Correct answer:
Maneuver without stopping at an intersection.
Ticket 22 - Question 14
When should you give way to a tram?
1. When turning left.
2. When driving straight ahead.
3. In both of these cases.
Despite the fact that you are on a road with a dividing strip, in the absence of priority signs, it is equal in value to the intersected one. Being guided by the rules of passage of intersections of equivalent roads, you must give way to a tram, which takes precedence over trackless vehicles (clause 13.11).
Correct answer:
In both of these cases.
Ticket 22 - Question 15
You intend to turn right. Can you proceed to the turn?
1. You can.
2. You can, when you make sure that this will not interfere with the truck.
3. You can't.
Sign 2.4 
"Give way" obliges you to give way to a truck at a given intersection of unequal roads, without requiring you to stop before the intersection. Since the truck is moving on the left lane of the road that is more distant from you, you can start turning right when you make sure that during this maneuver there will be no obstacles to the movement of the truck (p.
3.1. Drivers of vehicles with flashing light on of blue colorperforming an urgent service assignment, they may deviate from the requirements of sections 6 (except for signals from the traffic controller) and 8-18 of these Rules, appendices 1 and 2 to these Rules, provided that traffic safety is ensured.
To gain an advantage over other road users, drivers of such vehicles must turn on a blue flashing light and a special sound signal... They can take advantage of priority only by making sure that they are given way.
The same right is enjoyed by drivers of vehicles accompanied by vehicles that have special color-graphic schemes applied to the outer surfaces, with flashing beacons of blue and red colors and a special sound signal, in the cases established by this paragraph. The accompanying vehicles must have dipped headlights on.
On vehicles of the State Security Inspection road traffic Ministry of Internal Affairs Russian Federation, The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation and the Military Automobile Inspectorate, in addition to the blue flashing beacon, a red flashing beacon may be switched on.
Comments
If we highlight the main points in paragraph 3.1, it becomes clear to us that the advantage of travel is:
- vehicles with turned on flashing beacons of blue or red-blue colors and an audible siren;
- vehicles with color schemes applied to the body, red and blue beacons and a sound signal;
- transport, which is accompanied by the above cars.
To the above, it is worth adding what the driver is obliged to do in accordance with paragraph 3.2, when a special vehicle, described in paragraph 3.1, approaches him:
- with blue beacons and a siren - must give way and provide him with free passage;
- with red and blue beacons, accompanied by a sound signal - must stop at the edge of the road on the right and go further only after the passage of special vehicles.
Also, the driver is obliged to ensure unimpeded passage not only for special vehicles, but also for vehicles that he accompanies. They, in turn, can only take advantage when they are convinced that they are overlooked.
The driver is prohibited
It is forbidden to overtake or outrun vehicles with special blue and red-blue lights turned on. The rule also applies to vehicles that are accompanied by vehicles with blue beacons and color schemes printed on the body. The escorted vehicles are allowed to move only with the dipped headlights on.
Useful: GOST requirements for special signals
Flashing beacons, sound signals and color schemes of service vehicles (ambulances, fire brigades, police, FSB bodies, etc.) must comply with GOST R 50574-2002.
For example, the white color of the ambulance body in combination with the red stripes is due to the requirements of this particular state standard. He also fixed what information and identification signs should be applied to a special vehicle, how loud the siren should have (not less than 116 dB, if the sound source is located on the roof of the car), where the beacon should be located (on the roof or above it). It is indicated that it is permissible to use more than one beacon on one vehicle.
By the way, the presence of the included blue flashing beacons does not relieve the driver of such a vehicle from the obligation to comply with the traffic controller's signals.
On vehicles related to the traffic police, FSO, FSB and VAI of the Russian Federation, in addition to a blue flashing light, a red beacon may be turned on.
It would seem like a hackneyed topic. But ordinary drivers (especially inexperienced ones) very often fall into a stupor, observing the movement of vehicles with “flashing lights” and “sirens” (or “quacks”) turned on.
At the same time, the road situation changes instantly, and it requires clear decision-making, and not delving into the knowledge gained during training at a driving school and hidden in nooks of memory. In large cities, this state of affairs is a scourge for the driver, instantly leading to a traffic jam or congestion.
We propose to understand in detail the situation with the use of special signals - both in the theory of traffic rules and in real practice road traffic. Let's immediately note the fact that the theory and practice of traffic management differ somewhat in approaches to solving the problem of "flashing lights".
