One of the important groups of road signs is the group of prohibiting signs, which introduce or cancel certain restrictions. In order to easily navigate the variety of symbols that appear on the road, every car enthusiast needs to accurately understand their meaning. On this page you will find all the prohibiting traffic signs in pictures. Comments have been added to all signs in accordance with the 2021 traffic regulations.

How to group

Prohibition signs can be divided into several groups:

Signs prohibiting movement

This group consists of signs that prohibit the movement of certain vehicles or pedestrians and begin to operate from the place of installation. The departure of vehicles from under these signs is not limited by the rules. There are exceptions for buses or cars traveling on a specific route.

Restrictions on weight, dimensions and distance to be maintained

This group includes signs that restrict the passage of trucks depending on their size or weight, and also regulate the minimum distance between vehicles.

Sign 3.4

Driving without stopping is prohibited

This group requires a mandatory stop before the sign. You can continue driving only after permission from the road inspector or customs officer. In addition to stopping, you should not leave your vehicle without permission or put it in reverse.

Signs restricting the direction of movement

These signs can be seen immediately before the intersection of roadways. They prohibit the execution of a specifically specified maneuver, allowing movement in other directions. The coverage area of prohibitory signs of this group extends to the nearest intersection following it.

Restriction of movement in a certain mode

These signs prohibit overtaking or sounding the horn. The effect extends to the next intersection, end or beginning of a populated area, or to a sign that cancels their instructions.

Parking rules

Sign 3.27

These are signs prohibiting parking and/or stopping. Their effect extends only to the side on which they are installed and may be accompanied by road markings.

Stopping under a prohibition sign is possible in emergency cases: due to a technical malfunction of the vehicle or the danger created by the cargo being transported, as well as due to the poor condition of the driver. In such a situation, it is necessary to turn on the emergency signal and display an emergency stop sign.

End of the prohibited zone.

Signs with black borders remove restrictions. As a rule, they are installed at the end of the restricted zone.

When can you drive under the “Entry prohibited” and “Traffic prohibited” signs and what are the consequences of violating them?

What are the similarities and differences between the signs?

Both signs - 3.1 “Entry prohibited” (popularly known as “brick”) and 3.2 “Traffic prohibited” do not allow the movement of vehicles after they begin to operate. However, the first sign only prohibits entry

, implying that a car could drive out because of it - for example, from a one-way road.
The second sign completely prohibits the movement of all vehicles after it in both directions
.

Who can drive under the “No Entry” and “No Traffic” signs?

The section of the traffic rules describing prohibitory signs also indicates vehicles to which certain signs do not apply. According to the rules, sign 3.1 “No Entry” (aka “brick”) does not apply to route vehicles.

For sign 3.2, the list of exceptions is wider: the effect of the “No Traffic” sign does not apply to:

postal cars with a white diagonal stripe on a blue background;

cars that serve enterprises located in the area behind the sign;

vehicles that serve citizens or belong to citizens living or working in the designated area;

cars driven by disabled people of groups I and II, transporting such disabled people or disabled children, if the identification sign “Disabled” is installed on these vehicles.

Summarizing the conditions listed above and projecting them onto drivers of ordinary passenger cars, we can draw a brief conclusion: drivers of passenger cars are not allowed to drive under a “brick” under any circumstances, and under the sign “No driving” - only for those who live or work in the area behind it sign or has a legally installed “Disabled” sign on the car

What fines are provided for driving through prohibitory signs?

When passing through a prohibitory sign, the potential fine depends not only on the sign itself, but also on what rules were violated as a result of passing.

For driving under a brick, three main situations can be distinguished: when sign 3.1 is installed at the entrance to a public transport lane, at the entrance to a one-way road and at the entrance to or on the adjacent territory. Driving under a brick in these cases is punishable under the relevant articles of Chapter 12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Entering the public transport lane

in the same direction, according to Part 1.1 of Article 12.17, is punishable
by a fine of 1,500 rubles
, and if this happened
in Moscow or St. Petersburg
, then Part 1.2 of the same article sets
a fine of 3,000 rubles
.

Driving under a brick onto a one-way road,

according to Part 3 of Article 12.16, means
a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of 4 to 6 months
, and
a repeated violation,
according to Part 3.1 of the same article, is already
deprivation of rights for a period of 1 year
, and if it was recorded by an automatic camera, then
a fine of 5,000 rubles
.

The third option is when the “brick” is installed at the entrance to or on the adjacent territory

: in this case, the violation is interpreted under Part 1 of Article 12.16 as “failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs” and means
a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles
.

But sign 3.2 “No traffic” is installed in front of areas where the movement of cars must be completely prohibited, except for those that fall under the exceptions described above. Accordingly, there will be neither a one-way road nor a public transport lane behind it, and driving under this sign will also be interpreted under Part 1 of Article 12.16 as “failure to comply with the requirements prescribed by road signs” and will be punishable by a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles

Area of prohibition signs

1Some signs have a certain coverage area, it extends from the place where the sign is installed to the nearest intersection following it.

2In populated areas, in the absence of an intersection, the sign’s coverage area extends to the end of the populated area. It is worth clarifying here that the sign does not lose its influence in those places where a secondary direction, as well as a forest or field road, adjoins the main path.

3Sign 3.31 means the end of the prohibition sign’s coverage area.

How to get under the "brick"

If on the way to the destination or to the desired road object there is a sign 3.1 “Entry prohibited”, this means that it is prohibited to enter from the side of the sign, but you can drive to the destination from the other side - from the opposite side or from the side entrance. There is certainly another entrance, you need to look for it.

But this “technique” of travel only works in adjacent territories. If you drive under a “brick” sign that prohibits entry into a dedicated lane or into oncoming traffic, you can receive not only a large fine, but also deprivation of your license for up to six months.

Sign 3.1 does not apply to route vehicles.

Where are they installed?

Prohibition signs are installed directly in front of the section of the road where the restriction is introduced, or in advance, with a “distance to the object” sign. The same rules apply to them as to other signs: installation at a height of 1.5 to 3 meters from the roadway or above the roadway.

Among all the prohibiting signs, of which there are 36 in total, 9 signs can be distinguished, having the extension of the area of the imposed restrictions, to the nearest intersection or to the end of the populated area, or to a sign canceling its effect.
