Section 23 of the traffic rules. Rules for the transportation of oversized cargo

Transportation rules oversized cargo Section 23 “Transportation of goods” of the Road Traffic Regulations is devoted and, in particular, 23.4, which prescribes the designation of large cargo with special signs. IN dark time days, as well as in case of insufficient visibility (read: snowfall, fog, rain) - with reflectors or lights: white in front, red in back.

By oversized cargo, traffic regulations mean one that protrudes beyond the front/rear dimensions of the vehicle by more than a meter, or on the side by more than 0.4 meters from the side lights.

As stated in Traffic rules transportation oversized cargo (including heavy cargo) is separately regulated by requirements, standards and rules. However, you need to know that the leading role still belongs to traffic rules. Therefore, if a controversial situation suddenly arises, you can go to court, which, as a rule, makes a decision based specifically on the points of the traffic rules, and not on some departmental rules.

After the new Rules for the transportation of goods by road came into force, the well-known Instruction prescribing the rules for the transportation of heavy and large-sized cargo continues to apply. by car on the roads Russian Federation, but only in part that does not contradict the new Rules. In any case, the loads on each axle should never exceed those permitted by the manufacturer, and it is necessary to take into account the weight of the semi-trailer, which also cannot be more than the maximum permissible values.

Also, every driver must know that transporting large cargo is possible only under conditions when the cargo:

does not interfere with the driver's view. And the driver must see both the entire road situation ahead and behind with the help of rear-view mirrors;
does not interfere with control and does not impair stability vehicle;
does not block external reflectors and lighting devices, license plates and other identification marks for other traffic participants, and does not create obstacles to the perception of hand signals.
does not pollute environment, does not create noise, dust, etc.

There are also traffic features in terms of speed limits. Oversized cargo is required by traffic regulations to be transported at a speed of no higher than 60 km/h on roads, and 15 km/h when driving on bridges.

In addition, the driver is prohibited from deviating from the prescribed route, agreed upon with special authorities.
If any of the conditions stipulated by the traffic rules for the transportation of oversized cargo is violated, the driver must correct the violation or stop driving. If this is not done, then a fine or even deprivation of rights will follow, according to Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

For example, for transporting heavy or large-sized cargo without a special permit (if one is required), as well as in case of deviation from the route specified in the special permit, the driver can either be fined in the amount of 2,000 rubles or be deprived of driver's license for up to 6 months, as well as detain the vehicle. On officials and legal entities fines are much higher - up to 20,000 and even up to 500,000 rubles, respectively.

When transporting cargo exceeding the dimensions specified in the special permit by more than 10 cm, the driver may be fined up to 2,000 rubles or deprived of his license for up to 4 months. An official will be fined up to 15,000 rubles, a legal entity - up to 400,000 rubles. And also - to detain the vehicle.

If the maximum weight or axle load exceeds those specified in the special permit, drivers, officials and legal entities will also face fines, as in the previous situation. But there is no provision for deprivation of rights and delay of the vehicle.

The mass of the transported cargo and the load distribution along the axles must not exceed the values established by the manufacturer for this vehicle

Before starting and while driving, the driver is obliged to control the placement, fastening and condition of the load in order to avoid it falling and creating obstacles to movement.

Transportation of cargo is permitted provided that it:

does not limit the driver's visibility;

does not complicate control and does not affect the stability of the vehicle;

does not cover external lighting devices and reflectors, registration and identification marks, and does not interfere with the perception of hand signals;

does not create noise, does not create dust and does not pollute the road or the environment

If the condition and placement of the cargo do not meet the established requirements, the driver is obliged to take measures to eliminate the violations the listed rules transportation or stop further movement.

Before a long trip, make a list of all the essentials. Try to place it all correctly and efficiently in the car. Make the most of the trunk space, but do not exceed permissible load on the car axle. When placing cargo on the roof rack, remember that it increases the vehicle's center of gravity and this increases the risk of rollover.

