Rules for parking a car in the courtyards of residential buildings. RF Armed Forces: residents of an apartment building are not entitled to use a guest parking lot in the courtyard of the building for permanent parking of their cars Law on parking cars

The number of cars on Russian roads is growing from year to year, and this does not increase the number of parking spaces. Particularly affected are residents of old buildings, where parking was not architecturally provided. Therefore, parking rules in the courtyards of residential buildings are of particular importance, the competent application of which makes life easier not only for car owners, but also for all residents of the house.

Why parking rules are necessary

The need for legislative regulation of parking rules in the courtyards of residential buildings is due to a number of factors. There are several among them:

1. An obstacle to the passage. Trying to put the car closer to the entrance, motorists break all possible rules. Cars park crookedly, climbing onto the roadway. These protruding cars interfere with the normal passage of large special equipment: garbage trucks, snow graders, ambulances, fire engines. The consequences of such actions can be dire.
2. Reducing the functionality of the local area. All vacant areas outside the apartment buildings are intended for specific purposes. Some areas are flower beds, sidewalks or lawns. Others are reserved for playgrounds or sports grounds. If these territories are occupied by cars, the rights of other residents of the house are violated, dirt spreads around the yard, its aesthetic appearance deteriorates, which sooner or later will lead to a conflict.
3. Disputes and fights over parking spaces. Wanting to park the car conveniently for himself, a modern man rejects civilization and is ready to defend the parking place with fists and shouts. There are frequent cases when car owners started fights, swore obscenely, spoiled each other's property, etc. The result of such tricks can be a call to the police, administrative or criminal punishment.

Parking laws

The role of the main regulation of parking rules in the courtyards of residential buildings is performed by several legislative and regulatory acts:

1. Resolution of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation of September 25, 2007 No. 74. Determines the norms for the location of parking lots at a distance from the windows of a residential building. The distance varies from 10 to 50 m, depending on the number of parking spaces.
2. Resolutions of the Government of the Russian Federation of 23.10.1993 No. 1090 "On the Rules of the Road". Determines which actions of drivers are prohibited in the residential area. These include through traffic, training driving, parking with a running engine, as well as trucks with a permissible maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons.

In addition, legislative initiatives are constantly being introduced to the State Duma to improve the parking situation. For example, a bill from one of the parties provides for:

• provision of a certain number of parking spaces depending on the size of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment;
• construction of a special guest parking, the number of spaces of which will be determined based on the total number of residents in an apartment building.

Important! Similar initiatives concern new buildings and housing under construction. For residents of old buildings, it is possible to use paid parking, which will be free for local residents at night.

Administrative penalty

In addition to the fact that an improperly parked car can become a victim of angry neighbors, an administrative fine may be issued to the car owner for parking near the house:

1. Closing the passage for other vehicles (Article 12.19, Part 4 of the Administrative Code) - 2000 rubles.
2. A car parked on the sidewalk in an area where there are no special permitting plates, signs (clause 3 of article 12.19 of the Administrative Code) - 1000 rubles.
3. Installation of a parking space barrier - 5,000 rubles.
4. Parking a car at a distance of less than 5 m from garbage cans located in the courtyard of a residential building - 5000 rubles.

Helpful! Regional legislation, in contrast to the Code of Administrative Offenses, provides for fines for parking on lawns. In cities of federal significance, the amount of punishment can vary from 3,000 to 5,000 rubles.

How to deal with offenders

Auto drivers who park their cars in the wrong places seriously ruin the life of the rest of the residents of apartment buildings. Neighbors fight these individuals in different ways:

1. Dousing the car with different liquids (paint, kefir, glues, etc.).
2. Placement of special stickers on windshield or other parts of the machine.
3. Blocking the exit path in different ways (chaining, parking other vehicles that prevent the exit, etc.).
4. Physical impact on the car owner.

