Location of the oversized cargo sign on the car. Permissible vehicle dimensions

Any of our vehicles from time to time transports not only passengers, but also cargo. At the same time, it is good if the goods are placed in the body or trunk, and sometimes it is necessary to transport bulky cargo. And just then the question arises, how to transport the cargo, while not “running into” a fine. And if there is a penalty, what would it be? We will talk about this.

Rules for the carriage of goods (speakers)

Before “diving” into the depths of all kinds of rules and laws, let’s say right away that we will be interested in cases related to the transportation of goods up to certain sizes, that is, we will not touch on the topic of transportation of oversized cargo. What shall we start.
The first thing to address is the traffic rules. There are 2 points worth quoting here:

23.4. Cargo protruding beyond the dimensions vehicle in front of or behind more than 1 m or to the side more than 0.4 m from the outer edge of the side light, must be marked identification marks"Oversized cargo", and in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility, in addition, in front of a lamp or retroreflector white color, behind - a lantern or a red reflector.

Here's a picture to the place. If the cargo is up to and including the specified dimensions, then the sign is not needed.

Here we can also say that if you violated the rules for transporting exactly non-oversized cargo, that is, up to these limits, then the fine will be minimal or even a warning. (Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). This applies to cases:

(requirements from the same traffic rules).

If the dimensions "crawled out" beyond these limits, then we hang a sign, or rather the sign "Oversized cargo". Does this mean that protruding beyond more than 1 meter back and forth, relative to the dimensions and more than 0.4 m on the sides, relative to the marker light, the vehicle will be large-sized?
Well, let's turn to 257 FZ, find a definition for a large vehicle.

oversized vehicle - a vehicle, the dimensions of which, with or without cargo, exceed the allowable dimensions established by the Government of the Russian Federation

If at least one of the dimensions motor vehicle together with the cargo exceeds the established value according to the traffic rules, the cargo is considered bulky

At the same time, bulky cargo of certain sizes must be transported according to the rules, in accordance with clause 23.5 of the SDA. Let's quote this point.

23.5. Transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, the movement of a vehicle, the overall parameters of which, with or without cargo, exceed 2.55 m in width (2.6 m - for refrigerators and isothermal bodies), 4 m in height from the surface of the carriageway, in length ( including one trailer) 20 m, or the movement of a vehicle with a load protruding beyond the rear point of the vehicle's clearance by more than 2 m, as well as the movement of road trains with two or more trailers are carried out in accordance with special rules. International road transport is carried out in accordance with the requirements for vehicles and the rules of transportation established by international treaties Russian Federation.

Please note that we are left with more than one size when the overhang of the cargo from behind is more than 1 meter, but up to 2 meters. In this case, cargo with this size is not required to be transported according to the rules, but it is necessary to attach the sign "Oversized cargo" to it.

Actually, we can already draw some conclusions.
If the dimensions do not exceed 2.55 m in width, 20 m in length, 4 m from the road in height and 2 meters behind, then even if it is a bulky cargo, it is transported without special rules, that is, only according to traffic rules.
If the dimensions are more than that, then here, according to the federal law of the Russian Federation of November 8, 2007 No. 257-FZ “On highways and road activities in the Russian Federation and on amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation”, road users are prohibited from carrying out transportation by highways oversized cargo without special permits.
We will not talk about these permits, that is, as we said right at the beginning of our article, we only cover cases for ordinary motorists, and not for professional carriers. Let's talk better about the fine if your cargo exceeds the limits indicated in the last picture.

Penalty for the carriage of a protruding cargo (Articles 12.21 and 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)

Here you get three options with what the fine for the cargo can be. The first, when the requirements of traffic rules for the carriage of goods are violated:

Does not restrict the driver's view;
- does not complicate management and does not violate the stability of the vehicle;
- does not cover external lighting devices and retroreflectors, registration and identification marks, and also does not interfere with the perception of hand signals;
- does not create noise, does not produce dust, does not pollute the road and environment.

The second is when it is necessary to install the “Oversized cargo” sign, if the cargo protrudes beyond the clearance at the back by more than 1 meter, but not more than 2 meters. If this sign is not installed, then ... For these two options, a fine will be issued under Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, as well as the rules for towing - entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of 500 rubles.

However, the third option, when the cargo is bulky, and besides, it requires a special permit, that is, it stands out for the dimensions. This will already be a fine under Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

If the dimensions are exceeded by no more than 10 cm (without a issued permit available) - 1000-1500 rubles (individual) (part 1);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 10-20 cm (without a issued permit available) - 3000-4000 rubles (individual) (part 2);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 20-50 cm (without a issued permit available) - 5000-10000 rubles (individual) (part 3);
- in case of exceeding the size of more than 50 cm (without a issued permit available or with it) - 7000-10000 rubles (individual) or deprivation from 4 to 6 months (part 6).