A load protruding beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front or behind by more than 1 m(Fig. 215) or laterally more than 0.4 m(Fig. 216) from the outer edge of the side light, must be marked with identification signs “Large cargo”, and in the dark and in conditions of poor visibility - in addition, in front - with a flashlight or reflector white, at the back - a red light or reflector

Reader A: If I took the boards to the dacha on the top trunk, and they protrude beyond the dimensions of the car in length by more than 1 meter, then I need to attach the specified identification mark to them.

Reader B: What he really is?

Reader A: It says there that it is made in the form of a shield. Is it illegal to use rag flags?

Reader B: What if the boards hang more than 1 meter both in front and behind?

Placing large cargo on the trunk passenger car, take into account the requirements of the next paragraph of the Rules. However, they apply to all vehicles

Transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, movement of a vehicle whose overall dimensions, with or without cargo, exceed 2.55 m in width (2.6 m for refrigerators and isothermal bodies), in height 4 m from the surface of the roadway, 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 overall dimensions 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 are carried out in accordance with the requirements for vehicles and transportation rules established by international treaties of the Russian Federation.

Since a car is not a luxury, but a means of transportation, its scope of use is not limited to trips to and from work, or country walks with the whole family. Even the smallest compact hatchback can be used to transport a wide variety of useful items. Which, in fact, is what many people do.

However, drivers often break the rules:

they overload their cars - by doing this they only make it worse for themselves;
luggage is placed incorrectly;
they try to transport objects 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 very 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 automobile portal website.

How to avoid fines? Let’s try to figure it out in this article about how to properly transport cargo in a passenger car.

SDA - transportation of goods

Section 23 of the Traffic Regulations of the Russian Federation, articles 23.1-23.5, is devoted to this topic.

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

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

In paragraph 23.2 we read: the owner of the car is obliged to make sure that the load is well secured before starting the trip. Indeed, at speed, luggage placed on the roof is strongly influenced by the headwind and can move or even fall onto the asphalt, thus creating emergency situation and obstacles for other drivers.

Important information is contained in paragraph 23.3: the load 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 highway;
did not pollute the environment, did not generate dust and did not leave marks on the coating.

There is also another important requirement here - lighting devices and registration plates must not be covered. If this cannot be avoided, then the luggage is placed in such a way that it does not interfere with the correct perception of hand signals by other drivers.

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

Requirements for the dimensions of transported cargo

Often, car drivers have to transport various types of products that exceed the dimensions of the vehicle. We can talk about anything: pipes, reinforcement bars, lining, long spare parts for agricultural equipment (knives for combines, reaching 5-6 meters).

What to do in this 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 sign - “Large cargo”. If you don’t have such a sign with you, then just tie a piece of red cloth. At night, reflectors and white reflective lights are hung in front, and red ones in the back.

The height of such a loaded vehicle should not be more than 4 meters from the road surface. It would seem that something so big can be placed on the roof of your Lada or Opel? But those people who have ever transported polystyrene foam will agree that it can be folded quite greater height, though you will have to drive very, very slowly.

Thus, if you do not want to fall under the provisions of Article 12.21 of the Administrative Code. Part 1 and pay a fine of 500 rubles, then adhere to these rules. As a last resort, you can always call a cargo taxi - many people do it this way.

There are standard requirements and rules according to which the transportation of heavy and oversized cargo is carried out. Traffic regulations clearly regulate the specifics of their transportation highways located on the territory of the Russian Federation.

What is oversized cargo?

Any object to be transported with parameters exceeding the established ones Traffic rules dimensions, is called oversized (heavy) cargo. It does not have a clear definition and consists of a number of requirements that apply to the loading platform and the condition of the road surface.

The main parameters of cargo include height, length, width and weight. If an object exceeds one of these indicators valid values, it is considered to be oversized cargo.

