Basic rules for transporting children on the bus: list, features and recommendations. Rules for the organized transportation of a group of children by buses

Rules for transporting children on the bus.

rules organized transportation groups of children were developed by the Ministry of Transport of Russia and adopted by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1177 of December 17, 2013. The revision of the document, with the introduction of changes, was made by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 652 of June 30, 2016. Some changes came into effect on July 10, 2016, while others were postponed until January 1, 2017. The new rules for the carriage of children on the bus 2016 approve: the requirements for the bus, the driver and the person accompanying; list of documents required for transportation; additional conditions and nuances of transportation.

What changes have appeared?

The last revision of the document introduced the following changes: Introduced a new concept of “organized transportation of children”.

Previously, this term was accepted: any transportation of 8 or more children; transportation is not carried out by route vehicles... Currently, it has been clarified that transportation is carried out without representatives of children, which include parents, adoptive parents, guardians or trustees. The exceptions are situations when the official representative is: the accompanying group or a medical worker, whose presence is required during the transportation.

Based on this change, it turns out that if the transportation of children is carried out accompanied by parents who are not accompanying the group, for example, a group of tourists consisting of children and parents, then it is carried out on the basis of general rules not related to carriage organized groups children established by decree No. 1177. In this situation, parents or legal representatives must independently ensure the safety of the child on the basis of the carriage agreement and the rules for transporting children in the traffic rules bus 2016.

The new regulatory document included the mandatory fulfillment of the following conditions:

children must be more than 8;
the bus should not stand on the route and appear at the given moment by public transport;
escort of buses with children is currently provided only if there is a convoy consisting of 3 or more vehicles;
for the transportation of children, a permit is required, the document is issued by an authorized employee of the district traffic police. Until 2016, the original of the permit had to be with the driver and presented at the first request of the traffic police officer. After making changes, the driver only needs to have a copy of this document. The originals must be kept by the company for at least 3 years after the transportation;
the carriage of children from 11 pm to 6 pm is allowed only in exceptional cases, which include: moving to railway or air stations to reduce the waiting time for the departure of a train (plane); unplanned delays while driving, for example, due to bad road or weather conditions. Movement after 23 o'clock should be carried out at a distance of no more than 50 km. If not, the group leader must decide on an unscheduled stop in order to give the children time to rest.

So, with the organized transportation of small passengers, special attention must be paid to: the need to be accompanied by a car inspection crew; completeness of documentation; requirements for the driver and buses; requirements for persons accompanying children; the rules of boarding a vehicle.

Escorting a group of children from the traffic police

Initially, you need to decide on the transport company or other person who will carry out the transportation. Further, a charter contract is concluded between the person responsible for the group of children and the performer himself. On the basis of this agreement and the message of data on the route, an appropriate notification is made about the transportation of children by bus to the traffic police. To receive an escort of a convoy of buses, consisting of 3 or more buses, by the traffic police, it is required to submit a written application for escort no later than two days before the start of transportation.

An application for escorting the State Traffic Inspectorate with a car must contain the following data:

date of transportation;
the route of the bus, supplemented by the names of the starting and ending points;

The notice must be marked that the State Traffic Inspectorate knows and allows the transportation of children along the specified route and at the specified time. A copy of the application for escort or notice of transportation is a mandatory document that must be kept by the driver. As a result, the person responsible for the transportation of children must receive one of the following documents: a copy of the notification of the transportation of children by bus, or a copy of the approved convoy escort by traffic police vehicles.

During the movement of the convoy, there should be no one in the cabins, except for those persons who are included in the lists drawn up. If it is planned that someone will be planted while driving, then he must be included in the list in advance.

When a convoy of buses moves, each vehicle is assigned a serial number, which it must adhere to when driving.
All documents must be handed over to the driver one day before the transportation of children.

The following driver is allowed to drive the bus:

Who can be allowed on the bus

The group is formed from children of different ages. For babies under 7 years old, there is a restriction - they can be on the road no longer than 4 hours. Otherwise, transportation of minors is prohibited.

