In this article we will look at parking lot markings.

For safe road traffic and economical use of parking areas and parking lots, correct and competent markings in the parking lot are necessary.

Today, any trip for every car enthusiast turns into an adventure in finding a free parking space. The situation with parking is most difficult in the historical centers of large cities and in the courtyards of old buildings, where the urban plan does not provide space for the number of cars that there are today.

The dimensions of parking lot markings are regulated by GOST (51256-2011). If a citizen knows such information, it will be easier for him to defend his own rights if, for example, a car was hit and dented in a parking lot due to a narrow passage.

The concept of parking - what is it?

A park is usually understood as a designated area that must have a fence, an appropriate road sign and markings. Car spaces are provided free of charge, for example, in parking lots located near public places, or for a fee if the parking is municipal or private. Municipal parking lots usually use the Parkon automated parking system.

To assign an area the official status of a parking lot, it must be registered and formalized in accordance with all legal requirements. Currently, the parameters of parking areas are regulated by SNiP 113.133330.2016 with the title “Car Parking”.

We will explain below what types of parking markings there are.

What is this

A parking lot is a place to park a vehicle.

It is specially equipped for the safe location of the vehicle. In addition, parking can be done in specially designated areas.

You can park:

• in specially designated places marked with the appropriate sign;
• at the edge of the road, that is, parallel to the roadway or with access to the sidewalk, if there is a special road
• on the side of the road.

The difference between a parking lot and a parking space is that it is part of the road. You cannot park on the lawn or in the green zone, or in spaces for the disabled, if the vehicle does not have a special badge.

A parking space is a part of a building or structure, the boundaries of which are clearly defined and fixed. This place is intended for parking vehicles.

Locations of parking areas

The location of the parking area and markings depends on many factors:

1. Size (number of parking spaces).
2. Distance from public places and environmental sites.

Any parking lot must be safe, and the list of potential threats from parking areas, even if they are located outdoors, is quite extensive: exhaust fumes, gasoline leaks, road accidents, fires.

If we think from the other side - from the point of view of the car owner, then the most convenient parking is the one that is located closest to the required place. Usually, no one wants to walk an extra distance to a hospital, shopping mall, office or any other public place.

The distance at which parking markings should be located from urban planning objects is regulated by SNiP “Car Parking”.

If a car park can accommodate 10 or fewer cars, it must be located 10 meters from public buildings and residential buildings. Such car parking should be at least 25 meters away from public gardens, city parks, playgrounds and sports grounds, hospitals, schools and kindergartens.

Parking lots accommodating 10-50 cars should be located at a distance of 15 meters from residential buildings whose walls have windows, and at a distance of 30 meters from hospitals, schools, kindergartens and other similar buildings.

Open parking areas accommodating up to 100 cars must be 25 meters away from residential buildings. They should be located at the same distance from various public institutions.

Large car parks with up to 300 parking spaces should be located:

• at a distance of 35 meters from residential buildings with windows;
• 50 meters - from kindergartens, vocational schools, schools, and other children's institutions;
• 60 meters from recreational areas for citizens, sports grounds and stadiums, and medical institutions.

Car parks with a capacity of over 300 cars must be 50 meters away from residential buildings with windows. Other requirements for such parking areas do not change. As for huge parking lots that can accommodate 500 cars or more, they are recommended to be located exclusively in industrial zones.

SanPiN 2.1.4.1074 prohibits the placement of open parking areas in areas where water intake for domestic and drinking purposes occurs.

Basics

The rules for marking a parking zone should be taken into account by both those who equip themselves with a personal parking space and the owners of large parking lots.

There are 2 basic rules:

• it is necessary to take into account the dimensions of the vehicle for which the parking is equipped;
• When the doors are open, a person must pass between vehicles.

According to GOST

On road surfaces you can use:

• arrows;
• inscriptions;
• lines;
• other signs.

Parking must also be marked with special signs.

The following types of markings are distinguished:

• horizontal;
• vertical.

Minor nuances

But you should rely not only on GOST standards when applying markings in the parking zone. It is worth focusing on the secondary rules.

This:

• some car owners have great difficulty parking;
• the lines should be moderately thick and clearly visible even in the dark;
  

  It is advisable to use paint that has reflective particles.

• it is necessary to minimize the presence of various elements in the parking area that reduce space;
• Don’t forget about decorative elements and compliance with green space standards.

Width

The minimum width of a parking space should not be less than 2.3 m. If the space is intended for a disabled person, the width increases to 3.5 m per parking space. These dimensions are necessary to calculate the optimal area of ​​the parking space.

Do you know if you can stop your car in front of a pedestrian crossing? See the article: parking in front of a pedestrian crossing. What paid parking is is written here.

