 8 are parallel because their slopes (3) are equal. See Parallel Lines (Coordinate Geometry). If you try the process above, you will write 3x + 4 = 3x + 8. An obvious impossibility.

Segments and rays may not intersect at all

Rice. 1. Segments do not intersect

In the case of two non-parallel lines, the intersection will always be somewhere on the lines. But in the case of segments or rays that have a limited length, they may not intersect.

In Figure 1 we see two line segments that do not overlap and therefore do not have an intersection point. However, if you apply the method above to them, you will find a point where they would intersect if they were elongated enough.

What to try

  1. On the above diagram, click "reset".
  2. Drag any of the points A, B, C, D around and mark the location where the lines intersect.
  3. Drag the point to get two parallel lines and notice that they don't intersect.
  4. Click Hide Details and Show Coordinates. Move the points to any new location where the intersection is still visible. Calculate line slopes and intercepts. Click "show details" to confirm your result.

Restrictions

For the sake of clarity, in the applet above, coordinates are rounded to whole numbers and lengths are rounded to one decimal place. This may cause the calculations to be slightly off.

Adjacent area on the left

Road in the adjacent territory
1. Turn on the turn, take the leftmost lane, and stop at the turn into the adjacent territory. 2. Having let oncoming traffic pass, drive ahead. 3. When arriving, you must press against the right side of the adjacent territory. 4. As soon as the car is completely hidden, you need to reverse onto the roadway. 5. Be careful and do not drive out in front of a moving car. 6. Back up to the roadway, stop, assess the situation (moving cars), and smoothly drive into the traffic lane. 7. Well, then – moving forward.

As you can see, the maneuver is not difficult

The only thing I want to draw attention to is: learn to think ahead. For example: You need to enter the territory on the left

Having waited for a gap in the traffic, you start moving, drive into oncoming traffic, and a pedestrian is stomping along the adjacent territory. You must miss it. It turns out that your car has stopped across the oncoming lane - not very pleasant. Therefore, before the maneuver, make sure there are no obstacles that may arise: pedestrians, other vehicles, animals, and so on.

By following simple rules, your movement and maneuvers will be simple and confident.

How does an intersection differ from the surrounding area?

Let's start by looking at the basic concepts that will be used in the article:

“Intersection” is a place where roads intersect, adjoin or branch at the same level, limited by imaginary lines connecting, respectively, the opposite, most distant from the center of the intersection, beginnings of curvatures of roadways. Exits from adjacent areas are not considered intersections.

“Adjacent territory” is the territory directly adjacent to the road and not intended for through traffic of vehicles (yards, residential areas, parking lots, gas stations, enterprises, etc.). Movement in the adjacent territory is carried out in accordance with these Rules.

So, according to these concepts, the main difference between an intersection and the surrounding area is the infrastructure facilities to which the intersecting roadway leads.

An example of an intersection (its panorama):

An example of the adjacent territory - leaving the yard (its panorama):

So, the two previous pictures did not cause you any difficulties, but in practice this is not always the case.

How to make turns and exits

Crossroads of equivalent roads: driving rules

The exit rules are quite simple: you just need to let all road users pass before entering the main road. In addition to cars moving from left to right, you must give way to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles moving from right to left. If there are road signs at the exit, then you need to be guided by their requirements.

A U-turn in an adjacent area will be different from the same maneuver at an intersection. When turning, you need to take into account which side of the roadway the PT is located.

if the PT is on the right, then you need to drive a little further than the entrance and stop. Then you should let all the cars pass and, without causing interference, turn back to the right. Having traveled the required distance for a turn, you need to turn on the left turn signal and turn, having previously let all the traffic pass; if the PT is on the left, then turning around will be a little more difficult. The vehicle must be located in the far left lane. Having passed oncoming traffic, you need to enter the PT ahead (trying to stay close to the right edge). After entering, you need to turn on the right turn signal, back up and turn the car in the right direction

At the same time, it is important not to interfere with oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the adjacent area.

What are the dangers of maneuvers?

The danger of U-turns lies in the fact that the driver has to move backwards along the roadway, and in some cases, drive into the oncoming lane. U-turns in adjacent areas require extreme caution

They must be carried out quickly and carefully so as not to create an emergency situation for other motorists or pedestrians

Another danger is incorrect identification of the site. If the driver confuses the intersection with the adjacent territory and drives backwards, he will be fined, since such a maneuver is prohibited at intersections.

Before making a maneuver, you need to look carefully to see if there are any signs that prohibit a U-turn. For example, this maneuver will be prohibited on a one-way road. For driving in the opposite direction to that prescribed, the driver will be fined 5 thousand rubles or have his driver’s license revoked.

Controversial road trips

The basic rule that all motorists should remember: when leaving the adjacent territory, you must give way to all types of transport. But the problem may lie in the fact that the driver does not understand whether it is adjacent to him or the intersection. If there are no signs indicating the ownership of a particular road, then you should stick to the right lane and give way to those vehicles moving on the main road.

Exits from parking lots, gas stations, etc. and the entrances to them are organized separately and are accompanied by signs 5.5, 5.6 and 3.1, so there will be no problems with them if the driver has learned the traffic rules. Violation of this rule of entry or exit (travel in the opposite direction) will entail a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of a driver’s license for up to six months.