It is important to understand that such methods of struggle are illegal and threaten the fighters for justice themselves with administrative or criminal liability. Therefore, you need to apply legal options for punishing violators:

1. Fix the offense with the help of improvised means of video or photography ( mobile phones, cameras, camcorders).
2. Transfer of materials to the nearest traffic police department.

Recently, many sites from human rights activists have appeared, where caring citizens can post evidence of violations of the rules for parking a car near the house. The main thing is that the photo or video is clearly recorded:

• state number of the car;
• shooting date;
• the offense itself.

In addition to the traffic police, the materials on which the offense is recorded can be transferred to the following authorities:

• fire inspection;
• ecological service of the populated city;
• district / city engineering service.

The lack of parking spaces is gradually becoming a serious social problem. To solve it, it is not enough just to comply with the parking rules. It is necessary to use the legislative resource to expand the automotive infrastructure, as well as to resolve issues with paid parking near residential buildings.

The media are actively discussing that the Supreme Court banned parking for "commercial vehicles" in courtyards in 2020. Zelenograd.ru studied the regulations and found out if this is really so, who really will not be allowed to park in the courtyards of residential buildings and what would be the violation.

Why is the Supreme Court dealing with this issue?

In 2018, citizen Teplenichev R.S. filed a lawsuit with the Supreme Court to challenge the sanitary rules for the organization of parking in the yard. Residents constantly left their cars near playgrounds, interfered with mothers with strollers, and noisily warmed up the engines in the morning. According to clauses 2.3 and 2.10 of the sanitary standards in the courtyards, it is possible to organize only a guest parking lot, but not a permanent one.

The Supreme Court considered the case twice and refused Teplenichev both times. The court found that the guest parking near the house did not violate the laws on sanitary welfare, environmental protection and counter-terrorism. And there is no evidence that residents use them on an ongoing basis.

The Supreme Court has not prohibited anything and is not going to. He simply clarified the existing yard parking rules in connection with several similar appeals. The Ministry of Transport is going to ban parking for commercial vehicles.

What is prohibited?

From January 1, 2020, the order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia No.199 on parking for commercial carriers will come into effect, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs... The changes will be relevant in Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol.

The order spelled out the features of the technical organization of parking zones. It is also not allowed to create parking lots for the listed categories of vehicles in the courtyards. Fines and sanctions are not specified.

The concept of "parking" in this case is a special place where the driver can leave the car after the end of the shift or after returning from the flight. That is, it will still be possible to stop to unload goods or wait for passengers.

It is also worth noting that the order prohibits creature parking lots. Whether this means that this order does not apply to the operation of existing parking lots is not clear.

Who is banned?

There is no definition of "commercial transport" in the legislation. These include: vans, special equipment, buses, dump trucks, taxis, car sharing, and so on. In fact, this is any type of transport that is used in business (that is, for the purpose of making a profit). It is not clear from the order which vehicles are classified as "commercial vehicles".

The wording of the document is rather vague, but the name implies the conditions under which you cannot leave the car in the yards. Parking is not allowed for vehicles for which two points are performed simultaneously:

1. Belongs to a legal entity or individual entrepreneur
2. Carries passengers / goods as a commercial service or for own needs

Special cases and exceptions are not considered in the document. Who and how will check whether a particular car is engaged in transportation is unknown. However, the list of vehicles to which the new order concerns is formulated in such a way that any car belonging to a legal entity or individual entrepreneur, regardless of how it is used, falls under it.

Who will follow up?

Moscow has mobile app "Moscow Assistant". It allows citizens to record violations on a video camera and send them to the traffic police for consideration. Inspectors use video footage to issue fines for violators. However, now its work has been suspended due to the decision of the Supreme Court. It is expected that the Moscow Department of Transport will reconfigure the "Assistant" and it will be possible to use it again.

In addition, it is planned to amend the Code of Administrative Offenses () so that it becomes possible to punish violators without drawing up a protocol if citizens record the violation on camera. Improper parking in the yard, including commercial vehicles, is considered a violation. In February, the relevant bill was adopted by the State Duma in the first reading, but since then it has remained unmoved.

