Therefore, it is very important to know and adhere to the traffic rules on this dangerous section of the road, as well as working options for getting out of a difficult situation at the crossing.
ABOUT possible consequences Violations when overtaking at a crossing, the amount of fines and terms of deprivation of rights, as well as existing exceptions to their rules, you will read in this article.
What it is
Most often, offenses are committed by impatient drivers who want to cross the crossing as quickly as possible, thereby creating the threat of an accident near the railway tracks.
In order to avoid committing an offense, it is necessary to understand what exactly the situations are on this section of the road.
The main ones:
- stopping (most often for technical reasons, when other vehicles around you are still in motion);
- driving through a red light or in front of a closing barrier;
- detour;
- advance;
- overtaking.
And if everything is clear with the first two points, then the latter must be able to correctly distinguish, because the punishment for violating each of them is different:
- Detour- a maneuver as a result of which you go around another object on the road that is stationary at that moment (can also be performed in the oncoming lane).
- Advance- passing another vehicle at a higher speed in your lane.
- Overtaking- getting ahead of other vehicles, entering the oncoming lane of the road and then returning to your own roadway.
Overtaking at a crossing has the greatest consequences, since as a result of this maneuver both lanes of traffic may be damaged and there will be a threat to large quantity of people.
As stated in the traffic rules
The traffic rules indicate (clause 15.1) that crossing railway tracks by cars is allowed only at equipped crossings. At the same time, it is necessary to give way to railway transport - a locomotive, handcar, etc.
You must stop if one of the following warning signs is present:
- closing the barrier;
- red flashing traffic light at the crossing;
- a sound signal indicating the approach of a train;
- employee signal railway;
- visual observation of the approaching train.
There is no comprehensive collection of rules regarding the rules of behavior at railway crossings; certain details are spelled out in different parts Traffic rules For example, penalties are indicated in clauses 12.4 and 12.5, and punishment for driving through a red light is in clause 15.3.
In the traffic rules, paragraph 11.4 clearly describes the situation with overtaking: at a railway crossing and within a hundred meters in front of it, overtaking other vehicles is prohibited. This is a high-risk section of the road.
The boundaries of the crossing itself can be determined by one of the signs (single-track railway - 1.3.1, multi-track railway - 1.3.2):
This means that there is a barrier with one or more railway tracks on the route of movement. This sign can be located either on a traffic light post or at a distance of approximately 20 meters from the tracks.
The hundred-meter boundary before a railway crossing may look different:
- in any locality there will be one or another sign (1.1 or 1.2):
- outside cities and villages, a 100-meter border is shown by signs with two red stripes (1.4.2, 1.4.5):
Sometimes it may happen that you noticed a prohibitory sign already while entering the maneuver, then it is better to reduce the speed and let the overtaken vehicle pass ahead, returning to its place in the road lane.
When is it possible
Overtaking a moving vehicle into the oncoming lane is prohibited in any case; violation of this rule will immediately lead to administrative punishment.
But there are some exceptions to the detour:
- Driving without entering oncoming traffic (only in your own lane) is not an offense.
- It is allowed to bypass real estate even if you enter the oncoming lane (if it is garbage, etc. - not to be confused with a car that is simply standing in front of the barrier waiting for the crossing to open).
What is the punishment for overtaking at a railway crossing?
By overtaking, the driver risks not only his own life, but also the lives of the passengers of his and other cars participating in road traffic.
Therefore, the punishment can be of medium or severe severity, up to deprivation of rights for a certain period.
The busiest railway crossings, where offenses are often committed, are equipped with photo and video equipment to record cases of non-compliance with traffic rules. Also, traffic police patrol officers are often assigned to duty at such areas.
As for the legislative framework, it regulates punishment in the form of a fine or deprivation of rights for violating traffic rules at a railway crossing:
The table shows that the punishment for violating the rules of overtaking at a railway crossing is quite impressive - a fine or deprivation of a driver’s license. The type of punishment will depend on the court's decision and mitigating circumstances.
The latter include:
- a pregnant woman driving;
- a woman with a small child in a car;
- inadequate condition due to personal reasons;
- repentance for the offender;
- prevention by the offender of the consequences of his act.
Practice shows that most often fines are awarded for a primary offense, and all subsequent ones will certainly be accompanied by deprivation of rights and, possibly, an additional monetary penalty.
Such strict measures were chosen for a reason, because it is worth taking into account the number of vehicles involved in the maneuver, the danger to the lives of people in the cars, the driver, and train passengers.
Therefore, such punishments should maximally restrain the driver’s desire to quickly pass the crossing at the expense of safety on the road.
But it should be remembered that without driving into the oncoming lane, you can not be afraid of administrative punishment for the above road maneuvers.
In addition to overtaking and detours, there are penalties for the following traffic violations:
The amount of punishment is also affected by the presence of other fines during last year– the more there are, the more severe the new penalty will be – almost 100% guarantee of deprivation of rights.
If you have accumulated a debt from unpaid fines, your driver's license becomes invalid until the debt is paid off. Return of rights is possible only after full repayment of the debt and passing an exam on knowledge of traffic rules.
Is it possible to drive around a vehicle and in what cases?
If a car stalls in front of you on the railway tracks, under no circumstances should you drive around it through the oncoming lane - this is provided for by law.
Your actions at this moment should be aimed at helping the driver - remove all passengers from the cabin, push the car off the rail manually, tow it or push it with your vehicle.
If there is no other car at the crossing besides the stuck car, you should send someone 1 km from the crossing to signal to the train driver either with a bright rag or a flashlight.
If you are alone at all, try signaling yourself in Morse code - one long and three short signals, which means “B” - trouble.