The difficulties of transporting oversized cargo are primarily related to the characteristics of the roads and the presence of tunnels and bridges along the route, which have restrictions on the height of arches and passages, as well as carrying capacity. This also includes road intersections with railway crossings, as well as the availability of communication and power lines. Transportation may still be limited weather conditions and type of road surface.

Examples of oversized cargo include some types of agricultural machinery, boats and yachts, drilling rigs, turbines, concrete products and other objects of various shapes, sizes and heavy weight. Thus, any object can be considered oversized if, due to the characteristics of its shape, size, weight and other parameters, it cannot be transported on a vehicle in closed(for example, using standard size containers).

Rules for the transportation of oversized cargo

According to clause 23.3 of the rules traffic Transportation of oversized and heavy cargo is permitted if they do not affect the quality of the driver’s visibility, do not impair the stability of the vehicle, or obscure the visibility of reflectors, identification marks and lighting devices.

Oversized cargo should not create noise, impair visibility on the roadway for other road users by raising dust, or cause mechanical damage road surface, and also provide negative impact on the environment.

Clause 23.4 of the traffic rules states that if the transported object exceeds the transport platform in size by more than 1 m in front and behind, as well as by 0.4 m on one or each of its sides, the cargo must be equipped with a special reflective sign “ Large cargo."

Important: transportation of oversized items in low light conditions or at night is permitted only if compliance with following conditions: a white reflector or flashlight must be attached to the front of the object, and a red reflector to the rear. In addition, the vehicle must be equipped with orange and yellow flashing lights.

When transporting oversized cargo by road, the speed of the vehicle should not exceed 60 km/h (when driving on bridges - 15 km/h). At the same time, the driver does not have the right to independently change the route, which is agreed in advance with government agencies. This is due to the load that highways, roads and structures located on a certain route can withstand.

Loads, depending on their weight and dimensions, are conventionally divided into 2 categories (taking into account the vehicle) - with a load on each axle and permissible dimensions (length, width, height). Thus, a vehicle platform is considered a heavy load if its mass or axle load exceeds the established values. Oversized cargo is considered to be such transport (regardless of whether it is loaded or not), the dimensions of which exceed the permissible dimensions.

The instructions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation currently regulate the transportation of oversized cargo and are the main normative document, which allows their transportation on roads. At the same time, any objects belonging to the category of heavy and oversized cargo are allowed for transportation under strict observance Traffic rules of the Russian Federation, transportation rules, as well as special requirements, which are indicated in the corresponding permit.

An important regulatory document regulating the procedure for compensation for damage caused to roads and various structures by cargo vehicles is Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 962 of September 29, 1995. Its provisions apply to transport companies and drivers transporting heavy and oversized cargo on roads located in Russia.

Important: To transport oversized items, owners of transport companies must obtain a special permit. This can be done by submitting an application to the relevant road authorities, which are located in the region from which the truck route is planned. To obtain permission to transport oversized cargo of all categories outside the Russian Federation, an application must be submitted to the Ministry of Transport of Russia or any of its divisions. If the route passes along federal roads, a corresponding application should be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration service. To obtain permission to transport heavy and oversized objects along a route that runs along roads belonging to constituent entities of the Russian Federation, you must contact the territorial highway authorities (at the location of the carrier company’s vehicles).

According to the Instructions for the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo, applications from carriers are submitted in a strictly prescribed form. It should contain the following information:

data on organizations coordinating the transportation of oversized items;
exact dimensions, category and nature of the cargo being transported;
weight and dimensions of the vehicle;
terms of transportation of oversized items of certain categories;
detailed route;
type, name, purpose and throughput motorways.

Permission for the transportation of oversized cargo can be issued by government authorities one-time or for certain period. This depends on the category to which the objects to be transported belong, as well as on the type and characteristics of their transportation. The received one-time permit indicates the exact route of the transport with the cargo and the deadlines agreed in advance. It is valid only once.