What awaits violators?

There is no information in the official document about the sanctions for parking in courtyards for commercial vehicles. It is not even clear what it will be - just a fine or even evacuation.

Thus, although the ban on parking in yards for cars of individual entrepreneurs and legal entities will be relevant from January 1, 2020, it is not yet clear by whom and how it will be controlled.

Today, many owners of residential and non-residential premises in multi-storey buildings, especially in residential areas of large cities, they seek to save money on buying their own garage or paying for private parking services, so they leave their cars right on the local territory. Not everyone thinks about the fact that you should follow the parking rules in the courtyards of residential buildings in 2019.

The Housing Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that the owners of premises in an apartment building (apartment building) also own common property, including the land plot on which the building is located, and some area around it (Art. 36). The same regulatory legal act contains a reference to the fact that this is the land in the immediate vicinity of the building, which belongs to all residents in accordance with the shares in the common property.

The Government Decree No. 491 of 08/13/2006 (as amended on 09/13/2018) indicates that the boundaries of such a site, including landscaped and landscaped elements, are determined on the basis of information from the USRN, if a cadastral registration of land was carried out. If it is not formed, then the territory belongs to the municipality. In each case, the size and boundaries of the land plot are individual.

In 2019, there is no law prohibiting parking in the local area in the courtyard of an apartment building. On the contrary, citizens, according to the Civil Code, have the right to freely stay on land plots that are not closed to public access (Article 262) and use common property.

Parking space dimensions according to GOST

By order of the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade No. 792 dated December 7, 2016, the parameters of a standard parking space were established:

• minimum - 5.3x2.5 m;
• maximum - 6.2x3.6 m.

As such, there are no rules regarding parking spaces in the courtyards of apartment buildings. Sanitary rules and regulations 2.2.1 / 2.1.1.1200-03 must be observed. In accordance with them, the distance from the building to the parking lot must be at least 10 meters. Open areas up to 50 cars are allowed only if there are elements of landscaping and landscaping.

Building type	Minimum permissible distance depending on the number of vehicles
	less than 10	10–50	50–100	100–300	more than 300
Residential building	10	15	15	25	50
Public object	10	10	15	25	25
Healing, recreational place	25	50	Determined by the sanitary inspection authorities
Educational system institution	15	25	25	50	approved by federal executive authority

Most often, rules are violated regarding distance from home. Although, this position is most important for the comfortable living of citizens.

Who is responsible for parking in the yard

In accordance with the general principles of organizing local self-government, provided for by Federal Law No. 131 of 06.10.2003, citizens can independently resolve some issues regarding their property. Parking in the courtyards of multi-storey buildings is organized and improved after the approval of the vast majority of apartment owners.

To consider the issue, a general meeting of owners of premises in the MKD is convened (Art. 44 of the LC). The decision is considered adopted if 2/3 of the votes are received (Art. 46 of the Code). Tenants cannot take part in voting and determine the fate of the local area, as they do not have ownership of the leased property.

Residents' rights

So, the procedure for using the yard plot is established by the general meeting of owners. They can use the parking spaces for their intended purpose at any time. However, it is impossible to secure something specific on the site.

Parking rules

SanPiN prohibits parking a car at a distance of less than 10 meters from the house. If we are talking about a truck, then at least 50 m is required. In general, the traffic rules do not say much about parking in the courtyards of residential buildings. It is prohibited:

• so that the vehicle stands for more than five minutes with the engine running;
• stay in a landscaped area;
• park on the lawn, flower beds, playground;
• leave the car in the driveway or near garbage cans.

All this complicates movement in the yard and worsens the appearance of the territory, negatively affects the ecological situation.

What is the difference between parking and parking

To understand this, one should be guided by the norms of the Town Planning Code and the Rules of the Road. In the first case, the car is put into storage "automatically", and in the second, the owner of the seats is not responsible for it. Let's figure out what else the law says about parking and parking.