Actually, it is clear that the worst thing is if the load protrudes more than 50 cm. In this case, a very large fine or deprivation of a special right for up to six months.

Detention of the vehicle during the transportation of the protruding cargo

It is noteworthy that for a violation in accordance with Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, that is, for our third case, detention may be applied. This possibility is spelled out in article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. At the same time, if your car cannot be loaded onto a tow truck, then blocking devices can simply be installed. We read 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

... If, due to the technical characteristics of the vehicle, it is impossible to move it and place it in a specialized parking lot in the event of an administrative offense provided for by part 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 of article 12.21.1 or part 1 of article 12.21.2 of this Code, the detention is carried out by stopping the movement with the help of blocking devices.

As a result, you will stand there until you eliminate the reasons that led to the detention.

Is it possible to pay a penalty for a protruding load with a 50 percent discount?

If you still failed to avoid a fine, then do not forget about Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Thanks to her, respectable motorists have the opportunity to pay a fine with a 50 percent discount. This article allows you to get a kind of "discount" if the fine is paid on time from the moment the traffic police fines appear in the database, but no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.

Question-answer on the topic "Penalty for protruding cargo"

Question: With what protrusion of the load beyond the clearance and clearance lights can you drive “painlessly”, without installing signs?
Answer: Forward and backward no more than 1 meter relative to the clearance, up to 4 meters and on the sides no more than 0.4 meters relative to the side marker light.

Question: Up to what size can you carry a protruding load from the rear without a special permit?
Answer: Up to 2 meters, while from the protrusion of the cargo from 1 meter to 2, it will be necessary to hang the sign "Oversized cargo".

Freight transport is the most important factor economic development. They have no alternative in the agricultural complex, retail, serving small businesses. A truck is also indispensable for the transportation of non-standard goods, the movement of which cannot be carried out by other modes of transport.

These operations are sometimes difficult and costly and create difficult traffic conditions. The requirements for the size of oversized cargo according to the SDA in 2019 regulate just such transportation.

The legislative framework

In the rules traffic Chapter 23 is devoted to freight transportation. Only the basic requirements are given there, the information is presented rather concisely, in five small paragraphs. More detailed and detailed information about the transportation of large and heavy items is stated in Article 31 of 257-FZ dated November 08, 2007.

This document delegates part of the authority to allow non-standard transportation to federal authorities and local governments in relation to roads under their jurisdiction.

On the basis of this federal law, the PP dated April 15, 2011 No. 272 approved the rules for road freight transport. The issuance of permits for the transportation of heavy or oversized cargo is regulated by the Order of the Ministry of Transport dated July 24, 2012. No. 258.

Back in 1957, an agreement between European countries on the transport of dangerous goods was concluded in Geneva. The main requirements for the transportation process are set out in Annexes A and B, which are an integral part of the document.

These applications are modified and supplemented throughout years taking into account real conditions. Russia joined the agreement in 1994 (Government Decree No. 76 of February 3, 1994).

What is considered oversized cargo

The classification of cargo to be transported as oversized is determined by two parameters:

the size.

Appendix 1 to PP No. 272 indicates the maximum values for the mass of a vehicle with a load for single vehicles and road trains, depending on the number of axles. Here, in Appendix 2, there is a table ultimate loads on truck axles.

To determine this value, the number and location of axles, the distance between them and the number of wheels on each of them are taken into account. If the vehicle, together with the load, exceeds the established permissible values of mass and load, then it is considered heavy.

Usually a heavy cargo is an indivisible structure that must be transported as a whole. Placing it on several vehicles without compromising consumer properties is impossible.

If there are bridges or weakly fortified sections of the roadway along the route, a heavy truck can cause damage to structures. In such cases, the transportation route must be agreed with the road organizations.

Appendix 3 to PP No. 272 indicates limit dimensions vehicles in three dimensions:

length;
width;
height.

The vehicle, the dimensions of which, together with the cargo, exceed the limit, are called large-sized. Transportation in such cases is limited by the size of the roadway, bridges, tunnels, the availability of overhead communication lines and power supply.

Dimensional requirements according to traffic rules

The traffic rules have restrictions on the size of freight transport:

the length of a single car and a trailer is 12 meters each. Road trains - 20 meters;
the width of all modes of transport, excluding isothermal (refrigerators) 2.55 meters;
isothermal vehicles are allowed a slightly larger width - 2.6 meters;
the load may protrude beyond the rear point of the truck by no more than 2 meters.

