New signs 2018
New sizes
The first innovation concerns the sizes of road signs used, including existing ones. Current GOST allows the use of signs with standard sizes from 600 to 1,200 millimeters (in diameter or per side if the sign is square, rectangular or triangular).
The new standard “in order to create a comfortable urban environment and improve visibility” recommends the use of signs of standard sizes 400 and 500 millimeters - they will be installed on roads with low speed limits and in dense buildings, and outside populated areas - on roads without paved surfaces and on single-lane roads roads. It is expected that reducing the size of the sign will not affect its readability, but will improve the appearance of the streets.
New signs
New signs prohibiting stopping and parking “are allowed to be installed perpendicular to the main road signs, including on the walls of buildings and fences.”
Thus, when choosing a place to stop and park, you will now have to not only take into account existing conditions such as even-odd days, but also inspect walls and fences for additional clarification on which part of the street the specified restrictions apply.
The sign “entry to the intersection in case of congestion is prohibited” was created for “additional visual designation” of intersections with “waffle” markings 3.34d.
Thus, this is already the third instruction in the traffic rules prohibiting driving into a clogged intersection: after all, in addition to the above two, there is also paragraph 13.2 of the traffic rules, which says exactly this, and paragraph 12.13.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses provides for a fine of 1,000 rubles for this violation.
Reverse traffic signs are intended to indicate a section of the road where traffic in any direction other than the opposite direction is prohibited.
Two such signs were introduced at once, but the scope of their application seems to be very limited - so much so that the drafters of the Standard left them without illustrations.
The “dedicated tram lane” sign, like some others, performs a duplicate function: it can be installed above dedicated tram tracks in addition to the corresponding markings.
Its use may be justified in certain areas, for example, in winter, when the markings are hidden under a layer of snow.
Three more new signs point the way traffic for public transport.
Unlike other signs like the “lane for route vehicles” and variations of exiting the road with it, which are designed to prevent “ordinary” drivers from violating traffic rules, these signs are not entirely clear, since in fact they are addressed exclusively to the drivers of the route vehicles themselves, who even without they know their daily route. In other words, all other drivers simply do not need them.
A group of signs regulating the direction of movement along a lane or lanes adds to the cohort of existing signs.
Moreover, the scope for creativity here is very wide, since the Standard “allows the free placement of arrows depending on the trajectory and number of directions of movement from the lane,” and on the arrows themselves “additional information signs can be placed.”
The next group of signs are signs indicating the beginning and end of the strip. The first, like traffic in lanes, can have different configurations and contain additional signs, and the second, unlike signs 5.15.5 and 5.15.6 already available in the traffic rules, contain information about priority when merging traffic.
Signs informing about changing lanes onto a parallel carriageway and the end of a parallel carriageway will be installed in addition to the usual "Give Way" and "Main Road" priority signs.
Theoretically, they should simplify the life of drivers in such areas - but the priority signs on them actually duplicate existing ones, but in a smaller size, and only the scheme itself can provide new information to traffic participants. The only question is whether this information is needed to pass the section.
A combined stop sign and route indicator does not change anything in the lives of drivers.
Its purpose is only to combine in one sign the information that is currently divided into two separate ones - this will make life easier for public transport passengers, and the sign itself does not become more difficult for road users to perceive.
Additional signs indicating a pedestrian crossing legitimize special reflective frames around an existing sign - however, only at unregulated pedestrian crossings and at crossings located in places without artificial lighting or limited visibility.
On the one hand, this is logical - but on the other, given the quality of lighting on many city streets, and indeed the “painlessness” of these frames for perception and their great benefits, it would be possible to allow their use in certain areas within the city.
A couple more new signs related to pedestrian crossings indicate for drivers diagonal pedestrian crossing.
The Standard's instruction that these signs should be installed instead of "regular" Pedestrian Crossing signs gives hope that there should be no more signs before major intersections. The sign itself is effective primarily in those conditions when the zebra crossing is not visible on the road. By the way, for pedestrians, the new signs are supplemented with a special information board indicating the possibility of crossing diagonally.
A very important and theoretically useful sign for drivers introduced by the new Standard is “ give in to everyone and you can turn right».
Both the idea and its trial implementation are not new - an experiment on applying such a rule was carried out several years ago. Judging by the fact that the mark also appeared in the new preliminary Standard, the results were rather positive, and the mark has a chance of becoming permanent.
A series of signs that looks good and bad at the same time is “ direction of travel at the next intersection».
Both the good and the bad about these signs are obvious: on the one hand, they make it easier to navigate on multi-lane roads for drivers who are not familiar with them, allowing them to occupy the correct lane for driving in advance, and on the other hand, this large canvas will be installed above the “direction” signs lanes" that regulate traffic at the current intersection. That is, instead of one large block of signs above the intersection there will be two - and at least at first this will make it difficult to perceive.
