Alas, Moscow cannot boast of such a parking order.

Remember a simple axiom - only a tank driver is not required to be able to park his vehicle. For everyone else, parking rules are prescribed in the traffic rules.

Stop or stop?

Obeying the fashion for Western terminology and the ubiquitous Anglicisms, we will not abandon such a thing as "parking". But in our legislative framework another term appears - "parking". And if drivers have long figured out the difference between “inspection” and “inspection” of a vehicle, then they often have difficulties with the definition of “parking” and “stop”.

A stop is a pause in the course, a parking is a stop for 5 or more minutes.

Photo mashinapro.ru

So, a stop is, in simple terms, a cessation of movement lasting no more than 5 minutes.
However, the rules do not limit drivers to five minutes if this time is not enough for them to drop off / pick up passengers or load / unload. But if the vehicle is standing for more than 5 minutes, and this has nothing to do with either passengers or cargo, then this is already a parking lot.

Parking rules for everyone

First, let's figure out why you still need to park correctly. Quite often, novice drivers and experienced “turn the steering wheel” believe that it doesn’t really matter where the car is parked. But, having correctly parked your vehicle, you, firstly, will reduce your chances of meeting and communicating with all of us beloved traffic police inspectors and such trouble as a fine.

Someone parks however they want...

Photo huffpost.com

Secondly, competent parking will protect your car from troubles, such as traffic accidents without traffic or mechanical damage caused by particularly disgruntled pedestrians who defend their rights using radical methods.

And someone - how can.

Photo drive2.ru

By the way, about the accident.

If your car was not parked according to the rules and became a participant in a traffic accident, then all the blame and administrative responsibility will inevitably and automatically fall on you.

Where can you park?

The current Rules of the Road say where you can park and where you can’t. From paragraph 12.1 you can find out that parking can be organized on the side of the road to the right of the road or at the edge of the carriageway. If you still want to park on the left, then this can only be done on roads with one lane in each direction and without tram tracks.

It is the violation of parking rules that is the cause of difficulties with parking in Moscow

Photo auto.vesti.ru

But the union of a parked car and a sidewalk is discussed in section 12.2. If you travel by bicycle, moped, motorcycle and car, then you have every right to park your vehicle in the places that are marked with a parking sign…

... and one of the signs below (here is the answer to the frequently asked question - is it possible to park on the sidewalk).

In all other cases, you will have to park at your own peril and risk. And, of course, conscience.

Where not to park

No matter how we feel about prohibition signs, it is often more expensive to ignore them.
Parking is prohibited if the next sign is on the horizon.

The action of the sign "Parking is prohibited" extends from the place where the sign was installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in settlements in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement.

At the same time, variations of this sign can be observed on the streets of Russian cities.

Parking prohibited on odd days of the month

Parking prohibited on even days of the month

But there are also more general rules.
For example, under no circumstances can you legally park your car on the sidewalk if it is a truck. In addition, parking is prohibited in those places where stopping is not allowed, which is quite logical.

Also, you cannot park a vehicle on that carriageway outside the settlement, which is marked with the sign "Main Road".

Do not forget that it is strictly forbidden to organize parking closer than 50 meters from railway crossings.

Interesting

The sign "Pedestrian path" prohibits the movement of cars, but nothing is said about parking on the path for pedestrians and cyclists. Yes, a fine of 2 thousand rubles. you will have to pay, because it is impossible to get into the forbidden territory without movement. However, according to the Code of Administrative Offenses, the traffic police have no right to evacuate your car to the impound lot from the footpath. Many Muscovites, those who have more money, take advantage of this flaw in the Code, and habitually park their four-wheeled "horses" on the tracks intended for "two-legged".

How much does illegal parking cost?

Municipal authorities are constantly increasing parking penalties where parking is prohibited. At the same time, there is a certain gradation of fines depending on the region or city. For example, in Moscow and St. Petersburg, fines are higher than in other Russian cities.

Yard parking rules: it's good where we are not

It should be recognized that the rules for parking in yards and in adjacent territories have not yet been unambiguously defined at the legislative level. But it would be worth it, because, for example, Moscow courtyards are more and more reminiscent of a zone high voltage that occurs between residents. However, there is a code general rules which every driver must comply with.

