Any of our vehicles from time to time transports not only passengers, but also cargo. At the same time, it is good if the goods are placed in the body or trunk, and sometimes it is necessary to transport bulky cargo. And just then the question arises, how to transport the cargo, while not “running into” a fine. And if there is a penalty, what would it be? We will talk about this.

Rules for the carriage of goods (speakers)

Before “diving” into the depths of all kinds of rules and laws, let’s say right away that we will be interested in cases related to the transportation of goods up to certain sizes, that is, we will not touch on the topic of transportation of oversized cargo. What shall we start.
The first thing to address is the traffic rules. There are 2 points worth quoting here:

23.4. Cargo protruding beyond the dimensions of the vehicle in front or behind by more than 1 m or to the side by more than 0.4 m from the outer edge of the marker light must be marked with identification signs "Oversized cargo", and in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility in addition, in front with a lamp or a retroreflector white color, behind - a lantern or a red reflector.

Here's a picture to the place. If the cargo is up to and including the specified dimensions, then the sign is not needed.

Here we can also say that if you violated the rules for transporting exactly non-oversized 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 "crawled out" beyond these limits, then we hang a sign, or rather the sign "Oversized cargo". 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 marker light, the vehicle will be large-sized?
Well, let's turn to 257 FZ, find a definition for a large vehicle.

oversized vehicle - a vehicle, the dimensions of which, with or without cargo, exceed the allowable dimensions established by the Government Russian Federation

If at least one of the dimensions of the vehicle, together with the cargo, exceeds the established value according to the SDA, the cargo is considered bulky

At the same time, bulky cargo of certain sizes must be transported according to the rules, in accordance with clause 23.5 of the SDA. Let's quote this point.

23.5. Transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, the movement of a vehicle, the overall parameters of which, 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 carriageway, 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 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 carried out in accordance with the requirements for vehicles and transportation rules established by international treaties of the Russian Federation.

Please note that we are left with more than one size when the overhang of the cargo from behind is more than 1 meter, but up to 2 meters. In this case, cargo with this size is not required to be transported according to the rules, but it is necessary to attach the sign "Oversized cargo" 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 behind, then even if it is a bulky cargo, it is transported without special rules, that is, only according to traffic rules.
If the dimensions are more than that, then here, according to the federal law of the Russian Federation of November 8, 2007 No. 257-FZ “On highways and on Road Activities in the Russian Federation and on Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation” road users are prohibited from transporting oversized cargo on roads without special permits.
We will not talk about these permissions, that is, as we said right at the beginning of our article, we only cover cases for ordinary motorists, and not for professional carriers. Let's talk better about the fine if your cargo exceeds the limits indicated in the last picture.

Penalty for the carriage of a protruding cargo (Articles 12.21 and 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)

Here you get three options with what the fine for the cargo can be. The first, when the requirements of traffic rules for the carriage of goods are violated:

Does not restrict the driver's view;
- does not complicate management and does not violate the stability of the vehicle;
- does not cover external lighting fixtures and retroreflectors, registration and identification marks, and also does not interfere with the perception of signals given by hand;
- does not create noise, does not produce dust, does not pollute the road and the environment.

The second is when it is necessary to install the “Oversized cargo” sign, if the cargo protrudes beyond the clearance at the back 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 the carriage of 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, when the cargo is bulky, and besides, it requires a special permit, that is, it stands out for 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 dimensions are exceeded by no more than 10 cm (without a issued permit available) - 1000-1500 rubles (individual) (part 1);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 10-20 cm (without a issued permit available) - 3000-4000 rubles (individual) (part 2);
- if the dimensions are exceeded by 20-50 cm (without a issued permit available) - 5000-10000 rubles (individual) (part 3);
- in case of exceeding the size of more than 50 cm (without a issued permit available or with it) - 7000-10000 rubles (individual) or deprivation from 4 to 6 months (part 6).

Actually, 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 the vehicle during the transportation of the protruding cargo

It is noteworthy that for a violation in accordance with Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, that is, for our third case, detention may be applied. This possibility is spelled out in article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. At the same time, if your car cannot be loaded onto a tow truck, then blocking devices can simply be installed. We read 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

... If it is impossible to technical specifications of the vehicle of its movement and placement in a specialized parking lot in the event of an administrative offense provided for by 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 with the help of blocking devices.