You cannot drive onto the road when there is already a car there. An exception to this rule is a crossing that is more than 7 meters in length; in this case, it is better to immediately move into another lane, otherwise the car behind you will also be fined.
The vehicles standing in front of the crossing are cars lined up in one row in front of the railway tracks.
One of the most dangerous and stupid actions of drivers is overtaking at a crossing. It can be dangerous, so never perform this action at a railroad crossing. Many car enthusiasts, of course, think that this is very easy to do, and overtaking itself does not entail any consequences. But in reality, everything is completely different. After such a maneuver it is very easy to get into an extremely unpleasant situation, possibly with a fatal outcome. But even if this is avoided, the driver can easily get caught by the traffic police. In the first case, everything can result in injuries and death of both the driver and passengers. In the second case, the owner of the vehicle will lose his license, and in addition will have to pay a considerable fine.
What is overtaking?
Overtaking is when the driver of one vehicle gets ahead of other vehicles. That is, there is movement in the oncoming lane and subsequent return to the previously occupied lane. Overtaking is also speeding. During it, the car moves at a speed higher than the speed of passing traffic. Some drivers think that when turning at an overtaking intersection, this action is not a violation. Is it so? Not always. If the distance to the intersection near the railway crossing is about 100 meters, and the driver enters the oncoming lane to overtake, this will be considered a violation.
Another situation is also possible. A driver passes a railroad crossing, and the car moving in front of him stops. In this case, a forced stop of the car following the first vehicle is also made. This is also a gross violation. You should never make a detour, especially behind a car that is overtaking in front of you. In this case, a fine of 100 rubles is imposed in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - Art. 12.10 p.2. But it is also worth considering that this most often ends in a serious accident with the most severe consequences. According to traffic rules, such a stop is regarded as a deliberate act. In this case, it will be very difficult to prove your case without the help of a qualified lawyer. That is why extreme caution is required when driving a car on railway tracks and close to them.
Signs at railway crossings
At railway crossings there is almost always a sign that says overtaking is prohibited. This means that any car owner who decides to overtake in this section of the road is violating traffic rules. In addition, there may be a 1.1 marking on the road (a narrow solid line), which also prohibits overtaking in this place. Signs are placed for a reason, so they must be observed in order to avoid possible troubles and ensure safe traffic.
Other signs are also installed on the railway road for drivers: single-track railway (sign 1.3.1) and multi-track railway - sign 1.3.2. These signs indicate that there is a barrier with one or more tracks ahead of the road ahead of the tracks. Such signs are most often installed on a traffic light post or independently at a distance of at least 20 meters from the tracks. If the driver sees these signs, then overtaking in this case will be equated to a gross violation of traffic rules. There are several penalties for such violations.
Possible consequences of overtaking
It is worth saying that a railway crossing is one of the most dangerous sections of the road. Therefore, special caution and attentiveness are extremely important here. Violation in this area not only ends in administrative punishment; most often, the outcome of overtaking at a railway crossing is an accident with serious consequences. It must be remembered that overtaking at a railway crossing is prohibited even on a highway located within 100 meters of it. Such a maneuver can be performed immediately after the passage, but only if there are no markings or prohibitory signs there.
Another important point: before a railway crossing, passing vehicles that are stationary is prohibited. Especially if such a maneuver involves driving into the oncoming lane. In accordance with the traffic rules, on railway tracks, motorists must cross the tracks only at the crossing, and they must give way to a trolley or locomotive. Also in the rules for traveling at railway crossings there is a whole list important points when the driver is prohibited from entering a crossing, the following are among them:
- When the barrier begins to close or if it is closed.
- When the semaphore signal lights up, prohibiting passage.
- In case of receiving a prohibitory signal from the crossing duty officer.
This also includes a traffic jam that can form behind a crossing: this forces the car to stop at the crossing. In this case, making further movement, and even more so overtaking, is extremely undesirable and dangerous. This may result in loss of your driver's license and a fine.
If, in the presence of all the signs about the prohibition of overtaking, the maneuver was completed, then the driver noticed in this manner will suffer the punishment provided for by the traffic rules. Is this a fine or imprisonment? driver's license for a period from 4 months to 1 year. When overtaking an obstacle, in accordance with the Administrative Code - Art. 12.15 hours 3-4, the driver who committed this action faces a fine in the amount of 1 thousand to 1.5 thousand rubles. For a primary violation, a fine of 5 thousand rubles is also possible. In case of repeated violations, rights are always deprived for up to a year. But most often, overtaking at a railway crossing closer than 100 meters from it, even with a primary violation, ends in the deprivation of a driver’s license. A fine is imposed only for a primary violation, in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - Part 4 of Art. 12.15. all drivers should remember this before they decide to perform such a dangerous maneuver. But in some situations it is possible to mitigate the punishment: there are factors that contribute to this.

How can the punishment be mitigated?
TO 
Of course, the simplest solution is not to break it. But if this happens, then it is worth knowing about a number of mitigating circumstances. In accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation - Part 1 of Art. 4.2, mitigating circumstances include:
- Emotional anxiety for any reason.
- Violation committed by a pregnant woman with a child.
- The offender's remorse.
If the driver who committed the offense prevented all its consequences, this is considered as a mitigating circumstance. The case of overtaking is often heard in court. In this case, a petition letter indicating mitigating circumstances will help mitigate the punishment. If the violation was completely one-time, such a document will be reviewed by a judge, who may take the simplest penalties - a fine for overtaking at a crossing. If overtaking is repeated, mitigation measures may not be taken into account.
A railway crossing, in accordance with the Road Traffic Rules, is the intersection of a roadway ( highway) with railway tracks.

