Action of the speed limit sign 40. Description of the maximum speed limit sign

On the roads are always installed various signs. Among them, the most common is "Speed ​​Limit". Although it seems elementary to most motorists, when they see it on the road, some "dummies" - drivers with little experience, have questions. What do you need to know about the speed limit sign?

This sign looks like this: on a circle white color value is indicated, and its outline is circled in red. The number indicated on the sign indicates the maximum permissible speed that can be developed in this place. This value cannot be exceeded.

When studying at a driving school, special attention is paid to this road sign. Sometimes even a couple of classes are assigned to it. But even so, some students manage to forget everything. It is for them that the information below is indicated.

The SDA states that the "Speed ​​Limit" is used to prohibit the movement of all vehicles of the above value. Its goal is to improve traffic safety. Therefore, you can see it both in the city and beyond.

If at one point on the road the speed limit differs from another by 20 or more km/h, then a stepped sign is mounted at that point. That is - in the amount of several pieces, on each of which the value becomes smaller. However, this is not necessary provided that its visibility is more than 150 m.

Although this road sign establishes a certain speed limit, it still does not require movement with just such an indicator on the speedometer. An analogy with the passage of a traffic light on a yellow signal is appropriate here. It is allowed to drive the car at the speed of the above value, but it must not be exceeded by more than 19 km/h.

Previously, this value was less. If it is more than 20 km / h or more, then this is already considered a violation. When passing cameras, you should not accelerate exactly to the maximum permissible rate, since some speedometers have an error of 2-3 km / h. The driver will think that he does not violate the speed limit, but in fact there will be an excess, albeit by a small value. There is already a fine for it.

When you see a sign with a restriction, you must slow down to the permitted speed. And you need to do this in advance, without resorting to emergency braking. A legitimate question arises - from what moment does it act and where does it end?

It begins to act directly from the place of its installation. With this, usually, there are no problems. Motorists see it in advance and have time to slow down.

"Speed ​​limit" has a limitation of action:

1. Crossroads. From the sign to the intersection, you must observe the speed limit, the value of which is indicated. Then you can speed up. In the city, the speed limit is up to 60 km/h. Without violations, it is allowed to accelerate up to 79 km / h. Anything above is already considered a violation and is punishable by a fine.
2. The beginning or end of a settlement. If after the sign after a few meters there is a sign “Beginning of the settlement” with the name of the city or village on a white background, then this is where the restriction ends.

In the city or village itself, you cannot accelerate more than 60 km / h, and sometimes you need to go even slower if there is another restriction. It is valid until the sign "End of settlement" on a white background, provided that there are no intersections. After that, you can again accelerate to 90 km / h, but not in the village, but outside it.

Sometimes the sign is placed together with the sign "Extension of the coverage area." Then he will act at a distance indicated in the plate. It does not matter if there is an intersection at this distance or not. Its presence does not matter. This issue is discussed in more detail below.

The sign can also be in areas where there are no intersections and settlements. How to keep the speed limit in such conditions? So "newbies" are most often confused.

The length of the distance where the sign is valid is indicated by a special plate. If there is a restriction, but there is no plate, then it will continue to operate until the sign "End of the speed limit zone". It looks the same as the sign discussed in this article, but with a strikethrough line.

Sometimes the indicated designation becomes invalid - after the "End of all restrictions". It is easy to recognize it - the white background is crossed out by a diagonal line. Although it implies the abolition of all signs, it is not so.

It only cancels:

• length of the minimum distance;
• overtaking ban;
• giving a sound signal;
• as well as parking and stopping at various places;
• and speed limit.

It can be located along with a sign indicating the distance. This indicates that the action of the tablet in this place is terminated.

