Note:

By decision of the executive authorities of the subjects Russian Federation the specified age limit may be reduced, but not more than 2 years, and a procedure should be established providing for the availability of bicycles, mopeds and horse-drawn carts(sleigh) a document confirming their knowledge of the Rules and the Basic Provisions, and these vehicles have a special registration plate.

Bicycles, mopeds, horse-drawn carts (sleighs), riding and pack animals must move only in the rightmost lane in one row, as far as possible to the right. Driving on the side of the road is allowed if it does not interfere with pedestrians.

Columns of cyclists, horse-drawn carts (sledges), riding and pack animals when moving along the roadway must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists, riding and pack animals and 5 carts (sledges). To facilitate overtaking, the distance between groups should be 80–100 m.

turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in a given direction.

It is forbidden to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as bicycles and mopeds, except for towing a trailer intended for use with a bicycle or moped.

At an unregulated intersection of a cycle path with a road located outside the intersection, cyclists and moped drivers must give way to vehicles moving along this road. animal by the bridle

Animals on the road should be distilled, as a rule, during daylight hours. Drivers must guide the animals as close to the right side of the road as possible.

When driving animals across railway tracks, the herd must be divided into groups of such a size that, taking into account the number of drivers, the safe passage of each group is ensured.

Drivers of horse-drawn carts (sledges), drivers of pack, riding animals and livestock are prohibited from:

leave animals on the road without supervision;

drive animals across railway tracks and roads outside specially designated areas, as well as in dark time days and in conditions of insufficient visibility (except for cattle passes at different levels);

Good afternoon, dear reader.

As soon as sufficiently warm weather sets in over the central part of Russia, the number of two-wheeled vehicles increases significantly. Hundreds of drivers of bicycles and mopeds appear on the city streets and pour into the dense traffic flow.

In my experience, at least 80 percent of non-licensed two-wheelers have absolutely no idea about and hit the road completely unprepared.

Traffic rules for bicycles

Consider traffic rules for bicycles. With a cursory review of the text, it may seem that traffic rules for cyclists are concentrated exclusively in section 24 of the rules "". However, in reality, things are completely different.

In the rules of the road, there are several types of road users to which a particular paragraph of the rules may apply. Among others, this motor vehicle, vehicle and driver. An unpowered bicycle is not a motorized vehicle, but all the points relating to drivers and vehicles apply to cyclists as well.

Attention! Rules relating to pedestrians do not apply to cyclists. They apply only to persons riding a bicycle.

In this way most traffic rules apply to cyclists, including the special 24 section. I will not disassemble and explain absolutely everything for cyclists in this article. The interested reader can do it himself. I will focus only on those points of the rules that are most often violated by cyclists.

Technical condition of the bike

2.3. The driver of the vehicle must:

2.3.1. Before leaving, check and ensure the correct technical condition of the vehicle on the way in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles for operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety (hereinafter - the Basic Provisions).

Do not drive in the event of a malfunction working brake system, steering, a coupling device (as part of a road train), unlit (absent) headlights and tail lights at night or in conditions of insufficient visibility, an inactive windshield wiper on the driver's side during rain or snowfall.

So the rules of the road ban cycling, which has malfunctions of the service brake system or steering. And it's not just about riding a bike with a broken handlebar or brakes.

There are "passionate" cyclists who try to reduce the weight of the bike in all sorts of ways. Including in the course is the removal of brakes and other structural elements. Punishment for such a violation is provided for by the Code of Administrative Offenses and will be discussed at the end of the article.

Alcoholic intoxication of a cyclist

Movement of cyclists over 14 years of age possibly in descending order:

1. On cycle paths, cycle paths or cycle lanes.
2. On the right side of the road.
3. Along the side.
4. On a sidewalk or footpath.

Please note that each subsequent item in the above list implies that there are no previous items.

For example, you can drive along the side of the road (paragraph 3) only if there is no cycle path or lane, and also if there is no possibility of moving along the right edge of the carriageway.

In addition, there are a few exceptions:

• You can ride on the carriageway if the width of the bike or load exceeds 1 meter.
• You can drive on the carriageway if the movement is carried out in columns.
• You can ride on the sidewalk or footpath if you are accompanying a cyclist under the age of 14 or carrying a child under the age of 7.

When driving on the roadway, the following points of the rules should be borne in mind:

24.5. When cyclists move along the right edge of the carriageway in the cases provided for by these Rules, cyclists must move only in one row.