In what situations is it permissible to overtake at an intersection with railway tracks, and what punishment is provided for failure to comply with the rules for crossing crossings? Read on.
In what cases is it allowed and in what cases is it prohibited?
In accordance with traffic regulations, railway crossings are of two types:
- adjustable. Such crossings are equipped with traffic lights, barriers or other types of barriers, and guards;
- unregulated, where there are no traffic lights, barriers, or attendants.
Unregulated crossings are more dangerous, since the possibility of crossing railway tracks is determined by each driver independently, taking into account all the rules and established road signs.
At all types of crossings, certain rules for the movement of vehicles apply, which are established by paragraph 15 of the traffic rules. Namely:
- The need to cross railway tracks only in designated places.
- A ban on crossing paths if at least one of the following conditions is met:
- The prohibitory traffic light is on. Driving on red is prohibited in any other situations. Regardless of the type of traffic light (with two or three lights), the prohibiting signal of the traffic light is the alternating flashing of red signals located on the same horizontal line;
- the barrier is closed or is just beginning to close;
- a prohibition signal is shown to the crossing duty officer (passage is prohibited if the crossing duty officer stands with his face or back to the driver and his arms are raised up or spread in different directions);
- a traffic jam has formed at the crossing, and further movement of motor vehicles will lead to a forced stop on the railway tracks;
- A train (locomotive) is approaching.
- If there are signals prohibiting further movement, the driver must stop at the stop sign (if available) or at the stop line, or 5 m before the barrier, or 10 m before the next trip.
- If a forced stop is made on the railway tracks, the driver is obliged to first disembark passengers and then give signals to the approaching train.
- stop;
- parking;
- reversing;
- turn;
- turn;
- overtaking.
- the visibility zone is sufficient to perform this maneuver;
- changing lanes from lane to lane does not create interference for other traffic participants;
- when ahead, motor vehicles do not enter the sidewalk, roadside, pedestrian or bicycle path;
- there are no signs prohibiting this maneuver;
- The lanes of the roadway are not separated by solid marking lines.
- the boundaries of a controlled crossing equipped with a barrier are the lines marked by a barrier structure (barrier);
- The boundaries of an unregulated crossing are the lines on which the signs of a single-track or multi-track railway are located.
You can also determine the length of the roadway where overtaking is prohibited using a warning road sign, which is installed in accordance with the rules at a distance of exactly 100 m from the railway crossing.
At a certain railway crossing, there may be corresponding road signs or markings, and other traffic rules may be established.
For example, overtaking will be prohibited if:
- a continuous marking line is applied to the roadway;
- When approaching the crossing, there is a “No Overtaking” sign.
Overtaking before crossing the roadway with railway tracks is also prohibited if:
- the visibility zone is insufficient to perform this maneuver;
- the driver of the vehicle in front has shown a left turn signal or has begun to perform an “overtaking” maneuver;
- the driver of a car moving behind also overtakes vehicles;
- after overtaking, the car cannot easily return to the previously occupied lane for further movement.
Overtaking after a railway crossing is not expressly prohibited by the rules. This means that you can start performing the maneuver if there are no factors that impede the maneuver (no additional signs are installed, no broken marking line, no “double” overtaking, you can return to “your” lane after completing the maneuver, and so on).
Which paragraphs of the traffic rules contain the rules?
The ban on overtaking (detour) within the boundaries of a railway crossing, as well as at a distance of 100 m before the crossing, is established by clause 11.4 of the traffic rules.
The same paragraph establishes other zones in which it is not permitted to perform the maneuver in question.
These include:
- pedestrian crossings;
- signalized intersections;
- sections of the road with increased danger when driving;
- unregulated intersections when vehicles move on a secondary road;
- bridges, overpasses, tunnels.
The basic rules for crossing railway tracks are covered by Article 15 of the Traffic Regulations. The prohibition on stopping and parking is regulated by Article 12, paragraph 4.
Fines for violations
The responsibility for monitoring the rules for crossing railway crossings rests with the traffic police.
Identification of offenses can be carried out:
- employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate in person (patrol service);
- using photo or video cameras installed along the roadway.
The detected offense is documented in a protocol, which indicates:
- date, time and place of the violation;
- vehicle characteristics;
- data of the owner (if photo or video recording) or data of the driver driving the vehicle (if recording the offense in person);
- a detailed description of the violation;
- an article of the Administrative Code providing for liability for this type of offense;
- punishment.
It should be noted that administrative fines can be issued by traffic police officers, and punishment in the form of deprivation of rights is established exclusively by the judicial authorities.
What punishment is provided by the Administrative Code for non-compliance with the rules for traveling through railway crossings?
The answer to this question can be obtained by studying the following table:
Description of traffic violation Article of the Administrative Code Punishment Driving across railway tracks in an unequipped place 12.10 1000 rubles fine or for a period of 3 to 6 months Passing crossings with a closed (closing) barrier or a prohibiting traffic light signal 12.10 Fine of 100 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3–6 months Turning, turning or reversing at a crossing 12.14 500 rubles Failure to comply with the requirements established by road signs or markings 12.16 500 rubles Stopping or parking on railway tracks 12.10 Fine in the amount of 1,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for 3–6 months Overtaking at or before a crossing 12.15 Fine 5,000 rubles or deprivation of a driver’s license for 4–6 months Avoiding an obstacle at a crossing in violation of the rules 12.15 1000 – 1,500 rubles The penalty for crossing railway tracks when the barrier is closed or closing, or at a red light is a fine of 1000 rubles or deprivation of rights. For stopping or parking at a crossing - the same.
