President of the Russian Federation B. Yeltsin

Moscow Kremlin

Ensuring road safety should be regulated by law. There are a number of bills and resolutions that fix the basic norms for safe movement on the roads. It is worth highlighting one of the most important regulations - FZ 196. It is this law that determines the legal basis for ensuring road safety throughout the Russian territory.

The main directions of the law

The tasks of Federal Law 196 are to protect the health, life, property of citizens, their rights and freedoms. High-quality protection of the interests of the state and society through the prevention and prevention of traffic accidents is a priority goal of the submitted bill.

On what principles and conditions does 196-FZ "On Road Safety" operate? It is worth highlighting the following points:

observance of the interests of citizens, the state and society in ensuring road safety;
the priority of the health and life of citizens participating in road traffic over the results of economic and economic activity;
implementation of a program-targeted approach to the implementation functions safe movement on the roads;
the priority of state responsibility for the implementation of safe traffic over the civil responsibility of those participating in road traffic.

How does the state ensure road safety? This will be discussed further.

Ensuring road safety

Article 5 of Federal Law 196 states that ensuring road safety is possible only through high-quality work in the following areas:

establishing the responsibility and powers of the federal executive body authorities of Russia, regional executive authorities, as well as local authorities;
high-quality coordination of the activities of all the above bodies, as well as individuals and legal entities and public associations;
regulation of activities in transport of any type and in the road sector;
development and approval, in accordance with the procedure established by law, of normative acts relating to road safety;
implementation of the provision of vehicles - materially and financially;
implementation and implementation of medical measures in the field of road traffic;
implementation of a quality policy in the field of transport insurance, etc.

Federal Law 196, therefore, states the need to work in a variety of directions and areas.

Powers of state bodies

Under the jurisdiction of Russia, in accordance with Article 6 of the draft law under consideration, are the following functions:

consolidation of the legal framework for ensuring road safety;
formation and implementation of a unified policy in the field of road safety in Russia;
strict control over the compliance of regional bills with the Constitution and federal laws;
creation of federal executive bodies that ensure the implementation of state policy, etc.

The law establishes the rights of executive authorities.

In short, the federal authorities can act together with the regional ones, but in strict accordance with a special agreement. Both groups of state institutions should be engaged in the qualitative implementation of the norms prescribed in the law under consideration.

Law on the design, construction, maintenance and repair of the roadway

196-FZ "On Road Safety" states the need to comply with certain requirements regarding work with the roadway. All requirements are spelled out in articles 11-12.

Article 11 states that the design and construction of the roadway is the basis for safe traffic. Must be strictly observed technical regulations, engineering projects and other regulations relating to the construction of roads.

Responsibility for the compliance of the constructed roads with the requirements established by law lies with the project contractor during the design phases and with the contractors during the construction phases. The law also states that it is inadmissible to reduce capital costs through engineering-type solutions.

Traffic safety on the roads during the operation of vehicles

Article 16 of Federal Law No. 196-FZ "On Road Safety" establishes the need to periodically check Technical equipment and the condition of the vehicles taking part in the traffic. A similar obligation is assigned, respectively, to the owners of vehicles themselves, as well as to the persons who operate these vehicles.

Another topic of article 16 concerns compulsory insurance of civil liability. Vehicle owners who do not wish to fulfill this obligation will not be able to register their vehicles. Compulsory insurance can be carried out only after a technical inspection, which is regulated by Federal Law No. 170-FZ.

Organization of road safety

Article 21 of the Federal Law 196, as amended in 2014, regulates a number of measures related to the organization of traffic. This includes the creation and quality assurance of the functioning of parking spaces located within the boundaries settlements, the implementation of traffic capacity on the roads, the overall improvement of the quality of the roadway and much more. The execution and implementation of all the presented measures should concern the state executive body at the federal body (Government), state executive authorities at the regional level, as well as local governments. All of the above activities must be carried out in strict accordance with state regulations and regional regulations.

Article 22 of the law states that it is inadmissible to change the capacity on the roads by reducing the level of road safety. However, the same article refers to a possible change in the movement of vehicles in cases of a real threat. The change can only be carried out by authorized persons of the relevant state bodies.

On the rights and obligations of road users

The organization of road safety will not work without ordinary citizens fulfilling certain duties and rules prescribed in Article 24 of the Federal Law under consideration. What are these rules? The federal law refers to a special government decree called the Rules of the Road. It is in this normative act that all the rules that all Russian citizens without exception should know, remember and observe are fixed.

What rights do road users have? Article 24 of the Federal Law under consideration establishes the following:

free and unhindered movement on the roads in accordance with the rules established by law;
obtaining reliable information about safe road conditions from executive authorities and officials;
obtaining information from the relevant officials on the reasons and conditions for establishing a restriction or prohibition of traffic;
obtaining complete and reliable information about the quality of services and products, one way or another related to traffic;
the right to free medical care;
the right to compensation for damage in strict accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

The law also speaks of liability. Thus, according to article 31 of the normative act, liability for violation of the established rules is regulated by the Criminal Code and the Code of Administrative Offenses.

About state supervision

What are the means of ensuring road safety? In accordance with Article 30, this is primarily state supervision. It is carried out by special authorities in the field of traffic safety on the roads. The subject of supervision is the compliance by citizens of Russia with a number of requirements prescribed in the relevant regulations.

The law tells about the procedure for conducting scheduled and unscheduled inspections, about the grounds for including inspections in a special annual plan, etc.