Parking is a place (usually along roads, in various spaces of the road network, in areas near buildings) for transferring a vehicle to a disabled state for a short period (clause 21, article 1 of the City Planning Code and clause 1.2 of the SDA). It is free in the courtyards.

Parking - a territory or room for long-term storage of a car on a reimbursable basis (clause 2 of the Rules for the provision of parking services, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 795 of November 17, 2001). Often these are covered garages and structures. In this case, the responsibility lies with the site employee.

In the parking lot, the vehicle and the property in the cabin are always under supervision. But it costs much more than even paid parking. Parking is possible only in specially designated areas, and violation of the rules may result in a fine. The garage and covered area are also considered parking. Here the car is protected from precipitation, and its appearance is maintained in good condition. Often, parking is organized in the courtyards of administrative buildings or MKD. They are necessary for citizens to leave the car during the working day or at night, make purchases or a guest visit.

How to organize parking in the local area

After the appropriate decision is made at the general meeting of residents, which is reflected in the minutes, the site should be allocated to common shared ownership. In order for the organization of parking on the local area to be successful, it is better to appoint an initiative group in advance, which will go through the authorities.

Homeowners' association is an element of self-government that allows you to agree on what will be carried out. After agreement with the residents, interaction with the local authorities begins.

Where to get permission

With the minutes of the meeting, you should contact the district body for land resources and land management (committee or department) with a request to allocate a site for a parking lot. The application must contain general information about the HOA, the applicant and the local area. When permission is obtained, an appeal to the traffic police and the architectural committee (department) of the municipality follows.

The procedure for drawing up a project

To develop it, you will have to hire a specialist. He will develop a project, draw up a plan on how to arrange a parking lot for a car near the house. After agreement with the owners, you can begin to arrange the territory. It can be limited by a barrier, equipped with an alarm. Guards are often hired.

Design features for disabled people

Places for people with disabilities are marked in a special way and highlighted with a sign. The width of the site is at least 3.5 m. This is due to the less maneuverability of people with disabilities and the need to open doors without interference when leaving the passenger compartment.

Preparation of the necessary documentation

The application should be accompanied by the minutes of the general meeting, at which the decision was made to create a parking lot, a certificate on the composition of the adjacent territory, obtained from the department of inventory and real estate appraisal.

Parking arrangement

The developed project should not contradict traffic rules, safety criteria, SanPiN and other requirements. It is necessary to take into account the norms of parking spaces for residential buildings in terms of their number, size and distance from the building. Violation of the parking or stopping rules may lead to liability in the form of detention of a vehicle or a fine - from 500 to 5,000 rubles (Part 1 of Article 27.13, Article 12.19, Part 4 and Part 5 of Article 12.16, Part 1 of Article 12.10 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). But, if it is agreed with the municipality and the traffic police, it will not cause problems.

Installing a video surveillance system

Parking lots can be equipped with cameras, usually around the perimeter. The situation is controlled using a computer or mobile device. The registrars are at the responsible owner or concierge. In the event of problems, residents can apply for records, including for transmission to government agencies.

Paid or free

Parking may be free of charge. You can also negotiate the amount of fees for protection, maintenance of the territory and other needs at a meeting of owners. Charging fees is illegal without the prior consent of most residents.

What is spontaneous parking

Some citizens disregard the established rules and arrange parking spaces without permission. Some put up posts, chains, blockers, etc. Others put a car on the sidewalk, on the lawn, in the sandbox. Those who leave their cars in the courtyards of high-rise buildings, in the green zone or on the roadway will face litigation and fines.

Drafting and filing a complaint

Which officials will consider the owners' applications depends on the nature of the problem. Most often, the case does not reach the court. If illegal parking in the yard is formed, where to complain, the residents themselves decide:

• to the district;
• to the local administration;
• to the police.

A free-form application is drawn up. Consideration takes place according to the general rules established by the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. A specific owner or an authorized person can apply on behalf of the HOA.