As for the highway, for stopping outside special places, for trucks moving beyond the second lane - a fine of 1000 rubles. For turning on a highway, driving into technological gaps in the dividing strip, or driving in reverse - a fine of 2,500 rubles.

What are the penalties for violations at railway crossings?
A railway crossing is one of the most dangerous sections of the road. Violating the rules for crossing it is dangerous for life, because after a collision with rolling stock, the chances of survival of the driver and passengers are not great, and serious injuries are simply guaranteed, and this is not counting the violation of the railway transport schedule. Therefore, penalties for such violations can be quite serious.
Let's try to figure out what violations can occur when crossing a railway crossing, what is the responsibility for them and how to avoid it.
○ Driving through a prohibitory signal.
Clause 15.4 of the Traffic Regulations determined the procedure for crossing a railway crossing. Depending on how equipped it is, the driver is required to stop the car:
- At a stop line or traffic light, if there is one.
- If there is no traffic light, then 5 m before the barrier.
- If there is no barrier, then 10 meters from the rail closest to it.
The rules are quite clear, but they are the ones that lead among this group of violations - driving through a prohibiting traffic light or trying to “slip” under a barrier that has not yet closed.
Ideally, railway crossings should be equipped with automatic barriers, then reckless drivers will not have the opportunity to jump onto the crossing and create emergency situation. But there are still crossings that are regulated exclusively by a traffic light or an attendant, and therefore there are no fewer people wanting to “slip through.” Relatively small fine 1000 rub. for such a violation would hardly change the situation significantly, and only the prospect deprivation of rights for a period of 3 to 6 months stops the offender no worse than the barrier in Part 1 of Art. 12.10 Code of Administrative Offenses:
- "1. Crossing a railway track outside of a railway crossing, entering a railway crossing when the barrier is closed or closing, or when there is a prohibiting signal from a traffic light or the person on duty at the crossing, as well as stopping or parking at a railway crossing - shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles. for a period of three to six months"
The third part of the same article threatens year of deprivation of rights for repeated passage ignoring prohibiting signals.
The evidence can be a video recording or personal testimony of the inspector, so it is advisable to save the recording from your car recorder.
○ Overtaking at a crossing.
Railway crossings, as areas of increased danger, cannot be overtaking areas. This is clearly indicated by clause 11.4 of the traffic rules. We draw your attention to the fact that with changes in traffic rules, overtaking requires mandatory departure from the occupied lane into the oncoming lane.
This means that if the width of the road does not allow driving in two lanes, then the maneuver will not be considered overtaking. But if cars have accumulated before moving, you cannot go around them. Otherwise waiting for you 1000 -1500 rub. fine under Part 3 of Art. 12.15 Code of Administrative Offences:
- “Driving, in violation of the Traffic Rules, into a lane intended for oncoming traffic when going around an obstacle, or onto tram tracks in the opposite direction when going around an obstacle - entails the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles.”
Overtaking will cost more, part 4 of the same article sets the minimum fine of 5000 rubles, or even not at all deprivation of rights for a period of 4 to 6 months.
- “Driving in violation of the Traffic Rules into a lane intended for oncoming traffic, or onto tram tracks in the opposite direction, except for the cases provided for in Part 3 of this article, shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period from four to six months."
Punishment for a repeated violation may include being banned as a pedestrian for a year. If you are lucky and the camera records the overtaking, you will be able to limit 5000 rub. fine
○ Stopping and parking.
Among other places prohibited for stopping and parking, clause 12.4 of the traffic rules also indicates a railway crossing; it is also subject to a ban on leaving in the event of a congestion behind it. That is, unless you finish crossing the crossing outside of it. You shouldn't start it. Parking is prohibited not only at the crossing itself. But also closer than 50 meters from it. The Code of Administrative Offenses does not contain a separate article specifically about stopping at a crossing, and therefore Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, common to all violations of this kind, applies:
- "1. Violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles, except for the cases provided for in Part 1 of Article 12.10 of this Code and Parts 2 - 4 of this Article, entails a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred rubles.”
Certainly. Hardly anyone will dare to stand on the tracks voluntarily. But violation of the fifty-meter zone is not uncommon. Despite the small fine. Do not forget about possible evacuation if the car interferes with the passage of other vehicles, then the costs will no longer seem insignificant.
○ Nuances and resolution of controversial issues.
Some situations become a real stumbling block and cause heated disputes between traffic police inspectors and drivers. Often the barrier rises before the prohibitory traffic light goes out. Most drivers are in a hurry to continue driving and after a few meters they find themselves stopped by inspectors who accuse them of driving through a red light. In this case, it is worth referring to the Instructions for the Operation of Railway Crossings, according to the rules of which when the barrier is raised the red light should not be on.
Problems with a car that cause it to stop at a crossing are perhaps the most dangerous. Clause 15.5 of the Traffic Regulations describes in detail the behavior of the driver and passengers of a car stuck on the rails:
- “When forced to stop at a crossing, the driver must immediately unload people and take measures to clear the crossing. At the same time, the driver must:
- If possible, send two people along the tracks in both directions from the crossing 1000 m (if one, then in the direction of the worst visibility of the track), explaining to them the rules for giving a stop signal to the driver of an approaching train.
- Stay near the vehicle and sound the general alarm.
- When a train appears, run towards it, giving a stop signal.
- Note. The stop signal is a circular movement of the hand (in the daytime with a piece of bright material or some clearly visible object, at night - with a torch or lantern). The general alarm signal is a series of one long and three short beeps.”