The requirements for vehicles carrying oversized cargo in traffic rules are primarily related to the need to prevent the creation of obstacles for other road users.

Cargo exceeding the allowable dimensions must:

be securely fastened;
do not block the driver's view;
allow other road users to see registration plates, light and reflective devices;
do not raise dust;
do not create noise that drowns out vehicle signals;
have a designation during daylight hours "Oversized cargo";
have white reflectors and lights in the front, and red ones in the back at night.

The SDA states that the movement of heavy and large vehicles on the roads is regulated by separate regulations.

Shipping

On the basis of 257-FZ, the movement of trucks on the roads with an axle load or mass exceeding the standard by more than 2% is permissible only with special permits. Exception in legislative act provided only for army vehicles transporting military equipment, weapons and other property.

TekPermission issued federal body providing public services and managing property in the field of construction and maintenance of roads or organizations subordinate to it. The list of institutions issuing permits in the regions of the Russian Federation is given on the official website of Rosavtodor.

Document preparation includes the following steps:

Submission of an application by the carrier or his legal representative. It contains all the details of the owner: legal or individual. The application shall be accompanied by the itinerary, information about the requirements for transportation, detailed description TS. Before applying for a permit, the owner must pay the state fee and provide a receipt.
Consideration of the application by the Authorized body. Four working days are given to verify all the information specified in the application and assess the technical feasibility of the proposed transportation.
Approval of the application. Authorized body coordinates the statement of the owner of the vehicle with the owners of the roads, as well as with the traffic police. First, an application with all documents is sent to the road owners. They consider it and give their opinion in the same way in 4 working days. After that, the Authorized body draws up a permit and sends it to the traffic police. Inspection for consideration and approval also has 4 days. If a positive decision is received from the traffic police, the owner of the vehicle can carry out transportation.

If the owners of the roads have found that it is necessary to strengthen the roadway, carry out work on the arrangement of communication lines, engineering structures, the coordination is delayed. The carrier must obtain information about necessary costs and agree to reimburse them.

Organization of the movement of heavy and oversized transport is carried out in compliance with a number of requirements, approved by order of the Ministry of Transport No. 10 dated 12.01.2018. They can be divided into 4 categories:

requirements to technical condition TS. It must comply with the rules technical regulation Customs Union, SDA. The truck must be equipped with braking aids, identification marks, lights, additional rear-view mirrors and others;
requirements for the placement and securing of cargo in accordance with the scheme drawn up by the consignor;
cover vehicle requirements. When moving bulky cargo, accompanying vehicles are used. They are equipped with beacons, reflective warning signs, as well as devices for measuring the height of engineering structures installed above the road;
traffic safety requirements. They come down to strict compliance with the conditions of carriage specified in the permit. Transportation of oversized cargo is carried out by single vehicles, movement in a column is prohibited.

Penalty for transportation without permission

Penalties for transportation without a permit or in violation of its conditions are given in the table (Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses):

Exceeding dimensions during transportation without a permit,	Exceeding the dimensions recorded in the permit,	Excess weight or axle load during transportation without a permit, %	Exceeding the mass or axle load recorded in the permit,	driver fine, thousand roubles.	Penalty to the person responsible for transportation, thousand roubles.	Legal entity fine, thousand roubles.
to 10	to 10	2-10	2-10	1.0-1.5	10.0-15.0	100.0-150.0
10-20		10-20		3.0-4.0	25.0-30.0	250.0-300.0
20-50		20-50		5.0-10.0	35.0-40.0	350.0-400.0
	10-20		10-20	3.0-3.5	20.0-25.0	200.0-250.0
	20-50		20-50	4.0-5.0	30.0-40.0	300.0-400.0
Over 50	Over 50	Over 50	Over 50	7.0-10.0	45.0-50.0	400.0-500.0

Both transportation without appropriate documents and non-compliance with the parameters recorded in the official permit are punished.

The driver can face deprivation of rights up to six months. Serious sanctions are due to the danger posed by oversized cargo on the road.

Transportation of goods is a responsible procedure that requires consideration of many factors. Often, in the process of such transportation, it is necessary to transport various oversized items - objects whose dimensions exceed the norms established in the traffic rules. Experienced drivers know that special requirements are imposed on the transit of such goods. This means that they cannot be transported in a conventional car trailer or train carriage.

How to make transportation oversized cargo vehicle as safe as possible? This article will discuss the rules for the delivery of such non-standard objects and legal regulations which regulate the order of transportation. In addition, we will talk about a number of requirements for the driver of this vehicle, as well as his responsibility for exceeding the weight of the load.