Summing up

Since the parking lots in the courtyards of MKD are objects of common shared ownership, therefore, ownership, use and disposal of them is carried out by agreement of all participants (Articles 246-247 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). In order to work out a compromise solution in this matter, one should not conflict with neighbors. The way in which parking spaces will be distributed should depend on the area of \u200b\u200bthe apartment of each specific owner.

Alexander, it is better to let a car approaching from the right pass over rather than later trying to prove that it was leaving the adjacent territory. Since it is not clear by default whether the parking lot is an adjacent territory or not.

Good luck on the road!

Hello. about the residential area and the courtyard, everything is very interesting and it is much easier to resolve issues with violators than in a situation when the administration calls the passage past two houses from the side of the entrances a duplicate road and for this reason refuses to put any traffic restriction signs or at least speed. According to the cadastral map, residents of houses only own the land under the house itself, and it is not possible to solve this problem without the participation of the administration. and the traffic police ask the question why do not follow the children for the statement that from the entrance the children get straight onto the roadway.

Marina, Hello.

What exactly do you want to achieve in this situation? Do you want to use the road for something else?

Well, apparently, so as not to drive at high speed on the road (legally on the road, but in fact, the local area).

In general, artificial irregularities are usually made for such cases.

Well, another sign 3.2 would be good.

I fully understand the sadness of the locals. Instead of living in a quiet place, they were given a high-speed highway.

Minor children often ride ATVs by our house, which is in the private sector. The road passes next to the playground, children on ATVs "fly" at a breakneck speed. We repeatedly called and complained to the traffic police. But we did not wait for the actions from the traffic police. The situation is heating up more and more every year. What to do and are there any methods of influence. It becomes unbearable to live and be afraid for the kids playing on the playground.

The supervisory authority over the traffic police is the prosecutor's office. You can complain about inaction.

Contact the administration of the settlement with a request to limit the speed on this section with the installation of appropriate signs (artificial irregularities).

Sergey-793

Hello! In our yard, without warning, work began on the improvement of the yard. Several cars were locked in the courtyard parking lot. On the phone, the chief of landscaping replied that parking inside the courtyard is a guest parking, and the car can be left on it for no more than 2 hours. Is it so?

Sergei, Hello.

1. I recommend that you find out on the basis of what documents such requirements are presented in the parking lot. There are courtyards where such requirements are established, but this is not so everywhere. In addition, the fact of a guest parking does not give the right to "lock" cars.

2. If the car cannot leave the yard, then the culprit of the situation can be tried to be prosecuted for (20,000 rubles).

Good luck on the road!

An automatic barrier was installed near the house, but some kind of car constantly blocks the entrance or exit, so that we can not annoy us and cannot enter the courtyard. What is the punishment for such drivers?

Love, call the traffic police and inform that the car is blocking the entrance. A tow truck will come and take the car for jamming. Also, the driver will be fined under Part 4 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code.

As a rule, one evacuation is sufficient.

Good luck on the road!

Dmitry-526

Hello. The management company at the entrance to the courtyard hung up a sign limiting the speed to 5 km / h and threaten to send data to the traffic police on violators. How legal is the action of the management company?

Hello. You can get ahead of the Criminal Code and "send data to the traffic police" about the violation of the Criminal Code itself.

in the traffic rules there is clause 1.5: ... It is forbidden to damage or contaminate the road surface, remove, obstruct, damage, unauthorized set up road signs...

If the sign is installed arbitrarily, it will be removed.

Good day! I am a resident of Krasnodar. Housing construction is actively underway in our residential neighborhood. Recently, it has simply become impossible to rest. Construction equipment is driving all night under the windows of our houses. Especially "get out" concrete mixers with included mixers. In the morning I have not slept enough and "broken" trudge to work. And for me to carry out operations ... Is there any authority for the builders who rumble at night? Thanks in advance!

Ivan, Hello.