Children who were previously included in the list by the leader will be allowed on the bus. In this case, before the start of the bus, the list can be changed by the head unilaterally. This means that the team leader or travel organizer can change the list without notifying the carrier.

Each driver is responsible not only for himself, but also for his passengers. If there are children in the car, then additional responsibility is imposed on the driver. Since 2016, there are new rules for the transportation of children, which we will talk about.

Any vehicle is designed in such a way that the built-in seat belts are effective only for passengers taller than 150 sentiments. When transporting children whose height is less than 150 centimeters, it is imperative to use a car seat, both in the back and in the front seat.

Many laws and a source indicate that children can be transported without a car seat from the age of 12, but this only means that children usually grow above 150 centimeters by this age and when transporting them, you can use the built-in seat belts. If we use built-in belts to fix a child, then they can simply put pressure on a child under 12 years old on the neck, in an accident the child can slip out of the belts and get injured.

It is also strictly forbidden to hold the children in the arms of one of the parents or other adults when they move, since in the event of an emergency the weight of the baby increases tenfold and it will be a big problem to keep it.

Clause 22.9

In the traffic rules of the Russian Federation there is clause 22.9. It regulates the rules for the transportation of children. To clarify this point, it will be necessary to say about the following things. Other means in question are different retaining structures, even those that were made independently. But at the same time, they must correspond to the weight and height of the child. Each car has the ability to fasten such a retaining structure.

It is strictly forbidden to transport children in the arms of their parents, it is very dangerous. At the speed allowed in the city and an accident, the weight of the child grows 25-30 times and it is very problematic to keep the child from being hit. In addition, an adult who is not wearing a seat belt may, in an accident, pinch the child with his body and injure him.

Where and how best to install a child car seat

Traffic rules of the Russian Federation 2016 are allowed to transport children both in the front and on back seat auto, this is no violation. But before placing the child in the front seat in the car, according to the traffic rules of the Russian Federation in 2016, it is imperative to disable the airbags. In the event of a collision, the pillow will hit the child's back and may harm him.

The best place to install a child car seat is in the center of the rear seat. This place in the car is the safest and is ideal for transporting children of all ages in passenger car.

Types and types of child seats

Before buying your child baby car seat, you have to understand what type of chair you need. For children from 0 to a year old, you need a seat that will be attached to the front or back seat of the car. In this case, the baby will be fastened in the chair with a belt that will cross its stomach. Alternatively, the baby can be secured in a reclining position and fastened with a three-point harness.

Also, in the car, you can use a chair from zero years old, in which the baby will half-sit, while it is better to have the device with his back relative to the movement of the car.

For children from one to 4 years old, it is better to use seats in which the child is secured with five-point belts. This chair can be positioned both on the back and on front seat and it won't traffic violation RF 2016.

From three to seven years old, for children in the car, you can use seats that have a backrest adjustment. In this case, the passenger is fastened with standard car belts.

For older children from 7 to 12 years old, the chairs have some design features... For example, the back of the chair is detached in case a baby under 12 grows out of such a chair. The device also has a stopper for the upper strap.

When choosing a chair to carry a child in the front or back seat, parents should be in the mood for a serious purchase, but at the same time, it is imperative to consult with the child as well. It is best to choose a chair for children under 12 years of age with fitting, the baby should be as comfortable as possible there.

Then the transportation, both in the front and in the back seat, will be as comfortable as possible for both the baby and the parents, and the traffic police will not be able to fine the driver for violating the rules for transporting children under 12 years of age 2016.

What is the penalty for incorrect transportation of children

Not so long ago, changes came into force in the rules for transporting children in cars in the back and front seats and for breaking the rules road traffic RF in this area. Now for drivers, improper transportation of children in a car is punishable by a fine of 3,000 rubles. At the same time, as the law says, a violation is not only the absence of a special chair for children under 12 years old, but also its incorrect installation.

It is the responsibility of both drivers and parents to ensure that the child is transported in the car only in a special seat, otherwise they will have to violate traffic rules and then pay a fine fine.

