A parking space means bringing the vehicle into a stationary or inoperative position. This is done on a specially provided for this site. Therefore, improper parking is a stop or a long stay of vehicles in places prohibiting this action with special markings or signs. This is regulated by the SDA and the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
As a result, improper parking, the 2014 fine for which was levied, replenished the budget in Moscow alone by 838.5 million rubles. For this, thousands of receipts were issued.
Sanctions
The minimum penalty for improper parking is at least one thousand rubles. The size of the penalty depends on the parking place of the vehicle. For example, in Moscow or St. Petersburg, the size of the fine can be increased several times. These factors are regulated by local governments.
Sanction for stopping on the sidewalk
Wrong parking on the sidewalk is the most common offense. Even standing one wheel of a car in the area under consideration is already regarded by Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses as an offense. Including this article regulates the parking of vehicles at a distance of less than five meters from the pedestrian crossing or at it. A sanction is also provided for this. These types of offenses are punishable by a fine of one thousand rubles.
Sanction for stopping in places for disabled people
The penalty for improper parking in places for disabled people imposes a more severe punishment. The sanction of this article assumes five thousand rubles.
If the disabled sign is installed on the vehicle, this does not mean that you can park in places designated for this category of citizens. If a police officer asks him to present a document confirming the privileged category and the driver does not have the certificate with him, this will result in a fine of three to five thousand rubles.
Sanction for improper parking at bus stops
In accordance with article 12.19, part 3.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, stopping or parking vehicles less than fifteen meters in places designated for stopping fixed-route vehicles, involves a fine of at least one thousand rubles. The exception is cases of stopping with the aim of disembarking or boarding passengers.
Second parking sanction
Often there are situations when drivers of vehicles stop their car near a parking lot on the carriageway, thereby they impede the movement of one or more cars. The penalty for this offense is two thousand rubles. In addition, the car is evacuated for improper parking.
Sanction for parking on the lawn
Despite the fact that the SDA and the Code of Administrative Offenses do not specifically define what a lawn is, parking on this site is regulated by law and is punishable by a fine. The size of the administrative fine each region chooses for itself. Moreover, in some areas there is no sanction for parking on the lawn at all, but a penalty for damage to this site is supposed.
Sanction for stopping transport in the yard
Wrong parking in the courtyards is one of the most problematic situations. And all because the stopped car can interfere with the movement of vehicles, the residents of the house themselves, damage the lawn, etc.
SDA in clause 17.4 prohibit parking in the courtyard of cars with an engine running for more than five minutes in the event that passengers are not landing or disembarking, unloading or loading. Therefore, in this place, prolonged warming up of the machine can lead to unpleasant consequences. It is also forbidden to park trucks (weighing more than three and a half tons) on sidewalks and lawns without special signs. These offenses entail a fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred rubles.
I would like to note that for exceeding the established speed in yards of 20 km / h, a monetary penalty is also imposed.
If a car is parked near buildings and closes the driveway to houses with a fire engine, ambulance, etc., this also entails a fine for improper parking. It is important that all the above violations for the compilation of the protocol were supported by a photo or video.
Car evacuation procedure
Before evacuating a car, a police officer must draw up several documents.
- Protocol of Offense. It should indicate the reason for the evacuation.
- Protocol on the detention of vehicles.
- The document on removal from driving.
Protocols are drawn up with the participation of the driver of the vehicle. Their copies are transferred to him for signature.
It is important that only cars that interfere with traffic are subject to evacuation. This is what often leads to improper parking. The evacuation of the vehicle is illegal if it began in the presence of the driver or when he arrived at the scene before it began.
Car evacuation
In addition to administrative sanctions, the car of the offender can be evacuated to the penalty area. You will have to pay extra for this. Depending on the time the car was in the parking lot and the cost of calling a tow truck, there is a charge.
Evacuation can be avoided if the car is moved correctly before the arrival of special vehicles. In this case, an administrative fine will still be issued.
If the process of loading a car onto a tow truck has already begun, but it has not yet left, perhaps ask to unload the car. The driver must announce the intention to park it correctly. But you still have to pay for the call of special vehicles.
Evacuation for improper parking (2014) is different in that it has become an epidemic. What was it expressed in? Even those cars that were parked without any violations began to evacuate. After that, a law was passed that regulates that the car, if the driver approached it at the time of the dive, when the car has already been moved to the special transport area, must be returned.
How to pick up a vehicle after evacuation?
Incorrect parking, except for a fine, can lead to the evacuation of the car. He goes to a special parking lot. The first thing to do is to find out which employee of the traffic police unit detained the car, also find out the address of the penalty parking and the duty unit.
The car can be picked up after the reason for the detention is eliminated, which disappears immediately after the evacuation. Therefore, the driver can immediately go to the call center in order to obtain permission to return the car from a special parking lot. A certain mark will be made by the officer on duty.
If a police representative, before issuing a permit, requires a fine to be paid for improper parking, the driver has the right not to do so. This requirement is illegal. Since 2015, sixty days have been allocated to pay the fine.