A column of cyclists is allowed to move in two rows if the overall width of the bicycles does not exceed 0.75 m.

The column of cyclists must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists in the case of a single-lane movement or into groups of 10 pairs in the case of a two-lane movement. To facilitate overtaking, the distance between groups should be 80 - 100 m.

Additional Information:

Movement of cyclists aged 7 to 14 possible on sidewalks, pedestrian, bicycle and bicycle paths, as well as within pedestrian zones.

Please note that "school cyclists" are not allowed to ride on bike lanes, carriageway and roadside.

Movement of cyclists under the age of 7 possible only together with pedestrians (on sidewalks, pedestrian and bicycle paths, pedestrian zones).

Thus, at present, the movement of cyclists is possible, including on sidewalks and roadsides. In this case, the rules of the cyclist impose additional requirements:

24.6. If the movement of a cyclist on a sidewalk, footpath, curb or within pedestrian zones endangers or interferes with the movement of other persons, the cyclist must dismount and be guided by the requirements provided for in these Rules for the movement of pedestrians.

I note that when driving on sidewalks, footpaths, roadsides and pedestrian zones, a cyclist should not interfere with the movement of other persons. If necessary, the cyclist must get off the bike and continue as a pedestrian.

Let's consider an interesting example. Suppose a car (in some cases it is allowed by the rules) and a cyclist are driving on the sidewalk. If a collision (accident) occurs, then both road users will be to blame for it. If the cyclist walks along the sidewalk, then he will not be to blame for the accident (he will not pay for car repairs).

Thus, paragraph 24.6 emphasizes that in the case sidewalk accident one of his culprits in any case will be a cyclist.

Dedicated lanes for cyclists

In 2019, on the roads you can find dedicated lanes for cyclists, marked with special signs:

These lanes are restricted to bicycles and mopeds.

Dedicated lanes for public transport

In addition, in 2019, cyclists can also use dedicated lanes for public transport. Clause 18.2 of the Rules:

18.2. On roads with a lane for route vehicles, marked with signs 5.11.1, 5.13.1, 5.13.2, 5.14, it is prohibited to move and stop other vehicles (with the exception of school buses and vehicles used as passenger taxis, as well as cyclists - if the lane for route vehicles is located on the right) on this lane.

Please note that a cyclist can enter a public transport lane only if this lane is marked with one of the signs listed above. In addition, there should not be additional conditions prohibiting entry to the specified lane.

For example, in some Russian cities the movement is organized as follows. In fact, the road has a dedicated lane for route vehicles and all traffic participants understand this. However, from the point of view of traffic rules, the lane is not indicated by the signs listed above. Just at the entrance to it, a sign 3.1 "brick" is installed.

The requirements of this sign can be ignored only by public transport drivers. The rest of the vehicles, including cyclists, cannot pass under the "brick".

Additional Information:

Cycling areas

On December 14, 2018, the concept of "Bicycle zone" appeared in the rules of the road. The following road signs are used to indicate the bike zone:

Not only cyclists, but also motor vehicles (cars) can move along the bicycle zone. In this case, the following rules must be observed:

• Cyclists have priority over cars.
• Cyclists can move along the entire passing side of the carriageway, and not just at the right edge.
• Bicyclists are not prohibited from turning left and making U-turns on wide roads.
• The speed limit is 20 km/h.
• Pedestrians can cross the road anywhere, but they do not have an advantage.

More detailed information about bicycle zones is given in the following article:

Bicycle riders must yield to pedestrians at crossings

14.1. The driver of a vehicle approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing must give way to pedestrians crossing the road or entering the carriageway (tram tracks) to make the crossing.

A bicycle, like any other vehicle, must slow down or stop before crossing to let pedestrians through.

Lights for bicycles

At night, the bicycle must have headlights or lights on, and during daylight hours, dipped headlights or daytime running lights:

19.1. At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, regardless of road lighting, as well as in tunnels, a moving vehicle must turn on the following lighting devices:

on all motor vehicles and mopeds - high or low beam headlights, on bicycles - headlights or lanterns, on horse-drawn carts - lanterns (if any);

19.5. During daylight hours, all moving vehicles must turn on dipped beam headlights or daytime running lights to identify them.

So far, I have not met a single cyclist who uses low beam headlights or daytime running lights when driving during the day. In this regard, traffic police officers can impose a fine on almost any bicycle driver.