As for documents issued for a specific period, they allow the transportation of oversized cargo of the first category and can be valid for 1-3 months. To obtain permission to transport heavy and oversized cargo of the second category, a motor transport company is required to submit diagrams:

road trains with depicted vehicles taking part in transportation;
location of axles and wheels on vehicles;
distribution of axial loads.

The carrier company obtains permission from state highway authorities, which also coordinate the transportation of oversized cargo along the route with balance holders of communications and various structures (overpasses, metro, underground pipelines, power lines, etc.), authorized bodies of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation, as well as regional departments of railways .

After obtaining the appropriate permit, transportation must be coordinated with the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. Requirements for the transportation of oversized items must be agreed upon to ensure traffic safety. The carrier must obtain from the traffic inspectorate a special type pass giving the right to carry out transportation, which should be placed on the windshield of the truck.

It is mandatory that representatives of the road inspection determine the need to accompany oversized and heavy cargo. For this the following can be used:

traffic police patrol cars;
tractors;
cover cars.

Please note that cover vehicles are used to escort cargo if the vehicle width exceeds 3.5 m, and also if the road train used to transport oversized cargo is more than 24 m in length. Tractors and cover vehicles must be allocated for the transportation of oversized cargo by the carrier company or the sender of the cargo.

A traffic police patrol car takes part in the transportation of cargo if the vehicle is wider than 4 m, the length of the road train is more than 30 m, and the object being transported belongs to the second category. This should also include cases when the vehicle loading platform in use is forced to occupy part of the road in the oncoming traffic lane.

Oversized cargo is accompanied by patrol cars on a contractual basis. When using cover vehicles, the latter must be equipped with flashing lights. Such vehicles move at a distance of 15-20 m to the left in relation to the escorted vehicle that is carrying cargo, so that the width of its overall dimensions extends beyond the width of the accompanied vehicle.

If you have to move across the bridge, the position of the vehicles and the distance must also be agreed upon with the traffic police, drawing up a specific route map.

Important: if due to a number of circumstances there is a need to change the route when transporting oversized cargo, the carrier company is required to obtain the appropriate permission.

Owners of motor transport enterprises, officials and drivers for violation of the rules for the transportation of goods and operation of vehicles, which are established by manufacturers, are liable in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

Permissible dimensions of cargo for transportation by road

Transportation of heavy and non-standard-sized cargo in accordance with traffic regulations is carried out by special vehicles. The weight of oversized items should not exceed the permissible values set by manufacturers various types TS. As for the dimensions of the transported cargo, they must not limit the driver’s visibility and not interfere with driving.

So, if the cargo extends beyond the boundaries of the vehicle, it must be marked with a special sign “Large cargo”, and in the absence of the latter - with scraps of red or white fabric, lanterns or reflectors.

For trucks

Transportation of unusual cargo exceeding any of the established standard parameters is carried out according to the rules using oversized transport. Thus, for objects transported by trucks, the following are established: permissible dimensions:

length – 22 m;
height – 4 m;
width – 2.65 m;
weight – 40 t.

If necessary, the length of the transported cargo on the rear side of the vehicle can be increased to 2 m, while the presence of identification marks is a mandatory condition for transportation.

For passenger cars

If the cargo exceeds the length of a passenger car by 1 m and the width by 0.4 m, it must also be marked with a special sign or a piece of red material. When transporting in the dark, an additional lamp or sign made of reflective material should be installed. It is prohibited to transport cargo whose height (from the road level) exceeds 4 m, and whose weight exceeds the values established by the vehicle manufacturer.

“Oversized cargo” sign - dimensions

An identification sign indicating the transportation of oversized cargo by vehicles is called “Oversized cargo”. The traffic rules determine the dimensions of this sign, which looks like a square with a side length of 0.4 m. Inside it there are white and red stripes alternating at a certain angle, the width of which is 50 mm (GOST R12.4.026-2001).
This sign must be applied to oversized cargo. It can be purchased or made independently in the form of a sticker or pattern made from reflective materials.

