Road sign 5 19. What does the “Pedestrian crossing” sign mean?
Road sign“Pedestrian crossing” notifies the driver that he is starting to move along a very small and short, but extremely important section of the road.
Also, a dangerous area. After all, according to the traffic rules, a pedestrian crossing is a section on the roadway that is specially designated so that pedestrians can cross the road along it.
The road sign “Pedestrian crossing” is intended to designate this area.
The Pedestrian Crossing sign is presented in two main versions. On one of them (5.19.1) the pedestrian moves from right to left, and on the other (5.19.2) - from left to right.
This difference is used when directly installing signs on the road: option 5.19.1 is installed on the right side of the roadway before the crossing, and 5.19.2 is installed on its left side after the crossing (including on the dividing strip, if any).
Thanks to such installation of signs, the pedestrian crossing takes on visible outlines, and drivers are quite well informed about the location of the crossing and the direction of movement of pedestrians along it.
A very important issue is to understand the width of the pedestrian crossing, which is determined by horizontal road markings 1.14 (“zebra crossing”). In other words, the width of the zebra is the width of the transition.
In the absence of markings, as well as the difficulty or impossibility of perceiving them (for example, in winter), the width of the pedestrian crossing is calculated by the distance between the “Pedestrian crossing” signs located on both sides of the roadway.
The driver is obliged to strictly comply with the requirements prescribed by the “Pedestrian Crossing” sign. The main one is the need to let pedestrians who are at the crossing (crossing the roadway or stepping on it to cross) pass.
That is why the driver, when approaching a crossing, should do everything necessary to implement this requirement: for example, reduce speed or even stop to let pedestrians pass.
We will talk about this in more detail in the comments to Section 14 of the Rules traffic. Here we will only indicate the driver’s responsibility to let pedestrians pass at a pedestrian crossing.
In addition, the driver must remember that certain traffic modes associated with the passage of pedestrian crossings are prohibited. So, in particular, at a pedestrian crossing the driver is prohibited from:
- Perform U-turns and reverse movements;
- Overtake (if there are pedestrians at the crossing);
- Stop and park (and also at a distance closer than 5 meters to the crossing).
These are the most serious requirements that are imposed on the driver when driving along a pedestrian crossing. That is why any driver must clearly know and strictly follow the rules for driving through these very dangerous sections of the road.
The driver must remember that a pedestrian is the most vulnerable road user. And hitting him within a pedestrian crossing is one of the grossest violations of the Traffic Rules.
And one last thing. The driver must be prepared for the fact that, even if a pedestrian jumped onto a pedestrian crossing in gross violation of the Rules (i.e. without making sure of safety and without assessing the distance to the approaching vehicle), it will be very difficult to prove his guilt.
Therefore, it will always be more rational and expedient for the driver to prevent a collision with a pedestrian than to later prove his innocence.

The base of the road sign is made of galvanized steel with a thickness of 0.8-1mm, to increase the rigidity characteristics, the workpiece is rolled to obtain a double flange. A road sign mask made of high-quality reflective films in accordance with GOST R 52290-2004 and GOST 32945-2014 is applied to the surface of the base. Additional stiffening ribs and reinforced fastenings eliminate the possibility of the sign bending both from wind load and under the influence of any forces. To secure the road sign, the base is equipped with a special tongue-type fastening.
Road signs 5.19.1 are used to designate places designated for pedestrians to cross the road. Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway. It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections. At uncontrolled intersections at marked pedestrian crossings, provided that the border of the crossing closest to the center of the intersection coincides with the edge of the roadway, signs may be installed only on the far border of the crossing.

