U-turn through a solid - a maneuver that is not so rare on the road. But what is the penalty for this violation? And are there any ways to make a U-turn without much difficulty? Understanding all this is not as difficult as it seems. The main thing is to learn the rules of the correct movement on the roads. So what to prepare for a driver who has made a U-turn through a solid line? How to turn around on the road?
Double solid
It is worth paying attention to some established U-turn rules in Russia. The thing is that the traffic police constantly remind drivers that the implementation of the previously specified maneuver on sections of the road with a double solid line is prohibited. With such a violation, you will have to face one or another punishment.
But there are still exceptions. U-turns on a solid line section are permitted with appropriate permitting signs. But this is a special case, it is not too common.
Double line
Sometimes there are especially wide roads with two-way traffic. A double solid line of marking is applied to them. Intersection of such sections, as well as turns on them, are prohibited. And both for overtaking, and for performing certain maneuvers.
If there is two-way traffic on the road and more than 4 marking lanes, then a citizen can only maneuver in places where this is permitted. For example, at intersections. Otherwise, you will face one or another punishment. As practice shows, most often it is a fine.
Urgent need
A solid marking line will not be any obstacle to a turn or turn in case of emergency. It is indicated that, if necessary, the intersection of the solid marking line is permitted.
For example, to eliminate an accident or any other danger that threatens the population or the driver. Under such circumstances, it is advisable to have evidence of innocence. Otherwise, you can lose your driver’s license for a certain period of time. This should be remembered by every citizen.
Upright Punishment
U-turn through a solid is a violation, which is most often punished with a fine in one size or another. The exact amount of payments is established individually or in court, or by traffic police. But what highs and lows should a citizen focus on?
What size is the fine for crossing a solid line? It all depends on the situation. But according to the established rules, the minimum payment is set at 1,000 rubles.
How much do you have to pay? Not too much. The intersection of the solid line a fine of 1,5 thousand rubles will ultimately request from the driver. And all the fault will end there. There is no other punishment to date.
Driver's license
And do they take away the rights for these turns on the roads in the wrong places? In particular, when performing a maneuver in a solid line section? In general, situations can be different.
As practice shows, a reversal through a solid requires a citizen only to pay a fine in the prescribed amount. But the driver’s license will not be deprived. Such a punishment measure is relevant only in the case of crossing a double solid for overtaking.
Also, they can take away the driver’s license only when the driver drove along the “oncoming lane” for several meters before turning. In this case, the deprivation of rights is prescribed for 4-6 months.
One wheel
In some cases, it turns out that a reversal through two continuous ones did not take place. The driver just drove one wheel on a line. It is hard to imagine, but a similar situation is also a serious and widespread violation.
What is due for its commission? It is noted that the driver will get off with the usual fine. Its size is set at 1,500 rubles in 2016. A driver’s license for such a situation will not be denied.
With travel
Was a U-turn in the wrong place? Punishment, as already mentioned, in this situation is expressed in cash. And if you previously also move along the “oncoming lane,” you can lose your rights.
Nevertheless, sometimes the traffic police go to meet them. They charge a fine for this violation. Which one? If the driver has made a U-turn on a section of the road with a double solid line, previously moving along the oncoming lane , you will have to pay up to 5,000 rubles.
Contradiction
What's next? Sometimes it happens that on the road there is a conflicting marking. For example, temporary and permanent. How to be in this situation? Drivers will have to understand that with temporary and permanent markings, the first type of strokes dominates.
That is, the turn on the site will be allowed if the temporary marking allows you to do this. And if there are only constant lines that contradict each other? Then, according to the SDA, a continuous intersection is permitted only if the appropriate traffic signs are installed. In other words, if the constant horizontal marking contradicts itself, you need to pay attention to the signs installed next to it.
End on a solid
Overtaking is also quite common. From all the foregoing, it can be distinguished that a citizen should not call on a solid. He simply violates the established rules of conduct.
Will you have to pay the established fines if a person did not start overtaking on a solid line, but ended it on a solid? No. According to the established rules in Russia, when overtaking, the driver must return to the lane from where he started driving. Accordingly, such a maneuver will not be considered a violation in any way.
From the surrounding area
Crossing a double solid line is a common violation. It is such, even if we are talking about leaving the surrounding territories. According to the established rules, driving on a road with a double solid intersection is punishable by an administrative fine.
In what sizes? According to the Code of Administrative Offenses, you will have to pay 500 rubles. That is how much the violation described will cost. Or the traffic police will consider the maneuver completed and impose a higher fine.
Left turn
U-turn through a solid is, as has already been said, a violation. But what about the turn? Turns to the left are permitted if they do not contradict the signs set on the curb.
For violation - a fine. How much exactly? Turning left on road sections where maneuver is prohibited is punishable by administrative payment. It is necessary to pay as much as for a turn through a continuous one. Namely, from 1 to 1.5 thousand rubles.
Advice to drivers
Now it’s clear what reversal rules apply in Russia today. What advice can be given to drivers? Many indicate that areas with solid lines will have to pay special attention. Especially with the traffic police. Some simply forget that road signs are more important than marking. And so a citizen can be fined in one way or another.
Summary
U-turn rules in force in Russia prohibit traffic with the intersection or arrival on solid lines. In some situations, such a maneuver is permitted. In particular, if this action is permitted by temporary markings or road signs.
Remembering all the established rules, you can easily turn around and turn left in certain places without any problems. Drivers still recommend that special care be taken to roads and solid lines. Often fines cannot be avoided. Fortunately, they are not too tall. In fact, everything is not as difficult as it seems. The implementation of the studied maneuver requires special care. Correctly interpreted signs and markings will help to correctly reverse through a solid line. Punishment then will not be imposed.