These rules are dictated by safety regulations and protection of the lives of the driver and passengers. A collision with a train at speed will turn the car into a pile of iron, what will happen to the people inside is clear without explanation. Due to the enormous mass, the rolling stock has a very long braking distance and stopping must begin as early as possible. The more the “messengers” travel, the greater the chance for a successful outcome.
At the same time, problems threaten not only the driver who is standing at the crossing, but also the one who was driving behind him and was already behind the traffic light. In this situation, pay attention to the type of move. If its width is less than 7 meters, then you can safely stand and wait until the problem that has arisen ahead is resolved, fortunately they try to remove such cars as quickly as possible. But if there is a wide multi-rail crossing in front of you, then such a forced stop will already be a violation. Usually inspectors limit themselves 1000 rub. fine under Part 2 of Art. 12.10 Code of Administrative Offenses, but especially zealous people try to deprive people of their rights. All that remains is to write about your disagreement due to the incorrect qualification and appeal the decision in court.
If you are detained by an inspector, then in any case you need to behave calmly and confidently. When drawing up a protocol on driving through a prohibitory signal, say that you could not stop, since the signal changed when you were in the immediate vicinity, the barrier was open, there was no prohibitory signal, and you could not stop, since you would have remained at the crossing, given that reversing on it is prohibited. This is based on clause 6.14 of the traffic rules:
- “Drivers who, when the yellow signal turns on or the traffic controller raises his hand up, cannot stop without resorting to emergency braking, are allowed to continue driving in the places determined by clause 6.13 of the Rules.”
If the crossing is regulated by an attendant and is not equipped with other means, say that you did not understand his signal or that he gave them too late, when you had already left. Many crossings are already equipped with automatic barriers; if you crossed it, tell the inspector that they automatically rise when passage is prohibited and since you crossed them, then the signal at the traffic light was permissive. It is quite possible that this will be the end of the proceedings.
If a violation is recorded, and the punishment under Art. 12.10, part 4 art. 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offences, it is only fair to mitigate it by paying the fine as quickly as possible, with a 50% discount under Art. 32.2 Code of Administrative Offences.
Watch out for the train! A railroad crossing is one of the most dangerous places on the road. You can't break the rules here. Watch the story on Channel One about this.
Detour and overtaking before a railway crossing
Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the third article of the series “Rules for passing a railway crossing” we will talk about performing maneuvers detour and, as well as nearby. In addition, fines provided for violating the rules of overtaking and passing at railway crossings will be considered.
Let me remind you that in the first article of the series we divided the railway crossing and the adjacent road into several zones, each of which has its own traffic rules. This also applies to overtaking and driving around. Therefore, if for some reason you missed this article, I recommend that you read it: “Railway crossing and its borders.”
So that you better understand what we are talking about, first I propose to consider the differences between the concepts of overtaking, advancing and detour.
Detour is a maneuver in which your car avoids a stationary vehicle or other obstacle on the roadway. A detour can be performed either with or without entering the lane of oncoming traffic.
Advance- movement of a vehicle at a speed greater than the speed of a passing vehicle. Advancement can be performed either with or without entering the lane of oncoming traffic. In this case, advancing into the oncoming lane is called overtaking.
Detour at a railway crossing
Traffic regulations restrict detours near railway crossings. This is evidenced by paragraph 15.3:
15.3. It is prohibited to travel:
.
In addition, it is prohibited:- drive around vehicles standing in front of the crossing into oncoming traffic;
Let's look at the features of this item:
1. It is prohibited to make a detour solely by entering the lane of oncoming traffic. If the width of the roadway allows you to make a detour without entering the oncoming lane, then such a maneuver will not constitute a violation of traffic rules.
2. It is prohibited to pass only vehicles.
For example, driving around a pile of construction waste can be done even if it requires driving into oncoming traffic. Naturally, if intermittent road markings allow such a maneuver.
3. It is prohibited to drive around vehicles standing in front of a railway crossing. Let me remind you that the boundaries of a railway crossing are indicated by a barrier or one of the signs 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
Those. If there is a queue of 10 cars before a crossing, then you cannot go around them.
In addition, traffic rules do not prohibit detours after a railway crossing.
I would like to note that drivers often have questions about which vehicles are considered to be in transit. Additional information on this topic you can find in this article:
Overtaking at a railway crossing
Restrictions related to overtaking at a railway crossing are given in paragraph 11.4 of the traffic rules:
11.4. Overtaking is prohibited:
.- at railway crossings and closer than 100 meters in front of them;
Firstly, overtaking is prohibited directly at railway crossings. In this case, the boundaries of the railway crossing are indicated by a barrier or one of the signs 1.3.1 and 1.3.2.
Secondly, overtaking is prohibited 100 meters before a railway crossing. In order to determine without a tape measure, where the 100 meters before the crossing begin, you need to do the following:
1. You must clearly understand whether you are traveling in a populated area or outside it:
2. If you are in a populated area, then 100 meters begin immediately after the first sign 1.1 or 1.2:
3. Outside built-up areas, 100 meters begin after signs 1.4.2 and 1.4.5 (signs with two red stripes):
Please note that if you notice one of the signs listed above after you have started overtaking, it is better not to complete the maneuver. In this case, in order not to break the rules, you need to brake, let the vehicle being overtaken pass and change lanes after it.
Fines for violating the rules for overtaking and passing at a railway crossing
Since both overtaking and detour, which are prohibited near railway crossings, must be accompanied by entering the lane of oncoming traffic, fines for their implementation are provided for in Article 12.15 of the Code of Administrative Offences:
Article 12.15. Violation of the rules for positioning a vehicle on the roadway, passing oncoming traffic or overtaking
.