Age to ride a bike

Bicycling is allowed at any age. However, depending on the age, the rules for cycling differ (this was discussed above).

Movement on the carriageway of roads is possible only from from 14 years old.

Prohibitions for cyclists

24.8. Cyclists and moped drivers are prohibited from:

• ride a bicycle, moped without holding the steering wheel with at least one hand;
• transport cargo that protrudes more than 0.5 m in length or width beyond the dimensions, or cargo that interferes with control;
• to transport passengers, if this is not provided for by the design of the vehicle;
• transport children under 7 years of age in the absence of specially equipped places for them;
• turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in this direction (except when turning left from the right lane is allowed, and with the exception of roads located in bicycle zones);
• move on the road without a fastened motorcycle helmet (for moped drivers);
• cross the road at pedestrian crossings.

24.9. It is prohibited to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as towing by bicycles and mopeds, except for towing a trailer intended for use with a bicycle or moped.

From this list, the following points should be noted:

1. Bicycle riders are prohibited from turning left and turning around on roads with more than one lane in a given direction. Those. a left turn in the city is prohibited for a cyclist on almost all major streets.

Note. This requirement does not apply to cycling zones, as well as on roads where a left turn is allowed from the rightmost lane.

In practice, we can offer the following way out of this situation. The cyclist leaves his vehicle and becomes a pedestrian. Then he crosses the intersection in the required direction on the pedestrian crossing. After that, he again sits on the bike and continues to move along the roadway or roadside.

So the fines for cyclists are currently nothing compared to (30,000 rubles for driving while intoxicated). In addition, the advantage of cyclists on the road is that they are rarely fined for violating traffic rules. And this, in turn, leads to the fact that most of the "two-wheeled" behave unpredictably on the road, provoking the emergence of dangerous situations.

On this consideration of the features it's finished. Once again I remind you that every cyclist needs to read at least once full version.

Well, in conclusion, I suggest you watch a short video that clearly demonstrates what a violation of traffic rules for cyclists can lead to:

Good luck on the roads!

You cannot drive on the sidewalk if there is a roadway not occupied by parked cars.

You can ride on the sidewalk when transporting or accompanying a child. If you are traveling alone, you should drive on the road.

It is possible to drive on the lane allocated for public transport.

Only if there are no signs prohibiting movement on it above the selected lane. For example, in our city, a “No Entry” sign (brick) has been additionally installed above the dedicated lanes, and in this case it is impossible to drive along such lanes.

Good luck on the roads!

Ivan, You're not right.

The Code of Administrative Offenses has its own definition of a vehicle, it is given in a note to.

Note. In this article, a vehicle should be understood as a motor vehicle with a working volume of an internal combustion engine of more than 50 cubic centimeters or a maximum electric motor power of more than 4 kilowatts and a maximum design speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, as well as trailers for it, subject to state registration, and in other Articles of this chapter also include tractors, self-propelled road-building and other self-propelled vehicles, vehicles for which a special right is granted in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on road safety.

In the Code of Administrative Offenses, bicycles are not vehicles.

Regarding connections. Attach a diagram of the section of the road you are interested in. Let's see how we can get there. Unfortunately, you can ride a bike far from everywhere and not always.

Good luck on the roads!

I repeat, it is written clearly "Please note that each subsequent item in the above list implies that the previous items are missing." There is NO choice.

And the tragedy is that I do not have the right, in PRINCIPLE, to move along the ROAD and ALL pedestrian zones.

Well, the argument "break as you like, until you get fined" looks quite interesting on this forum))).

remember once and for all rule point 1.5

and always move in such a way that it is done

by car by veles

Let me give you just a few examples, and then you yourself BUT ONLY A QUOTE FROM SDA will try to refute them. How will they shoot me down in a few minutes.

3. The right edge of the carriageway is broken and there are numerous damages to the road surface.

Evdokimov

Eugene-249, I agree with your logic, because I myself follow the same.

