Identification sign “Transportation of children” on buses

The placement of this sign indicates that there are children in the vehicle. Such transportation can be carried out only if all legal norms are observed, since their violation may result in serious administrative punishment, which extends from drivers to officials.

The sign is an identification sign; it indicates the fact of organized transportation. The sign must be located on both the front and rear of the bus.

The presence of such a sign indicates the performance of certain functions:

notifies all other road users about the presence of children in the vehicle;
enables the traffic police to organize traffic in accordance with priorities.

Also, the identification mark gives the following characteristics to the bus that carries out transportation:

children traveling in the cabin in the amount of 8 or more people;
there are children in the cabin without official representatives;
The speed of the vehicle is limited in accordance with the Traffic Rules.

The age of children traveling in a vehicle with the “Transportation of Children” sign is not specified either in Resolution No. 1177 or in clause 22.6 of the Traffic Regulations.
Previously, drivers could find such information in the “Technical Requirements for Buses for Transporting Children,” Chapter 1. It was stated there that these requirements apply to vehicles carrying children aged 6 to 16 years on board, and the standard is intended only for travel in roads of the Russian Federation.

Is it necessary to install a “Transportation of Children” sign on passenger cars?

The identification sign “Transportation of children” must be installed only on buses with organized transportation of children.

After the changes to the Traffic Rules came into effect on April 4, 2017, after which a new traffic police fine appeared for drivers for the absence of the “Spikes” identification sign, we received a huge number of requests regarding the installation of the “Transportation of Children” identification sign on passenger cars.

The question stems from the requirements of paragraph 8 of the main provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation, following which the identification sign “Transportation of Children” must be installed on the vehicle.

8. The following identification marks must be installed on vehicles:
“Transportation of children” - in the form of a yellow square with a red border (the width of the border is 1/10 of the side), with a black image of the symbol of the road sign 1.23 (the side of the square of the identification sign located in front of the vehicle must be at least 250 mm, at the rear — 400 mm
);

There are no conditions that only a vehicle carrying children needs to be installed. It sounds ridiculous.

The beauty of legal acts is that if something is not specified in one, it is specified in the other. It is necessary to find requirements that oblige the installation of this sign. The first requirement for drivers is, of course, the Rules of the Road.

Logic dictates that the sign is directly related to the transportation of children, so that’s where we’ll look.

General requirements are outlined in paragraph 22.9 of the traffic rules.

22.9. Transportation of children is permitted provided that their safety is ensured, taking into account the design features of the vehicle.
Transportation of children under 12 years of age in vehicles equipped with seat belts must be carried out using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means that allow the child to be fastened using seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle, and in the front seat passenger car - only with the use of child restraints.
It is prohibited to transport children under 12 years of age on the back seat of a motorcycle.

There is not a word about the sign, you can calm down, there are no requirements for drivers to install a sign with dimensions of 40x40 cm.

. Naturally, the question remains, where and when to install it? We continue our search in the Traffic Rules. We can easily find the requirements for organized transportation of children in clause 22.6.

22.6. Organized transportation of a group of children must be carried out in accordance with these Rules, as well as the rules approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, on a bus marked with identification marks “Transportation of Children”.

At this point we already see a link to another document and a direct mention of the “Transportation of Children” sign. The installation of this identification mark is directly related to the organized transportation of children, which is regulated by separate additional rules.

If the goal is to find a direct requirement for installing a sign, with your permission, we will skip several links of connecting documents and turn directly to the requirements of “GOST R 51160-98 Buses for transporting children. Technical requirements"

4.5.19 In front and behind the bus, identification signs “Transportation of Children” must be installed in accordance with the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation.

Thus, the “exit” to the sign “transportation of children” comes from GOST through the traffic rules and already into paragraph 8 of the main provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation. When transporting children in private cars, taxis, or public transport, it is not necessary to install the “Transportation of Children” identification sign.

"Children" sign for a bus according to GOST

You can purchase such a sign without any problems at any car store, but you should know that it must meet certain requirements established by law.
The sign was developed according to the provisions of the Vienna Convention, which regulates the rules for printing and placement of such signs. Such stickers usually look the same: it is a yellow square with a red border, in the center of which there are two black silhouettes of running children.

The size will depend on the location on the bus:

When the sign is placed on the front of the bus, its dimensions are 25 cm.
If placed on the back - 40 cm.
The width of the red border is always 0.1 part of the side.

If such standards are not met, the traffic police have every right to fine the driver.

The rules regarding the installation and fort of the sign are specified in the Rules of the Road. At the moment, this information is located in paragraph 9.3.

There are also special GOSTs related to the requirements imposed on the vehicle on which transportation will be carried out. At the moment this is GOST R 51160-98.

