Why new rules for the organization of Parking lots will lead to their disappearance in the courts

In some cases the authorities can prohibit Parking in yards?

You’ve probably heard that the Ministry of transport of the Russian Federation developed recommendations on the organization of Parking in the regions. The documents have been developed and will come into force at the end of this year. On the one hand, these documents were long overdue, in order to standardize the country rules for the organization of Parking spaces. But, on the other hand, many of the provisions developed by the Ministry of transport, can lead to reduction or even complete disappearance of Parking spaces in the yards adjoining the house territories.

How to determine a Parking space in Russia under the new rules? So, according to the developed documents, the authorities in the regions in determining the possibility of creating Parking spaces should be guided by certain norms set by the Ministry of transport.

For example, streets with two-way traffic width of the road for the possibility of organizing Parking spaces shall be not less than from 8.5 to 9.5 m. If the road is one way to create Parking spaces, the width of the roadway shall not be less than 6.5 m.

However, in both cases, the distance between moving cars as recommended by the Ministry shall not be less than 15 percent.

If the width of the road is not enough, it is allowed to arrange Parking spaces on the sidewalk. Also allowed the creation of Parking spaces with a partial stop at the sidewalk. However such cars are allowed to organize if the height of the curb is not more than 12 cm, and the width of the sidewalk is at least 4 m.

But you ask where is the Parking in the yards? After all, this document is more suitable for ordinary streets of major cities, etc. Yes, these recommendations have been developed by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation with the purpose of dealing with traffic jams.

For example, in large cities due to the lack of uniform Federal rules of creation of Parking spaces, street Parking near houses not properly designed, which led to the fact that cars in Parking lots, often disrupting traffic.

You look at the streets of Moscow. Many roads, even no yards. In the end, the car is no place to put. Therefore, the authorities allowed to Park vehicles on many city streets, all linked Parking for the residents of nearby houses.

So under new rules of organization of street cars, unfortunately, do not get many of the streets not only in Moscow but also in many other Russian cities. However it should be noted that the developed new rules for the creation of Parking spaces, it is only a recommendation of the Ministry of transport, which are not binding on local authorities.

That is, each region, town and any other community will independently decide whether to listen to the recommendations of the Ministry of transport, or to create Parking spaces by their rules.

However, I would like to note that in any case in some areas in different cities of our vast country, the authorities will have to remove Parking spaces to improve the throughput of busy streets, where traffic mixes parked vehicles. It is inevitable.

So unfortunately for many residents of large cities, for which yard Parking nearby, this ordinary street, in the next few years may be added headache associated with Parking your car. Do you know how we have quietly, recommendations gradually turn into the obligation.