Bicycle and pedestrian zone– innovation of the preliminary Standard. The sign will be installed in areas where “only pedestrians and cyclists are permitted in cases where pedestrians and cyclists are not separated into separate flows” and “entry of vehicles is possible.”
This sign differs from the existing sign 4.5.2, which indicates a bicycle and pedestrian path with combined traffic (in particular, a complete ban on the movement of cars and the beginning and end must be marked).
A huge layer of new signs introduced by the new Standard concerns parking. Firstly, the signs " paid parking"combined the existing signs 6.4 and 8.8, and for some reason introduced two equivalent signs to indicate paid parking. Sign " disabled parking", fortunately, remained in a single version, but it was also obtained by combining sign 6.4 and 8.17.
Off-street parking now it is also indicated by its own signs - intuitive, but also duplicated.
We combined the parking sign with additional signs 8.6.1 - 8.6.9 and for signs “ parking with a vehicle stowage method" - this was done "to save space and materials." In addition, a herringbone parking structure has appeared here - and also in two equivalent variations.
Two signs now indicate parking indicating number of parking spaces.
Here the number of signs is obviously justified by the type of parking - paid or free.
But even this seemed not enough. By analogy with the above-mentioned signs prohibiting stopping and parking, new signs were introduced parking directions, which “are allowed to be installed perpendicular to the main road signs, including on the walls of buildings and fences.” In general, there are much more reasons to look around and scan walls and fences.
Well, the last part of the new preliminary Standard contains new signs of additional information - information plates. So, the sign " time limit» is installed in addition to signs regulating parking and may contain any necessary time.
The seasonality of certain characters may be indicated by the sign " months».
Under sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)” in cases where the width of parking spaces is less than 2.25 m, there will now be a sign “ width limitation”, indicating the maximum permissible width of a car allowed to be parked - that is, owners of large cars should brush up on their knowledge by checking the exact width of their vehicle in the owner's manual.
Now, a quarter of a century after the approval of Russian traffic regulations, a “deaf pedestrians” sign appeared in them, which formed a pair with the already existing sign 8.15 “Blind pedestrians”. What is surprising is not so much the appearance of this sign, but the moment of its appearance - was there really no need for it before?
Another new sign that will appear with the introduction of the preliminary Standard is a sign with the vague name “ Type of vehicle" It, paired with sign 6.4 “Parking (parking space)” will create specialized parking for tourist buses where necessary.
Practical use
For now, all these signs will be used only in three cities of federal significance: Moscow, St. Petersburg and Sevastopol. The experiment will last until November 2020, after which the traffic police will draw conclusions about whether the new system will bring more benefits or confusion.
Traffic signs 2019 with explanations and latest changes is an excellent primer for beginners, written in simple and accessible language.
Fines, accidents, criminal sentences, broken destinies, deaths of loved ones on the asphalt - all these are the results of studying traffic rules in driving schools, where the material is taught in a boring, inexpressive, concise manner.
This review of road signs with pictures and accessible explanations is the accurate and creative work of a professional instructor and teacher Alexey Puloroshev.
In this article:
The latest news about signs and markings, changes in legislation, appear promptly on this page.
General overview of road signs
For your convenience, the manual is divided into several parts, each dedicated to a separate section. Each section contains road signs with pictures and explanations.By spending about 5 minutes on each part, you can easily learn to understand the main road signs and easily navigate urban or suburban traffic:
WARNING SIGNS
They warn about danger or about a difficult section of the road - there are the largest number of them on the roads.
PROHIBITED SIGNS
They restrict certain driver actions - driving, parking, turning, and so on.
PRIORITY SIGNS
They establish the order of travel and designate the main or secondary road.
.
MANDATORY SIGNS
They prescribe where the driver should go - determine the correct direction, separate flows and lanes.
INFORMATION SIGNS
Informs about the location of various road objects, settlements and geographical points.
The course is written by the author, the form is simple and accessible, which is suitable even for children. The signs are reviewed with the latest changes for 2019. At the same time, before taking the exam, it is better to read the entire traffic rules course, written in official language and in full form, since it is in this context that traffic situations are discussed with the examiner and the task is stated in the tickets.
Latest changes for 2019
In 2019, a new road sign “Bicycle Zone” will be introduced. The movement of mechanical vehicles in the area covered by this sign is allowed only at a speed of no more than 20 km/h, and cyclists have priority. Pedestrians are also allowed to move in the area of the sign, and they have the right to cross the road anywhere.
Of course, the initiative is dubious, since the sign is very similar to the action of the “Pedestrian Zone”, but, probably, the authorities decided to liberalize cyclists and create several zones in the country where there will be an emphasis on pedal transport.
The Second Amendment also applies to cyclists. Previously, they were prohibited from turning left within the coverage area of a Direction of Traffic sign if the road being crossed had more than two lanes (one-way traffic). This was done for safety reasons - so that they would not be hit by cars turning on the right.
Now such a turn is allowed (in the picture), which again should create a more comfortable passage through intersections for citizens on bicycles.