Fine for oversize

According to Art. 12.21 of the Traffic Regulations, in case of violation of the rules for transporting goods, the driver may be punished with a warning or fined 500 rubles. This can happen if there is no special sign, the object being transported is not securely fixed on the vehicle, or the cargo makes a lot of noise or generates dust. These penalties apply to owners of vehicles transporting goods that do not require special permission.

If a vehicle carrying an unusual load exceeds the permissible dimensions by no more than 10 cm in the absence of a special permit, or if the dimensions do not exceed by 10 cm the parameters specified in the permit, or if the load on the vehicle axle exceeds the parameters specified in the permit by an amount of 2 to 10%, this entails the imposition of an administrative fine. For drivers, its size is 1-1.5 thousand rubles, for officials - 10-15 thousand rubles, for legal entities - 100-150 thousand rubles. If the above violations are recorded technical means photography and video shooting, the owner of a trucking company can be fined 150 thousand rubles.

If the dimensions of the vehicle exceed the established dimensions by 0.1 m (but not more than 0.2 m), as well as if its weight or axle load exceeds the permissible value by 10% (but not more than 20%) without appropriate permission, the following provisions are provided: fines: for drivers - 3-4 thousand rubles, for officials - 25-30 thousand rubles, for legal entities - 250-300 thousand rubles. In case of photo or video recording, the owner of the vehicle will be fined 300 thousand rubles.

If the dimensions of the vehicle are exceeded by 20 to 50 cm, as well as if the weight or axle load exceeds the permissible by 20-50% without special permission, the following fines are imposed. Drivers – 5-10 thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for a period of 2 to 4 months. Officials responsible for the transportation of oversized items can be fined 35-40 thousand rubles, legal entities - from 350 to 400 thousand rubles. For photo or video recording of violations, the fine will be 400 thousand for legal entities.

If the dimensions of the vehicle exceed the permissible values by 50 cm, and also if its mass or axial load is more than 50% of the designated norm, with the appropriate permit, the driver will be fined 7-10 thousand rubles or deprived of his license for a period of 4 to 6 months . For officials, a fine of 45-50 thousand rubles is provided, and for legal entities - 400-500 thousand rubles (for photo or video recording of a violation - 500 thousand).

If the shipper provides inaccurate information about the dimensions, weight, transportation route of the cargo, and also does not indicate the number and date of the special permit, penalties for drivers will amount to 1-1.5 thousand rubles. The fine for officials is 15-20 thousand rubles, for legal entities - 200-300 thousand rubles.

If the permissible weight, axle load of the vehicle, and dimensions exceed the values specified in the permit, individual entrepreneurs or the legal entity will be punished in the form of penalties. For individual entrepreneurs, their size will be 80-100 thousand rubles, for carrier companies - 250-400 thousand rubles.

If you fail to comply with the requirements of mandatory road signs that prohibit the movement of vehicles whose mass or axle load does not correspond to those specified, the administrative fine will be 5 thousand rubles.

When is it not allowed to transport oversized goods by road?

There are certain situations in which transportation of heavy and oversized cargo is not permitted. The rules for transporting oversized cargo prohibit:

exceed the established speed of vehicles;
independently change the established route;
transport cargo in icy conditions;
transport oversized items without permitting documentation and passes;
move along roadsides without special permission;
stop vehicles on roads in violation of traffic rules;
transport goods using a faulty vehicle.

Carriers are required to strictly comply with the rules for transporting oversized and heavy cargo. This will avoid paying significant fines, ensure the safety of road users and the quality of delivery.

Any of our vehicles from time to time transports not only passengers, but also cargo. At the same time, it is good if the cargo fits in the body or trunk, and sometimes it is necessary to transport large cargo. And this is where the question arises: how to transport cargo without incurring a fine. And if there is a fine, what will it be? This is what we will talk about.