The reason, in my opinion: a legal hole. Namely, - the circumstances characterizing the ABSENCE OF THE POSSIBILITY to move along the right edge of the carriageway are not described. For example:

1. Parked cars give "lack of opportunity ..."?

2. Do drain wells with longitudinal ribs give?

3. Do they provide pits and ditches?

In general, only case law will help us. Well, God forbid we form it with you))

Alexander-655

3. The quote you provided is a free interpretation of the rules, not a quote from the rules.

Maxim, may have already mentioned, but I will just say this. As practice shows, even if this was a direct quote from the rules, for some reason I am more than sure that at least half of the pedestrians would still be proudly laid on it from a high bell tower. Because until now, a considerable number of pedestrians still have the habit of crossing the roadway in the wrong place, for example, although I myself sometimes do this. Well, or to red (I don’t turn to red myself, except if I only see that there is not a single car / motorcycle within a radius of 100 meters). But also for the sake of truth I will say that both I and most of those who do began to at least look around more carefully before doing it in a dive so that there was a safe window for everyone at that moment to cross. Therefore, that this quote is, that it is not, it would hardly change anything cardinally.

With a slight movement of the foot, without pedaling, but standing on one of the pedals, I turn the bike into ... a scooter.

There is no transverse cross, only getting off the bike according to paragraphs.

There is an expression "loophole in the law". And if the law is bad, then it is quite justified to use this loophole. The width of the pedestrian crossing \u003d the width of the zebra markings, and there is always a distance between the zebra and the stop line - this is, literally and figuratively, a loophole for cycling. On the one hand, pedestrians with an arc line of stops cover you.

This experience was shared by sclar

Stas, hello.

If there are no other conditions prohibiting movement near the pedestrian crossing (solid markings, for example), then you can go there. However, you will not have any advantage in this case, and in the event of an accident, you will pay for car repairs.

Good luck on the roads!

torture, there is no federal law against storing a bicycle in an apartment. I haven't heard of such a regional law either.

Only if in your house the owners of the apartments decided at a general meeting that the storage of bicycles in a residential building is prohibited and, for example, allocated a separate non-residential premises for this. Although this is an extremely rare case.

Good luck on the roads!

And if another gets caught, he will knock him down and knock out a fine. So save up cash.

I’ll tell you more, even when riding on the sidewalk, if a cyclist gets into an accident with a car leaving (into) the yard, the fault will be either mutual or on the cyclist-violation of clause 24.6 (depends on the speed of the bike, view, etc. - the court decides) , there were precedents.

Conclusion, as we wrote earlier, EVERYWHERE must be driven in compliance with paragraph 1.5 "Road users must act in such a way as not to endanger traffic and not cause harm ..."

And in particular, when crossing the road at a reasonable speed next to a pedestrian crossing, I must make sure that there is cover for pedestrians and whether or not a turning car passes me.

And it is also desirable that there are no complaints from the traffic police inspectors and vigilant citizens that I am violating traffic rules.

ps An exercise for fans of "not riding, but fidgeting", sitting at a computer on a saddle chair, you do not just sit, but periodically, about once every 2 minutes, get up and make a circle around the room (for 2 minutes a cyclist when riding on the sidewalk at a speed of 10 km / h travels 330 meters (approximate distance between intersections).

This procedure will be especially useful for lawmakers who come up with laws for cyclists.

Signs 3.2 - 3.9, 3.32 and 3.33 prohibit the movement of the respective types of vehicles in both directions.

Those. if the sign is installed to the right of the carriageway, then movement along the entire carriageway is prohibited.

GOST R 52289-2004 gives the following information about sign 3.9:

5.4.29. Signs 3.2 - 3.9, 3.32 and 3.33 are installed at each entrance to a section of road or territory where the movement of the corresponding types of vehicles is prohibited. Before side exits to the road, signs are used with one of the plates 8.3.1 - 8.3.3.

There is no additional information on this sign in the regulatory documents.

If stick general principles installation of prohibition signs, they prohibit movement to their left. That is, if there is a sidewalk to the right of the sign, then you can drive along it.

Difficulty can arise if the sidewalk is adjacent to the roadway, and the poles are installed to the right of the sidewalk. In this case, the sign is located to the right of the entire road and an incomprehensible situation arises. If you are faced with a similar situation in practice, then it makes sense to write an appeal to the traffic police with a request to clarify the traffic order or change the traffic pattern on this section of the road.

Good luck on the roads!

A cyclist is prohibited from turning left or turning around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in a given direction.

Your comment says that almost nowhere you can turn left. Why? This direction is a left turn or U-turn. If the roadway has 3 lanes in each direction, and a left turn (and a U-turn, if not prohibited) is allowed only from the left lane, where is it written that you cannot turn from the third lane? In this direction only from one lane. Either the rules are written crookedly, or those who read them do not understand what is written. Read carefully. For those who turn left, the direction straight or right is not a given. It is generally absent for him, he does not go there.