Confusing signs

Let's look at a few road signs that can confuse a driver:

Please note that the “Main Road” sign is installed not only in front of intersections, but also on other sections of roads. Those. in practice, a situation is possible when the main road sign is installed before leaving the adjacent territory.

As for the signs “Give way” and “Driving without stopping is prohibited,” they can also be installed at exits from adjacent territories.

The three listed signs will not help us in identifying the intersection or the surrounding area. Remember this.

How to travel safely

How to navigate an intersection controlled by traffic lights according to the rules in 2020?

In order not to provoke an accident when entering the main road, you need to make sure that there are no obstacles and realistically assess the capabilities of your car. According to general traffic rules, the driver must leave the road intersection immediately after exiting.

The car enthusiast must understand how much time he will spend to complete his maneuver. When driving onto the main road, you need to take into account a number of external factors:

  • weather;
  • quality of the road surface (crushed stone, sand, clay, etc.);
  • extreme visibility;
  • the presence of snow, ice or puddles on the road surface.

After entering the intersection, the driver must speed up his car so that other participants cannot catch up with him. You need to be extremely careful and not allow the vehicle to stop, since other motorists follow the rules and know about their advantage and may not slow down when approaching the intersection. As a result, there may simply not be enough time and distance for emergency braking.

Right turn

When leaving a secondary road on the main road, a motorist must follow the rules for crossing intersections, including unregulated ones. When turning right, he must take the extreme right position, make sure there are no obstacles: no one is approaching from the left and no one is making a U-turn from the oncoming lane. Only after this start moving. With such a maneuver, the car should be strictly in the rightmost lane in case of multi-lane traffic.

For example, a person is moving in the right lane with the right turn signal on, having forgotten to turn it off at the previous intersection. Yes, on many cars it turns off on its own, but still. Another traffic participant intends to drive straight ahead with his turn signal on. Having started to move, leaving the additional roadway will provoke an emergency situation. In the event of an accident, it will be quite difficult to prove your case.

U-turn and left turn

When turning or making a U-turn, the driver needs to take the extreme left position closer to the center of the roadway. Next, make sure that no vehicles are approaching from either the left or the right. And only then begin to move to the dividing strip, as soon as you reach it, at this moment, and jump out to the left into your lane.

In the case of a U-turn, the driver must perform the same actions as when turning: drive to the median, enter the lane of passing traffic and turn back. If a motorist decides to turn around right at the edge of the roadway, he will grossly violate the road rules, as he will end up in oncoming traffic. This action is strictly prohibited, as it increases the risk of an emergency, even if no one is moving towards you.

Leaving the surrounding area

According to traffic rules, road users, when entering the main road from an adjacent one, are required to yield to others who have priority over them. This rule applies when traveling from adjacent areas: courtyards, gas stations, etc.

The rules clearly state that such areas are not intersections. However, the order and priority of travel follows the same principle: drivers on the main road have priority. Therefore, a motorist standing on an adjacent roadway is obliged to let others pass in all cases, regardless of the direction of travel.

Driving through intersections

Driving through uncontrolled intersections on a secondary road is regulated by a set of rules, clause 13.9. They determine priority for road users. Cars on the main road have priority. The remaining vehicles must wait until they complete their maneuver, and only then begin to perform theirs.

Other cases

Any maneuver that involves moving from a secondary roadway to the main one must be completed as quickly as possible so as not to interfere with other cars. But before driving, the driver must make sure that his actions are safe. This applies to uncontrolled and signalized intersections. The order of crossing the latter is regulated exclusively by permissive traffic light signals. Such situations are regulated by paragraphs 13.4-13.7 of the Traffic Rules.

Driving in the adjacent territory according to traffic rules

All sections, elements, structures and objects adjacent to the road belong to the road infrastructure. But this is the case if they functionally coincide with the purpose associated with vehicles and their movement.

The use of such territories has its own Rules, described in the Traffic Regulations (Road Rules).

Violation of the requirements for the proper use of such zones may result in liability in the form of monetary penalties, evacuation of the vehicle to a impound lot, or deprivation of a driver’s license.

The territory adjacent to the highway is those areas and objects that are directly adjacent to the roadway, are part of the road infrastructure, and provide comfortable service for cars or a temporary stop.

But their use must necessarily occur in accordance with the Rules, so as not to violate the general order. Let’s say that when leaving the pedestrian path area, it is prohibited to enter the traffic lane through a turn to the left.

Long-term driving and parking are not permitted on these paths, but you can drive a short distance without people around if there is no stop sign.

Features of such areas and examples:

SpecificsExamples
Isolation or merging with the road.Any area that extends beyond the line of the roadway, but merges with roads, allowing cars to drive onto them.
Performing vehicle maintenance functionsGas station, for example.
Ensuring the safety of passengers and pedestriansE.g. drive-in pockets for shuttle buses
Creating a safe temporary stop for cars that need it.Road markings - safety islands for emergency stops.
Keeping the car away from the moving stream without violating the Rules.This could be a requirement from a police officer to move off the roadway to an area where a traffic police station is installed.

Traffic in these (and other) types of adjacent areas is necessarily regulated by the Traffic Rules. Despite the fact that through movement cannot be carried out here, nevertheless, cars also drive along them.

This means that such elements of road infrastructure are also included in high-risk areas due to the presence of moving vehicles on them.