Any cargo carried by car, must correspond to the size that the legislation imposes on him. In this regard, there are a number of restrictions on the delivery of such objects. So, according to the SDA, the cargo must not:

Protrude beyond the length of the vehicle front and rear by more than 1 meter;
Exceed the car in width by more than 2.25 meters;
Have dimensions in height of more than 4 meters.

If the length of the transported object exceeds 1 meter, it is necessary to install a sign of bulky cargo - it is a white square with red stripes drawn diagonally. When exceeding allowable rate more than 2 meters, without the agreement of the driver with the traffic police, the cargo cannot be transported. As for the violation of height standards, in this case it is necessary to hang up two “oversized” signs - in front and behind. In the dark, in addition, reflectors should be added to them. This is necessary in order to ensure their visibility to other drivers. Permission for heavier cargo can be obtained both for one trip and within a period of 1 to 3 months.

SDA requirements

Oversized cargo and heavyweights must be transported in accordance with the requirements of traffic rules. Moreover, some features of such transits are regulated federal laws No. 127 and 257. According to these documents, oversized cargo can be delivered only on condition that it:

Securely fastened;
Does not violate the stability of the car;
Does not restrict the driver's view;
Does not interfere with movement;
Does not cover flickers and signs for other drivers;
No noise, no pollution and no harm to the environment.

The transported cargo must be securely stowed and secured so that there is no shift, fall or any other trouble. It should also not interfere with the driver's driving. Thus, transportation of an object blocking its view is allowed only in cases where the vehicle has both side rear-view mirrors. In no case should the transported object create obstacles to other motorists, as well as other obstacles on the road.

If a convoy moves along with the cargo, then several requirements are also imposed on it. At the same time, one of the cars must be empty - it is intended to replace the main vehicle in case of unforeseen circumstances. So, escort drivers must:

Have warning signs;
Keep a safe distance between each other;
Obtain a travel permit and pass a technical inspection.

Driver Responsibilities

Another important point– compliance speed limit. Max Speed movement of a vehicle with a load on the carriageway should be 60 km/h, and on the bridge - 15 km/h. The driver cannot deviate from the established route. In particular, he is strictly forbidden to drive under adverse conditions. weather conditions, such as ice and poor visibility, and drive along the side of the road.

If on road transport oversized cargo requires a permit, the driver is obliged to issue it immediately. For example, it can be the transportation of large equipment or special equipment. It is better to apply for a pass in advance, since it may take up to 30 working days to receive it at the traffic police. During this time, traffic police officers are required to check the proposed route for obstructions to traffic. You may be denied permission to transit if there is a safer way to transport the cargo: rail, air and sea transportation. If it is possible to disassemble the heavy weight into parts and perform several transportations, you will also be denied a pass.

Responsibility for violation of requirements

The driver driving the vehicle is fully responsible for compliance with the rules for the transportation of oversized cargo. In case of non-compliance with them, he must immediately take measures to eliminate them, and if possible, stop the movement of the car. In addition, the owner of the transport must constantly monitor the condition of the cargo in order to avoid falling or damaging it. The object must not harm either the car itself or other road users.

For improper organization of delivery, the driver of the vehicle may be fined. So, when transporting a large-sized object without a special permit, the motorist must pay from 2 to 2.5 thousand rubles, and if the weight of the cargo is exceeded - from 1.5 to 2 thousand rubles. As for the transportation of objects exceeding their size, in this case the driver may face deprivation of rights for a period of 2 to 4 months. In addition to it, officials and legal entities may be held administratively liable.

The rules for the carriage of goods by road were approved by the government of the Russian Federation in 2011. They regulate all the nuances of the delivery of various goods throughout the country.

Rules for the carriage of goods by road - innovations

Since 2011, several very important innovations have appeared in transport legislation that regulate the organization of road freight transport. These include the following innovations:

Inclusion in the rules of the concept of charter. Given Full description of how it is necessary to draw up a contract for the freight of a vehicle that protects the interests of both parties to the agreement.
Establishment of key maximum allowable specifications vehicles engaged in cargo transportation. According to the SDA, the rules for the carriage of goods by road (cars, trucks) determine the maximum possible weight of the vehicles used, their loads (axial) and dimensions.
Cargo forwarding. If the recipient of the goods for one reason or another does not want to accept it, the carrier company can inform the person who sent the goods about this and receive a new delivery address from him. It must be reported to the transport company within two hours. If this condition is not met, the goods are transported back to the point from which they were sent.
Features of the contract of carriage. It is allowed to conclude it in writing, indicating the obligations of the parties, and by accepting the order for execution by the transport company. It is only important that the consignment note is filled out correctly, which must be drawn up in accordance with the described rules.
Delivery times for goods. One of the key terms of the agreement on the delivery of goods is the approximate timing of the order. Many people forget to specify this point separately, this is especially often observed when a service contract is concluded orally.