The most common speed limit situations are:

1. The action "Speed ​​limit" when it is repeated in one section. Sometimes there are several road signs that limit the speed of cars. Usually the values ​​are listed in descending order. Such signs are often found in places repair work so that drivers have time to prepare for the approach of a dangerous object, and sometimes even stop completely.
2. Action before an intersection or settlement. If there are no information signs with the sign, then its validity will last until the nearest intersection, and also until the beginning or end of the settlement. The restriction loses its effect even after passing the road with, since this is also an intersection. But, here, exits from the highway into the yards or into the field are not intersections. They do not remove the effect of this road element. In yards and residential areas, you can accelerate no more than 20 km / h. Not all signs with the name of a city or village cancel the restriction. "Beginning of settlement" or "End of settlement" must be on a white background. The blue background only informs drivers that they have entered the settlement, but does not oblige them to drive more slowly. In other words, it means that the highway passes through this city or village.
3. The effect of the sign "Speed ​​Limit" on a yellow background. It is temporary and is usually installed at or before repair sites and is accompanied by a corresponding plate. Its essence is the same as that of the usual restriction. Usually, however, the yellow “Speed ​​Limit” sign must be observed until “”, after which you can accelerate again. As a rule, “Speed ​​Limits” are set so that drivers drive slowly in certain areas. Therefore, to avoid emergency situations, several such signs, similar to step ones, are installed at once.

There should be no cameras at the locations of the temporary “Speed ​​Limit” sign on a yellow background, as it is not here for a permanent period. If they are available and recorded a violation, then it can be appealed. However, an inspector in such a place can stand and shoot violations on the camera of a patrol car, and then write out protocols for them. It is not possible to appeal against his actions in such a situation.

Situations where the effect of the sign is not canceled

There are circumstances under which the "Speed ​​Limit" remains in effect and does not cancel its effect under the influence of other signs:

• pedestrian crossings - in addition to violation speed limit, they cannot be overtaken;
• tunnels, bridges and overpasses - artificial lighting in them is worse than daylight on open roads, so you can’t accelerate or slow down here without special need;
• smooth or sharp turn without exits - if there are no other ways to turn, then it is not considered an intersection and the speed limit will be in effect after it has been passed;
• « the main road» - the restriction remains only when there is no intersection on the way;
• traffic light - it does not cancel the sign only if it is located on a straight stretch of road.

These situations should be remembered and never confused in order to make your travel by car safer. This will help you avoid sometimes ridiculous fines.

Penalty for non-observance of the sign "Speed ​​Limit"

There is a fine for speeding. Constantly, after a certain period of time, it is increased to improve the safety of motorists. According to statistics, this has a positive effect on safety, because not every car owner is ready to pay a huge fine.

Now, some motorists, when they see a speed limiting sign, reduce it, since such a violation is recorded by cameras, and it is more difficult to deceive them than an inspector. In addition, sometimes portable cameras are not visible on the track, so they can be installed anywhere. Of course, you can install a radar detector in the car itself, but it is also powerless with some cameras, as they are often “reflashed” and updated.

So, the fines for non-observance of the "Speed ​​Limit" sign are as follows:

1. For exceeding the speed limit by 20 km / h, but not more than 40 km / h, a fine of -500 rubles is provided. If you pay it within 20 days after the violation, a 50% discount works.
2. If the speed is exceeded by 40-60 km/h, then the amount of the fine will be from 1000 to 1500 rubles. If paid on time, a discount will also be given. If such a violation repeats, then a fine of 2000-2500 rubles is provided, without deprivation of a driver's license.
3. When exceeding 60-80 km / h, the fine increases to 2000-2500 rubles. In some cases, perhaps, deprivation of rights by a court decision. In case of repeated violation, recorded by the camera, the driver will be fined for 5 thousand rubles. If the traffic police inspector stops the car owner with such a violation, then you will have to say goodbye to the rights for 1 year.

For some motorists, even such fines seem small, and they continue to violate the speed limit. This is done, most often because in order to be in time somewhere, to arrive earlier than others, because at present life in cities is very fast and almost all of its inhabitants are always in a hurry. However, traveling by car is the case when there is absolutely no need to rush. The few minutes saved are definitely not worth it.

According to traffic police statistics, very often accidents happen precisely because of non-compliance with the speed limit. Drivers are confident that they know how to control the car when fast driving, therefore, they violate this rule very grossly. However, do not forget that with this style of driving at any time, everything can get out of control. In addition, at high speed, the risk of serious injury increases significantly, and even a seat belt may not save. Sometimes such accidents end in the death of the driver and passengers.

What to do if the zone of action of the sign "Speed ​​Limit" ends further than the intersection

It happens that the "Speed ​​Limit" is located with a sign "Area", but the distance indicated in it is greater than the distance to the end of the intersection.

