5 traffic signs. Prohibition signs

The sign is used to prohibit movement Vehicle, the overall height of which (with or without cargo) is greater than that indicated on the sign. The sign is installed in cases where the distance from the surface of the road surface to the bottom of the span of an artificial structure, utilities, etc. less than 5 m.

The height indicated on the sign should be less than the actual height by 0.2-0.4 m for utilities, and by 0.3 and 0.4 m for overpasses carrying roads and railways, respectively. The difference between the actual and indicated height may be increased depending on the smoothness of the road surface. Repeated sign 3.13 may be installed on the span of an artificial structure, and if there is a clearance gate in front of it, on the gate.

The signs are made of galvanized metal 0.8-1 mm thick, with double flanging, which provides additional rigidity to the sign body. Each sign has two attachment points in the form of “tongues”. The fastening elements are attached to the body using the puckering method, which does not distort the image of the sign and provides much higher reliability than spot welding or riveting.

It is difficult to imagine the life of a car enthusiast without road signs. They are an essential element of traffic management. And the topic of traffic signs is very relevant for vehicles.

Let's try to understand the most complex issues related to road signs.

Advantages and Benefits

Road signs are one of the most popular and convenient means of regulating traffic in the world (in general) and Russia (in particular). What gives them special value and significance?

Firstly, DZ very personable, and their large number makes it possible for traffic organizers to use them to achieve a wide variety of goals (to warn about something, to prohibit or prescribe something, to inform, etc.).

Secondly, they are quite clear. As a rule, it is not difficult to guess about the requirements put forward by the signs, because each of them represents a certain symbolism that is understandable to everyone.

Thirdly, remote sensing is not a particularly expensive way to organize traffic. Compared to markings, traffic lights and traffic controllers, the sign installation procedure is very economical.

Fourthly, this stable motion controller. If in winter the markings may be covered with snow, making them difficult to see, then road signs do not have such a disadvantage. The traffic light, in turn, requires a mandatory power supply, which may be disrupted (or not possible everywhere).

Fifthly, this the most durable means of regulation. If the markings tend to wear out and become indistinguishable, if the traffic light requires constant maintenance, if it cannot work without rest, then the road signs will function for a very long time.

These advantages indicate the special status of road signs in the practice of traffic regulation.

Groups of traffic signs

Purely for convenience and the clearest possible understanding by drivers of the principles of installation and operation, all road signs are divided into 8 main groups:

1. Special instructions.
2. Informational.
3. Service.
4. Additional information (or signs).

And each group of signs performs strictly defined functions in the field of traffic regulation.

a brief description of

Warning signs serve the function of informing drivers that they are approaching a dangerous section of the road. At the same time, the nature of the danger is reflected by the symbolism of the sign itself.

As a rule, warning signs do not oblige the driver to do anything, but justify the need to exercise attentiveness and caution. That is why almost all warning signs are installed in advance - at some distance before the start of the dangerous section of the road.

2. Priority signs

This group of signs is incredibly important. They indicate the order of passage of unregulated intersections, crossings, as well as narrow sections of the road where oncoming traffic is difficult or impossible.

As practice shows, ignoring these signs is one of the most common reasons. That is why knowledge of the requirements that signs place on the driver, as well as strict compliance with their requirements, is the key to accident-free driving.

One of the most insidious and difficult to understand signs. And all because there are a lot of prohibitory signs. They also have a large number of exceptions to the general rules.

The purpose of prohibitory signs is to limit or exclude the movement of certain participants, to introduce restrictions on the direction of movement, speed, the performance of a number of maneuvers, etc. And in rare cases, to cancel previously introduced prohibitions.

Prohibition signs are very important to ensure traffic safety. That is why any violation of their requirements is punishable by the norms of administrative law of the Russian Federation.

Mandatory signs are intended to introduce or cancel traffic modes (speed, direction, etc.)

This group of road signs, prescribing a certain traffic mode, begins to resemble the action of prohibitory signs. And indeed it is. But with only one amendment: prohibitory signs introduce a negative (prohibitory) regulatory regime, and prescriptive signs introduce a positive one. In other words, prescriptive signs answer the question: “What should the driver do?”

The proximity of these signs to prohibition signs makes them very important in organizing traffic and road safety.

These signs are very close to prescriptive signs. Of course, they even have the same root words in their names: “prescriptive”, “prescriptions”. And their purpose is also related: signs of special regulations are used to introduce special traffic modes or cancel such modes.

It is not for nothing that previously both prescriptive signs and signs of special instructions were included in a single group of directional signs. The difference between them is that prescriptive signs introduce one requirement, while the group we are interested in introduces several requirements at once. This makes special regulations signs a relevant means of regulating traffic.

The main purpose of information signs (judging even by the name of the group) is to inform road users about the location of various objects (mainly populated areas) and the distances to them. In addition, this very extensive group of signs also serves as notification of established traffic modes.

As a rule, drivers simply ignore information signs, considering them frivolous. And very much in vain! Firstly, among them there are also very insidious ones who not only inform, but also introduce a prohibitive regulatory regime. Secondly, information is never superfluous.

Although, in fairness, it should be said that compared to prohibitory and prescriptive signs, signs of priority and special instructions, this group is very harmless.

This is the most noble group of signs. Service signs notify the driver about the approach or location within the road of important road and other infrastructure facilities: hospitals, hotels, recreational facilities, service stations and other facilities.

From the point of view of the requirements for drivers, service signs are the most harmless group. They do not demand anything from the driver at all, and therefore cannot become the reason for his punishment.

Despite the derogatory name - “plates” - these signs are very important in the road traffic system. Their goal is to complement, clarify, and limit the actions of other road signs.