Where is it written that you can not turn from the third lane?

Paragraph 24.2 prohibits driving away from the right edge of the drive if the movement is carried out on the carriageway.

This direction is a left turn or U-turn

No, such a direction in the SDA is called the "intended direction of movement" (see "passing through intersections": "go in the intended direction"). "Lane in this direction" refers to all lanes for moving forward, no matter forward-left, forward-straight, or forward-right. The "lanes of this direction" are not only the "lanes of the opposite direction" and the dividing strip, but at the intersections there are also intersected ones.

Dmitry-484

Barkhudarov, you are right - traffic rules for cyclists are written by people who not only do not ride bicycles, but also apparently hate cyclists. First of all, everything is done for motorists, because the strongest and richest are primarily motorists. There are already rumors that the rights for cyclists will be introduced. Instead of reining in motorists who have become insolent to the limit, who not only massively violate rights, but in some cases deliberately try to set up a cyclist - they cut off, do not turn on the right turn signal.

Hello! About dismounting at a regulated intersection, about which they wrote a couple of posts ago, to be honest, I did not find it. But I wanted to ask about something else.

1. Does the requirement of paragraph 24.2 to move on the right edge mean that it is mandatory to move to the right if the signs / markings from the right lane allow only to the right? Judging by the context of clauses 24.8 and 8.5, probably not. After all, 24.8 does not prohibit left on single-lane doors, and 8.5 requires you to take an extreme position, not a lane, but a position. That is, it is allowed to leave from the right edge if necessary, and therefore change lanes from which you can go straight, if from the right only to the right.

2. Clause 24.2 allows movement along the side of the road only if it is impossible to move along the right edge of the IF, although for mopeds and horse-drawn carts the old wording "driving along the side of the road is allowed if it does not interfere with pedestrians." It would not be better to keep this in paragraph 24.2,

2. It is better to send such proposals directly to the Government of the Russian Federation, because It is the employees of this department who are involved in the drafting of the text of traffic rules.

3. An interesting question. Paragraph 24.11 refers to the priority of cyclists over mechanical vehicles. This paragraph does not say anything about priority at intersections. Therefore, it turns out to be unclear what exactly drivers and cyclists should be guided by at intersections (section 13 or paragraph 24.11).

Good luck on the roads!

Bicycle

The one who "arrived" faster is always to blame. Ride your bike wherever you want, just don’t interfere with anyone on purpose and don’t bump into anyone with a specialist, otherwise you will kill yourself and scratch others. "And where other people's rules begin, your personal freedom ends there"

Not sure if the fault lies entirely with the cyclist. To recover damages - according to Article 1064 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

There used to be a rule that cyclists should move towards the flow, that is, in the opposite direction, whatever. This wonderful rule was canceled ???

Anton-150, p 24.2 SDA admits the movement of cyclists only on the right edge of the inverter.

Adding a comment

Any cyclist, whether he just went out to ride a bike and crosses the street only to get to the park, or got on a bike to go on a long journey, must know and follow the rules of the road. Cyclists should pay particular attention to the requirements of the rules that apply directly to them. Knowing the traffic rules will help not only to avoid troubles on the road, but also to be able to explain which rule the culprit violated if troubles do occur.

Bicycle rule

Paragraph 1.2 of the rules of the road gives the wording of the concept of a bicycle:

"Bicycle" means a vehicle, other than a wheelchair, which has at least two wheels and is generally propelled by the muscular energy of the occupants of the vehicle, in particular by means of pedals or handles, and may also have an electric motor of rated maximum power in continuous load mode not exceeding 0.25 kW, automatically shutting off at speeds over 25 km/h.

From this wording it is clear that the bicycle is primarily a "vehicle". From here it follows that all the points of traffic rules related to vehicles apply to the bicycle.

Also, since April 2014, bicycles can be equipped with an electric motor (up to 0.25 kW), which automatically turns off at speeds over 25 km/h.

The second point of interest to us is:

"Pedestrian" - a person who is outside the vehicle on the road or on a pedestrian or bicycle-pedestrian path and does not work on them. Persons moving in wheelchairs without an engine, driving a bicycle, moped, motorcycle, carrying a sledge, a cart, a children's or wheelchair, as well as using roller skates, scooters and other similar means for movement.