Dimensions of parking spaces in open parking lots

The size of a parking space for 1 car in a parking lot is easy to calculate if you know that the following parameters are the minimum:

1. The length of the parking space is 5.3 meters.
2. The width of the parking lot is 2.5 meters

Moreover, the width of the marking, which is 10 cm on each side, is not taken into account. That is, a parking space must have a minimum area of ​​13.25 square meters.

It is important that the standard length of a car is considered to be 4.4 meters, width - 1.8 meters.

At the discretion of the owners of the parking area, the size of the parking space may be increased. For example, parallel parking will be most comfortable if the length of one parking space is 8.8 meters, that is, equal to the length of 2 standard cars. In this case, the comfortable size of a parking space is considered to be the width of a standard car plus 1 meter, that is, 2.8 meters. This width of the parking space allows you to ensure the safety of the driver or his passenger getting out of the car.

If we talk about herringbone parking, then more space is needed. According to the standard, one such parking space must have an area of ​​18 square meters.

Parking spaces intended for parking cars for disabled people reach their maximum dimensions. Their width reaches 3.6 meters, and their length is 6.2 meters.

The law allows deviations from the specified dimensions, but such a deviation must be within 5 cm. Such dimensions are primarily due to fire safety measures. In addition, they help reduce the likelihood of accidents in parking areas.

What are the standards for parking lot markings?

Types of parking space locations

• Perpendicular to the road. Should not interfere with the free movement of all types of transport along the roadway.
• Parallel to the road. It is used when there is no recess from the direction of the main movement by more than 2-3 meters.
• Inclined. Used to create small “pockets”. The slope is 45°-60°.
• "Herringbone". Most often used in large parking areas. It consists of two continuous rows with a zigzag line in the center.

Technical requirements for marking parking spaces

Technical requirements include not only the organization of the parking space as a whole, but the materials from which the fences are made and with which markings are applied:

1. If parking is located in the local area, then it must have clearly defined boundaries. To create its boundaries, a side stone should be used.
2. The pole or vertical support must have clear reflective markings. In particular, this paragraph applies to parking areas located in courtyards.
3. To apply markings to asphalt pavement, thermoplastic or nitro paint should be used. But practice shows that white water-based paint is often used for this purpose, which is washed off by precipitation in less than a season.

Our work on parking lot markings

To apply markings, it is necessary to prepare the parking lot for the arrival of the team.

What our customer needs to know

• regardless of the type of material - a dry and clean surface before applying road markings (no dirt or greasy stains);
• complete absence of cars in the marked parking lot;
• willingness to provide premises for temporary storage of marking equipment and materials.

Stages of work production

Work on marking is carried out in several stages

1. Development of a traffic management project (if necessary).
2. Defining anchor points and transferring the project to a plane.
3. Preliminary marking with chalk or tape.
4. Marking.
5. Cleaning and garbage removal.

Road marking materials can be compared according to various criteria

Correctly selected material is of great importance for applying road markings in parking lots When choosing, it is necessary to take into account many features: road surface, traffic intensity, operating conditions.

Working with materials in a covered parking lot is possible under the following conditions:

Ventilated room with good ventilation;

The surface is cleaned, free of dirt, puddles, oil stains and dust;

Car-free workspace.

Disabled parking space

Let’s talk about the “Parking for disabled people without sign” markings.

In the modern world, many car owners have limited capabilities, that is, they are disabled. There are especially many who use a wheelchair. Special standards have been developed for citizens of this category. To begin with, the size of the parking space has been increased to 3.6 * 6.2 meters. This is necessary so that a person in a wheelchair can move unhindered between the car rows. In addition, parking spaces for disabled people should be located as close as possible to the entrance of the building.

Car spaces intended for disabled people occupy approximately 20% of the entire parking area. Typically, spaces for the disabled can be found in parking lots near hospitals, shops, shopping centers, residential complexes and other public buildings.

Types of parking

In a broad sense, parking can be of several types:

• ground (outdoor or indoor). Occurs most often. The most convenient parking option in the city center;
• underground. This type is popular in large shopping centers and complexes. Parking, as a rule, is located on the -1 floor of the shopping center building;
• multi-level (can be above-ground, underground or above-ground-underground). This type is used in places where it is necessary to park many cars in a small area;
• mechanized. This is a multi-tiered building with an automated elevator and cells for cars.

All parking lots (except for mechanized ones) must have markings. It depends on how the cars will be installed.

1. Obliquely, at an angle of 45 degrees. The passages between the rows may be slightly narrower, as it is more convenient to exit at a smooth angle and the car needs less space to maneuver.
2. Transversely, at an angle of 90 degrees. This allows more cars to be parked; however, in busy areas, parking obstructs the passage of traffic and increases the likelihood of accidents.
3. A combination of these two types depending on the shape of the parking lot and its location.