What changes took place in 2016

In 2016, a legislative act in the traffic rules of the Russian Federation introduced some changes that regulated the transportation of children in a car. According to the current traffic rules, if the baby has not reached the age of 12, then he can only be transferred in a special chair.

At the same time, the traffic police insist that if the baby has reached a height of more than 150 cm, then the chair is not required. But in this situation, it is best to act according to the rules and use special restraints for children. Also, the changes in 2016 affected the fact that it is imperative to use either car seats or boosters and no other devices.

In the bus

Since 2016, changes have also been made to the transportation of children on the bus. Now the rules for the organized transportation of a group of children have become stricter. Now the bus must be no older than ten years from the date of issue. Also, the bus must have tachographs, as well as a satellite dish for navigation.

In addition, the rules for the organized transportation of a group of children imply that children under 7 years old can be transported on the bus for no more than three hours. If the road is to last more than four hours, then from 2016 the children must be accompanied by a health worker, and the bus must also have food to feed the children while driving.

In the plane

As for the carriage of children under 12 years old on the plane, there are no age restrictions on the flight. But doctors recommend flying with children who have already reached the age of three months.

Usually, children under two years old are transported on an airplane on the lap of an adult and a separate seat is not required for the baby. For children up to six months, you can order a special cradle, especially if the flight is long. The carrycot comes with disposable linen. If you can, you can bring your stroller to the plane. When the baby is two years old, he will need to buy a separate ticket for him.

New rules for transporting children in cars. Choosing a car seat!

Good afternoon, dear reader.

This article will focus on fines for violating the rules for organized transportation of children. A new group of fines will be introduced starting May 12, 2016.

Consider the new driver fines, officials and legal entities stipulated for the use of buses that do not meet the requirements, for the absence of a list of children, a list of accompanying persons or a route program, for the illegal transportation of children at night.

Let's get started.

Violation of the requirements for the carriage of children, established by the traffic rules

Consider part 3 of article 12.23 of the Administrative Code:

3. Violation of the requirements for the carriage of children established by the Rules of the Road -

Part 3 provides for a fine not only for the driver (3,000 rubles), but also for officials (25,000 rubles) and for legal entities (100,000 rubles). I note that within the framework of this article of the Code of Administrative Offenses, individual entrepreneurs are considered as legal entities. This also applies to all penalties discussed below.

So, fines for officials and individual entrepreneurs relate to the organized transportation of children. In this case, the following violations of traffic rules may be allowed:

Transportation of children in the back of a truck with an onboard platform;
The number of children exceeds the number of seats;
The bus is not marked with signs "Carriage of children";

Fines for violation of the rules for organized transportation of children

Fines for violation of the rules for organized transportation of a group of children are provided for in part 4:

4. Organized transportation of a group of children by buses that do not meet the requirements of the Rules for the organized transportation of a group of children by buses, or by a driver who does not meet the requirements of these Rules, or without a charter agreement, if the presence of such a document is provided for by these Rules, or without a route program, or without a list of children, or without the list of appointed escorts provided for by the said Rules -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine on the driver in the amount of three thousand rubles; for officials - twenty five thousand rubles; for legal entities - one hundred thousand rubles.

Specified in this paragraph fines can be imposed for the following violations:

The bus is not equipped with GLONASS satellite navigation equipment;
More than 10 years have passed since the year of production of the bus (the requirement applies);
The bus is not equipped flashing beacon yellow or orange (the requirement applies from July 1, 2018);

There is no charter agreement;
There is no route program (a schedule with an estimated time of transportation and an indication of the places and times of stops);

3,000 rubles - for the driver;
25,000 rubles - for an official responsible for transportation;
100,000 rubles - for a legal entity or individual entrepreneur engaged in transportation.

Those. in this case, an official of the organization must check the bus, driver and existing documents before the trip. Of interest is the requirement that the driver should not have violations that include administrative arrest or deprivation of rights as a punishment within the last year. This information is recorded in the traffic police, but is not displayed in any way in the driver's documents. Those. in practice, an official cannot verify violations and can only rely on the driver's honesty.

5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 4-6 months- for the driver;
50,000 rubles - for officials;