The roadway includes not only space for cars to move, but also areas where people walk to the other side of the street. Crossing is a special area for crossing to the other side of the street along the roadway area. It ensures the safe crossing of the roadway for people. For reference purposes, such territories are marked with special signs and markings. Pedestrian crossing sign - indicates the immediate place where a motorist must let a person pass to cross to the other side of the street. Breaking a rule results in punishment.
general information
The rules provide two symbols indicating a ground crossing. One depicts a man walking to the right, the second - to the left. They are located on both sides of the road surface, facing the driver. The coverage area of a pedestrian crossing is determined by the length between the signs. How a pedestrian crossing is designated is approved by the rules and looks like this:
Regular crossings are additionally marked with a zebra crossing on the road surface.
Rules for installing signs are reflected in special GOSTs. When there is no special marking, sign 5.19.1 is located to the right of the roadway, and the second sign 5.19.2 is located to the left of the roadway at the end of the pedestrian crossing area.
If symbolic designations are present, the area of action is enclosed between them. In their absence, the area of action is limited by the markings, or rather its width.
Now the penalties for violating the rules on the roads have become tougher. Based on the Administrative Code, the fine is expressed in the amount of 1.5 thousand rubles.
The penalty may be more severe in case of a second offense at a controlled intersection. If such circumstances exist, the fine will be 5 thousand rubles. or deprivation of a driver's license, which is the most severe measure of influence on the driver under such circumstances.
A pedestrian will also not go unpunished if he violates the rules of conduct on the roads. He may be held liable in the form of a fine of 500 rubles. The traffic police inspector has the right to punish him if an offense is actually detected.
In large cities, off-street corridors or overpasses are additionally installed. Such structures are presented in the form of bridges over the road surface and are necessary for the movement of people. They are installed over a wide roadway or over railway tracks. They are indicated on both sides by special signs. The picture of the sign is as follows:
Overpasses are necessary for motorists to avoid additional traffic jams. Their purpose is also related to ensuring the safety of people. This sign is included in the category of signs to inform all road users. It does not entail prohibitory actions.
Such crossings are used where there is a lot of traffic and a huge flow of cars. They are indicated by a special sign with the number “6.6”. The crossings are located under a wide road surface or railway. The sign looks like a man walking down. Photo:
Such transitions appeared quite a long time ago, back in Soviet times, and are still widely used to this day.
Pedestrian crossing signs are a necessary indication for road users. They urge the motorist to be attentive and reduce speed. When a person appears on a zebra crossing, the driver is obliged to provide the opportunity to pass. Sign in mandatory is duplicated on both sides of the crossing, which allows motorists in both directions to see its coverage area in time and take the necessary measures.

Signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 "Crosswalk" used to designate places designated for pedestrians to cross the road. Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway.
If there is no marking 1.14 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed on the nearest border of the crossing relative to the approaching ones Vehicle, sign 5.19.2 - on the far side. The width of an unmarked pedestrian crossing between signs is determined according to 6.2.17. Signs at a marked pedestrian crossing are installed at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the crossing. Sign 5.19.2 may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.19.1. It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections. At uncontrolled intersections at marked pedestrian crossings, provided that the border of the crossing closest to the center of the intersection coincides with the edge of the roadway, signs may be installed only on the far border of the crossing.
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.
Sign 1.22 "Pedestrian crossing"
Sign 1.22 shows a pedestrian at a crosswalk in a red triangle. Road sign 1.22 “Pedestrian crossing” warns the driver that he is approaching a section of the road where there is a regulated or unregulated pedestrian crossing. The driver, upon seeing the “Pedestrian Crossing” sign, must slow down and be ready to stop at any time to let a pedestrian pass.
Such a road sign is most often installed on high-speed sections or in small settlements, where the driver must be warned that there is a pedestrian crossing ahead.
Sign 1.22 is set
In the locality: at a distance of 50-100 meters to the pedestrian crossing.
Outside the populated area: at a distance of 150-300 meters to the pedestrian crossing.
If necessary, the sign can be installed at a different distance, which is indicated on the sign:
8.1.1 - "Distance to object".
Indicates the distance from the sign to the beginning of a dangerous section, in this case a pedestrian crossing.
The pedestrian crossing itself is indicated by signs:
5.19.1 - 5.19.2 "Pedestrian crossing". Road sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, and sign 5.19.2 is installed to the left of the road on the far border of the crossing.
Also, a pedestrian crossing is indicated by horizontal road markings:
1.14.1
1.14.2
Zebra - indicates a pedestrian crossing; Marking arrows indicate the direction of pedestrian movement.
Effective area of the pedestrian crossing sign
The beginning of the pedestrian crossing zone is considered to be sign 5.19.1, where the pedestrian goes left and the sign is installed to the left of the roadway. The end of the pedestrian crossing zone is considered to be sign 5.19.2, where the pedestrian goes to the right and the sign is installed to the right of the roadway.
If horizontal markings in the form of a zebra are drawn on the roadway, then the signs are valid only within its boundaries.
Cars are prohibited from stopping at pedestrian crossings, as well as stopping within 5 meters in front of them. The distance of 5 meters is calculated from the sign, and if there is no sign, then from the nearest zebra marking.