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

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

If you still failed to avoid a fine, then do not forget about Article 32.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Thanks to her, respectable motorists have the opportunity to pay a fine with a 50 percent discount. This article allows you to get a kind of "discount" if the fine is paid on time from the moment the traffic police fines appear in the database, but no later than 20 days from the date of the decision.

Question-answer on the topic "Penalty for protruding cargo"

Question: With what protrusion of the load beyond the clearance and clearance lights can you drive “painlessly”, without installing signs?
Answer: Forward and backward no more than 1 meter relative to the clearance, up to 4 meters and on the sides no more than 0.4 meters relative to the side marker light.

Question: Up to what size can you carry a protruding load from the rear without a special permit?
Answer: Up to 2 meters, while from the protrusion of the cargo from 1 meter to 2, it will be necessary to hang the sign "Oversized cargo".

Regardless of the type of vehicle, sometimes you need to transfer something that exceeds its dimensions or permitted weight. In order to avoid problems, you need to know in which case it is considered a violation, when it is necessary to hang the appropriate sign and what are the dimensions of the sign " oversized cargo”, as well as the degree of responsibility of the driver who does not comply with the norms. So, we analyze the question “Oversized cargo: dimensions, traffic rules requirements”.

What is oversized cargo

The traffic rules describe two options: items that go beyond the dimensions of the car, or exceed the maximum weight allowed for transportation. The dimensions of oversized cargo according to traffic rules are determined as follows:

• The load in front or behind protrudes 100 cm or more.
• Protrudes from the side: from 40 cm.

For trucks, the following parameters are considered non-standard:

• Vehicle height over 2.5 m.
• Weight - over 38 tons.
• Length - from 24 m.
• Width - from 2.55 m.

Installation of the sign according to the requirements

If it became necessary to transfer a non-standard size cargo (oversized) on a passenger car, the requirements of the traffic rules state that it is necessary to fix it so that it does not interfere with the driver’s view, cannot slip and does not touch the road. It is forbidden to transport objects larger than 2.55 m wide and 2.5 m long on a passenger car. For violation of this rule, the driver can be deprived of the rights for six months.

When transporting a protruding object, it is necessary to attach a special sign to the body or other places visible to other road users. The dimensions of the “oversized cargo” sign according to GOST are 40 * 40 cm. This metal shield must have red and white stripes painted on it, located diagonally. You can also use not a shield, but a special sticker.

In addition, in order to comply with the dimensions of the “oversized cargo” sign, you need to make sure that its surface is reflective. This is necessary to prevent emergency when transported in the dark. In this case, it is worth additionally hanging reflectors (red and white, respectively).

For a truck, in addition to a similar designation, other, special ones are also used: large size, long length, road train.

Penalties for violations

For non-compliance with the rules regarding the size of the load or its improper fastening, which threatens to cause an emergency on the road, the driver is responsible. The fine for oversized cargo in length and for violation of the rules for securing it is 2.5 thousand rubles.

If such placement or excess weight on freight transport is allowed by an authorized employee of the company, a fine is charged from him in the amount of 15-20 thousand rubles. Legal entities are already fined for 400-500 thousand rubles for such violations.

In addition to a monetary fine, the driver is sometimes deprived of his license for six months, depending on the severity of the violation. Thus, we found out what an oversized cargo of size can be according to the requirements of traffic rules.

The need to transport goods different kind contributed to the increase in the transportation of oversized cargo. In such situations, in addition to the use of an appropriate vehicle capable of transporting bulky goods, many other factors must be taken into account. They are regulated by regulations. including the rules traffic.

Oversized cargo: definition

This term is understood as a vehicle (with or without cargo) that exceeds in its overall dimensions the values ​​established by regulatory documents. Thus, the transport affinity should not exceed 20 m in length, 2.55 m in width, and 4 m in height. With such dimensions, the total weight of the vehicle and cargo should not exceed 38 tons.

It is clear that lighter and smaller cargo is easier to transport, and therefore cheaper. Therefore, the transportation of oversized cargo is considered simpler if the dimensions are within the following limits: the length is not more than 2 m protrudes beyond the edges of the transport, the width is up to 3.5 m, the height is up to 4.5 m.

The difference between oversized cargo

There are several concepts that define large and heavy loads. It is easy for an uninformed person to get confused in them. Yes, more general concept is "oversized cargo". It is also sometimes called non-standard.