In fact, everything is simple. Under these circumstances, the speed limit lasts until the vehicle has traveled the distance indicated on the plate. In this case, the intersection must be passed with the same speed limit, not exceeding it by more than 19 km / h.

One of the most common traffic violations, which is recorded daily on the roads of our country, is considered to be speeding. It is also often the main cause of road traffic accidents, often accompanied by serious material damage and loss of life. The obvious consequences of such behavior of drivers who easily violate the speed limit are faced daily by all participants. traffic.

Despite the fact that the speed limit sign is not installed just like that, but only on potentially dangerous and difficult sections of roads, drivers are in no hurry to remove their foot from the gas pedal after crossing it. Moreover, many car owners have long forgotten that when driving in urban areas, the maximum speed is initially limited, and it is strictly forbidden to drive faster than 60 km / h. If road conditions require otherwise, it can be further reduced by installing appropriate signs that indicate the specific permitted value for a particular section.

Features of installing a sign Speed ​​​​limit

Like any other, the Maximum speed limit sign is not set on the road just like that. As a rule, he says that a difficult turn awaits the driver ahead, a significant narrowing of the roadway, difficult visibility in relation to oncoming traffic, etc. In addition, the Speed ​​​​limit sign is often located near kindergartens, schools, and in this In this case, the speed dropped by the driver in time can save the life of a child who suddenly jumped onto the road in the wrong place.

Any difficulties on the part of the driver when interpreting this sign are simply unthinkable - the sign is extremely clear, and even people who do not have rights understand its meaning very well. On a white background, equipped with a red border, the value of the maximum permissible speed, which is allowed on this section of the road, is indicated. If the speed limit sign is located on a yellow background, this indicates its temporary purpose, but at the same time, if it contradicts the signs established on a permanent basis, it is necessary to be guided by the temporary indicator when moving further.

Installation of a road sign The speed limit on motorways located outside the city limits also has a number of features. Since the maximum allowed speed of a vehicle on such roads is from 70 to 90 km/h, it is unlikely that it will be possible to abruptly reset it, for example, to 40 km/h - this can create an emergency situation. Therefore, if it is necessary to comply with a stricter speed limit in certain sections, the restriction sign is not set immediately with the maximum value, but with its gradual decrease - 70-50-30, and with an interval of up to 150 meters. This gives drivers time to slow down gradually, avoiding hard braking.

How long does it take to comply with the speed limit

After crossing the established sign with the designated restriction, a number of car owners find it difficult to determine the area where this restriction can no longer be observed. Finding a place where you can increase the current speed of the car is not so difficult.

1. The most obvious sign that indicates the ability to press the gas pedal is the sign End of the zone of all restrictions. In cities, these are quite rare.
2. In the conditions of the city, you can often see the sign 3.25, which removes a certain previously indicated restriction. Immediately after crossing it, the speed can be increased to the "urban" value.
3. If a sign indicating the specific distance at which the restriction is in force is located under the indicator limiting the maximum speed, immediately after passing this segment, it can be increased. The distance is easy to determine from the odometer readings - the main thing is to fix its readings at the moment of crossing the speed limit sign. But do not rush to accelerate, because it is better to drive an extra hundred meters a little slower than to get a fine for exceeding.
4. The previous restriction is removed if there is another sign on the road with a different value of the permissible speed.
5. The action of the indicator, which limits the maximum permissible speed, automatically ends if there is an intersection in the path of the car. After crossing it, the maximum speed limit sign is not mandatory, and if the speed limit after crossing the roads still has its own characteristics, another sign must be installed.
6. The restriction is removed when leaving the city where such a sign was installed. However, this only works if there is a corresponding sign on the road, namely “End of settlement”. If it is absent, the restriction may extend its effect to several tens of kilometers, until the driver meets a sign with other requirements.

It is worth noting that at the entrance to a city or village, the zone of validity of the speed limit sign, which is located in front of it, does not lose its relevance, and the requirements for observing the speed limit remain valid.

Responsibility for exceeding

Since the speed limit road sign is never set just like that, but only in dangerous areas, or where movement Vehicle can lead to human casualties at high speed, the punishment for ignoring its requirements is quite severe. This is due to the serious consequences of violating the speed limit, which can be encountered almost daily on our roads. Therefore, the punishment for such a violation is tangible - it is quite possible to receive not only an impressive fine, but also lose the right to drive a vehicle for a period of one year.

