Good afternoon, dear reader.
Improper parking of a car is one of the most common violations of traffic rules in Russian cities.
The rules provide for quite a few conditions under which stopping or parking is prohibited, and in different cases the driver faces different penalties.
In addition, the size of the fine depends on the territory in which region the car is parked incorrectly.
This article will talk about fines that can be imposed for parking in the wrong place :
- Throughout Russia: deprivation of rights for 3-6 months or 5,000 rubles;
- 5,000 rubles + evacuation;
- 1,000 rubles.
- 3,000 rubles + evacuation;
- 2,000 rubles + evacuation;
Throughout Russia
Deprivation of rights for 3-6 months or 5,000 rubles
The most severe punishment for illegal parking - deprivation of rights for a period of 3 to 6 months can be imposed only in the case of parking at a railway crossing. An alternative punishment is a fine of 5,000 rubles.
Stopping and parking in front of the railway crossing
5,000 rubles + evacuation
A fine of 5,000 rubles can be imposed only for parking a car in a space designated for disabled people (in any region):
In addition, the car is towed to the impound lot.
1,000 rubles
A fine of 1,000 rubles is imposed for stopping or parking on a highway outside of special areas marked with signs 6.4 and 7.11.
Traffic rules on the highway
The real reasons for deciding to impose fines
There is an opinion that the motivation of rural officials is not at all concerned about the citizens-dacha residents and not in concern about the condition of green spaces. It is known that some fined drivers were invited to the administration to give explanations about the incident. Here they were hinted that the plot of land where the car was parked could be purchased or leased, and then no fines would be imposed.
Tip: In fact, the land may already belong to you. It is enough to identify the plot by cadastral number and check whether the very “patch” where the car was parked is included in your territory. In this case, the fine will be illegal.
Automotive lawyers involved in such cases believe that the administration simply found a convenient way to replenish the budget at the expense of ordinary people. People often go to court, where the judge rules in their favor. It is enough to justify your statement.
In Moscow and St. Petersburg
3,000 rubles + evacuation
A fine of 3,000 rubles can be imposed only in Moscow and St. Petersburg for violations of parking rules in the following places:
- at a pedestrian crossing and closer than 5 meters in front of it;
- On Pavement;
- at a public transport or taxi stop, or closer than 15 meters from them;
- on tram tracks;
- in the tunnel;
- on the roadway causing interference with the movement of other vehicles;
- beyond the first row;
- within the coverage area of the signs, stopping is prohibited or parking is prohibited, installed together with the “tow truck in operation” sign.
In addition, the car is towed to the impound lot.
3,000 rubles
A fine of 3,000 rubles can be imposed only in Moscow and St. Petersburg for parking under prohibitory signs, under which there is no “tow truck in operation” sign.
2,500 rubles
A fine of 2,500 rubles is imposed only in Moscow and St. Petersburg for illegal parking in other cases.
You can get this punishment for stopping:
- on an overpass, bridge or overpass that has less than three lanes for traffic in a given direction, or under these structures;
- at a place where the distance from the car to a continuous marking line, dividing strip or the opposite edge of the roadway is less than 3 meters;
- near dangerous turns and convex breaks in the longitudinal profile of the road with visibility less than 100 meters;
- at the intersection of roadways or closer than 5 meters from such an intersection;
- in a place where the car will block signs or traffic lights from other drivers;
- in a place where the car will interfere with the movement of pedestrians;
- in the bike lane.
The same penalty can be imposed for parking less than 50 meters from a railway crossing.
How can you prove that a fine is illegal?
Having received a “letter of happiness”, you should not give up and run to pay a fine. Better try to challenge it. There are enough reasons for this:
- Firstly, smartphones cannot be considered a means of recording a violation, that is, pictures are not enough to issue a fine.
- Secondly, you need to determine who owns the land where the car was parked. The local area is not always the property of the municipality. Often, part of the land at the roadside is included in the site.
- Thirdly, the order of the procedure may become the main argument in canceling the decision. The driver was not near the car, the photo is not a basis, which means the fine is illegal.
The listed points are enough to go to court and not pay a fine at all. There is no need to be fooled by the fact that the administration promises to reduce the amount if the driver comes and writes an explanatory note, because the fine can be canceled completely.
In other regions of Russia
2,000 rubles + evacuation

In addition, the car is towed to the impound lot.