Landscaping may include the installation of road signs to, for example, prohibit leaving the roadway from the yard to the left, etc. Therefore, these areas are subject to traffic regulations.

How to identify areas

How to understand what the adjacent territory is in relation to roads, highways, and highways? Motorists get confused when defining it, mistaking even the courtyards of residential complexes of multi-story, apartment buildings for an adjacent zone. It's actually easy to determine.

Several criteria are important here:

  1. Close proximity to highways.
  2. Directly related to automotive topics as intended.
  3. They are not part of the roadway where machines pass through.
  4. Movement through such zones is also subject to compliance with the norms of the DD Rules.

The main criterion for the definition is that the car can enter the area adjacent to the roads, can leave it, but it is not possible to carry out through traffic along it.

This means only one thing: these territories cannot be called roads; they do not belong to such a concept as a “roadway.”

Therefore, if this is not a road, then the place where it joins the roadway cannot be called an intersection, because the path leads to a dead end and does not allow the vehicle to move further.

In addition, in relation to the use of places where tracks intersect, the Rules are completely different; they install their own signs and apply completely different markings on the asphalt.

What could be the surrounding area:

  • courtyards of residential buildings (only entries from the roadway!);
  • neighborhoods;
  • residential areas;
  • bike paths;
  • wide pedestrian paths;
  • parking lots;
  • gas stations (gas stations);
  • zones of enterprises located near roads;

In addition to intersections, courtyard entry and exit routes have similarities between adjacent places and through roads. There is also a roadway there, although not through, as well as sidewalks for pedestrians.

In courtyard areas, pedestrians are given the right to move both along the roadway and on sidewalks.

DD rules for traffic in the adjacent territory

As for the movement of vehicles in the area adjacent to roads, there are a sufficient number of restrictions in force.

The following general rules will need to be observed:

Scope of application of the standardsRules
Permitted speedNo higher than 20 km/h
Driving skills trainingProhibited
Keep the car with the engine runningFor more than 5 minutes.
Park trucks whose weight exceeds 3.5 tons.Forbidden
Park the car on the grass strip.Strictly prohibited
Actions regarding pedestriansThe area is primarily for pedestrians. You need to give way to people on foot.

But in addition to the general conditions of how to move through the adjacent territory, there are also individual nuances. Thus, the road leading into the yard must be used in a certain way.

Parking and parking in areas of drive-in pockets, “islands” and other places is also carried out in the order determined in the traffic rules. Therefore, all these details should be considered separately.

Entry and exit

The rules for entering or exiting the adjacent territory directly depend on which side it is located in relation to the highway.

Both options should be considered:

Location
On rightLeft
1. You need to drive a little forward.2. Then stop.3. Skip moving cars.4. Reverse into the adjacent territory.5. You can leave only after turning on the left turn signal and adequately assessing the free space between moving cars on the main road. 1. A signal is turned on, notifying other motorists of the intention to make a turn to the adjacent zone.2. The machine should already be moving on the far left side - closer to the adjacent territory.3. Oncoming cars should be allowed to pass.4. The driver enters the area ahead, but it is advisable to stay on the right side. This must be done in order not to block the exit route for those cars already on the site.5. You should drive out backwards, but only after the driver is completely sure that no one is driving on the main road.

When it is necessary to leave the adjacent territory, then one single important rule comes into play. First, all moving cars are allowed to pass along the roadway, and then you can drive out to the right.

In this case, you should also pay attention to the movement of cyclists or pedestrians. For example, this must be done when leaving the territory of a gas station (gas station).

Movement

It is also necessary to drive on the adjacent territory, keeping to the right. You should enter or exit from the side that is provided for these purposes - for example, when you need to enter a bus station or gas station.

When driving, it is often very difficult to immediately determine the intersection ahead, or just the adjacent area. Therefore, you should understand how they differ.

Regarding whether to allow a pedestrian to pass or not - in adjacent areas that belong to courtyards or have sidewalks, pedestrians are given priority for movement.

Some restrictions:

  • It is forbidden to drive backwards;
  • no need to make turns in several maneuvers;
  • You should always give way to the one driving on the right.

How to distinguish an intersection from the surrounding area:

RuleOrientation
Signalized intersections are equipped with traffic lights.As soon as the driver ahead notices the presence of a traffic light, or corresponding road signs, markings, this means there is an intersection or a turn in front of him.
The adjacent territory is not equipped with traffic lights or road signs.When the motorist ahead does not see traffic lights or signs, he can already understand that this is not a turn or intersection, but an adjacent zone.

A car blocked the entrance to the yard: what to do

If a car has blocked the entrance to the yard for another car, you should do something to eliminate the problem within the limits of the law:

First, talk to its owner to remove the vehicle. Sometimes this situation is forced, short-term, and the driver disturbing others leaves a note with his phone number on the windshield of the car. You can rock or gently kick the car to set off the alarm. Then there is a chance that the owner will quickly show up himself.

If there is no response or it is impossible to find the driver, call the traffic police. You need to explain the situation, give the address and name the registration number of the car blocking the road. The inspector will contact its owner, and it will be easy for the police to find his phone number. If unsuccessful, the traffic police will call a tow truck. The car that has become an obstacle will be removed to a special parking lot. Moreover, its owner will pay for the movement and location of the vehicle there.