It is strictly forbidden to park the car on lawns. The provision on "green zones" is not spelled out in the traffic rules, but such parking violates another set of rules - the rules for the improvement of the city. In addition, it is impossible to block the passage that impedes the movement of other vehicles and pedestrians. Sidewalks in yards are also a taboo zone for car owners.

Sometimes in the yards there is a "parking nonsense"

Photo zyalt.livejournal.com

If we talk about some clear instructions, then parking a car is prohibited closer than 10 meters from the doors, whether it be the doors of a store or an entrance, and also no closer than 5 meters from garbage containers.

In London, a car owner can buy the right to park next to the house or in the yard for 100 pounds per year. For all other parking spaces, Londoners pay an hourly fee of £4 and may stay in this space for a maximum of four hours.

Regarding other prohibitions, it is forbidden to park a car with a running engine in the yards. Remember - no more than 4 minutes 59 seconds. This rule is worth considering for motorists who warm up the engine before leaving in the winter months.

And, of course, completely discriminated against for yard parking trucks licensed mobiles maximum weight more than 3.5 tons.

Parking rules in Moscow

The city can be considered the one that has reached the highest level of motorization, if there are from 300 to 400 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants. In 2013 Moscow is in the list of the most motorized cities took second place- 380 cars per "kilo-capita" of the population. Hence the 127 hours a year that a Moscow driver spends fighting traffic jams.

Free parking is a luxury for Moscow

Photo auto.mail.ru

So. As soon as the city reaches a high level of motorization, it automatically refuses the “free parking” regulation. This is the answer to the question why parking in Moscow has become paid. We must not forget about the convenience of pedestrians, the priority of public transport and moving cars. Parked cars that simply occupy public space are at the very bottom of the priority table. In other words, if you want to stand, pay. This is exactly what is said on the pages of the project, which is designed to cope with the problem of "chaotic parking" on the streets of the capital.

The rules for parking in the center of Moscow are simple to the point of banality - you can leave your car wherever it is not prohibited by the rules or relevant road signs. If you do not follow this norm, then be sure to replenish the statistics of those evacuated for improper parking of cars - about 1,300 rubles per day.

You can pay for parking at the parking meter

Photo torange.ru

Most shopping centers in Moscow provide free parking spaces, but there are some (located inside the Third Transport Ring) where only the first hours of parking are free. There are also little parking tricks: you can leave your car in the parking lot of the Moskva Hotel if you buy at least something in one of the many local boutiques.

Subtleties of the question

Under no circumstances may you trample the grass on the lawn with the tires of your car. Here, however, the amount of the administrative fine for this is different everywhere, because these fines are established by local governments.

If you put your car in the parking lot, but at the same time only drove a little on the curb, then law enforcement officers will definitely regard this as a full-fledged parking on the sidewalk. For the convenience of one wheel - a fine and the evacuation of the "steel horse" to the "penal stable".

Imagine that you left your car on the sidewalk. Under current law, if you violate the rules of parking or stopping on the sidewalk, which caused the obstruction of pedestrian traffic, you can be fined two times the minimum wage. But the fact of creating obstacles still needs to be proven. And there is no fact, there is no corpus delicti. However, at the forefront of all such situations should be law-abiding.

Today, traffic cops use devices called "Parkon", which independently identify and record parking violations. After that, drivers receive "letters of happiness". So do not rely on chance and beware of newfangled gadgets that law enforcement officers are armed with.

If you want to know what kind of person - look how he parks the car!

Photo fedpress.ru

In order not to lose money (fines, payment for evacuation and storage in a parking lot), time and nerve cells, try to get along with this capricious lady, whose name is "Parking". Remember the patience of the legendary Noah, who, on his ark, packed with passengers, searched for parking until he found it near the majestic Ararat. Respect the law, pedestrians and your fellow drivers and you will always find a parking space under the sun.

Stopping a vehicle is a maneuver that will take no more than five minutes to load and unload any items and (or) disembark and alight passengers.

Parking or parking is a maneuver of a longer nature, over five minutes, which is intended for purposes other than stopping.

In order for any driver to understand whether it is allowed to stop or park his car in a particular place, you need to do two things:

• clearly define the purpose and time of your planned maneuver;
• evaluate the presence of prohibitory road signs 3.28, 3.27, markings on this section of the road, as well as generally assess the location of your car in relation to those places where parking and stopping are prohibited by the general rules of the road. At the same time, you need to remember about the allowable distances between a standing car and a pedestrian zebra, public transport stops, railway crossings, turns and intersections, the edges of the carriageway.