IMPORTANT! The semicircular marking indicates the turning point. In residential areas, it may indicate exit from the adjacent territory.

Peculiarities

Depending on the type of vehicle, the category of the driver and the type of parking, there are some rules for marking parking spaces that need to be taken into account.

For invalids

Disabled persons have the right to an improved parking space. Larger parking spaces are provided for this category of drivers. In addition, such places should be located as close as possible to the entrance to the institution.

The length of the parking space depends on the type of vehicle it is driving.

But, as a rule, it is standard - 6 m. And the width will be slightly larger than for healthy drivers - at least 3.5 m. This is due to the fact that a disabled person must fully open the doors of the car in order to perform any maneuvers.

10% of the total number of parking spaces at a given site must be allocated for people with disabilities

They must be marked with a special sign. A sample parking lot marking for the disabled according to GOST is indicated by a special sign in the form of a wheelchair.

On a semicircular

What does this parking method mean? With this method, one parking space must be at least 18 square meters. m area, while the length is 5 m . Such dimensions are relevant if cars will be parked at 45 degrees 1 seat .

If you make markings for parking cars at an angle of 60° , then slightly less space will be required.

One car will occupy about 16 square meters. m , while the length of one parking space must be at least 5.4 m.

Paid

Regardless of whether parking is paid or free, the minimum size of one parking space must be observed. In paid parking, spaces for vehicles must be located in accordance with GOST.

Parking lot markings

Applying markings in parking lots and multi-storey parking lots is a rather responsible process, since it is the proper placement of cars and ways to maneuver them in the parking lot that is the key to road safety and efficient use of the parking area.

As a rule, the traffic and parking scheme for vehicles is developed at the design stage of the building, but it happens that it is necessary to make changes, what is called “on the spot,” based on the current situation. We carry out both the full range of works on landscaping parking lots and individual types of work:

• Design of parking lots and parking lots (traffic diagram and location of parking spaces)
• Applying horizontal markings (floor coverings)
• Applying vertical markings (walls, columns, borders)
• Removing horizontal markings (demarking)
• Removing vertical markings (demarking)
• Applying parking space numbers (paint, cold plastic)
• Installation of information plates and signs, installation of parking equipment

When improving parking lots and parking lots, we use both the traditional method of applying markings, using acrylic paints and high-pressure painting units GRACO, WAGNER, and the new technology of ultra-precise application of acrylic, polymer, polyurethane paints and mastics (cold plastic). In addition, we can offer a combined technology for applying horizontal and vertical markings, which will save the Customer’s money.

In addition, the hallmark of our work is the highly accurate printing of parking space numbers of any size, font and shape. We successfully apply multi-color, complex floor signs, symbols, markers and designs using paint transfer through complex vinyl stencils so that the paints do not mix or layer on each other. This precision, edge-to-edge paint technology delivers unrivaled appearance and performance. This application method can be used on almost any coating (concrete, polymer coatings, asphalt, epoxy coatings).

For informational and educational purposes about the possibility of applying various types of road markings in parking lots, parking lots and parking lots, we provide you with an Excerpt from the STATE STANDARD OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION * (some images are missing)

Appendix D (mandatory)

Methods for monitoring road markings D.1 Methods for measuring chromaticity coordinates and brightness coefficient of road markings

D.1.1 The chromaticity coordinates x and y and the brightness coefficient bY of the marking are measured using the spectral distribution of radiation of a standard light source D65 according to GOST 7721.

D.1.2 The measurement is carried out at a 45°/0° geometry, when the light source 3 is located at an angle of 45°, and the photodetector of the measuring device 1 is perpendicular to the marking surface 2 (Figure D.1).

D.1.3 The surface area of ​​the road markings on which the measurement is carried out must be at least 5 cm2.

D.1.4 Measurements must be carried out on at least three samples. The final measurement result is the average value.

D.1.5 Using a measuring device, determine the color coordinates X, Y, Z of the road marking sample under study and calculate the color coordinates using the formulas: x=X/(X+Y+Z); y=Y/(X+Y+Z) The brightness coefficient bV of road markings is determined by the Y color coordinate. It is numerically equal to the Y color coordinate, expressed as a percentage. It is possible to directly measure chromaticity coordinates using a colorimeter.

D.2 Methodology for measuring the retroreflectivity coefficient of markings for dark conditions when illuminated by car headlights and a dry surface.

D.2.1 The measurement conditions should simulate the visibility of markings from a car when illuminated by headlights at a distance of 30 m, while the level of the driver’s eyes above the road surface should be 1.2 m.

D.2.2 Retroreflective coefficient of markings RL, mkd?lx-1? m-2, calculated by the formula: RL=L/E^ (D.3)

where L is the brightness of the measured surface of the road marking sample under the lighting and observation conditions shown in Figure D.2, μd?m-2, E^ is the illumination of the measured surface of the road marking sample in a plane perpendicular to the direction of the incident light, lux.