If a motorist is blocked from entering the courtyard of the building where he has an apartment, this is illegal, and you need to deal with the homeowners association. It does not have the right to deprive the property owner of the opportunity to enter the territory that is common to all residents of the house. This norm is established by clause 5 of Article 16 of the Law “On the Entry into Force of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation”:

From the moment the land plot is formed and its state cadastral registration is carried out, the land plot on which the apartment building and other real estate objects included in such a building are located passes free of charge into the common shared ownership of the owners of the premises in the apartment building.

And also Article 262 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, which states that people have the right to be on land plots that are not closed to public access and to use the objects located on them.

The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation considered a similar case, and the decision was made in favor of the one who was denied entry into the yard by the general meeting. If we are talking about the car of a person who does not live in an apartment building, if there is a legally installed barrier, they have the right to prohibit him from being in this adjacent territory.

There may be a “Do Not Occupy Entry” sign near the entrance to the area, and this requirement must be obeyed. The same designation is attached to gates that close the courtyards of private houses, and there it has the right to exist.

Watch this video about what to do if a car blocks the passage to the yard:

T-junction

T-junctions are less dangerous. At the same time, they retain all the features of the previous type. When talking about less danger, it means a pedestrian. How can you recognize this type of intersection?

  • Two roads connect, but one of them has no continuation.
  • Movement at this intersection occurs only to the right, whereas in previous cases the driver can drive forward or turn left.
  • When viewed from above, this road element really resembles the letter “T”.

Quite rare, but no less interesting is the roundabout. This is the safest place compared to other sections of the road. This happens thanks to a special circular type of movement. The driver slows down before driving on this type of road junction, giving him a better chance of maintaining control of his vehicle in times of need.

This type has a huge number of advantages:

  • Driving through intersections allows you to enjoy beautiful small architectural forms or various flower beds. This is especially true in the summer. Of course, this is a small thing, but, you see, it’s pleasant. Beauty has not become less valued lately, so this is a clear plus for this type.
  • There is no need to regulate such intersections due to the fact that a separate part of the route is provided for exiting the main road. It is very convenient, and most importantly, practically safe.
  • Driving your car to the desired street is as comfortable as possible. There is no need to wait for cars to pass. The movement can be started at any time thanks to a special system. Actually, this point can be combined with the previous one.

In general, roundabouts are one of the best ways to connect roads. However, they have the disadvantage of a large area. The types listed above are much more compact than roundabouts. But at the same time, the circle itself, which forms the basis of the latter, allows you to create a good decor for the surrounding area. This is why driving through this type of intersection is so pleasant.

Crosswalk

The safety of pedestrians on the road is the main goal of a pedestrian crossing, which, as a rule, crosses the roadway, and possibly also tram lines. Hitting a pedestrian in such areas is a gross violation of traffic rules, punishable by law.

But... Let's not talk about the bad.

There are a couple of points to make about the pedestrian crossing at this stage.

Note 1.

The pedestrian on this section of the road enjoys virtually complete and unconditional priority. And all drivers must let him pass at the moment when he crosses the roadway at an organized crossing.

But let’s not argue: they say, before stepping onto the roadway, a pedestrian is obliged to make sure that his crossing is safe, etc. This is required by the section of the traffic rules responsible for the duties of a pedestrian (section 4, by the way!).

Dear lovers of truth and lawyers! Russian judicial practice, unfortunately, does not take into account the above provisions of the traffic rules. A pedestrian was hit at a crossing - the driver is to blame! And it can be incredibly difficult to prove otherwise! But it’s practically impossible! Therefore, we postulate: a pedestrian must be allowed to pass when he is at a pedestrian crossing or even has his foot raised above it for the only planned crossing of the roadway (or tram tracks)

Note 2.

The width of the pedestrian crossing is a matter of principle, because a number of maneuvers are prohibited here (overtaking, turning around, reversing, etc.). Therefore, knowing the dimensions of the crossing means protecting yourself from traffic violations and liability for this.

If a pedestrian crossing is marked with a zebra crossing (combined with or without signs), then the width of the crossing will correspond to the width of the markings.

If there is no marking (or it is indistinguishable, for example, in winter), then the width of the transition will be the distance between the signs.

Passing pedestrian crossings is a special topic. It became the subject of consideration of the special 14th section of the traffic rules

This circumstance indicates the special importance of the problem

Comments on “Adjacent territory or intersection?”

Alexey-29 » 23 Sep 2014, 14:23

This topic contains comments related to the article Adjacent territory or intersection?

I am categorically against the conclusions made in the article!! Why do you allow yourself to give advice based on “ideas”?? The traffic rules clearly state: “Intersection” is a place where roads intersect, adjoin or branch at the same level, limited by imaginary lines connecting respectively the opposite, most distant from the center of the intersection, beginnings of curvatures of roadways. That is, if an adjacent road intersects the roadway you are moving on AT THE SAME LEVEL, and there are no signs in front of this adjacent road, it means that this is an intersection of equivalent roads.

U-turn

Very often the section of road you are talking about is conveniently used to make a U-turn without violating the rules. But in this case, it is worth studying the methods of turning around from the adjacent territory and remembering what rules to follow.