Rules for parking and stopping vehicles: remember that the most correct stop will be in places marked with the sign "P" - parking:

If you plan to park your car outside the parking sign, you can do so on the side of the right side of the road. And in the event that there is simply no roadside, then you can leave your car on the roadway, placing it as close to the edge as possible. Vehicles on four wheels can fit only in one row, and on two wheels - in one or two rows parallel to the edge of the carriageway.

Within built-up areas, on roads with one lane in one direction (no tram tracks in the middle) and one way roads, you can stop on the left side of the road. And outside the settlements, you can make a long stop (parking) only outside the road, and best of all in special guarded parking lots (so as not to become a victim of robbers).

Road signs "Stopping prohibited" and "Parking prohibited"

The very first acquaintance with road signs for each driver begins in a driving school. And the largest amount of time is devoted to prohibition signs. This is partly due to human psychology: he needs to know exactly what is forbidden, so that there are as few variations on the theme as possible: what is not forbidden is allowed!

It should be noted that there are only 4 signs that prohibit parking and stopping, according to the traffic rules:

• 27, prohibiting stopping and parking (parking) of motor vehicles;
• 28, prohibiting only the parking (parking) of motor vehicles;
• 29, prohibiting parking (parking) of motor vehicles on odd days of the month;
• 30, prohibiting the parking (parking) of motor vehicles on even days of the month;

Appearance of signs

The appearance of all prohibition signs is united by a round shape with a red rim. However, for signs prohibiting stopping and parking, not a white background is used, as for all the others, but bright blue (to attract attention).

The NO STOP sign is indicated by two crossed red stripes on a blue background. Such appearance was designed to associate prohibition, which a person can show with his hands by crossing them and putting them in front of him. From a psychological point of view, this gesture means prohibition, categoricalness, danger.

The NO PARKING sign is a circle with a single red line through it on a blue background. Such submission of information warns about part of the ban. It prohibits only a long parking (parking) maneuver. This sign is not as categorical as the previous one.

The NO PARKING ON ODD DATES OF THE MONTH sign looks like a NO PARKING sign with the addition of the Roman numeral "I" for odd days of the month.

The sign "PARKING IS PROHIBITED ON EVEN DATES OF THE MONTH" is similar, but supplemented by the Roman deuce "II", which means even numbers of any month.

Rules for the use of signs

Sign 3.27 "STOP FORBIDDEN" does not allow all vehicles to stop on this section of the road, except for route vehicles, even for such a short time period as 5 minutes. Accordingly, if you can’t stop, then you can’t park the car for a longer time. Therefore, this sign prohibits stopping and parking. This sign is valid only on the side of the road where it is installed. It can be duplicated by a yellow solid marking line.

Sign 3.28 "PARKING PROHIBITED" prohibits vehicles from parking (parking), but at the same time does not prohibit a short stop of the vehicle for the purposes of unloading and loading, disembarking and embarking passengers (up to 5 minutes). This sign is valid only on the side of the road where it is installed. It can be duplicated by a yellow broken marking line applied to the curb or edge of the carriageway. As an exception, postal cars, cars driven by people with disabilities (1-2 degrees) or carrying people with disabilities, including minors, as well as a licensed taxi with a taximeter turned on, can park within the limits of this sign.

Sign 3.29 "PARKING PROHIBITED ON ODD DATES OF THE MONTH" and sign 3.30 "PARKING PROHIBITED ON EVEN DATES OF THE MONTH" indicate a ban on parking cars on odd and even days of the month, respectively. However, this does not prohibit short-term stops, no more than five minutes. These signs are valid only on the side of the road where they are installed. Exceptions when parking within the limits of these signs can be cars of the Russian Post, (1-2 gr.), Which can drive them independently or are designed to transport them, including disabled children, as well as taxi cars with a taximeter turned on.

If these two signs are installed at the same time, this means that on both sides of the road you can stop (park) all vehicles from 19-00 to 21-00. And from 21-00 the sign of another day (even or odd) begins to operate.

Signs with additional plates

All four road signs that regulate the fulfillment of parking and stopping requirements can be installed together with signs 8.2.3 and 8.2.4. If you see sign 8.2.4 in conjunction with one of the prohibition signs governing stopping and parking, know that you and your vehicle are within its coverage area. And the plate 8.2.3 says that the end of the prohibition zone has come.