The final amount of the fine this species violations can vary, and depends on a number of points, for example:

• the specific location of the road where the offense was committed, as well as its category;
• type and characteristics of the vehicle violating the speed limit;
• type of tasks performed by the vehicle - transportation of hazardous substances, people, towing.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that the maximum speed value is prescribed in the traffic rules, for various kinds highways can be increased by regions independently. In this case, appropriate signs are installed. About such a measure in one of the regions is described in the video.

The areas of validity of signs in the SDA for 2019 are regulated either by the SDA Annex of the same name - road signs and markings, or by GOST R 52289-2004. In our case, the effect of a speed limit sign can be determined by the presence of an intersection, a plate of the length of the limit, as well as signs that remove such a limit, or the beginning or end of a settlement. But let's talk about everything in order!

What is the scope of the speed limit sign?

Sign 3.24 "Speed ​​limit"

The "Speed ​​Limit" sign is installed on dangerous sections of roads near sharp turns or concentrations of traffic accidents, where it is dangerous to drive at the initially allowed speed. In addition, sometimes a sign is installed where it is allowed to drive with more than required by the conditions of the city, highway or highway. For example, if there is a speed limit sign in the city of 80 km / h, then you can drive exactly up to 80 kilometers per hour, and not up to 60, as required by traffic rules in the city.

Also, according to GOST for 2019? You can not limit the speed of such signs by more than 20 km / h. That is, if you are driving along a highway where it is allowed to drive 90 km / h, and along the way you meet a “Speed ​​​​limit” sign with the number 60, then such a sign was installed illegally - if you want to limit the speed to 60 kilometers per hour, then you must first stand speed limit sign up to 70 or 80, and only then, after 100-150 meters, sign 60 (paragraph 5.4.22 of GOST).

Also, like any other prohibition signs, the speed limit sign is not infinite, even if there is no corresponding sign for the end of the limit. The priority of the conditions of the sign here is similar to the sign "No stopping", and let's look at all the conditions for restricting areas of action.

The effect of the sign "Maximum speed limit" with a plate of the area of ​​\u200b\u200baction

Everything is simple here: immediately under the sign 3.24, a sign 8.2.1 is hung on the same column (see the figure below), the number on which indicates the coverage area from the sign to the lifting of the restriction. If, for example, the sign indicates 40, and the plate indicates 150 m, then this means that we must drive the next 150 meters at a speed of no more than 40 kilometers per hour.

By the way, it is 40, not 60 and not 59 km / h - there is a violation, but there is a punishment for this violation. It is forbidden to drive at a speed above 40 - this is a violation, just no punishment is provided if the excess is less than 20 km / h. But in case of an accident, for example, such an excess can be taken into account not in your favor.

Action of speed limit until signs of the end of the restricted area

If the sign is applied without a plate with a speed limit zone, then after such a sign there may be a sign "End of the speed limit zone" with a crossed-out speed value already on a white background (and not on white with a red frame, like a prohibition sign). Then the prohibition of the speed limit sign after the end of the limit no longer applies, and we can drive at the maximum speed allowed for this section of the road (city or other settlement - 60 km / h, highway - 90 km / h, motorway - 110 km / h) . The same prohibition of maximum speed is removed by the sign "End of all restrictions" - an empty sign with diagonal strikethroughs on a white background.

In addition, signs of the end of the zone of validity of prohibition signs of traffic rules can stand, including if the prohibition sign itself stood with a sign of the zone of action. And this is logical, isn’t it, because we don’t have to measure the distance indicated on the plate with a tape measure ?!

The effect of the sign "Speed ​​Limit" to a new one of the same sign

If sign 3.24 is followed by a new sign with a different restriction value, then the previous restriction does not apply, which is quite logical. The situation looks less logical when a new limit sign sets a larger value of such a limit. For example, there was a sign "60" and after it there was a sign "80". Then the new constraint also applies, and the previous one is lifted.