So, we make the correct turn from the adjacent territory, which is located:

RIGHT - move a little further from the entrance, slow down, let cars pass, then “back up” into the alley, then assess the situation, drive out onto the main road, letting other traffic participants pass, and calmly continue on your way - with this maneuver you can clearly see what is happening, you can assess what is happening and react in a timely manner;

It is important to make sure that a pedestrian or cyclist will not interfere with your maneuver - stopping during the race and interfering with other cars that are rushing out of the way of your race is extremely undesirable. Everything needs to be done quickly – “without noise and dust”

Signs of an intersection

1. Traffic lights. Standard traffic lights, in accordance with GOST, are installed only at controlled intersections and controlled pedestrian crossings. They never regulate exits from adjacent territories.

2. Road signs 2.3.1-2.3.7 are installed only in front of intersections:

Also, sign 8.13 is installed only before intersections:

Please note that intersections have no other distinguishing features. For example, the “Give Way” or “Main Road” signs do not tell you anything specific, but more on that a little later.

Does leaving the yard invalidate the signs?

According to the Russian Federation Traffic Regulations, the effect of many prohibitory signs extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it. That is, after passing the intersection the sign is no longer valid.

But does this rule apply to exits from the yard adjacent to the main road? Let's try to figure it out.

Several years ago, the Supreme Court of Russia considered a very interesting case, in which a resident of Voronezh challenged the fine issued to her for parking under the sign “3.27. Stopping is prohibited."

The car enthusiast’s arguments were very simple: in her opinion, she parked her car after the exit from the yard adjoined the main road, and therefore, the effect of this sign no longer applied to this area.

Having reached the highest court, the lady motorist challenged not only her fine, but also, in general, the interpretation of the term “intersection” existing in the traffic rules, believing that our Rules contradict the Vienna Convention on Road Safety, which states that any intersection of roads is an intersection .

Having considered the case, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation considered that the Russian traffic rules do not contradict the Vienna Convention, and the exit from the yard is not an intersection and rejected the complaint.

Thus, the attempt to break the existing state of affairs, according to which leaving the yard does not cancel the effect of the “No Stopping” sign, failed.

Crossroad concept

The Traffic Regulations have a concept, clause 1.2, which contains the definition of this term. If you follow the exact interpretations of concepts during proceedings, you can come across quite a lot of inconsistencies, which traffic police officers and judges prefer not to pay attention to.

The problem lies in the legislative framework itself, since there are many rules, but no one pays close attention.

Considering the definition of this concept, the following points can be highlighted:

  1. An intersection is the intersection of roads, but it is not the road itself or part of it.
  2. Various articles of the code on administrative responsibility for offenses contain information about violations of traffic rules on roads, and not their intersections.
  3. An intersection is an intersection of roads at the same level. Therefore, various bridges and overpasses are not them, and the rules regarding the passage of the intersection do not apply to them.

Nobody gives an exact definition of the boundaries of this element, which is a problem when determining an offense. In practice, boundaries can be determined simply by extending the end lines of the road surface, and the intersections are the boundaries.

Problems with defining boundaries can only arise in cases where the intersection does not occur at a right angle, that is, the result is an intricate shape. The principle of determining boundaries in this case is similar to what was given above, only the construction is complicated.

When should delimitation be carried out? An example is a situation where violation of the same traffic rule on the road and at the place of their intersection leads to different administrative liability.

At the same time, it so happens that traffic police officers try to deliberately aggravate the situation in the protocol they draw up, which often leads to large fines or even additional problems. The intersection has clear boundaries and this should be taken into account.

Road sign 5.21 “Residential zone”

The concept of “residential zone” is discussed in detail in section 17 of the traffic rules

For violation of these requirements, quite significant fines are provided, up to and including deprivation of rights for 12 months, so attention should be paid to studying them. In this article we will try to answer the questions:

  • what is a residential zone, what signs are used to indicate it;
  • rules of movement, parking and stopping within such territories;
  • what punishments and fines are provided for under the Code of Administrative Offences.

“A specially developed area where special traffic regulations apply. Entrances and exits are marked with signs 5.21 and 5.22, respectively.”

Already from the name it is clear that such areas are located within residential areas, in areas where multi-storey or private houses are built. The main advantage in movement here is given to pedestrians and cyclists, therefore serious restrictions apply, including:

  • to the speed of movement of vehicles;
  • to the rules of stopping and parking;
  • to exit and entry.

It should also be noted that these requirements are relevant for courtyards and adjacent territories, however, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation and traffic rules do not provide a definition of the terms “household or courtyard areas”. Thus, you need to focus on signs 5.21 and 5.22. If they are not there, then a speed limit sign is usually posted: 3.29 to 20 or 5 kilometers per hour.

We invite you to familiarize yourself with the Features of regulating the eviction of citizens from residential premises

An important point is that traffic police and traffic police patrol cars rarely enter the courtyards of houses, so drivers often take advantage of this by exceeding the speed limit and placing their vehicles on playgrounds and lawns.

Residents of houses can teach violators a lesson by reporting this, for example, through the application form on the official website of the traffic police.

This sign provides for the following rules:

  • The presence of the sign implies a speed limit of 20 km/h.
  • Pedestrians have the right of way, meaning the driver must always let them pass. True, pedestrians are prohibited from deliberately blocking the roadway and interfering with traffic.
  • The adjacent areas are not intended for through passage; they cannot be used to shorten the route. By the way, this is what many drivers do when they want to take shortcuts or drive through yards, but they do not adhere to speed limits.
  • It is also not allowed to use such zones to perform various maneuvers: turns, driving in reverse.