Carriage of goods - rules of the road

So that traffic police officers do not have “uncomfortable” questions for drivers carrying out cargo transportation, they should take care of the compliance of the dimensions of their vehicles with the new requirements. On the territory of Russia, vehicles transporting goods must have parameters that do not exceed the established permissible values:

in width: no more than 2.25 meters (2.6 - for cars with an isothermal body);
length: up to 12 meters (both for trailers and single vehicles);
height: no more than 4 meters.

But the mass of the vehicle must meet the following requirements:

no more than 18 tons for two-axle cars, no more than 25 for three-axle cars, no more than 32 for four-axle cars;
no more than 28 tons for road trains with three axles, no more than 36 for four-axle, no more than 40 for five-axle.

For violation of the rules for the carriage of goods, fines are issued not only to drivers, but also to transport companies, and officials that allowed the transfer.

Special rules for the transportation of oversized cargo by road

Rules for the transportation of bulky goods (oversized, heavy) take place in cases where the transported goods with non-standard dimensions:

Are you and your car ready for the coming winter? Modern Gadgets to help you get through the winter comfortably.
Penalties for crossing the stop line and speeding will not bother you anymore!

Since a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, its scope is not limited to one trip from work to work, or country walks with the whole family. Even the smallest compact hatchback can be used to carry a variety of useful items. Which is exactly what a lot of people do.

However, drivers often break the rules:

they overload their cars - by doing this they only make things worse for themselves;
misplaced luggage;
trying to transport items that exceed the size of the car and so on.

The Code of Administrative Offenses is not too strict with such violators, since the fine is quite small - 500 rubles (12.21 part 1). There are also more significant ones, but they apply to truck drivers, and we talked about these fines on the pages of our car portal website.

How to avoid fines? How to properly transport goods in a car - let's try to figure it out in this article.

SDA - transportation of goods

This topic is devoted to the 23rd section of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation, articles 23.1-23.5.

First of all, we read that overload should not be allowed. If the maximum allowable weight is, for example, one and a half tons, then it cannot be exceeded, since this will not only lead to breakdowns in the vehicle suspension or increased fuel consumption, but also to a deterioration in driving characteristics:

management will become more difficult;
shift in the center of gravity, the car may tip over if the driver does not adhere to the speed limit;
increase in stopping distance.

In paragraph 23.2 we read: the owner of the car must make sure that the load is well secured before starting the trip. Indeed, at speed, luggage placed on the roof is strongly affected by the headwind and can shift or even fall on the pavement, thus creating an emergency and obstructing other drivers.

Important information is contained in paragraph 23.3: the cargo is secured so that it:

did not block the view;
did not complicate the management process;
did not negatively affect the stability of the car on the track;
did not pollute the environment, did not produce dust and did not leave marks on the coating.

Also here is another important requirement - lighting devices and registration plates should not be covered. If it is impossible to do without it, then the luggage is placed in such a way that it does not interfere with the correct perception of other drivers by hand signals.

Accordingly, if it is not possible to properly place the luggage, you must either stop and take measures to eliminate this problem, or even abandon further movement.

Requirements for the dimensions of the transported cargo

Often drivers cars have to be transported different kinds products that exceed the dimensions of the vehicle. We can talk about anything: pipes, reinforcement bars, lining, long spare parts for agricultural machinery (knives for combines reaching 5-6 meters).

How to be in that case?

We find the answer in the traffic rules:

If an object protrudes beyond the dimensions of the vehicle by more than one meter in front or behind, or by more than 0.4 meters on the sides, then it must be marked with a special plate - “Oversized cargo”. If there is no such plate with you, then it is enough to tie a piece of red fabric. At night, at the same time, reflectors are hung in front, reflective lights in white, and red in the back.

The height of such a loaded car should not be more than 4 meters from the road surface. It would seem that such a big thing can be put on the roof of your Lada or Opel? But those people who have ever transported foam will agree that it can be folded to a sufficiently high height, although you will have to go very, very slowly.

So if you don't want to be subject to articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses 12.21. Part 1 and pay a fine of 500 rubles, then follow these rules. AT last resort you can always call a cargo taxi - many people do this.