The effect of the sign "Speed ​​​​limit" to the intersection or settlement

If there are no signs under the speed limit sign and if there are no signs for the end of the speed ban or the removal of all prohibition signs, then the speed limit prescribed by sign 3.24 is valid either to the nearest intersection, or to the sign "Settlement" or "End of settlement". Whatever you see along the way will cancel the effect of this prohibition sign. Moreover, the intersection with roundabout- This is also a full-fledged crossroads.

At the same time, remember that not all intersections mean the end of the zone of validity of the "Speed ​​Limit" sign. different kind secondary exits or junctions of dirt roads to forest areas, exits to fields and other secondary roads not marked with a road junction warning sign (warning signs are installed 50-100 meters in settlements and 150-300 meters - on highways), that is, one from these characters:

Remember also that exits from adjacent territories are not crossroads according to the interpretation of traffic rules and therefore do not cancel the operation of the "Speed ​​​​limit" sign.

As for the end or, respectively, the beginning of the settlement, this is not just a visible beginning or end, respectively, but their designation with one of the following information signs:

Also keep in mind that the "Residential Zone" sign overrides the restriction. In general, a residential area rarely just starts from the road, but most likely you move off the road to another, and the new one has its own rules. But even if you find yourself in a rare exception, when a road with a restriction has moved into a residential area, then remember that the traffic rules of 2019 prescribe a maximum speed in a residential area of ​​20 kilometers per hour.

What is the area of ​​validity of the temporary sign "Speed ​​Limit"?

Temporary speed limit signs are usually placed during road repairs or construction of structures near this road and in other cases of temporary concentration of a dense flow of cars on a road section. The temporary prohibition sign, unlike the permanent one, is made on a yellow background instead of white.

Temporary sign 3.24 "Speed ​​limit"

The end of the area of ​​effect of a temporary sign "Speed ​​​​limit" according to the Rules of the Road is no different from similar areas of effect of a permanent restriction - it can be canceled by the nearest intersection, the end / beginning of a settlement, the sign of the end of the speed limit or all restrictions, or by the propagation distance, if set with corresponding plate.

In practice, for 2019, temporary signs are most often canceled with the “End of all restrictions” sign, because a significant reduction in speed is also required with temporary signs, which means that several such signs have been installed that gradually limit the speed lower and lower.

Also keep in mind that automatic photo and video recording of speeding is not allowed in areas where temporary signs are installed. Simply put, speed violators cannot be caught on auto-fixation cameras if such speed is limited by a temporary sign. But the inspector with a camera in his hand, which simply records the speed of the car for subsequent proof of the excess, maybe if there was such a punishable excess.

What does not cancel the zone of action of the sign "Speed ​​Limit"?

So, above we examined which road signs and intersections cancel the distribution of sign 3.24. Now, so that you are definitely not mistaken, we present that not cancels the speed limit:

• tunnels, bridges, overpasses;
• if the road turns without the formation of intersections (even if it turns in the opposite direction);
• the sign "Main road", if it is not installed in front of the intersection (according to GOST, this sign can be installed simply on a section of the road, prohibiting stopping according to traffic rules);
• traffic lights, if they are not installed at the intersection, but, for example, for pedestrians.

If the area of ​​the speed limit sign on the plate is greater than the distance to the intersection

If suddenly it turned out that on the plate under the sign "Speed ​​​​limit" flaunts "2 km", but after one kilometer you find an intersection or the end / beginning of the settlement, then know that the latter cancel the prohibition sign to move at a speed higher than indicated on the sign. That is, the intersection or the beginning / end of the settlement in this case have priority over the sign. This is all because in this case such an organization of the operation of signs contradicts GOST and means that the road builders incorrectly placed the sign. And GOST clearly states that the distance of action on the plate cannot be more than the distance to the intersection or the nearest settlement or its end.

What are the penalties for violating the "Maximum Speed ​​Limit" sign?

There is no difference from whether you exceeded the speed indicated on the sign or simply set on a given section of the road (for example, in a city of 60 km / h), there is no. Penalties for exceeding rely on the very fact of exceeding. In the table below you can see all the possible penalties for violating the speed limit ban for 2019.

Various penalties depending on the magnitude of the excess and the repetition of the violation.