Types of "flashing lights"
Only three types of flashing beacons ("flashing lights") know the rules.
1. Flashing light blue (or blue and red)
Meet this is the most privileged beacon. Drivers of vehicles equipped with such "flashing lights" are the kings of the road. They are allowed to ignore the lion's share of traffic rules.
Blue flashing beacons are installed on special cars of the "magnificent four" - services 01, 02, 03, 04. on the surfaces of such cars special color schemes are glued (for example, "03", " Ambulance"; "02", "Police", etc.).
Equally lucky are vehicles transporting government officials and federal parliamentarians, as well as senior officials the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. True, they are not entitled to color schemes.
As an addition to the blue, the red color of the "flasher" went to the cars of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate, VAI, FSO, FSB, which are intended (mainly) to perform the functions of escorting or participating in organized transport convoys.
It is also not difficult to recognize such vehicles: special color schemes are applied on their surfaces (for example, traffic police, VAI, etc.).
2. Flashing beacon, yellow or orange
This "flasher" should be mounted on three types special vehiclesintended for:
- carrying out works on the maintenance, repair or construction of roads;
- evacuation or movement of vehicles;
- transportation of bulky, dangerous or heavy cargo (or escort of such vehicles).
This flashing light also gives the driver some rights to ignore certain sections of the traffic rules precisely because of their sluggishness or the danger of the transported cargo.
3. Moon-white rotating beacon
FPS (Federal Postal Service) vehicles, as well as vehicles intended for the transportation of valuables (for example, cash collection) can be supplied with a "flasher" in the color of a tea rose (or fermented baked milk).
This is the most powerless flashing beacon.
Royal rights of "blue buckets"
In other words, the driver of a special car with a blue (or blue and red) "flashing light" on has the legal right to ignore:
- all marking lines;
- any traffic signals;
- maneuvering rules;
- principles of vehicle location on the carriageway;
- any speed limits;
- requirements for overtaking, advancing, oncoming passing, stopping and parking;
- rules for driving through intersections (except for those on which the signals of the traffic controller operate);
- travel rules for special sections of the road ( pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, residential areas, etc.).
In other words, the overwhelming part of the requirements that are imposed on an ordinary driver can be easily ignored by the owners of the included "blue bucket".
Such privileges are granted to the driver for one reason: he is endowed with special state powers when performing a special operational task. For maximum effective solution the tasks set by the state and issues a similar carte blanche, allowing such a frivolous attitude to the requirements of traffic rules.
"Blue buckets" - almost Gods
The right of drivers of "blue buckets" to ignore a good part of traffic rules is only one side of the issue. The second part of the problem is the advantage over other road users that is granted to such drivers.
However, in the process real movement operational special services with blue (or blue and red) "flashing lights" on are in inevitable conflict with other road users, who at that very moment can take advantage. These participants include:
- drivers driving on a green traffic light or on a main road;
- pedestrians moving along a pedestrian crossing;
- tram drivers (tram drivers), who in the overwhelming majority of cases enjoy an advantage over trackless vehicles, etc.
In addition, it is very easy not to notice the light signal - "flashing light". Therefore, in order to take advantage of their advantage, drivers of special vehicles must turn on (in parallel with the light) a special sound signal - "siren" or "quack". Only in this case - with a combination of both signals - ordinary mortal drivers and pedestrians are ordered to give way to "blue buckets".
Some drivers believe that when the "siren" and "flasher" appear, they must immediately stop on the side of the road or at the edge of the roadway. However, this is not the case.
According to the traffic rules, the driver is instructed to give way to such special vehicles and provide them with the opportunity to travel unhindered. And on a multi-lane road, for example, it would be sufficient to change lanes to an adjacent lane and continue along the intended route.
However, if there is a two-lane road, it will be necessary to stop, since only in this case the driver will be able to give an advantage to the “blue bucket”.
And do not forget that not only such a special vehicle enjoys an advantage, but also all vehicles accompanied by it (for example, as part of an organized transport convoy). You can recognize such vehicles by the dipped headlights on them.
Not all "blue buckets" are forbidden to overtake
The notorious driver's stereotype - you cannot overtake the blue "flashing light". And some motorists, in general, go to the point of absurdity when they refuse to overtake a traffic police car, on which the flashing beacon is not even turned on. Let's clarify.
