Road traffic rules
Appendix 2
Road marking and its characteristics
I. Horizontal marking
1. Horizontal marking (lines, arrows, inscriptions and other symbols on the roadway) determine a certain traffic mode and order:
1.1. A narrow continuous line separates traffic flows in opposite directions and prohibits driving in the oncoming traffic lane on the marked road section; marks the edges of traffic lanes in dangerous areas of the road, sections of the carriageway where it is forbidden to enter, the limits of vehicle parking spaces and the edge of the carriageway on roads that are not classified as motorways according to traffic conditions. Crossing this line is prohibited, except when it marks the edge of the carriageway or a parking space.
1.2. A wide solid line marks the edge of the carriageway and the limits of sections into which entry is prohibited on motorways; separates the carriageway lane for shuttle transport; separates the traffic lane from the shuttle bus stop. Crossing this line is prohibited, except when it marks the edge of the carriageway.
1.3. A double continuous line separates traffic flows in opposite directions on roads with four or more lanes and prohibits driving in the oncoming traffic lanes on the marked road section. Crossing this line is prohibited.
1.4. A solid yellow line marks the places where it is forbidden to stop (park), it can be used to mark traffic lanes at the work site. Used alone or in conjunction with a "No Stopping" sign and painted along the edge of the roadway (at the work site and on the roadway) or at the top of the street curb. Crossing this line is prohibited when it separates traffic flows in opposite directions.
1.5. A narrow dashed line, with lines three times shorter than the spaces, separates traffic flows in opposite directions on roads with two or three lanes, and marks lane boundaries when there are two lanes or more lanes for one-way traffic. This line is allowed to be crossed from both sides.
1.6. The approach line - a narrow dashed line with lines three times as long as the spaces - warns of the approach of a solid marking line 1.1, 1.3 or 1.10, which separates traffic in opposite directions or in the same direction. This line is allowed to be crossed from both sides.
1.7. A narrow dashed line with the same length of dashes and spaces indicates traffic lanes at an intersection, the place of entering (exiting) the road and the edge of the carriageway on roads that are not classified as highways and international roads according to traffic conditions. This line is allowed to be crossed from both sides.
1.8. A wide dashed line, the length of the dashes three times shorter than the gaps, marks the boundaries between the acceleration lane, the deceleration lane and the main lane of the carriageway (at intersections and intersections of roads of different heights, bus stop zones, etc.). This line is allowed to be crossed from both sides.
1.9. The yellow dashed line marks places where parking is prohibited. Used alone or in conjunction with a No Parking sign and drawn along the edge of the roadway or at the top of the street curb.
1.10. A double line, consisting of two narrow parallel lines, one of which is continuous and the other dashed, separates the traffic flows of opposite or the same directions on road sections where changing lanes is allowed only from one lane; mark places for turning around, entering and exiting parking lots where only one direction of travel is allowed. This line is allowed to be crossed from the side of the dashed line, as well as from the solid side, but only at the end of turning or going around.
1.11. A wide line drawn across the roadway ("Stop" line) shows the place where the driver must stop when there is a "No driving without stopping" sign or a prohibited traffic light (regulator) signal.
1.12. A line made of triangles shows the place where the driver must stop and give way to vehicles traveling on the crossed road if necessary.
1.13. Pedestrian crossings:
1.13.1. Zebras represent an unregulated crosswalk.
1.13.2. "Zebras" indicate an unregulated pedestrian crossing, and arrows indicate the direction of pedestrian walking.
1.13.3. Two parallel lines made up of rectangles mark a pedestrian crossing where traffic is controlled by a traffic light.
1.14. Two parallel lines made up of squares mark where the bike path crosses the carriageway.
1.15. Directional islands:
1.15.1. The dashed area represents diversion islands that limit traffic flows in opposite directions or indicate an obstacle on the carriageway.
1.15.2. The dashed area represents diversion islands at the branching points of traffic flows of the same direction of travel.
1.15.3. The dashed area represents diversion islands at the points of convergence of traffic flows of the same direction of travel.
1.16. The arrows indicate the permitted driving directions in the lane. The marking is used alone or together with the signs "Traffic directions at the intersection", "Traffic direction at the intersection"; the blind spot sign warns that it is forbidden to turn into the nearest carriageway; markings that allow turning left from the left side lane also allow U-turns.
1.17. Arrows with a curved stem warn of approaching a narrowing of the carriageway or a continuous marking line 1.1 or 1.3, 1.10, which separates traffic flows in opposite directions. Can be used in conjunction with any of the "Constriction" signs or in the spaces between the 1.6 (1.5) line b fogs.
1.18. The triangle indicates that the 1.12 marking line is approaching.
1.19. The sign "STOP" indicates that the marking line 1.11 is approaching when used in conjunction with the sign "No driving without stopping".
1.20. Letters and numbers indicate the road number (route).
1.21. The letter "A" indicates a carriageway lane intended for shuttle traffic only or a shuttle stop.
1.22. A wide dashed line, with the same length of dashes and spaces between dashes, indicates a carriageway lane intended for shuttle traffic only, or a shuttle stop in places where it is allowed to enter (exit) it.
1.23. The bicycle symbol indicates the part of the path intended for bicycle traffic.
1.24. The symbol of a disabled person with a wheelchair indicates a parking space where only vehicles marked with the "Disabled" sign can park.
1.25. The checkerboard-arranged boxes represent artificial hills (bumps) installed on the roadway to reduce driving speed.
1.26. The double dashed line denotes reverse traffic lanes, where the direction of traffic changes to the opposite, separates the traffic flows of opposite directions. It is forbidden to cross this line, which separates traffic flows in opposite directions. If this line divides the traffic of the same direction of travel, when the green reverse traffic light signal is activated, this line is allowed to be crossed from both sides, and when the yellow reverse traffic light signal is activated, only when this line is on the driver's right.
II. Vertical labeling
2. Vertical marking, consisting of alternating white and black stripes on road structures and road equipment elements, indicates their dimensions, helps orientation and is marked as follows:
2.1. Diagonal black and white stripes mark vertical elements of road structures (bridges, overpass supports, rear parts of fences, etc.) when these elements pose a danger to moving vehicles.
2.2. Vertical black and white stripes mark the lower edge of bridges, viaducts, and tunnel structures.
2.3. The horizontal black and white stripes indicate signal devices placed in the separation lanes or safety islands.
2.4. A diagonal wide black bar indicates signal poles, barriers, supports of fences (fences) and the like.
2.5. Horizontal wide dashed lines mark the side surfaces of fences (fences) in sharp turns, steep slopes and other dangerous sections.
2.6. The horizontal continuous black line marks the lateral surfaces of the fences (fences) in other road sections.
2.7. Horizontal dashed white and black lines mark street curbs in dangerous sections and prominent safety islands.