Rules for the carriage of goods (speaking)

Before “diving” into the depths of all kinds of rules and laws, let’s immediately say that we will be interested in cases concerning the transportation of goods up to certain sizes, that is, we will not touch upon the topic of transportation of large-sized cargo. Let's begin.
The first thing you should turn to is the traffic rules. There are 2 points worth quoting here:

23.4. A load protruding beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front or behind by more than 1 m or on the side by more than 0.4 m from the outer edge of the side light must be marked with the identification signs “Large load”, and in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility In addition, there is a white light or reflector in front, and a red light or reflector in the back.

A picture like this would be appropriate here. If the cargo is up to and including the specified dimensions, then a sign is not needed.

Here we can say that if you violated the rules for transporting non-large 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 “got out” beyond these limits, then we hang up a sign, or rather a “Large cargo” sign. 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 side lights, the vehicle will be large?
Well, let's turn to Federal Law 257 and find a definition for a large vehicle.

large-sized vehicle - a vehicle whose dimensions with or without cargo exceed the permissible 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 traffic regulations, the cargo is considered oversized

In this case, large cargo of certain sizes must be transported according to the rules, in accordance with clause 23.5 of the traffic rules. Let us quote this point as well.

23.5. Transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, movement of a vehicle whose overall dimensions, 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 roadway, and 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 overall dimensions 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 transportation rules established by international treaties of the Russian Federation.

Please note that we have not only one size left, when the load outreach from the rear is more than 1 meter, but up to 2 meters. In this case, cargo of this size is not required to be transported according to the rules, but it is necessary to attach the “Large Cargo” sign 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 in the back, then even if it is a large cargo, it is transported without special rules, that is, only in accordance with traffic regulations.
If the dimensions are more than that, then here according to federal law Russian Federation dated 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 transporting large-sized cargo along highways without special permits.
We will not talk about these permits, that is, as we said right at the beginning of our article, we only touch upon cases for ordinary motorists, and not for professional carriers. Let's tell you better about the fine if your cargo extends beyond the limits indicated in the last picture.

Fine for transporting protruding cargo (Article 12.21 and 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)

Here we have three options regarding what the fine for the cargo may be. The first is when violated traffic rules requirements for cargo transportation:

Does not restrict the driver's visibility;
- does not complicate control and does not affect the stability of the vehicle;
- does not cover external lighting devices and reflectors, registration and identification marks, and does not interfere with the perception of hand signals;
- does not create noise, does not generate dust, does not pollute the road or the environment.

The second is when it is necessary to install a “Large cargo” sign if the cargo protrudes beyond the rear clearance 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 transporting 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 is when the cargo is large and, moreover, requires special permission, that is, it goes beyond 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 size exceeds no more than 10 cm (without a formalized permit available) - 1000-1500 rubles (individuals) (part 1);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 10-20 cm (without a formalized permit available) - 3000-4000 rubles (individuals) (part 2);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 20-50 cm (without a formalized permit available) - 5000-10000 rubles (individuals) (part 3);
- if the size exceeds more than 50 cm (without or with a formalized permit) - 7,000-10,000 rubles (individuals) or deprivation from 4 to 6 months (part 6).

In fact, 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 a vehicle when transporting protruding cargo

It is noteworthy that for a violation under Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, that is, for our third case, detention may be used. This possibility is spelled out in Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Moreover, if your car cannot be loaded onto a tow truck, they can simply install blocking devices. We read 27.13 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

...If it is impossible technical specifications of a vehicle, its movement and placement in a specialized parking lot in the event of an administrative offense provided for in 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 using blockers devices.

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

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

If you still failed to avoid a fine, then you should not forget about Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Thanks to it, respectable motorists have the opportunity to pay a fine with a 50 percent discount. This article allows you to receive a kind of “discount” if the fine is paid within the period from the moment it appears in the traffic police fines database, but no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.