To put it more simply and plain language, then oversized cargo is a heavy or bulky item (sometimes both) that cannot be transported in the usual way in a container or closed vehicle. An example of such goods can be agricultural machinery, drilling equipment, transformers, and so on.

Due to the wide variety of types of oversized cargo, it became necessary to classify them. They are divided into the following types:

• Heavy, which, after loading onto a vehicle, causes an excess of permissible parameters in terms of mass or axle load.
• Oversized cargo, which causes an excess of the overall dimensions of the vehicle.
• Long-length, which, after loading onto the vehicle, protrudes beyond its tailgate by more than 2 meters.

Oversized and heavy cargo is difficult and very expensive to transport by air and rail. Therefore, most often use road transport.

Regulations

Transportation of oversized cargo must be carried out in accordance with the developed regulatory documents. This need is spelled out in the Civil Code of our country. Cargo transportation using road transport(both cars and trucks) must be carried out in accordance with the following documentation:

• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 2011 No. 272, which describes the rules for the carriage of goods by road.

• The charter of automobile and urban (which moves on the ground and consumes electricity as fuel) transport. This Charter was approved by the Federal Law in 2007 under No. 259.

• Instruction of the Ministry of Transport, adopted in 1996 (as amended and supplemented by Order No. 258 of 2012). It affects the rules for the transportation of bulky goods on the roads only in our country.

• Government Decree of 1993 No. 1090, which refers to the rules of the road.

In addition to those described above, there are other legislative documents. Depending on the specific characteristics of the cargo (flammable, perishable, explosive and others), other standards must be taken into account. In addition, we must not forget about international agreements (and treaties).

General requirements for transportation

The requirements described in the transport documentation that affect dimensions and the weight of the transported goods relate to the vehicle and the load. In accordance with the legislation of our country, it is necessary to have a permit for the transportation of oversized cargo. Without this document, shipping is prohibited.

In the case of complex cargo, escort is provided. Cover can be provided by a car equipped with flashing lights. Cargo escort by traffic police officers is carried out after the conclusion of the contract. Such cooperation allows you to protect yourself and the transported cargo.

Transportation of goods with non-standard indicators is associated with a solution a large number difficult questions(starting from obtaining a permit and ending with the escort by a traffic police car). Therefore, it is best for correct design this process, seek help from a specialist.

Travel routes

State bodies control whether oversized cargo is transported correctly. The definition of the controlling authority depends on the route of delivery of the cargo.

• Local. AT this case the controlling body will be the organization that manages local roads. The place where the carrier's vehicle is located is selected.

• Regional. Control over these types of transportation will be carried out by the federal highway authority, which is located closest to the place where the transportation began.

• International. Permission in such a situation is issued by the Federal Road Service of the country.

You can obtain a transport permit by contacting the regulatory authority.

Cases of possible transportation

Oversized and heavy cargo can only be transported if the following conditions are met:

• The placed load does not restrict the driver's visibility.

• The load does not interfere with the handling and stability on the road of the vehicle.

• The load does not cover the light and lighting, identification mark.

• Oversized cargo does not prevent the driver from perceiving signals, signs and traffic conditions in general.

• The cargo does not create unnecessary noise, does not damage the roadway, does not clog it.

If at least one condition is not met, the transportation of cargo is prohibited. It is only permitted after corrective action has been taken.

Transportation rules

Oversized cargo must be marked. If it protrudes beyond the dimensions of the car by 1 m in front and behind, by 0.4 m on the sides, the corresponding “Oversized cargo” sign is installed on it.

Transportation of goods in darkness is carried out using lamps or reflective elements. This element is set in front in white, and in the back - in red.

Compliance with traffic rules

First of all, it is necessary to observe the speed limit. When driving on roads, the speed should not exceed 60 km/h. On bridges, the speed is reduced to 15 km / h. In order to ensure safety, the driver must comply with this speed limit. He is also prohibited from driving on roads other than the given route, moving in conditions of ice or poor visibility (less than 100 m).

It is also prohibited to drive on the side of the road. The driver can stop only in places designated for this next to the road. In the event of a vehicle malfunction, the driver must stop driving. He is obliged to do the same in case of violation of cargo securing.

Cargo transportation

Oversized cargo can be transported if the following procedures are observed.

For transportation, you must first obtain a special permit from the regulatory authority. An application for its issuance is considered by an authorized person within 3-4 days. This period may be extended up to 30 days if transportation is possible only after a change in the original design.