3. Driving, in violation of the Traffic Rules, into a lane intended for oncoming traffic when going around an obstacle, or onto tram tracks in the opposite direction when going around an obstacle -shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand to one thousand five hundred rubles.
4. Driving, in violation of the Traffic Rules, onto a lane intended for oncoming traffic, or onto tram tracks in the opposite direction, except for the cases provided for in Part 3 of this article -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles or deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of four to six months.
5. Repeated commission of an administrative offense provided for in part 4 of this article -
entails deprivation of the right to drive vehicles for a period of one year, and in the event of an administrative offense being recorded by special devices operating automatically technical means having the functions of photography, filming, video recording, or means of photography, filming, video recording - imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five thousand rubles.
Thus, avoiding an obstacle near a crossing is punishable by a fine of 1,000 - 1,500 rubles, and overtaking and detour are not obstacles - a fine of 5,000 rubles or deprivation of rights for a period of four months to one year. As you can see, the penalties are very serious, so you should drive carefully and carefully near railway crossings.
In conclusion, I would like to remind you that ahead and detour without entering the oncoming lane are not a violation of traffic rules, and there are no fines for them.
What are the fines at railway crossings?
Crossing a railroad crossing incorrectly may result in your license being revoked. This situation threatens the lives of the driver and passengers, so the punishment will be appropriate. The fine for railroad crossings may vary. Its value depends on the classification of the traffic violation.What are you most often fined for?
Most often, when crossing a railway crossing, you are fined for driving through a prohibitory traffic light. The car owner may face this offence. deprivation of rights for a period of three to six months. In case of repeated violation, the driver's license may be revoked for 1 year.
Paragraph 15.4 of the traffic rules states that, subject to the presence of a barrier, the driver is obliged to stop the vehicle five meters before the railway tracks. The absence of a barrier obliges the driver to stop ten meters from the nearest rail.
However, there are situations in which the car owner was unable to stop the car at a certain mark, and he does not have the right to reverse (this is evidenced by paragraph 8.12 of the traffic rules, which states that reversing at a crossing is prohibited). The driver is fined. To somewhat mitigate the punishment, it can be noted in the protocol that the barrier was open and there was no prohibiting signal. This will help you avoid a fine for driving through a railroad crossing on a red light.
Detour and overtaking at railway crossings
Traffic rules prohibit making a detour at a crossing into the oncoming lane. This prohibition applies to sections of the road of small width. If you can make a maneuver without driving into oncoming traffic, then the action will not be interpreted as an offense. These restrictions apply exclusively within the boundaries of a railroad crossing marked by a barrier or stop sign.Important! It should be noted that it is only prohibited to pass other vehicles. Driving around static objects in this context cannot be considered a violation of traffic rules.
As for the penalty, avoiding an obstacle at a railway crossing and then driving into the oncoming lane is punishable by a fine of up to 1,500 rubles. This point is noted in Article 12.15 of the Administrative Code.
Overtaking at a crossing
Paragraph 11.4 of the traffic rules states that you cannot overtake near a railway crossing less than 100 meters before the start of the tracks. To correctly determine the distance, you need to pay attention to road signs.
The fine for overtaking at a railway crossing involves payment of an amount that varies from 1000 to 1500 rubles. This punishment is relevant if the driver drove around an obstacle and drove into the oncoming lane. Overtaking a vehicle may result in confiscation of your license.
Stopping at a railway crossing
Paragraph 12.4 of the traffic rules states that stopping at a railway crossing is prohibited. However, sometimes force majeure situations occur in which a stop is forced. Such cases are most often caused by technical malfunction vehicle. Considering the great risk to life, it is necessary to carry out all actions very carefully.Initially, all passengers should be disembarked and all attempts should be made to remove the vehicle from the tracks. Two passengers must go in opposite directions along the rails and, if a train is detected, inform the driver about the presence of a vehicle at the crossing. The driver must sound a special signal at this time.
The fine for stopping at a crossing is not too high. This is about in the amount of 500 rubles. This is stated in Article 12.19 of the traffic rules on violation of stopping rules. The not too high penalty is one of the main reasons that such an offense occurs most often in practice. I would like to believe that the current trend will change in 2018.
Controversial issues
The size of the fine depends on the interpretation of the offense committed. There are situations when, while crossing a railway crossing, the car driving ahead stalls. In this case, the driver must not enter the rails until the other vehicle has left this section. This rule is relevant only for crossings whose length is no more than 7 meters. If the crossing is very long and has several rows of rails, then a forced stop can be interpreted as a traffic violation.In this case, it is necessary to indicate all the details of the incident. If this is not done, then the driver may face deprivation of his license. In addition, the final punishment may be influenced by various extenuating circumstances. These include:
- strong emotional disturbance due to personal circumstances;
- offender's remorse;
- prevention of harmful consequences by the offender;
- commission of an offense by a pregnant woman or a woman with a child.
Such circumstances may help if the case goes to court. It should be noted that each case is considered separately.

Overtaking at a railway crossing
A railway crossing, in accordance with the Traffic Rules established by Government Decree No. 1090, is the intersection of a roadway (road) with railway tracks.
In what situations is it permissible to overtake at an intersection with railway tracks, and what punishment is provided for failure to comply with the rules for crossing crossings? Read on.
In what cases is it allowed and in what cases is it prohibited?
In accordance with traffic regulations, railway crossings are of two types:
- adjustable. Such crossings are equipped with traffic lights, barriers or other types of barriers, and guards;
- unregulated, where there are no traffic lights, barriers, or attendants.
Unregulated crossings are more dangerous, since the possibility of crossing railway tracks is determined by each driver independently, taking into account all the rules and established road signs.