In addition, the signs "PARKING PROHIBITED" and "STOP PROHIBITED" may be placed on certain sections of the road together with signs 8.4.1 - 8.4.8, which indicate the type of transport covered by these signs.

The black-and-white drawings clearly show that we are talking about a specific type of vehicle:

• 4.1: trucks with or without a trailer weighing more than 3.5 tons;
• 4.2: trucks and tractors with trailers and semi-trailers, and all vehicles involved in the towing process;
• 4.3: all vehicles of category "B", that is, cars and trucks weighing up to 3.5 tons;
• 4.4: route vehicles only;
• 4.5: agricultural, road machinery and tractors;
• 4.6: scooters (speed up to 50 km/h or engine capacity up to 50 cm3), tricycles, quadricycles, motorcycles with and without a side trailer;
• 4.7: all types of bicycles, including hybrids;
• 4.8: all vehicles with informative signs "Dangerous goods".

Sign 3.27 "STOP IS PROHIBITED", the only one of the four above signs, can be installed with a sign 8.18 (it is called "Except for the disabled"), which says that cars for the disabled can stop (park) in the zone of the sign. We are talking about vehicles that can be driven by a disabled person, or designed to transport persons with disabilities, including minors.

Area of ​​validity of signs

In the rules of traffic rules there is such a thing as the zone of validity of signs. Unless otherwise specified, prohibition signs 3.27-3.30 extend to the nearest intersection in the direction of travel.

By other means:

• signs that announce the beginning of settlements (5.23.1, 5.23.2, 5.25);
• signs that announce the end of settlements (5.24.1, 5.24.2, 5.26);
  
• sign 3.31 "End of all restrictions";
  
• sign 8.2.2 "Scope of action". This sign is used exclusively with our signs 3.27-3.30 in order to reduce their coverage area.
  

The difference between parking and stopping a car

What is the difference between parking and stopping? drivers are interested.

The difference between parking and stopping lies in two essential points:

1. During the maneuver:

• if you are going to stop the car for a short time up to 5 minutes, then this is a stop;
• any actions in time exceeding 5 minutes will be considered parking (parking).

1. For the purpose of the maneuver:

• if the purpose of stopping your vehicle is unloading and loading any things, objects, objects and (or) getting passengers into or out of the car, then this is a stop;
• if your actions after stopping the engine of the car differ from loading and unloading, disembarking, landing, then this is parking (parking).

For a clear definition of the concept of “Stop”, both moments must coincide, both the goal and the time. Everything else is treated as parking. That is, if you stop for up to 5 minutes, but sit in the car (do not load things and you do not have passengers who enter (exit) the car or out of it), then you are in the parking lot. If you are engaged in unloading and loading operations or getting people on and off for more than 5 minutes, this is also a parking lot.

Where is parking prohibited by traffic rules?

Parking is strictly prohibited in places that are specially designed for vehicles of persons who have received the status of a disabled person for health reasons (Group 1-2, disabled minors), both for independent movement and for their transportation (transportation).

And the rest of the prohibitions on parking cars apply equally to parking and stopping. Since PARKING (PARKING) IS FORBIDDEN WHERE STOPING IS PROHIBITED. After all, if it is forbidden to stop even for a very short time (5 minutes), then it is even more impossible to stop the car for a longer time.

Namely:

• you can not leave the car on the lane, which is intended for cyclists;
• it is forbidden to stop and park the car on a pedestrian zebra and closer than 5 m on both sides of it;
• it is forbidden to park on tram lines and in their vicinity (this may interfere with their movement);
• at railway crossings and closer than 50 m from them;
• on bridges, overpasses, tunnels, overpasses that have less than 3 lanes in one direction and under them;
• at official stops of public and fixed-route transport, taxi ranks, marked with special signs and closer than 15 meters on both sides of them;
• you can not park the car at intersections (except for T-shaped ones) and 5 meters from the edge of the intersected carriageway;
• it is impossible to park the car in such a way that the visibility of traffic lights, road signs is blocked, thereby interfering with the passage (arrival, departure) of other vehicles and the passage of pedestrians may be created;
• You can't park in places where parked car will not be visible on the road from a distance of less than 100 meters ( sharp turns roads, specific features of the landscape);
• if a parked car is parked in such a way that less than 3 m remains between it and a solid (separating) strip, you can’t stop like that.