FINE

WHAT IS SPEEDING?

rubles, if he was caught by a traffic police inspector, or only get a fine of 5,000 rubles if the excess was recorded by an auto-fixation camera. Is there a discount for speeding tickets? 50% discount applies to fines for minor speeding. And it does not apply if you have exceeded again or by more than 60 km / h (if in the decision on the imposition of a fine you have indicated part 6 or 7 of Article 12.9 as imputed to you). Take a closer look, the resolution always indicates the sane article and its part. If the discount is in effect, then the half-price penalty can be paid within 20 days after the date of the decision (not to be confused with the date the order was served or received by mail).

This road sign prohibits the movement of any vehicles within its coverage area with a value exceeding that indicated on the sign. In my example in the picture, the sign prohibits driving faster than 50 km/h.

Why can you drive 20 km/h faster?

The thing is that the article was removed from the Code of Administrative Offenses, which was responsible for the punishment when the driver exceeds the speed limit by more than 10 km / h. Now the punishment begins only if you exceeded the speed limit by 21 km/h or more (below detailed analysis fines). So it turns out that moving at 19 km / h per hour faster than allowed, the driver simply cannot be punished. However, remember that driving at a speed greater than indicated on the sign is still a violation of traffic rules. If, for example, in the yard you accelerate to 39 km / h instead of 20 permitted, then this can already pose a real threat to pedestrians, in particular.

Until where the sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" applies

For the sign 3.24, as well as a number of other prohibitory signs, there are several ways to determine the end of its area of ​​their action. Sign 3.24 extends its effect:

to the nearest intersection. Classic variant. However, it is worth remembering that exits from adjacent territories are not considered intersections. The traffic rules also make a special reservation that at the intersections with forest, field and similar roads, the sign DOES NOT LOSE its strength if such intersections are not marked with appropriate signs. be careful

to the end of the village, if in such a settlement after the sign you have not met a single intersection. In addition, even in the absence of a sign, the speed of movement in the city and outside the city is different;

before the beginning of the village, marked with appropriate signs;

up to the canceling mark 3.25(on the image);

at a distance, indicated in special plates "Area of ​​action";

to the same sign with another limitation. That is, we met a sign with a maximum speed limit of 70 km/h, drove a little and we meet this sign again, but it already has a limit of 50 km/h. You can now forget about the first limitation. This arrangement of signs is used quite often.

Punishment for speeding

Let's see what penalties are, what size the fines are, and under what conditions a driver who has exceeded the permitted maximum speed can "get it":

Over speed
from 0 to 20 km/h
from 21 to 40 km/h	Fine 500 rubles
from 41 to 60 km/h	Fine from 1000 to 1500 rubles Repeat violation: fine from 2000 to 2500 rubles
from 61 to 80 km/h	Fine from 2000 to 2500 rubles, or deprivation of the VU for a period of 4-6 months Repeat violation:
from 81 km/h and more	Fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of the VU for 6 months Repeat violation: deprivation of the VU for 1 year (if recorded by an automatic camera, then a fine of 5,000 rubles)

The speed limit sign is valid until the nearest intersection, unless there are other signs regulating the speed. At the same time, after the cancellation of the speed limit sign, we do not forget about the value of the maximum speeds in the city, village and on the highway.

The maximum speed limit sign is sign 3.24.

Quote from the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, Appendix 1:

Thus, the effect of sign 3.24 extends from the place where the sign was installed, forward in the direction of travel, to one of these places:

1) if there is an intersection - to the nearest intersection. True, if there is an intersection without priority signs with a field, forest or secondary road, then in such places the effect of the sign 3.24 does not stop. But note that the road must be either field, or forest, or secondary.

2) in a populated area in the absence of an intersection - up to road sign 5.24.1 or 5.24.2;

3) outside the settlement in the absence of an intersection - to the road sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2.

And finally, if there is sign 3.25 “End of the maximum speed limit zone” on the road, or sign 3.31 “End of the zone of all restrictions”, or sign 3.24 with a different value of the maximum allowed speed - sign 3.24 will be valid until one of these three signs.

The maximum speed limit prohibition sign may be valid until the next speed limit cancellation road sign, or until the next prohibition sign with a different numerical speed indication, for example, it was 70, then 50 or 40. In the absence of all cancellation signs, the speed limit prohibition sign is valid until designated intersection, and in the settlement without marked intersections - to the end of the village.