At all types of crossings, certain rules for the movement of vehicles apply, which are established by paragraph 15 of the traffic rules. Namely:
- The need to cross railway tracks only in designated places.
- A ban on crossing paths if at least one of the following conditions is met:
- The prohibitory traffic light is on. Driving on red is prohibited in any other situations. Regardless of the type of traffic light (with two or three lights), the prohibiting signal of the traffic light is the alternating flashing of red signals located on the same horizontal line;
The following actions are prohibited at crossings:
- stop;
- parking;
- reversing;
- turn;
- turn;
- overtaking.
For failure to comply with the rules of movement across railway tracks, the driver is brought to administrative responsibility in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses (Administrative Code).
On adjustable
Regulated crossings are indicated by the following sign:
The sign “Moving with a barrier” is installed immediately before the crossing. To attract the driver’s attention when approaching a crossing (at a distance of 150 m, 100 m and 50 m), additional signs are installed:
Overtaking motor vehicles at a controlled railway crossing in accordance with paragraph 11.4 of the Traffic Rules is prohibited.
However, it should be taken into account that overtaking is considered to be ahead of a vehicle and entering the lane of oncoming traffic.
If the roadway, when approaching a railway crossing, consists of several lanes and the driver changes lanes without entering the oncoming lane, then such a maneuver is not overtaking and is called ahead.
Advancing at a controlled railway crossing is not prohibited by the current rules and can be carried out if:
- the visibility zone is sufficient to perform this maneuver;
- changing lanes from lane to lane does not create interference for other traffic participants;
- when ahead, motor vehicles do not enter the sidewalk, roadside, pedestrian or bicycle path;
- there are no signs prohibiting this maneuver;
- The lanes of the roadway are not separated by solid marking lines.
On unregulated
Unregulated railway crossings without barriers and traffic lights are indicated by the following sign:
Additionally, before the crossing, warning signs (picture above) and a sign prohibiting further movement of motor vehicles without stopping are installed.
At unregulated crossings, it is also prohibited to park (stop), reverse, turn or turn, and overtake.
As for ahead of cars at an uncontrolled railway crossing, the maneuver is not prohibited and is carried out in accordance with the rules specified earlier.
Read about the punishment for overtaking on a bridge here.
Overtaking before and after a railway crossing
Overtaking vehicles is also prohibited 100 m before a railway crossing.
When determining the distance, one should take into account such a factor as the boundaries of the crossing, which are determined depending on its type:
- the boundaries of a controlled crossing equipped with a barrier are the lines marked by a barrier structure (barrier);
You can also determine the length of the roadway where overtaking is prohibited using a warning road sign, which is installed in accordance with the rules at a distance of exactly 100 m from the railway crossing.
At a certain railway crossing, there may be corresponding road signs or markings, and other traffic rules may be established.
For example, overtaking will be prohibited if:
- a continuous marking line is applied to the roadway;
- When approaching the crossing, there is a “No Overtaking” sign.
Overtaking before crossing the roadway with railway tracks is also prohibited if:
- the visibility zone is insufficient to perform this maneuver;
- the driver of the vehicle in front has shown a left turn signal or has begun to perform an “overtaking” maneuver;
- the driver of a car moving behind also overtakes vehicles;
- after overtaking, the car cannot easily return to the previously occupied lane for further movement.
Overtaking after a railway crossing is not expressly prohibited by the rules. This means that you can start performing the maneuver if there are no factors that impede the maneuver (no additional signs are installed, no broken marking line, no “double” overtaking, you can return to “your” lane after completing the maneuver, and so on).
Which paragraphs of the traffic rules contain the rules?
The ban on overtaking (detour) within the boundaries of a railway crossing, as well as at a distance of 100 m before the crossing, is established by clause 11.4 of the traffic rules.
The same paragraph establishes other zones in which it is not permitted to perform the maneuver in question.
These include:
- pedestrian crossings;
- signalized intersections;
- sections of the road with increased danger when driving;
- unregulated intersections when vehicles move on a secondary road;
- bridges, overpasses, tunnels.
The basic rules for crossing railway tracks are covered by Article 15 of the Traffic Regulations. The prohibition on stopping and parking is regulated by Article 12, paragraph 4.
Fines for violations
The responsibility for monitoring the rules for crossing railway crossings rests with the traffic police.
Identification of offenses can be carried out:
- employees of the State Traffic Inspectorate in person (patrol service);
- using photo or video cameras installed along the roadway.
The detected offense is documented in a protocol, which indicates:
- date, time and place of the violation;
- vehicle characteristics;
- data of the owner (if photo or video recording) or data of the driver driving the vehicle (if recording the offense in person);
- a detailed description of the violation;
- an article of the Administrative Code providing for liability for this type of offense;
- punishment.
It should be noted that administrative fines can be issued by traffic police officers, and punishment in the form of deprivation of rights is established exclusively by the judicial authorities.
Rules for the passage of railway crossings contain the term “Railway crossing”:
"Railroad crossing"- intersection of the road with the railway tracks at the same level.
Traffic police fines are established by Article 12.10 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which consists of three parts and part four of Article 12.15.
Deprivation of rights from 3 to 6 months or a fine of 1000 rubles

By decision of the court, both deprivation of rights and imposition of a fine are possible. The fact that the case has been sent to court does not mean that the driver will necessarily be left without a driver's license.
Deprivation of rights from 4 to 6 months or a fine of 5,000 rubles

Fine 1000 rubles
2. Violation of the rules of passage through railway crossings, with the exception of cases provided for in part 1 of this article, -
shall entail the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of one thousand rubles.
All not mentioned The above paragraphs of the Rules do not provide for deprivation of the right to drive for violations when passing a railway crossing.