D.2.3 The photodetector and the light source must be in the same plane , perpendicular to the marking surface. The viewing angle a is 0.95°. The angle between the direction of illumination and the road marking surface e is 1.34° (Figure D.2).

D.2.4 When taking measurements, use a directional light source of type A [TCV=(2856±50)K]

D.2.5 The aperture of measuring devices should not exceed 0.33°.

D.2.6 The measured surface of the road markings must be at least 50 cm2. The entire surface of the road marking measurement must have uniform illumination.

D.3 Methodology for measuring the retroreflectivity coefficient of markings for dark conditions when illuminated by car headlights and a wet surface.

D.3.1 The technique for measuring the retroreflectivity coefficient of markings is similar to that described in section D.2.

D.3.2 When carrying out measurements in dry weather, it is necessary to pour about 10 liters of clean water from a height of 0.5 m onto the road surface of a horizontal section in the measurement area. After 1 minute, the values ​​of L and E must be measured to calculate the value of RL.

D.4 Methodology for measuring the retroreflectivity coefficient for dark conditions when illuminated by car headlights and rain.

D.4.1 The technique for measuring the retroreflectivity coefficient is similar to that described in section D.3.

D.4.2 When carrying out measurements in dry weather, it is necessary, using a special sprinkler installation (Figure D.3), to simulate rain without fog and evaporation with an intensity of 20±2 mm/h on a surface twice as wide as the marking, but not less than 0.3 m and 25% longer than the measured marking surface.

D.4.3 Measurement of the L and E values ​​to calculate the RL value should be carried out 5 minutes after the start of the rain simulation.

D.5 Method for measuring the coefficient of adhesion of a wheel with road markings.

D.5.1 The adhesion coefficient should be measured with the PKRS-2, PPK-MADI-VNIIBD device or other devices whose readings are adjusted to the PKRS-2 readings.

D.5.2 The road marking surface to be measured must be moistened and, if necessary, pre-cleaned.

D.5.3 The measurement must be repeated at least five times. When the measured values ​​of the adhesion coefficient do not differ from each other by more than 0.03, calculate the average of the measurement results, which will be the desired value. Otherwise, the measurement should be repeated until the three learned values ​​differ by more than 0.03. 1 - spectrophotometer or colorimeter, 2 - road markings, 3 - light source

What are the penalties for non-compliance with the rules?

For non-compliance with the rules for organizing parking space and for incorrect parking, fines are provided:

1. Parking in a space for disabled people without a right - 5 thousand rubles.
2. Parking on the lawn - from 3 to 5 thousand for individuals (in Moscow and St. Petersburg, in the regions the fine may be lower).
3. Unpaid paid parking will result in a fine of 2,500 rubles.
4. For parking in the area covered by a “No Parking” or “No Stopping” sign - a fine of 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles.
5. For other parking violations, the driver can be fined from 500 rubles to 5 thousand.

It should be remembered that for incorrect parking the car can be taken to an impound lot, which (like a tow truck) will have to be paid by the car owner.

If an organized parking lot is not “designated” according to the rules, then its activities will be contrary to the requirements, and accordingly, it will be possible to complain to the road inspection. All marking lines and installed signs, as well as the dates and principles of repair and installation work, must be approved by the relevant authorities.

Coverage and its end

To the delight of motorists, the territory where you can park your car for money is not endless. The first sign that separates the paid parking zone is 6.4 in combination with 8.8. They show the beginning of the site. The influence of symbols extends beyond the installation site.

End of paid parking sign

On the other border of this territory there should be another sign indicating that there is no parking for money on the further length of the road. The “End of paid parking” sign is a crossed out symbol 6.4.

More on AutoLex.Net:

What does the adjacent territory mean in traffic rules, rules for driving along it

Instead or next to it, there may be a banner with information that when driving beyond this border, the driver leaves the parking lot. Sometimes, instead of the crossed out letter “P”, the symbol 3.27 is used, meaning a prohibition on stopping.

The effect of the “Paid parking” sign may be limited in other ways:

• Table 8.2.1. It indicates the extent of the territory and the direction in which it extends.
• The nearest intersection. In the absence of symbols other than 6.4 and 8.8, the toll area extends to a distance of up to 5 m from its first intersection.
• Shields and posts along the perimeter of the zone, not counting the open spaces for entry and exit. You can park your car outside of them for free if there are no prohibitory signs.
• Symbol 3.28. It does not allow parking. You can no longer park there, either for money or without paying.

Courtyards adjacent to nearby buildings are not affected by 6.4+8.8. The same applies to entries and exits from them.