The rules introduce an unambiguous prohibition on overtaking only the following vehicles:
- special vehicles with color-graphic schemes, on which a blue (or blue and red) flashing beacon is turned on, as well as a special sound signal;
- vehicles accompanied by the aforementioned special vehicle.
Consequently, if the surfaces of a car with a "flashing light" and "siren" are not equipped with any color-graphic schemes that give out its belonging to the special services, then it is allowed to overtake such vehicles (for example, a deputy's car).
True, do it without breaking speed modewill most likely fail.
And another moment. It is forbidden to overtake, and not to overtake, special vehicles equipped with light and sound signals. Therefore, driving in an adjacent (not oncoming!) Lane in order to get ahead of such a car will not be considered a traffic violation.
Blue Bucket: slow down
The included "flasher" indicates some non-standard situation on road. And if a special car is in a hurry somewhere, it should give way. This is normal. But then he reached his goal and positioned himself within the road with the flashing light on. What do the Rules say about this?
An ordinary driver, approaching such a vehicle, is obliged to reduce speed to such an extent that he can immediately stop at the first need. These can be requests for assistance, participation in the preparation of the protocol, and much more.
Yellow (or orange) beacon
Let's note right away: such a "flasher" does not provide any advantage in movement to its owner. The question arises about the meaning of using a flashing beacon. And he is.
1. A yellow (or orange) flashing beacon warns other road users about the danger of the transported cargo (due to its chemical properties, size or weight) or danger during work carried out within the road.
2. The included "flasher" of yellow or orange color on vehicles carrying out work on the maintenance, repair or construction of roads, as well as evacuation or movement of vehicles, allows the driver to ignore a number of traffic rules requirements (subject to safety measures):
a) prescriptions road markings;
b) prescriptions of road signs (with the exception of signs 2.2 "End main road"; 2.4 "Give way"; 2.5 "Driving without stopping is prohibited"; 2.6 "Advantage of oncoming traffic"; 3.11 "Weight limitation"; 3.12 "Restriction of the mass per axle of the vehicle"; 3.13 "Height limitation"; 3.14 "Width Limit"; 3.17.2 "Danger"; 3.20 "Overtaking prohibited");
c) prescriptions of traffic rules in terms of paragraphs 9.4 - 9.8 (rules of "lane" traffic), 16.1 (restriction of traffic on the highway).
When transporting bulky goods and accompanying such transportation, the driver is allowed to deviate only from the requirements of road markings.
Thus, the yellow or orange "flasher" allows, firstly, to warn about the danger of the vehicle; secondly, it grants some privileges to its owner, which are so necessary in the performance of professional duties.
The white-moon "flasher" is practically useless
The white-moon flashing beacon is the most powerless. It does not provide any advantage to the driver when driving. Yes, and you can turn it on (along with a special sound signal) solely to attract attention when attacking a special vehicle carrying valuable goods.
This is probably why some drivers of such vehicles simply dismantle a relatively useless "flashing light" and refuse to use it.
"Flashing lights" in the practice of real traffic
Very often, the theoretical calculations of traffic rules do not fit into the practice of road traffic. And in order to achieve maximum safety, it is important to clearly and quickly make a decision in the face of the appearance of various "flashing lights" on the road.
1. Blue (or blue and red) beacon
When a blue (or blue and red) beacon appears, you need to be prepared for the fact that the driver of the special car will deliberately and deliberately ignore traffic regulations and all conceivable principles of traffic safety. Therefore, even in the absence of a special sound signal on such transport, it is desirable to give it an advantage. And do not overtake. And don't get ahead. It's calmer this way.
3.1. Drivers of vehicles with a blue flashing light on, performing an urgent service task, may deviate from the requirements of Sections 6 (except for signals from the traffic controller) and 8-18 of these Rules, appendices 1 and 2 to these Rules, provided that traffic safety is ensured.
To gain an advantage over other road users, drivers of such vehicles must turn on a blue flashing light and a special sound signal. They can take advantage of priority only by making sure that they are given way.
The same right is enjoyed by drivers of vehicles accompanied by vehicles that have special color-graphic schemes applied to the outer surfaces, with flashing beacons of blue and red colors and a special sound signal, in the cases established by this paragraph. The accompanying vehicles must have dipped headlights on.
On vehicles of the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation and the Military Automobile Inspectorate, in addition to the blue flashing beacon, a red flashing beacon may be switched on.