It is worth noting here that a cyclist moving on a bicycle is not a pedestrian. But when he gets off the bike and leads it next to him, he becomes a pedestrian. Accordingly, a cyclist can become a pedestrian at any time and be guided by the rules intended for pedestrians. For example: cross the road at a pedestrian crossing.

Traffic rules for cyclists

It may seem that the basic rules of the road for cyclists are listed in paragraph 24 "Additional requirements for the movement of cyclists and moped drivers", but it's not.

Several road users are listed in the SDA. Each paragraph of the rules may apply to a specific participant in the movement. Other participants include: motor vehicle, vehicle, driver. Bicycles include all points of the rules regarding drivers and vehicles. And when a cyclist gets off the bike and leads it next to him, the rules regarding pedestrians apply.

Consequently most of the rules of the road apply to cyclists and they must comply with them. I will not analyze and explain all the rules, I will list only those that are most often violated by cyclists.

Bicycle serviceability

2.3. The driver of the vehicle must:

2.3.1. Before leaving, check and ensure the correct technical condition of the vehicle on the way in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles for operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety (hereinafter - the Basic Provisions).

It is forbidden to drive if there is a malfunction of the service brake system, steering, coupling device (as part of a road train), off (absent) headlights and tail lights in the dark or in conditions of insufficient visibility, the windshield wiper is inactive on the driver’s side during rain or snowfall.

From this paragraph it follows that it is forbidden to ride a bicycle that has malfunctions of the working brake system, steering. Accordingly, people who reduce the weight of their bike by removing the brakes are violators of traffic rules.

Alcoholic intoxication of a cyclist

Paragraph 2.7 of the SDA prohibits the driving of bicycles by persons in a state of intoxication. It is also forbidden to transfer control of a bicycle to persons in a state of intoxication. From here it follows that if you give your drunk friend a bike to drive to the store, you automatically become a violator.

Turn Signals

8.1. Before starting to move, rebuilding, turning (turning) and stopping, the driver is obliged to give signals with light indicators for the direction of the corresponding direction, and if they are absent or faulty, by hand. When performing a maneuver, there should not be a danger to traffic, as well as obstacles to other road users.

The signal of a left turn (reversal) corresponds to the left arm extended to the side or the right arm extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The right turn signal corresponds to the extended to the side right hand or left, extended to the side and bent at the elbow at a right angle upwards. The brake signal is given by the left or right hand raised up.

Since bicycles do not have turn signal lights, it is the responsibility of the cyclist to give hand signals before starting, changing lanes, turning and stopping.

It is better to give signals with your hand outstretched to the side, this signal is understood by all drivers, and the signal bent arm at the elbow can be misleading to some.

You should signal well in advance of the start of the turn, and return your hand to the steering wheel just before the turn.

Signals must be given carefully. It is better to practice on a level surface first Do not press the brake lever while giving a signal and avoid getting the wheel into the pits, both of which can lead to a fall.

Where to ride a bike

The latest changes in the traffic rules in force since April 2014 assign 6 points to the movement of cyclists at once 24 sections of the rules of the road (24.1-24.6).

Cyclists over the age of 14 are allowed to drive:

• On bicycle, cycle and pedestrian paths or lanes for cyclists.
• On the right side of the road.
• Along the side.
• On a sidewalk or footpath.

Please note that each subsequent item allows movement only if the previous item is missing. For example, you can drive along the side of the road only if there is no bike path or lanes, as well as when it is impossible to drive along the edge of the carriageway.

There are also exceptions:

• You can ride on the carriageway if the width of the bike or load exceeds 1 meter.
• You can drive on the carriageway if the movement is carried out in columns.
• You can ride on the sidewalk or footpath if you are accompanying a cyclist under the age of 7 or carrying a child under the age of 7.

When driving on the road, you need to remember the following points of the rules:

24.5. When cyclists move along the right edge of the carriageway in the cases provided for by these Rules, cyclists must move only in one row.

A column of cyclists is allowed to move in two rows if the overall width of the bicycles does not exceed 0.75 m.

The column of cyclists must be divided into groups of 10 cyclists in the case of a single-lane movement or into groups of 10 pairs in the case of a two-lane movement. To facilitate overtaking, the distance between groups should be 80 - 100 m.

Traffic cyclists aged 7 to 14 possible on sidewalks, pedestrian, bicycle, bicycle and pedestrian paths, as well as within pedestrian zones. But they are not allowed to ride on bike lanes, roadways and roadsides.