The mandatory minimum speed limit sign (on a blue background) is also valid until next character cancel "End of minimum speed limit zone". Is there some more common sign“End of the zone of all restrictions”, it can also refer to the cancellation of the speed limit sign.

SDA: Prohibition road sign 3.24 Maximum speed limit in the Rules of the road

SDA P1 3.24, 3.25

Prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit imposes a prohibition on driving at a speed in km/h exceeding that indicated on the sign.

Scope of the prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in built-up areas, if there is no intersection, it extends to the end of the built-up area. The action of the sign is not interrupted at the places of exit from the territories adjacent to the road and at the places of intersection or junction with field, forest and other secondary roads, in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed.

The effect of the prohibition road sign 3.24 The maximum speed limit set before locality, indicated by road sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2, extends up to this sign.

Road signs 5.23.1 and 5.23.2 The beginning of the settlement from Appendix 1 to the SDA to which the speed limit sign is valid

For prohibition road sign 3.24 the zone of action of the sign can be reduced by installing at the end of the zone of its action a road sign 3.25 End of the maximum speed limit zone or by using plate 8.2.1.

The coverage area of ​​road sign 3.24 can be reduced by placing a prohibition road sign 3.24 Maximum speed limit with a different maximum speed.

Speed ​​limit sign - sign coverage area

One of the most common traffic violations, which is recorded daily on the roads of our country, is considered to be speeding. It is also often the main cause of road traffic accidents, often accompanied by serious material damage and loss of life. The visible consequences of such behavior of drivers who easily violate the speed limit are faced daily by all road users.

Despite the fact that the speed limit sign is not installed just like that, but only on potentially dangerous and difficult sections of roads, drivers are in no hurry to remove their foot from the gas pedal after crossing it. Moreover, many car owners have long forgotten that when driving in urban areas, the maximum speed is initially limited, and it is strictly forbidden to drive faster than 60 km / h. If road conditions require otherwise, then it can be further reduced by installing appropriate signs that indicate the specific permitted value for a particular section.

Features of installing a sign Speed ​​​​limit

Like any other, the Maximum speed limit sign is not set on the road just like that. As a rule, he says that a difficult turn awaits the driver ahead, a significant narrowing of the roadway, difficult visibility in relation to oncoming traffic, etc. In addition, the Speed ​​​​limit sign is often located near child care facilities - kindergartens, schools, and in this In this case, the speed dropped by the driver in time can save the life of a child who suddenly jumped onto the road in the wrong place.

Any difficulties on the part of the driver when interpreting this sign are simply unthinkable - the sign is extremely clear, and even people who do not have rights understand its meaning very well. On a white background, equipped with a red border, the value of the maximum permissible speed, which is allowed on this section of the road, is indicated. If the speed limit sign is located on a yellow background, this indicates its temporary purpose, but at the same time, if it contradicts the signs established on a permanent basis, it is necessary to be guided by the temporary indicator when moving further.

How long does it take to comply with the speed limit

After crossing the established sign with the designated restriction, a number of car owners find it difficult to determine the area where this restriction can no longer be observed. Finding a place where you can increase the current speed of the car is not so difficult.

1. The most obvious sign that indicates the ability to press the gas pedal is the sign End of the zone of all restrictions. In cities, these are quite rare.
2. In the conditions of the city, you can often see the sign 3.25, which removes a certain previously indicated restriction. Immediately after crossing it, the speed can be increased to the "urban" value.
3. If a sign indicating the specific distance at which the restriction is in force is located under the indicator limiting the maximum speed, immediately after passing this segment, it can be increased. The distance is easy to determine from the odometer readings - the main thing is to fix its readings at the moment of crossing the speed limit sign. But do not rush to accelerate, because it is better to drive an extra hundred meters a little slower than to get a fine for exceeding.
4. The previous restriction is removed if there is another sign on the road with a different value of the permissible speed.
5. The action of the indicator, which limits the maximum permissible speed, automatically ends if there is an intersection in the path of the car. After crossing it, the maximum speed limit sign is not mandatory, and if the speed limit after crossing the roads still has its own characteristics, another sign must be installed.
6. The restriction is removed when leaving the city where such a sign was installed. However, this only works if there is a corresponding sign on the road, namely “End of settlement”. If it is absent, the restriction may extend its effect to several tens of kilometers, until the driver meets a sign with other requirements.