Among other things, the following are prohibited in residential areas:

  • training ride;
  • parking with the engine running;
  • parking for vehicles belonging to category “C”, that is, cargo weighing more than 3.5 tons (subject to the absence of separate permitting signs and markings).

The last point says that even if you need to transport furniture, the truck cannot remain within the local area for more than 5 minutes. However, this requirement does not apply to trucks with a special plate, as well as public utility vehicles.

Leaving a residential area is equivalent to leaving any other adjacent territory; accordingly, you must adhere to the following requirements:

  • give priority to all road users who move along the main road - pedestrians, drivers of other vehicles, motorcyclists, cyclists - regardless of the direction of their movement;
  • When exiting, it is prohibited to cross a solid marking line (if there is one), that is, you can only turn to the right.

Well, a common violation that deserves special attention is parking on lawns or areas. You can only park your vehicle in designated parking areas.

If a person violates any of the above requirements, he will face the following fines:

  • 1500 rubles or 3000 for Moscow and St. Petersburg - failure to comply with entry/exit rules, through driving, failure to give priority to pedestrians, parking with the engine running (12.28 Code of Administrative Offenses);
  • parking on the lawn, children's playground - each region has its own fine amount (in Moscow up to 5,000 rubles).

Speeding is a special issue - the same rules apply here as for general roads:

  • that is, if you exceed 20-60 km/h, you need to pay a fine;
  • if you exceeded it by 80 or more, then you will be deprived of your driving license.

Fines

You will never be charged with driving through a prohibiting traffic light when crossing a stop line at a permitting signal.

You can easily and justifiably be charged with violating the requirement to stop in front of the stop line at a prohibitory traffic light. Please note that the fine is not for passing the stop line at a prohibitory signal, but for stopping.

Part 2 of Article 12.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation
2. Failure to comply with the requirement of the Traffic Rules to stop in front of a stop line indicated by road signs or road markings, when there is a prohibiting traffic light signal or a prohibiting gesture from a traffic controller, entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of eight hundred rubles.

The rules require that when a stop signal is given, the vehicle must stop in front of the stop line. This means that it is prohibited to stop behind the stop line at the prohibitory signal of this traffic light and this is the basis for a fine.

Turn signals

Clause 8.1. Traffic regulations oblige drivers, before any maneuver, excluding reversing, to give the appropriate turn signal before turning the steering wheel in one direction or another. For this purpose, special flashing light indicators are used, located in front, behind and on the sides of the vehicle. The turn signals turn on in the direction in which the steering wheel should turn. In the event of a malfunction or absence of light indicators, the driver indicates his intention to turn by using his arm extended in the desired direction. The requirement to use turn signals is mandatory in all situations, even when maneuvering in a parking lot or in a yard. Turn signals are not used when driving around a curved road that is not a maneuver. In a situation where there are several directions for driving, the driver must notify other road users in which direction he intends to go. Failure to use a turn signal indicates an intention to drive straight.

Turn signals help clarify traffic situations. However, other drivers and pedestrians are not required to allow vehicles with their turn signal on to pass. It is the driver making the maneuver who must give way. Giving a turn signal does not give him the right of way.

The habit of warning others about your upcoming maneuvers in all situations significantly reduces the risk of getting into an accident.

Clause 8.2. Traffic rules state that turn signals must be turned on well before the start of the maneuver and turned off after it ends. A hand signal in case of missing or faulty light indicators is also given in advance of the maneuver and stops before it is carried out due to the need to ensure the safety of the vehicle entering the turn.

Clause 8.2. also suggests that in a situation where the driver’s intentions can be ambiguously understood, one should refrain from giving a signal. To do this, you need to choose the right moment when it will indicate one specific action.

Normally, the turn signals turn off automatically when the maneuver is completed. However, with small turns of the steering wheel, automatic shutdown may not occur. Accordingly, the driver should carefully ensure that the turn indicators are turned off. In this case, indicator lamps on the dashboard and a special sound signal will help him.

If there is a malfunction or absence of external light direction indicators, the driver must give signals informing about his maneuvers with his right or left (depending on the location of the steering wheel) with his hand extended to the side or bent at the elbow. If the rear brake lights or brake lights are faulty, a signal in the form of a raised hand is given each time you brake.

The difference between an intersection and the surrounding area

It is important to be able to distinguish a road intersection from the surrounding area. Crossing roads has its differences not only in appearance or other superficial features, but also with regard to the rules of behavior of the motorist. There are standards for a specific type of road. Traffic regulations consider an intersection as an independent entity that is not combined with any street object. In turn, the adjacent territory belongs to some house. This is the difference.

At times there are situations when it is difficult to determine what type a particular road element represents. In this case, we should not forget that we are still dealing with an intersection, and we need to behave in such a way as not to provoke an accident. Strict compliance with the rules is necessary for the following reasons:

  • Police officers like to interpret inaccuracies in traffic regulations (an intersection, it should be recalled, according to traffic rules, is a high-risk zone compared to other roads) that is clearly not in your favor. Therefore, in all difficult situations, they will assume that you were not moving correctly at the intersection. This feature must be taken into account.
  • If it really turns out to be an intersection, then you will be extra safe if you act as if it is just adjacent territory.