The sign should be positioned as follows:

in front - on the windshield in the upper right part, as this will not interfere with the view;
rear - place on a metal door.

The cost of a sign varies depending on its size and material of manufacture:

60*25/60*30 cm, made of polyvinyl chloride with a calendered surface, covered with mounting film - 300/400 rubles;
25*25/30*30 cm, made of polyvinyl chloride with a calendered surface, covered with mounting film - 60/90 rubles;
25*25/30*30 cm, printed on PVC, after which the image is glued to a rigid base - 350/450 rubles.

Rules for using the sign according to GOST “Children” on a bus

Transporting children imposes many responsibilities on the driver, regardless of the vehicle used for transportation. The most important thing is to indicate that there is a child in the vehicle so that other road users understand who is on the bus. In this connection, the driver is obliged to place the “Children” sign on the bus in accordance with GOST.

It should be noted that if children are transported in their own car, then this sign is not required to be placed, only if desired.

The provisions of the traffic rules provide a comprehensive answer regarding the presence of the identification sign “Transportation of children” if minors are transported on the bus. In addition, the “Transportation of Children” sign must be placed both in front and behind the bus.

The “Children” sign located on the bus with dimensions according to GOST has a number of functions:

notifying all road users that there are children on the bus;
obliges drivers to be more careful when maneuvering near a bus with children;
helps traffic police officers properly organize the traffic flow in connection with the movement of a bus with children.

Fine for missing a sign

If there is a negligent attitude to the rules and the absence of an identification mark, the driver is subject to administrative liability. According to Resolution No. 333 of March 24, 2017, punishment is imposed and applied based on the conditions specified in Article 12.5 Part 1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. This could be either a warning or a fine of 500 rubles. The traffic police officer has the right to determine the punishment based on the situation.

In case of violation of the rules for transporting children, the driver will bear administrative liability in accordance with Part 1 of Art. 12.5 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. In addition, according to the Russian Federation Traffic Regulations, the absence of a “Children” sign is equated to malfunctions that categorically prohibit further operation of the vehicle.

It should be noted that liability comes not only for the absence of a “Children” sign on the bus that complies with GOST, but also for a number of other violations:

Violations of the rules for moving groups of children associated with the lack of documents that are prepared when planning a trip (chartering agreement, travel route, list of accompanying persons, etc.).

Is it legal to issue a fine for not having a “Child in the car” sign?

If the driver has any doubts about the legality of issuing fines and their amounts, it is necessary first of all to refer to the current traffic rules and legislation. After all, a sanction can be imposed only in case of violation of a legal norm established by the legislator.

In the situation under consideration, drivers of passenger vehicles are not required to install a special sign when transporting children. Modern models of such cars do not provide for the transportation of more than 8 people. This means that the driver does not face liability in the form of a fine for the absence of an identification sticker.

Another thing is the driver of a bus, who is subject to the rules regulating the organized transportation of minors. In the absence of a sign, the size and appearance of which is established by the rules of traffic rules and GOST, the offender may be brought to administrative responsibility.

for officials the fine is 50,000 rubles;
for legal entities - 200,000 rubles. fine

It should be understood that the process of transporting children is strictly controlled by current legislation, since the safety of children is an important issue and should not be neglected. Any violation of all basic rules may result in serious problems with the law and its representatives.

Differences in signs about transporting children

Not every driver knows what the “Transportation of Children” identification sign looks like in accordance with the current traffic rules, and where to install it. Many are sure that stickers in the form of a yellow triangle or diamond, which often come with branded seats and infant carriers, are the legally accepted standard.

In fact, these two plates have nothing to do with the standard. In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 333, the carrier is prohibited from transporting minors in the absence of an appropriate identification mark, since such a trip falls under the concept of “organized”. However, a driver can easily transport a child in his car even without a yellow sticker on the rear window.

If desired, the car owner can place an identification sticker “Children in the car”, the main thing is that it does not interfere with the driver’s view, so it is better to do this on the rear window.

It is worth noting that such signs do not provide any advantage over other road users. They only attract attention, notify about the presence of small passengers in a car or bus, and signal drivers of other cars to be extremely careful, keep their distance and maneuver carefully.

What is the punishment if there is no identification mark?

For the absence of mandatory signs on the rear or front window of a car, an administrative sanction in the form of a fine of 500 rubles may be applied to the driver. At best, the traffic police officer will only issue a warning.

Within the framework of the issue under consideration, it should be noted that Art. 12.23 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for driver liability for improper transportation of minors. In case of violation of traffic rules, he faces a fine of 3 thousand rubles.

You can also receive a fine of 500 rubles for having a “Children in the car” sticker if it is attached to the windshield and interferes with the driver’s view, which is also a violation of clause 7.3 of the current traffic rules.