Starting from 2019, the mandatory use of the “Spikes” sign, which was glued to the rear window of the car, will be cancelled.
How to notice and “read” road signs quickly and easily?
The problem of all novice drivers is that they cannot quickly “read” the sign, or do not notice it at all, being distracted by the controls. In traffic situations, this sometimes takes no more than a split second.
Moreover, in this split second you need to not only see the sign, but also solve a traffic problem.
It must be said that in Russia, as well as other CIS countries, signs are placed anywhere - behind trees or billboards, and hung above the road, and installed in the oncoming direction.
Indeed, it is sometimes difficult to figure it out. But there is a way out.
So for this:
It is necessary to learn the signs, understand the logic of their location, recognize them at the level of reflexes. Solve tickets multiple times, always look at the signs, even when walking, think through different situations, don’t be lazy!
Driving must be perfected. The brain should not be preoccupied with thoughts about the required gear, clutch or gas pedal. And work on assessing the road situation.
Road signs, like pedestrians (or inappropriate drivers), need to be constantly LOOKED for on the road. Constantly monitor roadsides, stretch marks, and buildings.
Then the risk of getting into an accident or violating traffic rules is minimized.
Tricky exam tricks
Inspectors taking the exam in the city pay the greatest attention to two important things: confident management and the adequacy of the graduate. What is meant by adequacy? Correct reaction to road signs and the situation in general.
Local traffic police departments are very much criticized for the accident statistics of graduate drivers. When these statistics become very bad, “massive blockages” begin in the city, and, it would seem, for no particular reason. How to pass the exam?
For example, there is a pedestrian crossing ahead. There are no people nearby. Does the driver have the right to pass it without reducing speed? It has!
But if the cadet lets off the gas a little and looks around, the inspector notes for himself that the person is thinking while driving, and tries to avoid even a remote accident.
There is a sign ahead indicating an intersection with a secondary road. You have the advantage, but you must respond to the warning. At a minimum, you need to look there, but it’s better to slow down by 5-7 km/h.
During the exam, inspectors may be asked to choose a place to stop (they try not to provoke a violation), or to turn around. Naturally, you need to keep in mind the zones of prohibition signs, as well as prohibited zones for these maneuvers.

What should I do if I passed a sign before an intersection? There is only one way out - let everyone through, make sure it’s safe, and then go. And don’t be afraid to look stupid - everyone makes mistakes, even experienced drivers.
Are road signs different in every country? No. But there are differences - in the USA, for example, they like to install signs with detailed text, in Europe there are many specific information signs, in Japan and China the differences are even more striking. So when traveling abroad, some getting used to is required.
What is the most dangerous road sign? All signs, except informational ones, pose a danger not only in terms of violations, but also if you crash into them. If we start from fines, then the largest sanctions arise from a violation for “driving under a brick” (that is, under a “No Traffic” sign) – deprivation of rights for up to 6 months.
Traffic signs 2019 with explanations are the best and most accessible guide on the RuNet today for instantly studying traffic rules on a computer, mobile phone or tablet.
The concept of a “professional driver” is always associated with a beautiful, smooth and safe ride. The ability to navigate in an unfamiliar environment, quickly react, and easily solve road puzzles brings much more pleasure than empty recklessness.
There is no limit to perfection! Driving skill is an inexhaustible topic, consisting of many factors; it is learned throughout a driver’s life. Techniques for driving through skids, holding the car in the event of a broken steering rod or a burst tire, fuel economy, numerous technical and legal issues... But the basis is still knowledge of traffic rules. And the first step of this basic knowledge is TRAFFIC SIGNS 2019!
It is prohibited to drive at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign.
If you exceed the permitted speed with a difference of up to +10 km/h, a traffic police inspector can stop you if the movement of your car differs from the flow of others, and at the same time give only a warning. Exceeding the speed limit over +20 km/h is punishable by a fine; over +80 km/h - fine or deprivation of rights.
A difference of up to +20 km/h is allowed due to the fact that the inspector’s “radar” shows instantaneous speed, while the driver’s speedometer shows average speed. The accuracy of the speedometer readings is also affected by the wheel rolling radius (Rk), which is not a constant value; in addition, the speedometer has a rough scale of divisions.
Coverage:
1. From the installation site to the nearest intersection, and in a populated area, if there is no intersection, to the end of the populated area.
2. The effect of the sign is not interrupted at exit points from territories adjacent to the road and at intersections (junctions) with field, forest and other secondary roads in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed.
3. The coverage area may be limited to tab. 8.2.1 "Coverage area".
4. To the same sign with a different speed value.
5. Before sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2 “Beginning of a populated area” with a white background.
6. Until sign 3.25 "End of maximum speed limit zone."
7. Until sign 3.31 “End of all restrictions zone”.
If the sign has a yellow background, then the sign is temporary.
In cases where the meanings of temporary road signs and permanent road signs contradict each other, drivers must be guided by the temporary signs.