The movement of cyclists on sidewalks and roadsides is possible, but you must remember the additional requirements:

24.6. If the movement of a cyclist on a sidewalk, footpath, curb or within pedestrian zones endangers or interferes with the movement of other persons, the cyclist must dismount and be guided by the requirements provided for in these Rules for the movement of pedestrians.

When driving on sidewalks, roadsides and pedestrian zones, cyclists must not interfere with other persons. Otherwise, he must dismount from the bicycle and continue on foot.

For example: a car is driving on the sidewalk (in some cases this is allowed) and a cyclist, both drivers will be found guilty in a collision, and if the cyclist carries the bike nearby, then the car driver will be guilty, respectively, the cyclist will not need to pay for car repairs.

Paragraph 24.6 indicates that in case of an accident on the sidewalk, the cyclist will, in any case, be recognized as one of the culprits.

Cyclists and pedestrians at crossings

14.1. The driver of a vehicle approaching an unregulated pedestrian crossing (the concepts of regulated and unregulated pedestrian crossings are similar to the concepts of regulated and unregulated intersections established in paragraph 13.3. of the Rules) is obliged to slow down or stop before the crossing in order to let pass pedestrians crossing the carriageway or entering it to make the transition.

Bicycles are required to allow pedestrians at crossings, like all other vehicles.

Bicycle lighting

In the dark, the headlights and side lights should be on the bike, and in the daytime, the dipped headlights:

19.1. At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, regardless of road lighting, as well as in tunnels, a moving vehicle must turn on the following lighting devices:

on all motor vehicles and mopeds - high or low beam headlights, on bicycles - headlights or lanterns, on horse-drawn carts - lanterns (if any);

19.5. During daylight hours, all moving vehicles must turn on dipped beam headlights or daytime running lights to identify them.

An incomprehensible rule, I have not seen a single cyclist with their headlights on during the day. Therefore, the traffic police inspector can fine any cyclist.

Age of the cyclist

Since April 2014, you can ride a bike at any age. But depending on the age, the rules for cycling change (see above)

You can only drive on the carriageway from the age of 14.

Cyclists are not allowed

24.8. Cyclists and moped drivers are prohibited from:

ride a bicycle, moped without holding the steering wheel with at least one hand;

transport cargo that protrudes more than 0.5 m in length or width beyond the dimensions, or cargo that interferes with control;

to transport passengers, if this is not provided for by the design of the vehicle;

transport children under 7 years of age in the absence of specially equipped places for them;

turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane for traffic in this direction;

drive on the road without a fastened motorcycle helmet (for moped drivers).

24.9. It is prohibited to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as towing by bicycles and mopeds, except for towing a trailer intended for use with a bicycle or moped.

These rules follow:

1. If there is more than one lane for traffic in a given direction on the road, the cyclist is prohibited from turning around and turning left on it. It turns out that in the city it is forbidden for a cyclist to turn left on almost all major streets. But the cyclist can always get off the bike and become a pedestrian, cross the street at the crossing and continue on.
2. It is forbidden to tow bicycles and mopeds, as well as bicycles and mopeds. This rule is also often violated.
3. Bicycle riders are required to wear a helmet. But I believe that a helmet must be worn, because in any, even the most harmless, situation, troubles can occur and protection can save your health.

Cyclists most often violate

Most often, cyclists violate the rules prohibiting movement towards vehicles and movement on pedestrian crossings. It must be remembered that bicycles are faster than pedestrians and car drivers do not always have time to notice the appearance of a cyclist at the crossing, which leads to an accident. Moreover, the driver of the car will not be guilty in this case, since he is obliged to let pass only pedestrians. So whatever the outcome of the collision, the cyclist will have to pay for car repairs.

Fines for violation of traffic rules by cyclists

It should be noted that, unlike the rules of the road, in the Code of Administrative Offenses, a bicycle is not a vehicle (note 1 to article 12.1)

1. In this article, a motor vehicle with an engine capacity of more than 50 cubic centimeters and a maximum design speed of more than 50 kilometers per hour, as well as trailers for it, subject to state registration, and in other articles of this Chapter also tractors, others self-propelled road-building and other vehicles, trams, trolleybuses.

Accordingly, the provisions of Article 12 cannot be applied to bicycles.