Let's quote section 15 of the Traffic Rules in full and delete the deprivation clauses from it.15.1. Drivers of vehicles can cross railway tracks only at level crossings, giving way to a train (locomotive, handcar).
15.2. When approaching a railway crossing, the driver must follow the requirements of road signs, traffic lights, markings, the position of the barrier and the instructions of the crossing officer and make sure that there is no approaching train (locomotive, railcar).
- when the barrier is closed or starting to close (regardless of the traffic light signal);
- when there is a prohibiting traffic light signal (regardless of the position and presence of the barrier);
- when there is a prohibitory signal from the person on duty at the crossing (the person on duty faces the driver with his chest or back with a baton, red lantern or flag raised above his head, or with his arms extended to the side);
- if there is a traffic jam behind the crossing that will force the driver to stop at the crossing;
- if a train (locomotive, handcar) is approaching the crossing within sight.
In addition, it is prohibited:
- drive around vehicles standing in front of the crossing into oncoming traffic;
- open the barrier without permission;
- transport agricultural, road, construction and other machines and mechanisms through the crossing in a non-transport position;
- without the permission of the head of the railway track, the movement of low-speed vehicles whose speed is less than 8 km/h, as well as tractor drag sleds.
15.4. In cases where movement through the crossing is prohibited, the driver must stop at the stop line, sign 2.5 or traffic light; if there are none, no closer than 5 m from the barrier, and in the absence of the latter, no closer than 10 m to the nearest rail.
15.5. When forced to stop at a crossing, the driver must immediately unload people and take measures to clear the crossing. At the same time, the driver must:
- if possible, send two people along the tracks in both directions from the crossing 1000 m (if one, then in the direction of the worst visibility of the track), explaining to them the rules for giving a stop signal to the driver of an approaching train;
- stay near the vehicle and give general alarm signals;
- When a train appears, run towards it, giving a stop signal.
These are violations for which only a fine of 1000 rubles is provided.
Features of qualification when stopping at a crossing
Those who were attentive noticed it would seem contradiction in imposing liability for stopping at a crossing.
Stop prohibited: at railway crossings...
Provides for the deprivation of rights, but the prohibition to stop in a traffic jam is not deleted from the quotation of the 15th section.
It is prohibited to drive to a crossing: if there is a traffic jam behind the crossing that will force the driver stay on the move;
It is not difficult to guess in which direction such a “contradiction” will be interpreted by the inspector. He will write in the decree the deprivation part 1 of article 12.10. An untrained driver will agree to the violation.
Remember stopping traffic in a traffic jam is not a stop. When you are issued such a decree, do not agree and demand that a protocol be drawn up.
For details about stopping and staying, see.
Reclassification of such a violation will not be difficult. If the inspector is told before compiling the material that his classification of the violation is incorrect, then he will most likely issue a fine corresponding to the violation, that is, only 1000 rubles without the alternative of deprivation.
The nuances of imposing a fine for driving through a prohibiting signal
On roads with heavy traffic of trains and vehicles, there is a chance of falling into a trap and getting a fine for driving through a crossing at a prohibitory signal. How it works?
As you know, there is no warning signal at the traffic light at the railway crossing. And in heavy traffic, the red light may turn on when your car has already crossed the visibility zone of the traffic light. Traffic lights work synchronously.
On the opposite side of the crossing, an accident patrol with photo recording is located and takes pictures of the car entering the crossing and the red signal from the oncoming direction. The camera angle is set in such a way that it is not visible whether there is a car before or after the traffic light. From which it is concluded that the passage was carried out in response to a prohibitory signal.
Only a DVR can save you from falling into such a trap. with narrow viewing angle. Wide-angle recorders “see” much wider than the human eye
Changes in fines for railway crossings in 2018
In the State Duma, providing for an increase in the amount of the fine from 1000 to 5000 rubles. There are no plans to change the terms of deprivation.
The following actions are prohibited at crossings:
For failure to comply with the rules of movement across railway tracks, the driver is brought to administrative responsibility in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses (Administrative Code).
On adjustable
Regulated crossings are indicated by the following sign:
The sign “Moving with a barrier” is installed immediately before the crossing. To attract the driver's attention when approaching a crossing (at a distance of 150 m, 100 m and 50 m), additional signs:
Overtaking road transport at a controlled railway crossing in accordance with clause 11.4 of the Traffic Rules is prohibited.
However, it should be taken into account that overtaking is considered to be ahead of a vehicle and entering the lane of oncoming traffic.
If the roadway, when approaching a railway crossing, consists of several lanes and the driver changes lanes without entering the oncoming lane, then such a maneuver is not overtaking and is called ahead.
Advancing at a controlled railway crossing is not prohibited by the current rules and can be carried out if:
On unregulated
Unregulated railway crossings without barriers and traffic lights are indicated by the following sign:
Additionally, before the crossing, warning signs (picture above) and a sign prohibiting further movement of motor vehicles without stopping are installed.
At unregulated crossings, it is also prohibited to park (stop), reverse, turn or turn, and overtake.
As for ahead of cars at an uncontrolled railway crossing, the maneuver is not prohibited and is carried out in accordance with the rules specified earlier.
Overtaking before and after a railway crossing
Overtaking vehicles is also prohibited 100 m before a railway crossing.
When determining the distance, one should take into account such a factor as the boundaries of the crossing, which are determined depending on its type:
- The prohibitory traffic light is on. Driving on red is prohibited in any other situations. Regardless of the type of traffic light (with two or three lights), the prohibiting signal of the traffic light is the alternating flashing of red signals located on the same horizontal line;