Drivers of emergency services vehicles performing an urgent service task, with a blue flashing light on, can move in any direction regardless of traffic lights, road signs and markings. For them, only the signals of the traffic controller are required.
The operational services, on the vehicle of which a blue flashing light and a special sound signal can be installed, include the ambulance service, fire service, police, military traffic police, services special transport The Bank of Russia and the Gokhran of Russia, the special communications service of the Ministry of Communications of the Russian Federation, the prosecutor's office, the Main Directorate for the Execution of Punishments of the Ministry of Justice of Russia and emergency services.
3.2. When a vehicle approaches with a blue flashing light and a special sound signal on, drivers must give way to ensure unhindered passage of the specified vehicle.
When approaching a vehicle that has special color schemes printed on the outer surfaces, with flashing beacons of blue and red colors and a special sound signal, drivers must give way to ensure the unhindered passage of the specified vehicle, as well as the vehicle accompanied by it (accompanied vehicles).
It is forbidden to overtake a vehicle that has special color schemes printed on the outer surfaces with a flashing blue beacon and a special sound signal turned on.
It is forbidden to overtake a vehicle that has special color schemes applied on the outer surfaces, with blue and red flashing beacons and a special sound signal turned on, as well as an accompanying vehicle (accompanied vehicles).
The blue beacon in conjunction with a special audible signal gives an advantage in movement, but it can only be used after making sure that they are visible and give way. Together with the blue beacon, but not instead of it, the red one can also be turned on.
In addition to the cars themselves, with the beacons and sirens turned on, the vehicles accompanied by them enjoy the advantage.
It is forbidden to overtake vehicles with a special color if they have a blue beacon and a special sound signal turned on, as well as vehicles accompanied by them. See the term "".
3.3. When approaching a stationary vehicle with a blue flashing light on, the driver must reduce speed in order to be able to stop immediately if necessary.
Eif the car with the blue beacon stands still (in addition, the red beacon will be turned on), then we reduce the speed to stop if necessary. This is how they usually warn drivers about the danger ahead.
3.4. A yellow or orange rotating beacon must be switched on on vehicles in the following cases:
- performance of works on construction, repair or maintenance of roads, loading of damaged, faulty and relocatable vehicles;
- transportation of bulky cargo, explosive, flammable, radioactive substances and toxic substances of a high degree of danger;
- escorting vehicles carrying bulky, heavy and dangerous goods;
- escort organized groups cyclists during training events on highways common use;
- organized transportation of a group of children.
The switched on yellow or orange flashing light does not give an advantage in traffic and serves to warn other road users about the danger.
Harvesting machines, fuel trucks, collection vehicles, evacuators, etc. are equipped with yellow or orange beacons. Such beacons do not provide advantages in movement, since their purpose is to attract attention. This is the ability to detect a vehicle posing a danger to others at a sufficient distance and take appropriate measures.
3.5. Drivers of vehicles with a yellow or orange flashing beacon turned on during construction, repair or maintenance of roads, loading damaged, faulty and moving vehicles may deviate from the requirements of road signs (except for signs 2.2, 2.4 - 2.6, 3.11 - 3.14, 3.17 .2, 3.20) and road markings, as well as paragraphs 9.4 - 9.8 and 16.1 of these Rules, provided that road safety is ensured.
Drivers of vehicles when transporting bulky cargo, as well as when escorting vehicles carrying bulky and (or) heavy cargo, with a yellow or orange flashing beacon turned on, may deviate from the requirements of road markings, provided that road safety is ensured.
3.6. Drivers of vehicles of federal postal organizations and vehicles transporting cash proceeds and (or) valuable cargo may turn on a moon-white flashing beacon and a special sound signal only when attacking these vehicles. The moon white flashing light does not provide an advantage in movement and serves to attract the attention of police officers and others.
For a novice driver, the appearance on the road of a car with a flashing light and a special sound signal is a real problem, especially in big city, with its heavy traffic. Having no experience of behavior in such situations, it is not difficult to get confused, make the wrong maneuver and arrange a traffic jam or an accident on the roadway. After reading this article, you will find out who can use special signals, what privileges they receive, and what other drivers should do when cars with "flashing lights" appear.
Types of special signals
Rotating beacons are divided into three types by color:
- Blue(and sometimes red as an addition to it);
- Yellow or orange ;
- White.
In addition to them, cars with special signals are equipped with sirens.
