It should be noted that in the Russian Federation the Federal Law on Technical Regulation No. 184-FZ dated December 27, 2002 years, the concepts of “technical regulation” and “standard” were separated, and therefore all GOSTs lose their mandatory nature and are applied voluntarily. But during the transition period (before the adoption of the relevant technical regulations) the law provides for mandatory compliance with the requirements of the standards insofar as they correspond to the goals of protecting the life or health of citizens, property of individuals or legal entities, state or municipal property; protection of the environment, life or health of animals and plants; prevention of actions that mislead purchasers.

Consequently, all the requirements of the above paragraphs of the relevant GOSTs are mandatory, since they are directly related to ensuring the safety of life and health of all road users.

Signs made using type B reflective film are preferably used on roads with artificial lighting outside populated areas and on roads in populated areas with six or more lanes. Signs located above or to the side of the roadway at a height of more than 3 m should preferably be made using type B reflective film.

At the court hearing, representatives of the parties did not deny that the specified road crossing is equipped with traffic lights, road markings are applied to it, thus the court finds no grounds for satisfying the prosecutor’s demands in terms of ensuring the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian transition) with a fluorescent edging made from the front surface with a reflective film of yellow (yellow-green) color, since the installation of this kind of signs with film is not mandatory, is installed in difficult road conditions. The court was not presented with evidence of difficult road conditions on this section of the road.

Based on the foregoing, the court considers it possible to satisfy the prosecutor’s demands regarding the defendant’s obligation to ensure the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian crossing) at the intersection, within the time period proposed by the prosecutor.

DECIDED:

Claims in defense of an indefinite number of persons against the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for Traffic Management” for the obligation to carry out certain actions were partially satisfied.

Oblige the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for Traffic Management” to ensure the installation of road signs “5.19.1” and “5.19.2” (pedestrian crossing) at the intersection, within 15 days from the date the court decision enters into legal force .

To collect from the St. Petersburg State Treasury Institution “Directorate for the Organization of Road Traffic” a state duty in the amount of 200 (two hundred) rubles to the budget of St. Petersburg.

The rest of the claim is denied.

The decision can be appealed on appeal through the Nevsky District Court of St. Petersburg to the St. Petersburg City Court within one month from the date of issuance.

Judge: O.V. Orlova

Court:

Nevsky District Court (City of St. Petersburg)

Plaintiffs:

Prosecutor of the Primorsky district of St. Petersburg, in defense of the interests of an indefinite circle of persons

I decided to ask how things were going. In a written reply they sent me an answer to another question. I had to call the contractor to find out.
It turned out that today the traffic police have prepared a proposal, and now RosDorNII has taken the baton. There is currently a public discussion of Amendment No. 3 of GOST R 52289-2004, until May 10, 2013. I was given this project.

In this post I will talk about innovations regarding pedestrian crossings. In the next one I will describe the remaining changes.

The new formulation covers many different cases, not only about tram tracks. A fairly general and simple rule.

There are 2 changes regarding signs 5.19.1/5.19.2. In regular font I write the text that was, bold- which is introduced in Amendment No. 3.

Change in clause 5.1.6 On roads with two or more lanes in a given direction, signs 1.1, 1.2, 1.20.1-1.20.3, 1.25, 2.4, 2.5, 3.24 installed to the right of the roadway are duplicated.
Duplicate signs are installed on the dividing strip.
On roads without dividing strip duplicate signs are installed:
- to the left of the roadway in cases where oncoming traffic is carried out in one or two lanes;
- over the roadway in cases where oncoming traffic is carried out in three or more lanes.
If necessary, it is allowed to duplicate other signs in the same way.
On roads with one lane for traffic in each direction, signs 3.20 and 3.22 are duplicated, on roads with three lanes for traffic in both directions - sign 5.15.6. Signs are installed to the left of the roadway.(I will describe this in the second post)
On two-way roads with two or more lanes for traffic in a given direction, as well as on one-way roads with three or more lanes, sign 5.19.1 is duplicated above the roadway.

It will look something like this:

The same formulation applied to a road with tram tracks in the middle will give almost the following picture (only not above the left lane, but it is not clear how):

Change in clause 5.6.24 Signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 “Pedestrian crossing” are used to designate places designated for pedestrians to cross the road.
Sign 5.19.1 is installed to the right of the road, sign 5.19.2 - to the left. On roads with a dividing strip (lanes), signs 5.19.1 and 5.19.2 are installed on the dividing strip, respectively, to the right or left of each roadway.
If there is no marking 1.14 at the crossing, sign 5.19.1 is installed on the near border of the crossing relative to approaching vehicles, sign 5.19.2 - on the far border. The width of an unmarked pedestrian crossing between signs is determined according to 6.2.17.
Signs at a marked pedestrian crossing are installed at a distance of no more than 1 m from the border of the crossing.
Sign 5.19.2 may be placed on the reverse side of sign 5.19.1.
It is permissible not to install signs at marked pedestrian crossings located at controlled intersections.
On roads with a dividing strip (lanes) up to 3 m wide, it is allowed not to install sign 5.19.1 on the dividing strip. In this case, instead of sign 5.19.1, signs 5.19.2 are installed on one support at the intersection of the axes of the dividing strip and the pedestrian crossing

On unregulated at intersections at marked pedestrian crossings, provided that the border of the crossing closest to the center of the intersection coincides with the edge of the roadway, signs may be installed only on the far border of the crossing.

The crossed out paragraph is interesting. Previously, at intersections with traffic lights, if there was a zebra crossing, it was possible not to install “Pedestrian crossing” signs. Now - be sure to always put up signs!
In order not to block 4 signs on 2 supports, we decided to make 1 support in the middle of the crossing, and place only signs 5.19.2. A normal solution, I think.