The regulatory authority may not issue the required permit. This is possible if:

• Oversized cargo can be disassembled into separate parts of standard sizes.

• Impossible to ensure safety during transportation.

• Possibility to carry more than in a safe way(for example, by plane or by rail).

In some situations, an escort must be provided. Such cases include:

• The width of the vehicle with a load is more than 4 m.

• The length exceeds 30 m.

• The carrier occupies some part of the oncoming lane.

• In the event of a change in the conditions of carriage in order to maintain traffic safety.

The accompanying car must meet the requirements for it, ensuring traffic safety. It must be equipped with orange flashing lights. He must move at a distance established by the SDA from a truck (or car) that carries oversized cargo.

Transport companies and ordinary citizens are sometimes faced with the need to transport cargo whose dimensions exceed the size of a car. In such situations, it is necessary to follow special regulations, otherwise you can get a hefty fine.

The rules of cargo transportation are clearly spelled out in the SDA and several legislative documents. Any deviation from them will entail punishment: monetary fines or deprivation of V/U. Most of all government regulations concern the transportation of especially large cargoes.

What are the rules and procedures for the transportation of oversized cargo and what normative document installs them? What is the penalty for transporting oversized cargo in length or width without permission in 2018?

What is oversized cargo?

Paragraph 23 of the SDA of the Russian Federation details the rules for the transportation of oversized cargo. A vehicle with such luggage on board must move freely along the common lanes without violating traffic rules. The main factor is that it should not interfere with other road users.

Oversized cargo means a load that exceeds the dimensions of the car by 40 or more centimeters on the side and 1 meter in front / behind. In this case, the vehicle must have the appropriate identification mark.

Regulations

The procedure for the transportation of oversized cargo, as well as the rules for their transportation, are established in the following regulatory legal acts:

• Charter of road and urban transport, which is approved federal law No. 259 dated 11/08/2007.
• Rules freight traffic by road, drawn up by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 272.
• Instructions for the transportation of oversized cargo according to Russian roads, which was approved by the Ministry of Transport in 1996 (the last update was in 2012).
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1090.

According to the charter, oversized cargo can be transported on all types of roads (urban, intercity, suburban and international). AT legislative acts there are only a few exceptions for especially dangerous goods (radioactive waste, weapons complexes, etc.).

Rules for the transportation of "oversized"

Legislative acts approve following rules transportation of oversized items:

• The vehicle is equipped with identification marks (“oversized cargo”). If we are talking about a convoy, then they should be on each of its participants.
• Transportation on any roads is allowed only with the appropriate permission. It must be obtained in advance from the local traffic police department or the Ministry of Transport (if we are talking about international transportation).

  Note! In most cases, it takes 3-4 working days for the government authorities to review. However, if transportation entails an adjustment to the original design of the vehicle, the issuance of a permit may be delayed for a whole month. Therefore, this should be taken care of in advance.

• Authorized bodies may refuse to issue a permit if:
  • There are options to transport oversized items by some other, safer means of transport (for example, by rail).
  • Oversized can be disassembled into several constituent parts so that it does not go beyond the dimensions of the vehicle.
  • Absolute safety of transportation is not ensured.
• It is the responsibility of the carrier to organize escort if the dimensions of the oversized cargo are in the following ranges: length 24-30 m, width 3.5-4.
• If the dimensions of the cargo exceed the above parameters, then the transportation is carried out together with the traffic police patrol cars. It also happens in some specific situations (e.g. required by security).

Penalties for transporting oversized cargo without permission

Penalties for transportation of oversized cargo without permission are determined by Part 2 of Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. For ordinary citizens, 2 penalties are possible: a fine of 1500-2000 rubles, or deprivation of rights for a period of 2 to 4 months. For officials (employees transport companies) the fine is higher - from 10 to 20 thousand rubles. Legal entities can be fined up to half a million rubles.

The court determines the final amount of the fine, guided by such principles as the percentage of exceeding the permissible dimensions and the presence of the fact of a threat of an accident. The following situations may serve as aggravating circumstances:

• There were no signs or reflectors on the vehicle (in conditions of insufficient visibility).
• The oversize covered the registration plate or reflectors. This takes into account the lack of visibility precisely relative to other road users.
• The cargo made it difficult for the driver to see or interfered with him. This situation inevitably creates the possibility of an accident.
• There was a violation of the stability of the vehicle. This usually happens when the permissible weight of the cargo is exceeded.
• The driver violated the speed limit while transporting oversized cargo (60 km/h for roads, 15 km/h for bridges).