This issue does not apply to road traffic, so I can only recommend that you independently study the Federal Law "On the Sanitary and Epidemiological Well-Being of the Population" dated March 30, 1999 N 52-FZ and related regulatory documents.

In general, the procedure should be as follows:

Find norms for the maximum noise level at night;

Measure the actual noise level at night;

Find specialists who will draw up an act on exceeding the noise level;

Contact the regulatory authorities with a complaint.

Good luck on the road!

Hello!

Tell me, is it possible to somehow regulate, restrict the exit of cars from the fenced-in block of new buildings, which goes directly to the entrance of a five-story building of an old building? The new quarter has several exits, there are bypass roads behind their houses, but the residents preferred to make these bypasses additional parking places, and, in the overwhelming number, they began to leave along one "convenient" way. This gave a very high traffic of entry and exit, increased the threat of getting hit by a car and a child and an old person. In addition, if the car's brakes fail, and cars leave and enter at a speed far from 20 km / h, then the car can "enter" directly into the entrance of a residential building. Please advise how you can solve this problem?

Elena, Hello.

First, find out who owns the land in front of the specified entrance. If it refers to your residential building, then you can make a decision at a general meeting of owners about, for example, blocking the road.

If the land does not belong to the house, then all that remains is to contact the traffic police with a request to install additional road signs restricting the movement of cars.

Good luck on the road!

Evgeniya-61

Hello, we have a road, there is a school along the road. There is a pedestrian crossing from the school across the street. Further, after 6-8 meters of the roadside green area, the inner courtyard runs parallel to the carriageway, there is a blue sign at the entrance to it. In the courtyard territory there is a continuation of this pedestrian crossing, a rather wide crossing (visually, by the way, is there a regulation for the width of the pedestrian crossing?). So the traffic police got into the habit of evacuating the cars parked along the house after continuing the pedestrian crossing in the courtyard territory. Ground - no 5 meters to the pedestrian crossing. Are the actions of the traffic police officers legal?

Evgeniya-61

Picture:

Evgeniya, the actions of the traffic police are legitimate.

Cars should not stand closer than 5 meters from the pedestrian crossing.

Good luck on the road!

Dmitry-530

Hello, when leaving the residential area, the driver must let pedestrians pass, this is understandable, but when entering the residential area, this rule applies. It often happens that drivers fly into a turn between cars of the opposite flow, and generally do not look at pedestrians

Dmitriy, Hello.

Clause 8.3 of the SDA:

8.3. When entering the road from the adjacent territory, the driver must give way to vehicles and pedestrians moving along it, and when leaving the road - pedestrians and cyclists whose path of movement he crosses.

Good luck on the road!

Hello!

At the entrance to the courtyard, asphalt heels (not a sidewalk, not a lawn, not marked with markings or curbs), away from the roadway, but directly adjacent to it, is usually used for parking cars. Cars are parked between the passage to the courtyard and the passage to the underground parking. The passage is not blocked. Thus, the car parked was evacuated to the penalty area. The protocol states: "parking in the second row on the roadway". In words, the inspector explained that the car was not parked at the edge of the roadway and not parallel to the curb.

Are the actions of the traffic police officers legal?

Kirill, Hello.

Attach a diagram of the location or a photograph of it.

Alexey-553

Hello.

Our management company drew pedestrian crossings in the yard. Is it legal?

Alexander-858

Is it legal to install a pedestrian crossing sign and draw a solid line in the area of \u200b\u200bthe "residential area" sign? Initially, pedestrians were given priority in the area of \u200b\u200bthe sign's coverage. And why is a solid line drawn in intra-block driveways, where the speed is limited to 20 km / h, in order to reduce the number of parking spaces?

Alexey, Hello.

In general, the legislation does not prohibit the organization of pedestrian crossings in courtyard areas. As far as your question is concerned, I cannot answer it for sure, tk. I do not know if the organization of the crossings has been agreed.

Good luck on the road!

Alexander:

1. The legislation does not prohibit this.

2. Ask this question to the person responsible for organizing traffic on this street. The reason why the markings were applied must be known to him.