Where is it forbidden to stop according to traffic rules?

The main points of stopping prohibitions are described in the previous paragraph, according to the rule: "If stopping is prohibited, then parking is also prohibited."

Road markings prohibiting parking or stopping

Sign 3.27 can be duplicated by road markings: a solid yellow line drawn on the edge of the carriageway.

Sign 3.28 can be duplicated by road markings: a dashed yellow line applied to the curb or edge of the carriageway.

Responsibility of the driver for violation of the rules of parking and stopping

Violations of the parking and stopping rules, according to the requirements of signs 3.27-3.30, are punishable by a fine of 500 rubles.

However, besides this, there are other penalties for the following violations of parking (parking) rules, namely:

• warming up a car in the winter season under the windows of a residential apartment building for more than 5 minutes, as well as parking a car with a running engine within a residential area, are punishable by a fine of 1.5 to 3 thousand rubles. (depending on city laws);
• a parked truck of category “C” near a residential building (in a parking pocket) can bring its owner a fine of 1.5 to 3 tr. (depending on city laws). "Big cargo" can be parked only at special parking lots;
• left your car near the residential building, next to the garbage containers (closer than 5 m from them)? You can earn a fine from 2 to 5 tr;
• parking on lawns is a serious offence. Fine for private car owners up to 5 thousand rubles, for officials in the capital and St. Petersburg from 30 to 50 thousand rubles, and organizations from 150 to 500 thousand rubles;
• Arbitrarily equipped with a private parking space in your own yard? This is fraught with a fine of 5 tr. and an order to dismantle the structure from the city authorities;
• parking in yards and on roads with a drive on the sidewalk (curb) can cost 1 tr, and the violating car can be evacuated;
• parking spaces for people with handicapped(disabled) is punished with a fine of 5 thousand rubles;
• parking a car with violations of traffic rules within stops, on a zebra, on highways or railway crossings, is punishable by 1 tr. for one violation;

Conclusion

From the foregoing, it can be concluded that the most important rules Traffic rules, stopping and parking, are the most used by every driver. And it doesn't matter if the driver is experienced or just a beginner, urban or rural, every single day they are faced with the rules of stopping and parking. Compliance with these rules guarantees the absence of fines from the State traffic inspectorate and the relative safety of your car. If it is properly parked, then the chances of discovering the loss, due to evacuation or illegal actions of angry third parties, are reduced to zero.

Lawyers advise replacing the word "parking" in colloquial speech with the word "parking", after which there will be much less confusion between parking and stopping, due to the lack of consonance.

Rules for stopping and parking vehicles: video course

Every year, traffic in megacities has become more intense, because the number of cars is steadily growing. By purchasing new car, many do not even think about where they will park it, being sure that it is enough to leave it in the yard.

But this is an extremely important issue, not only from the point of view of disgruntled neighbors, but also from the point of view of the law. We often answer questions from motorists about how to legally park in the yard, and what to avoid in order not to get a fair punishment.

○ Yard parking rules.

You should start by defining what this very “yard area” is. Immediately, we note that the Rules of the Road do not give the desired clear concept. At the same time, section 17, devoted to traffic in residential areas, applies to courtyard areas, as expressly stated in clause 17.4:

• “The requirements of this section also apply to yard areas.”

Therefore, it remains only to be content with the general legal definition of a yard area as a space bounded by buildings along the perimeter, inside which, as a rule, playgrounds, places for recreation, green spaces, local driveways to houses, schools, kindergartens, etc. are located. But there is one a significant difference - it is not marked with signs 5.21 (residential area) and 5.22 (end of the residential area), and therefore the driver needs to be careful and understand that otherwise all the rules for driving and parking vehicles in the residential area apply here.

So clause 17.2 of the SDA clearly says:

• “Through traffic, training driving, parking with a running engine, as well as parking are prohibited in a residential area. trucks with a permitted maximum weight of more than 3.5 tons outside specially allocated and marked with signs and (or) markings places.

That is, the main and most frequent violation under this paragraph is truck parking and parking with a running engine. The latter is especially true in cold period for those who like to "warm up the engine", polluting the environment and disturbing the sleep of residents of adjacent houses.