It is worth noting that at the entrance to a city or village, the zone of validity of the speed limit sign, which is located in front of it, does not lose its relevance, and the requirements for observing the speed limit remain valid.

Responsibility for exceeding

Since the speed limit road sign is never set just like that, but only in dangerous areas, or where the movement of vehicles at high speed can lead to human casualties, the punishment for ignoring its requirements is quite severe. This is due to the serious consequences of violating the speed limit, which can be encountered almost daily on our roads. Therefore, the punishment for such a violation is tangible - it is quite possible to receive not only an impressive fine, but also lose the right to drive a vehicle for a period of one year.

The final amount of the fine for this type of violation may vary, and depends on a number of points, for example:

• the specific location of the road where the offense was committed, as well as its category;
• type and characteristics of the vehicle violating the speed limit;
• type of tasks performed by the vehicle - transportation of hazardous substances, people, towing.

It is worth noting that despite the fact that the maximum speed is prescribed in the traffic rules, for various types of roads it can be increased by the regions independently. In this case, appropriate signs are installed. About such a measure in one of the regions is described in the video:

Questions of traffic rules by sign Maximum speed limit

Which of the following signs apply only to the period of time when the road surface is wet?

Only a combination of signs "A" - 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" with a sign 8.16 "Wet surface", indicating that the sign applies to the period when the road surface is wet - is the correct answer. Sign "B" - 1.18 "Emission of gravel" - warns of a section of the road where gravel, crushed stone and the like can be ejected from under the wheels of vehicles. Sign "B" - 1.15 "Slippery road" - warns of a road section with increased slipperiness of the roadway. The reason for this may be snowfall, icing, bitumen spill during production road works etc. (“Road signs”).

This road sign:

• Recommends driving at a speed of 40 km/h
• Requires driving at a speed of at least 40 km/h
• Prohibits driving at speeds over 40 km/h

Sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" is a common sign on our roads. ("Road signs"). It is forbidden to drive at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign. For exceeding the speed limit over +20 km / h, a punishment follows - a fine; over +60 km/h - a fine or deprivation of rights.
Action area:
1 - From the installation site to the nearest intersection, and in the settlement in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the n.p.
2- The coverage area may be limited by plate 8.2.1
"Zone of action".
3 - Up to the same sign with a different speed value.
4 - Before the sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2 "Beginning of the settlement" with a white background.
5 - Up to sign 3.25 "End of speed limit zone".
6 - Up to sign 3.31 "End of the zone of all restrictions." ("Road signs").

The requirements of which signs come into force directly in the place where they are installed?

The action of the prohibition sign 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" extends from the installation site to the nearest intersection, and in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the settlement ("B"). The coverage area may be limited, for example, by the plate 8.2.1 “Action area” (“A”). The sign is valid 100m from its place of installation. Plate 8.1.1 under the sign ("B") "Distance to the object" indicates the distance from the sign to the place where it begins to operate. ("Road signs").

Which signs apply only to the nearest intersection in the direction of travel?

The effect of signs: B - 3.24 "Maximum speed limit" and D - 3.28 "Parking is prohibited" extends to the nearest intersection behind it, and in built-up areas in the absence of an intersection - to the end of the built-up area. The effect of the signs: A - 5.31 "Zone with a maximum speed limit" and B - "Zone with a restriction on parking" is canceled by signs corresponding only to them 5.32 "End of a zone with a maximum speed limit" and 5.28 "End of a zone with a restriction on parking" ("Road signs ").

3.24 Maximum speed limit

It is forbidden to drive at a speed (km/h) exceeding that indicated on the sign. The coverage area of ​​the signs extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection behind it, and in populated areas, if there is no intersection, to the end of the populated area. The action of the signs is not interrupted at the places of exit from the territories adjacent to the road and at the places of intersection (adjacency) with field, forest and other secondary roads, in front of which the corresponding signs are not installed. The effect of the sign 3.24, installed in front of the settlement, indicated by the sign 5.23.1 or 5.23.2, extends to this sign. The zone of action of signs can be reduced by placing sign 3.25 (End of the maximum speed limit zone) at the end of their zone of action or by using plate 8.2.1. Sign 3.24 coverage area can be reduced by placing sign 3.24 with a different maximum speed
