Despite the economic crises, today almost every family has a car, and not even in a single copy. A car can be with both father and mother, and with their children who have reached a certain age, when driving is already allowed. There are fewer and fewer pedestrians, and thus, the situation on city roads is becoming more complicated, traffic accidents are provoked, traffic jams occur, as we used to call them. All this kills our precious time, spoils our nerves, negatively affects our health and work. In such a situation, only good knowledge of the rules of the road and responsible implementation of them can save us. But, unfortunately, many simply neglect this, believing that their reasons are much more important than other law-abiding participants in the movement.
Signs installed on the roads of our cities are of great importance. If they are correctly located in the right places, this also solves the problem to some extent.
What are the main prohibition signs of traffic?
The “no entry” sign looks like a red circle with a white brick in the center. This is the most common sign. We more often than others see him on the roads. He does not allow vehicles to enter this section of the road, possibly part of it. Exception: route transport (minibuses, buses, trolleybuses, trams) does not obey this sign. In what situations are such prohibitory traffic signs established? When entering in the opposite direction on a one-way road .
When leaving on such a road on which only traffic of a fixed route in a separate lane is allowed in this direction, and on an adjacent territory, entry into which from this direction is strictly prohibited.
Depending on the individual situation, the penalty for failure to comply with this instruction may be different. This can be a warning, recovery of penalties, or temporary deprivation of rights.
Prohibitory traffic signs are always set as necessary, and their requirements must in any case be met by drivers who meet these signs on their way.
The next of the main signs prohibiting movement is "movement is prohibited." It also has a round shape, which is framed by a red stripe and has no pattern in the center. In the red frame is a white circle. These prohibitory traffic signs are similar in meaning, but still have their own characteristics and differences.
The second sign prohibits traffic not only in one but also in the opposite direction, which means that it cannot be installed on a one-way road.
The “no traffic” sign does not affect the movement of vehicles on urban routes driven by disabled persons of the first and second groups, as well as special vehicles carrying disabled people.
If you have not noticed or deliberately ignored such prohibitory traffic signs, you will have to answer for this act by law. The most common punishment for inattention to this road sign is a fine of three hundred rubles.
There is another exception to the rule that relates specifically to the “no traffic” sign. Vehicles of the federal postal service, as well as vehicles serving organizations and enterprises located on this (designated) site, may not respond to the mark. Also, cars serving citizens living or working in the specified area. All vehicles listed above are required to follow the restricted area and also leave it only through the section of the intersection closest to the designated place.
These prohibitory traffic signs are the main ones in this group. There are still a large number of them - "motorcycle traffic is prohibited", "truck traffic is prohibited" and many others. Their ignorance is a big mistake of an unprepared and, therefore, a very dangerous driver. Knowledge is never superfluous, and if you always remember the traffic rules while driving, this will help you to avoid fines and emergency situations.