First of all, you should not engage reverse in questionable areas. Who knows how such a pseudo-maneuver might end.

Requirements for drivers who find themselves at such intersections

A large number of rules and regulations boil down to requirements that need to be met not only at intersections:

  • give way to the vehicle on the right;
  • monitor traffic participants - where they want to turn - their turn signals will indicate this;
  • do not continue driving until it is clear that all other road users are giving way to you or have passed.

So, it’s interesting that giving way does not mean stopping every time. It is enough to slow down before the intersection and slow down a little. The main goal is not to interfere with the passage of those vehicles that are at the intersection.

For example, a motorcyclist needs to turn around. If he was driving towards you, you should wait until he is completely ahead and ready to continue driving. If he is on the right, yield according to the “interference on the right” rule. In the event that the motorcyclist is on the left, and no one else needs that side, the trajectories will not intersect and maneuvers can be performed by several road users at once.

Classification of intersections

There are quite a large number of criteria by which intersections are classified. An example is their division into regulated and unregulated, as discussed in paragraph 13.3.

When considering this classification, the following points can be highlighted:

  1. Regulated are those on which permanent or temporary traffic lights are installed, and they must be working at the time of passage. An intersection at which a traffic controller works is also called a controlled intersection, which is quite rare today.
  2. All other intersections that are not included in the previous group are called unregulated

In this case, all types of the roadway section under consideration can be divided into groups with the main road and with equivalent intersecting roadways. In addition, the classification is carried out according to the form that is created when crossing roads.

Roundabouts

The most complex type of intersections, which can be classified as a separate group. The roundabout type may have one or more lanes, traffic on which takes into account the rules for driving on a road with several lanes.

An important point is that when two vehicles change lanes at the same time, the “interference on the right” rule is used: the driver who is in the left lane gives way to the one who is changing lanes from the right.

Quite often, the roundabout is considered the main one, that is, in front of the intersection there is a “Give way” sign on all roads. However, there may be other cases; it is important to pay attention to the installed signs when approaching a roundabout.

T type

Quite common, characterized by the fact that another road approaches a straight road. Often the main road is connected to another, but not always. The order of passage is established by signs and traffic lights. If it is not adjustable, the "Interference from the right" rule applies.

You should also not forget that the road with a better surface, for example, when comparing asphalt with a primer, is considered the main one.

Cross intersection

It occurs extremely often.
As in the previous case, in this case you need to pay attention to the installed signs and the type of coverage. The signs show schematically how the roads intersect. However, for example, with a cross-shaped intersection, the roads will not always be located at an angle; a more complex shape is possible, but if it is in the center of the intersection, then there will be 4 directions for movement.

Who must give way: cars when entering or leaving the yard?

This situation, as in the photo above, occurs very often and drivers, not fully understanding the current traffic rules, begin to argue, swear and threaten each other, and sometimes it comes to a fight with bodily injuries. I observe such conflicts very often and have encountered a similar situation myself.

You are entering the yard

So, your car turns off the main road and turns into the courtyard. Here you need to adhere to traffic rule 8.3, according to which you must give way to absolutely all pedestrians, as well as cyclists, and then move along your route.

It should also be added that it does not matter in which direction the pedestrians move. In this case, they are always more important. Also, according to clause 8.5., your car must take the most extreme position in advance before entering the yard.

You are leaving the yard

Again, you need to refer to paragraph 8.3, which clearly states that in this situation you need to give way to the same cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles. In other words, you must give way to absolutely everyone! By the way, not many car owners know about this and foam at the mouth to prove that they are right.

How to pass each other in the yard

This is a typical situation when one car has already turned into the adjacent territory and has driven a few meters, and the second is leaving the yard, and the road itself does not allow two cars to pass each other at once. This is where the hottest debates and constant conflicts begin.

If we turn to clause 8.3 of the traffic rules, then it does not apply, since the car has already driven into the yard. Both drivers find themselves in a so-called “oncoming traffic” situation. I read the traffic rules several times and did not find a clause that would regulate this option. This situation can be interpreted as one where both drivers can be considered right, but the passing maneuver itself relies solely on the prudence of both car owners.

Here's what to do:

Although there are unwritten rules that I recommend always following:

— Before entering the adjacent territory, you need to release absolutely all cars that leave the yard

— If you have already entered the yard and there is another car in front of your hood, then the car that has the most room for maneuver should go back.

Always adhere to these rules and avoid unnecessary conflict situations! Peace and goodness to everyone!

What is in the traffic rules

Many vehicle drivers have difficulty entering and leaving yards, parking lots, parking lots and other similar places. This problem is especially relevant for beginners. In order not to receive a fine or lose your driver's license, you should know what the surrounding area is like. After all, this term includes parking lots, residential areas, and gas stations.

What is the surrounding area

The traffic rules answer this question as follows: this is a section of the road located in close proximity to the roadway, not suitable for through traffic. This includes parking lots, gas stations, courtyards, etc. Traffic in this section of the road is determined by traffic regulations. The adjacent territory allows you to enter and exit it, but, as already mentioned, you cannot drive through it.