Good luck on the road!

Valery-109

I parked my car 100m from sign 5.21 at the entrance to the residential area and next to the entrance to the courtyard on the opposite side of the entrance to the courtyard. At night, my car was evacuated to a parking fine, charged with Article 12.29.4 and a fine of 2,000 rubles. Is this legal? The detention of the vehicle is explained by the distance of less than 5m from the vehicle to the intersection of carriageways.

Valeryif the car interfered with the movement of other vehicles, then the evacuation is legal.

In this case, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the case materials and understand whether the car really interfered with the movement of someone. This must be stated in the file. If there is no such information, then it makes sense to challenge the fine, because parking in itself at a distance of less than 5 meters from the intersected carriageway does not entail evacuation.

You cannot leave the car in the courtyard of a residential building if you do not follow certain norms established by the Administrative Code and regional legislation. Violation of them will lead to adverse consequences, and not only to fines and evacuation. Neighbors dissatisfied with the place of stopping can damage the car. Compliance with the parking rules on the adjacent territory of an apartment building will significantly reduce the costs of the car owner.

Conflicts arising between the owners of apartments in residential buildings fighting for a parking space are resolved only by tightening the regulations governing the requirements for parking. Residents leaving the car in the yard should be aware that there are places where the car cannot be in any case.

These are the passages and territories where:

• a passage must be left for garbage trucks, ambulances and the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and other emergency services;
• there are playgrounds, exhaust from cars interferes with the kids and harm their health, and the children themselves in the game can harm vehicle;
• placed lawns. The punishment for finding a car on them is usually provided for by regional regulations.

In addition to traffic rules and local legislation, many parking rules near the house, in the courtyards are regulated by sanitary standards. So, they determine at what distance cars should be located from the windows of houses; it is forbidden to place them right next to the wall. So, if the yard layout provides for less than 10 parking spaces, the distance to the windows should be at least 10 m, if 10-50, then 15 m will need to be allocated.If 50-100 vehicles fit in the yard, 50 m is required.

These norms are almost never observed. Very often you can see cars standing next to the windows of apartments, especially in houses with an old yard layout, where a lawn at the entrance has not been created.

Code of Administrative Offenses

A substantial list of violations can be found in Art. 12.28 of the Administrative Code, which regulates compliance with traffic requirements for the pedestrian zone. They are not directly related to parking, but it will also be severely punished. These are the prohibitions:

• for through passage;
• training driving;
• a parking lot with the engine not turned off;
• passage and stop of vehicles with a permissible weight of more than 3.5 tons.

Important: If any such offense is detected, it must be recorded and reported to the traffic police, as it creates significant inconveniences for residents of an apartment building.

Evacuation conditions

A gross violation of traffic rules will lead to the fact that the car will be detained and sent to a penalty parking lot. This will force the car owner to pay extra:

• the cost of transportation, in various regions it will amount to a significant amount from 2 to 5 thousand rubles, it will cost even more for owners of heavy vehicles;
• tariffs for payment for the services of a parking lot, which is calculated per hour or per day, depending on the region;
• the cost of loading, if it was possible to agree and remove the car from the tow truck.

At the same time, the car cannot be collected if the drivers have accumulated unpaid fines. They sometimes add up to a significant amount, and the overall budget for the violation becomes such that the owner would rather just forget to get the car from the parking lot. If parking services can be paid for within 30 days, then without crediting the amount of arrears to the budget, permission to pick it up will not be provided. You can stop the evacuation if you quickly move the car to the right place, while the fine will still be issued.

Note: It will be possible to prevent transportation only until the moment when the vehicle is loaded onto a tow truck.

Penalties

Violation of the rules for parking a car in the courtyards of residential buildings will lead to significant fines. If the vehicle is left on the lawn, the amount of the penalty will be determined by local law. For example, in St. Petersburg you will have to pay 3-5 thousand rubles for this violation.