It is worth paying attention to a few more important points regarding parking, which are relevant in the yards. Clause 1.2 of the SDA gives a definition of stopping and parking, which is very important because clause 17.2 speaks specifically about the parking of vehicles:

• “Stop” means the intentional cessation of the movement of a vehicle for up to 5 minutes, and also for more, if it is necessary for boarding or disembarking passengers or loading or unloading a vehicle.
  "Parking" - a deliberate stoppage of the movement of a vehicle for a period of more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the boarding or disembarkation of passengers or the loading or unloading of a vehicle.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation established additional parking bans, which also apply to courtyard areas. Usually the driveways here are narrow, and therefore parkers manage to interfere not only with the passage of other cars, but also with ordinary pedestrians and mothers with strollers, to say nothing of technical services. However, Part 8 of Art. 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses establishes a plumb line for violation of fire safety rules. That is, if the abandoned car interferes with the passage of firefighters, you can prepare to pay a fine.

○ Fines for illegal parking in the yard.

The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation also does not give a definition of a yard area, but establishes responsibility for violating traffic rules in a residential area in Art. 12.28 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation

• "one. Violation of the rules established for the movement of vehicles in residential areas, with the exception of the case provided for by part 2 of this article - entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand five hundred rubles. 2. The violation provided for by paragraph 1 of this article, committed in the federal city of Moscow or St. Petersburg - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of three thousand rubles.»

That is, if your car is found by a traffic police inspector parked in violation of the rules described above, you can prepare to pay a fine of 1000 rubles, and in capital cities and all 3000. Exactly the same will be punished for parking on the sidewalk in the yard, because often because of parked cars it is simply impossible to carry a baby stroller.

But this may not be the end of the matter. It must be admitted that the traffic police patrols the yards not so often, especially in small towns, but if something happened, the dangerous situation would be more serious. For example, in the event of a fire and impossibility of passage company car to a fire, a negligent motorist can apply Part 8 of Art. 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

• “Violation of fire safety requirements to ensure passages, driveways and entrances to buildings, structures and structures - entails the imposition of an administrative fine on citizens in the amount of from one thousand five hundred to two thousand rubles; on officials - from seven thousand to ten thousand rubles; on the legal entities- from one hundred twenty thousand to one hundred and fifty thousand rubles.

But this is possible only if the violation is fixed by the fire inspectorate, which will easily impose a fine of up to 2,000 rubles.

Yards are often equipped with green spaces, including lawns. SDA or the Code of Administrative Offenses do not contain a definition of a lawn or a fine for parking on it. These issues are decided by the local authorities, determining the amount of the fine for such violations. In most cities, this amount is fixed, so in St. Petersburg, an ordinary car owner will pay from 3000 to 5000 fine. In other regions, such as in Samara, they will be forced to pay for damage to the plantation. In any case, you should not do this.

Another aspect of the problem is through traffic through the residential area. Officially, it is prohibited by clause 17.2 of the SDA. But few of the drivers at least once did not try to bypass the traffic jam through the nearest yard. The rules prohibit only through passage, and the movement itself at a speed of 20 km per hour is allowed by clause 10.2 of the SDA:

• “In populated areas, vehicles are allowed to move at a speed of no more than 60 km/h, and in residential areas and in yard areas no more than 20 km/h.”

So you just need to get rid of the concept of "through". It is enough to stop for a few seconds and now, you are already a respectable driver who has not violated anything. But the stop, of course, must be done taking into account the described rules.

In the absence of the car owner in any of the above cases, the car can be evacuated, especially if it interferes with the passage or the work of cleaning or fire trucks, which means you will have to pay for the stay at the impound.

In addition, violators are often sure that if they were not caught by a traffic police officer, then they will certainly go unpunished, but Part 4 of Art. 28.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses:

• “The reasons for initiating a case on an administrative offense are:
  4. Fixation of an administrative offense in the field of traffic or an administrative offense in the field of landscaping, provided for by the law of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, committed using a vehicle or by the owner or other owner of a land plot or other real estate working in automatic mode special technical means that have the functions of photo and film shooting, video recording, or means of photo and film shooting, video recording.

Now there are even sites where you can upload photos and videos of evidence of violations.

That is why the threats of neighbors to complain about the car owner, who warms up the car for half an hour in the morning, are quite real.