Conclusion

The established rules and the need to obtain a permit are not due to the whim of the government, but to ensure road safety. A vehicle carrying a large load inevitably poses a potential road traffic accident hazard. Therefore, it must move according to special regulations and have a number of identification marks.

Today the need to transport big loads has grown very much. For this, vehicles with increased load capacity requirements are used. Oversized cargo is beyond the dimensions of the car and exceeds the rules of traffic rules. It has certain dimensions:

• length should not exceed 20 meters;
• height 4 m;
• in width it should be 2.55 meters.

If these parameters are exceeded, then in order to be able to transport oversized cargo, it is necessary to obtain a special permit regulating its transportation. If the driver is engaged in transportation without this document, he violates traffic rules and is liable in the form of a fine, statutory or loses the right to drive a car.

Let's consider what the size of the fine for improper transportation of oversized cargo will be. Exist different types penalty for incorrect transportation of oversized cargo:

• when transportation is carried out without special permission;
• when transported without observing the rules for the carriage of goods.

According to the traffic rules, it is necessary to transport oversized cargo according to established rules, guided by standards and fulfilling the requirements of traffic rules.

They can be transported under certain conditions, make sure that the cargo:

• did not interfere with the driver's driving and did not block his view of the road;
• does not pollute the surrounding area and does not interfere with other road users.

There are certain requirements for the speed of movement with oversized. When moving vehicles with oversized dimensions on the road, the speed should be no more than 60 km/h, and on the bridge no more than 15 km/h. The driver also has no right to take another route. If he violates the rules for the transportation of oversized cargo, he will have to eliminate this violation. In case of ignoring the rules, he will pay a fine.

There are several types of fines for improper transportation of goods. How much do you have to pay for them? This is the penalty:

• when transporting heavy or oversized cargo without a special document, or when the driver deviates from the route allowed in the document, a fine of 2,000 rubles is charged, and they can also take away his license for half a year and arrest the vehicle;
• if the transported cargo exceeds the dimensions by 10 cm than the dimensions recorded in the permit, then the driver faces a fine of 2,000 rubles;
• for all other violations of the carriage of goods, a fine of 1,500 rubles must be paid.

Officials responsible for the transportation of oversized items, in case of violation, will pay a fine in the amount of 10,000 rubles, and legal entities will pay 250,000 rubles.

Any penalty for improper transportation of oversized cargo may result in administrative liability of the carrier company.

Be sure to have a car carrying cargo, whether it is a gazelle or a passenger car, you need to install a sign for the transportation of oversized cargo. For transportation of oversized passenger car also have their own nuances and rules. Now we will consider them and find out how to avoid fines.

The Rules of the Road noted that the transported cargo, which protrudes from the dimensions of the vehicle from different sides less than a meter, or less than 40 cm on the sides, can not be marked. In the event that the dimensions are larger than the specified dimensions, the driver is obliged to put up an appropriate sign. If he does not have such a sign or he cannot fix it, then you need to hang a red ribbon on the load. At night, a white flashlight is additionally installed on it. Max speed loaded car should be no more than 100 km / h, and on the turn it must be reduced to 20 km / h
h. The load on the roof should not exceed 70 kg.

Before you go on the road, you must definitely check the fasteners that hold the load on the trunk, make sure that it is well secured. The load must be distributed evenly so that the center of gravity is as low as possible. A small heavy load should be placed closer to the edge of the roof. During the trip, all fasteners must be checked. During long trips on good roads, the condition of the fasteners should be checked every two hours. If the road is uneven, such a check is carried out every hour.

What fine do drivers pay if they transport oversized cargo incorrectly or transport it without permission in 2019? Has he changed? The fine for oversized cargo is 2,000 - 2,500 rubles for ordinary drivers. For officials who are responsible for transportation, it will be 15,000 rubles, and legal entities already paid 500,000 rubles. If the driver is not able to correctly place the load, he needs to stop and fix the problem or stop driving altogether.

You need to be careful and follow all the rules for transporting oversized items so as not to fall under the scope of Article 12.21 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, part 1 and not to pay a fine in the amount of 500 rubles.