How to determine the surrounding area

A common misconception is to consider the intersection of a roadway and adjacent territory as an intersection. You need to learn to distinguish them. After all, there are certain rules (traffic rules) for driving through an intersection. The adjacent territory, in turn, is characterized by other, different rules. Therefore, in order to avoid punishment from the traffic police, the driver must clearly know both of them.

To learn how to distinguish them, you should first remember the definition and characteristics of both areas. If in front of you is an intersection of roads with traffic lights and signs, then you are at an intersection. Such differences are spelled out in the Traffic Rules.

Also, according to traffic regulations, traffic lights are installed only at controlled intersections and pedestrian crossings. The rules do not allow them to be located in the adjacent territory. Traffic regulations say the same about road signs. The adjacent territory (entry and exit) is not equipped with them. Therefore, this area does not apply to intersections.

There are no sidewalks or roadways in the surrounding area.

Knowing what signs of an intersection exist, it is easier to recognize it. This means it can be distinguished from the above-mentioned zone. However, in real conditions on the road, unfortunately, it is not always possible to quickly realize what is in front of you.

The courtyard area also causes difficulties. After all, there are sidewalks on it, but there are no road signs. It is similar to the adjacent one, but is not it. The rules of movement in this zone are prescribed separately in the general set of traffic rules. The prohibitions in the yard area are the same as in the adjacent area. One of the differences is that a pedestrian on the first has the right to move both on the sidewalk and on the roadway. But this does not mean at all that they can interfere with the passage of vehicles with impunity.

The rules for driving through this section mostly boil down to prohibitions. Only by observing them can you move through the adjacent territory. Traffic rules are prohibited in the following area:

  • drive a vehicle at a speed exceeding twenty kilometers per hour;
  • provide driving lessons;
  • leave the vehicle with the engine running for more than five minutes;
  • leave trucks with a total weight exceeding three and a half tons.

Plus, you shouldn’t park cars on lawns. Not only is this incivility, it is also punishable by law.

Speaking of parking, it is worth noting that the so-called parking pocket, which is located ten meters from a residential building, also falls under the definition of “adjacent territory”.

The driver of a vehicle, moving through this area, must give way to all pedestrians. To avoid being punished, you should follow this section of the traffic rules. The adjacent territory has no advantages over the roadway.

Departure

This maneuver is carried out according to one rule. Let all traffic participants pass, and then exit the adjacent territory. Traffic rules indicate that in addition to cars moving from left to right, it is necessary to give way to pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles moving from right to left.

Traffic rules: turning around from the adjacent territory

It is not always possible to carry out the desired maneuvers, and the reason for this is a narrow roadway or vehicles left parked. This is where the nearby adjacent territory comes to the rescue. You can make a U-turn here. Naturally, this must be done taking into account the rules, and not become an obstacle to other vehicles moving along the roadway.

The adjacent territory can be located either to the right or to the left. The technique for performing a turn varies depending on its location.

  • The adjacent territory is located on the right. You drive a little forward. You stop. Let cars pass, if there are any, then reverse, without creating interference, drive onto it. With this movement, you have the opportunity to correctly assess the situation on the main road. Once in the adjacent territory, turn left and, in the clearance of the traffic flow, exit it in accordance with the traffic rules.
  • The adjacent territory is located on the left. This maneuver is a little more difficult to perform than the previous one. Turn on your turn signal. The vehicle must be in the far left lane. If necessary, give way to oncoming vehicles. Then you drive into the adjacent territory. Try to drive as close to the right side as possible. Once your vehicle is completely off the main road, stop. Now, carefully, without creating interference, drive backwards out of the adjacent territory.

Penalties for violating traffic rules in the surrounding area

Driving through these areas is carried out in accordance with the Traffic Rules. And since they exist, it means that there are penalties for violating them.

Thus, parking lots and gas stations, or rather, their entrances and exits, are marked with road signs. Therefore, if a vehicle passes in the opposite direction, then this is regarded as driving in the oncoming lane. For this offense, the driver may lose the ability to drive a car for six months or be required to pay a fine of five thousand rubles.

Sometimes a prohibitory sign is installed at the intersection of the adjacent territory and the roadway. It refers to the road. Failure to comply with the rules will result in a fine of five hundred rubles.

In the adjacent territory, the ban on through passage is most often violated. For this offense, the driver will be punished with a fine of one and a half thousand rubles.

Other violations in the adjacent territory are fraught with the same consequences as failure to comply with traffic rules on other sections of the road: exceeding the permissible speed, driving while intoxicated, and so on.

In the parking lot, there is a possibility of being fined if you occupy a disabled space. If the vehicle of a person with disabilities is not marked with a special sticker, he will also be punished.

Recommendations

The pedestrian is always right in this area, as the traffic rules say. The adjacent territory is a special zone; drivers are simply obliged to give way to citizens in this area.

When leaving the surrounding area, you should stop your vehicle in close proximity to the main road - this will allow the driver to see traffic in both directions.

When making a turn from an adjacent area on the left, it is very important to correctly assess the situation. So, you initially need to drive into it in front, but let’s say there’s a pedestrian walking there. As a result, you stop to let him pass, and the car is located across the oncoming lane. Thus, you interfere with the movement of other vehicles. Therefore, before turning into the adjacent area, look to see if there are any approaching pedestrians, cars or animals.