- in the bike lane.
The same penalty may be imposed for parking:

- at a distance of less than 50 meters from the railway crossing.
Grounds for issuing a fine
The main reason for imposing such a fine is non-compliance with the provisions of the law on maintaining the amenities of house and courtyard areas, as well as violation of general parking regulations. Motorists are accused of damaging landscaping, even if there are none in parking areas.
In fact, everything is quite subjective. It is very difficult to establish whether the driver violated the rules of the parks in the dacha cooperative or not, if there are no specialized sites there, there are no asphalt roads, and the markings have not been completed. It would seem that parking in such places cannot be regarded as a violation of the rules, however, the administration of dacha-type settlements thinks otherwise.
A photograph of a car parked in such a place is enough to “pull” a person to account. Moreover, in the capital region, complaints are sent in electronic format through a special application “Moscow Assistant” (MADI). It is noteworthy that it is not the complaint itself that is sent online, but simply a photo of the car with license plates.
Parking in winter
When winter arrives, the sidewalk and lawn are covered with snow, and they visually become the same level as the roadway.
Thus, it is very difficult for drivers to determine the boundaries of the improvement area. Because of this, they often abandon their car in prohibited places. The law states that such parking is not always considered an offense. Utility services can fine a would-be driver only if the fenced lawn is planted with low shrubs or root shoots of roses, which are prohibited from being damaged. When hitting such plants, their root system can be damaged, so their restoration when spring arrives will be almost impossible.
It should be noted that in large cities the practice of placing green parking spaces is quite often used. This zone is called “eco-parking”. Eco-parking is a lawn surface that is resistant to daily car parking. Such a zone is created on the territory of the old lawn, on which a geosynthetic fabric is applied to protect the lawn.
This zone has the status of a “specially designated place”, where the law allows vehicles to stop, and special road signs are also placed on it.
Who issues a fine for driving on the lawn?
Traffic police or local administration employees have the right to issue a fine . The State Traffic Inspectorate is looking into this because it is illegal parking. If the lawn is located in a residential area, then the administration of the locality decides the issue.
The grounds for applying sanctions are as follows:
- the vehicle is located in an unauthorized parking place;
- obtaining information from the media or public organizations;
- complaint from the owners or management company.

How can residents deal with car offenders?
To bring to justice a violator who ignores parking rules and established prohibitions, it is recommended:
- record the violation in a photo or video;
- report it to authorized persons of state authorities: the Department of State and Housing Supervision, the police - the local police officer or the traffic police; Evidence should be provided whenever possible.
Not only residents of an apartment building, but also employees of the management company (HOA) can report a violation.
Warming up the car under the windows of residents
Before driving in the cold season, the car engine must be preheated. Of course, residents of the lower floors are clearly not happy about this circumstance, since they often complain about noise and the unpleasant smell of exhaust gases. In turn, drivers refer to the fact that current regulations do not indicate the minimum distance for parking to a residential building.
Building regulations (42.13330.2011) indicate that parking lots with a capacity of up to 10 cars must be at a distance of 10 meters or further from a residential building.
But this rule applies only to official places that are allocated for parking. Parking near the house does not comply with regulations, which means that the owner of the car cannot be held accountable. But there is another way. The traffic rules state that you cannot leave a car with the engine running for more than 5 minutes within the local area.
If such an offense occurs, the fine is 500 rubles. And in the capital of the Russian Federation, St. Petersburg, penalties are 5 times higher (12.19 Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia). It is possible to initiate a case under this article. The basis is an appeal from citizens to the traffic police, and photographic and video materials are accepted as evidence. Thus, prolonged warming of the car under the windows of neighbors leads to liability if a complaint is received.