Flashing light blue equipped machines emergency services, Traffic police (in combination with a red beacon) and cars transporting the leadership of the state, members of the State Duma, the Federation Council and senior officials of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.
In addition to special light and sound signals, emergency vehicles have color schemes, regulated by GOST R 50574-2002. These patterns consist of a basic vehicle color, decorative stripes, lettering and emblems. Below are the ones that are most often found on the road:
- Firefighting Service EMERCOM of Russia - the main color is red, decorative stripes white... Additionally, the emblem of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the fire department number and the car code are applied.
- Police and traffic police - the main color is white, decorative stripes are blue or light blue. The inscriptions "POLICE", "DPS" and the car code, consisting of letters and numbers, are applied.
- Ambulance and resuscitation vehicles - the main colors are white and lemon, decorative stripes are red. The number "03", the hospital number and the emblem of the Red Cross are also applied to ambulances.
- Emergency services - basic colors are white and yellow, decorative stripes are red or orange. In some cases, the main color is not applied, only decorative stripes, the inscription "EMERGENCY SERVICE", the name of the service, the number of the unit and the vehicle are used.
In addition to them, there are special vehicles of the tax police, prosecutor's office and other services, but they are extremely rare on the road.
A yellow or orange flashing beacon is equipped with special equipment that performs maintenance, repair and construction of roads. They are also equipped with tow trucks transporting out-of-order vehicles or vehicles that violate parking rules.
Another common type of equipment, equipped with an orange "flashing light" - vehicles carrying bulky and dangerous goods. Dangerous means:
- Explosive and flammable substances (for example, fuel);
- Toxic substances;
- Radioactive waste and materials.
The last type of beacon is white. They are equipped with collector and post machines... These special signals do not give any privileges on the road and are used only in attacks, in order to attract the attention of the police.
Cars with blue flashing lights
According to paragraph 3.1 of the Rules, for emergency vehicles and vehicles transporting the leadership of the state and its subjects, violations of some traffic rules are permissible... But this is possible only when performing official activities that require urgency and only when the flashing beacon and siren are on. Ignored rules include:
- Traffic signals. However, the traffic controller's instructions are mandatory even for vehicles with a blue flashing light on.
- Speed \u200b\u200bmode;
- Traffic signs and markings;
- Rules for maneuvering, overtaking and positioning vehicles;
- Passage rules for intersections, zebras and railway crossings, tram tracks and other special sections of the carriageway.
Clause 3.1 also applies these norms to transport in the convoy, which is accompanied by vehicles with a working blue "flasher" and siren. The rules instruct the accompanied vehicles to turn on the low beam.
The behavior of other drivers in this case is regulated by paragraph 3.2 of the SDA. According to him, when a vehicle appears with special signals on, the rest must give way to them. This means that you will need to either change to an adjacent lane, or stop on the side of the road and clear the passage. You also need to give way to cars in the convoy, which is accompanied by cars with special signals.
Overtaking cars with a working flashing light and siren is prohibited, but only if these cars have color schemes in accordance with GOST R 50574-2002. It is also impossible or built into a column accompanied by special vehicles.
Separately, it is worth highlighting in paragraph 3.2 of the SDA the words that both the flashing beacon and the sound signal should be turned on. Formally, you can overtake and not give way to special vehicles with an inoperative siren. But in practice, it is better not to create a dangerous situation and give the ambulance or fire truck the road. Moreover, it is not uncommon for drivers of vehicles with a blue flashing light to receive instructions where it is forbidden to turn on the sirens after 23:00, this should be taken into account.
If while driving on the road you see a car with a working blue "flasher" - slow down to stop at the first request of emergency workers.
Cars with yellow flashing lights
In accordance with clause 3.5 of the SDA, special equipment and freight transport with a yellow or orange flashing light may disregard road markings and signs other than the following:
- "End of the Main Road";
- “Make way”;
- "Movement without stopping is prohibited" and "Advantage of oncoming traffic";
- "Overtaking is prohibited";
- "Danger";
- Signs regarding weight, length and width restrictions.
Rules can only be ignored when performing construction and renovation works on the road and when transporting dangerous and bulky goods.
Liability for illegal installation of special signals
Installing flashing beacons and applying emergency color schemes to a vehicle is illegal. The owner of such a car is subject to Article 12.4 of the Code on administrative offenses. The fine can range from 3-5 thousand rubles for individuals and up to 500 thousand for legal entities.