A separate article of the Code of Administrative Offenses is intended for cyclists, which provides for the following penalties for violating the rules:

Article 12.29. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a pedestrian or other person participating in the process of road traffic

2. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a person driving a moped, a bicycle, or by a cart driver or another person directly involved in the process of road traffic (with the exception of the persons specified in Part 1 of this Article, as well as the driver of a power-driven vehicle), -

eight hundred rubles.

3. Violation of the Rules of the road by persons specified in part 2 of this article, committed in a state of intoxication -

.

Consequently, almost any violation of the rules of the road by a cyclist is punishable by a fine of 800 rubles. But, if it is allowed in a state of alcoholic intoxication, it is punishable by a fine from 1000 to 1500 rubles .

In addition to this article in the Code of Administrative Offenses, there is another article applicable to cyclists:

Article 12.30. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a pedestrian or other road user, resulting in the creation of obstacles in the movement of vehicles or the infliction of minor or moderate harm to the health of the victim

1. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a pedestrian, a passenger of a vehicle, or another participant in the road traffic (except for the driver of a vehicle), which has caused obstruction in the movement of vehicles, -

entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.

2. Violation of the Rules of the Road by a pedestrian, a passenger of a vehicle, or another participant in the road traffic (except for the driver of a vehicle), which negligently entailed the infliction of slight or moderate harm to the health of the victim, -

entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles.

Accordingly, if a cyclist violates traffic rules and interferes with traffic, he should be punished with a fine. 1000 rubles .

And if the cyclist commits a violation resulting in causing slight or moderate harm to the health of another participant in the movement, then a fine should be imposed on him 1000 - 1500 rubles.

Every cyclist must know and follow the rules of the road. In addition to ensuring your own safety, following traffic rules changes the attitude of other people towards cyclists. Cyclists should be looked at not as rabid hooligans, but as full-fledged members of society. And it depends on how they behave on the roads.

And I repeat that this article does not cover all articles of the rules of the road, but most of them apply to cyclists. I strongly recommend that every cyclist read them at least once.

The most common violations of the rules by cyclists are facing vehicles, cycling on a pedestrian crossing, and running a red light.
Also, we, cyclists, must ride with headlights / lanterns / dimensions at ANY TIME of the DAY. Even on a sunny day.
Is it necessary to remind about the fact that we must give way to pedestrians at pedestrian crossings? And don't obstruct when driving on the sidewalk.

It is also often argued whether one can ride on the pavement. CAN!

I quote traffic rules:

24.2. Cyclists over the age of 14 are allowed:
on the sidewalk or footpath - in the following cases:
there are no bicycle and bicycle paths, a lane for cyclists, or there is no possibility to move along them, as well as along the right edge of the carriageway or roadside;
the cyclist accompanies a cyclist under the age of 7 or transports a child under the age of 7 in an extra seat, in a cycle carriage or in a trailer designed to be used with a bicycle.”

That is, if there is no bike path, cars “fly” and there are many parked in the right lane, then why not “there is no opportunity to move along them”? ..

Traffic rules for bicycles In short, I would put it like this:

1) It is forbidden to move if the working brake system, steering, coupling device (as part of a road train), non-burning (absent) headlights and rear position lights are malfunctioning at night or in conditions of insufficient visibility;
2) Paragraph 2.7 of the traffic rules prohibits driving a bicycle to persons in a state of intoxication, as well as transferring control to persons in a state of intoxication;
3) Bicycles, mopeds, horse-drawn carts (sledges), saddle and pack animals must move only in one row as far as possible to the right. Driving on the side of the road is allowed if it does not interfere with pedestrians.
4) 19.1. At night and in conditions of insufficient visibility, regardless of the lighting of the road, as well as in tunnels, the following lighting devices must be switched on on a moving vehicle: on all motor vehicles and mopeds - high or low beam headlights, on bicycles - headlights or lanterns, on horse-drawn carts - lanterns (if any);
19.5. During daylight hours on all moving vehicles in order to identify them low beam headlights or daytime running lights must be switched on;
5) Driving on the carriageway is possible only from the age of 14.
6) The most common violations of the rules by cyclists are driving towards vehicles, cycling on a pedestrian crossing and running a red light. Most likely, the drivers of such vehicles simply do not know that they have become drivers, and in their hearts they continue to remain pedestrians.
7) Traffic on motorways is prohibited.
8) Drunk people should not drive a bike, and also give them a bike.
9) Rotate turn left or turn around on roads with tram traffic and on roads with more than one lane to move in that direction;
