1 . General provisions
1.1. The provisions set out in these regulations apply to the weight and dimensions of vehicles authorized for use in Russian Federation on public roads, established based on the requirements for ensuring road safety, reliability and safety of highways and road structures, taking into account their load-bearing capacity and carrying capacity. The restrictions on the weight and dimensions of vehicles set out below do not apply to the production of vehicles, the requirements for which are established by other standards and regulations. 1.2. Vehicles or parts thereof forming part of combination vehicles, dimensions, as well as total weight and whose axle load does not exceed the values established by sections 3, 4 and 5 of these standards are allowed for movement on federal and territorial public roads. For other highways designed and built for loads lower than those specified in sections 3, 4 and 5, the owners of the highways may set other (smaller) vehicle weight limits; for federal highways - the Federal road service Russia, for territorial highways - by executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, for municipal highways - by local government bodies. Decisions to reduce the dimensions and weights of vehicles listed below are made based on the results of a road survey and may be permanent or temporary. In this case, the body that made such a decision is obliged, in accordance with the established procedure, to install the appropriate road signs on the highway or its section on which additional restrictions on the weight and size of vehicles have been introduced and to inform road users about this. 1.3. The vehicle and its part forming a combination vehicle, mass and/or axial load which and/or whose size exceeds the maximum values established by these standards, can be moved on roads only with special permits issued in the prescribed manner by the competent authorities. The movement of such vehicles on roads is carried out in accordance with the “Instructions for the transportation of large-sized and heavy cargo by road on the roads of the Russian Federation”, approved by the Ministry of Transport of Russia on May 27, 1996. 1.4. Except limit values the total mass and axle loads established by these requirements, the mass of the transported cargo and the load distribution along the axles must not exceed the values established by the manufacturer for a specific vehicle. 1.5. For the purposes of these standards, the following concepts and definitions are used: Vehicle - a device intended for transporting goods and passengers along roads; Truck - a vehicle designed and built exclusively or primarily for the transport of goods; Tractor means a vehicle designed and constructed solely or primarily for towing a trailer or semi-trailer; Trailer - a vehicle intended for the transportation of goods by towing by a tractor or truck; Semi-trailer - specially equipped for the transportation of goods, designed to be connected to a tractor in such a way that part of this vehicle is located directly on the tractor and transfers a significant portion of its weight to it; Road train is a combined vehicle consisting of a truck and a trailer; Articulated vehicle - a combination vehicle consisting of a tractor unit articulated with a semi-trailer; Bus - a vehicle designed to transport passengers and their luggage, having more than nine seating, including driver's seat; Articulated bus- a bus consisting of two or more rigid sections connected to each other and having a passenger compartment in each section, allowing passengers to move freely from one compartment to another; Combined vehicle- a combination of a truck consisting of a truck connected to a semi-trailer; Maximum length, width and height of the vehicle - length, width and height of the vehicle with or without cargo, not exceeding the values specified in Section 3 of these standards; Maximum linear parameters vehicle - linear parameters not exceeding the values specified in section 3 of these standards; Maximum vehicle weight- the weight of the vehicle with or without cargo, which does not exceed the values specified in Section 4 of these standards; - mass transmitted through the vehicle axle to the surface of the road, not exceeding normative value;Indivisible cargo- cargo which, when transported by road, cannot be divided into two or more parts without excessive cost or risk of damage and which, when loaded onto a vehicle, will exceed its maximum dimensions and weight; Air suspension- a suspension system in which the shock-absorbing element is air; Cart- two or more axes having common suspension to the vehicle; Single axis- the axle of a vehicle located at a distance of more than 1.8 m from the nearest axle of this vehicle; Closed axes- axles (two or more) of a vehicle located at a distance between them of less than 1.8 m.2. Measuring the weight and dimensions of vehicles
2.1. The length of the vehicle is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 clause 6.1. In this case, when measuring length in accordance with the provisions of this standard, following devices, mounted on a vehicle: glass cleaning device and mud flaps; front and side marking plates; devices for sealing and protective devices for them; devices for securing tarpaulins and protective devices for them; equipment for electric lighting; rear view mirrors; devices for viewing the space behind the car; air tubes; length of valves and connectors for connection to trailers or swap bodies; steps for access to the body; tire lift; lifting platforms, access steps and similar equipment not exceeding 200 mm in operating position and designed in such a way that they do not increase the vehicle's loading weight limit; coupling devices for towing vehicles or trailers. 2.2. Vehicle height is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 clause 6.3. Moreover, when measuring height, taking into account the provisions of this standard, the following devices mounted on the vehicle should not be taken into account: antennas; pantograph in raised position. For vehicles equipped with a device for lifting an axle, the effect of this device is taken into account. 2.3. The width of the vehicle is measured in accordance with ISO 612-1978 clause 6.2. When measuring the width of a vehicle, taking into account the provisions of this standard, the following devices mounted on the vehicle should not be taken into account: devices for seals and seals and protective devices for them; devices for securing tarpaulins and protective devices for them; devices for identifying tire damage ; protruding flexible parts of mudguards; Lightning equipment; steps in the operative position, suspended platforms and similar equipment which, in the operative position, do not exceed 10 mm on each side of the vehicle and face forward or rearward, the corners of which are rounded with a radius of not less than 5 mm, and the edges of which are rounded with a radius of not less than 2 .5 mm; rearview mirrors; tire pressure indicators; retractable or retractable steps; the curved portion of a tire's surface that extends beyond its point of contact with the ground. 2.4. The axial mass of the vehicle is measured under dynamic vertical load, transmitted through a single axle to the surface of the road, from a loaded vehicle. The measurement is made by special truck scales who have passed certification in the prescribed manner. The axial mass of a trolley located on one suspension, taking into account the design of the vehicle, is determined as the sum of the measurements of the mass of each of the axles included in the trolley. 2.5. Full mass of a vehicle or part thereof forming part of a combination vehicle is defined as the sum of the measured masses of all axles of the vehicle or part thereof.3 . Maximum dimensions and other vehicle parameters
The maximum dimensions of vehicles, taking into account the dimensions of swap bodies and cargo containers, including containers, must not exceed the values given below. 3.1. Maximum length: truck - 12.00 m trailer - 12.00 m articulated vehicle - 16.5 m articulated bus - 18.00 m road train - 20.00 m 3.2. Maximum width: all vehicles - 2.50 m 3.3. Maximum height- 4.00 m 3.4. The maximum distance between the coupling locking axis and back semi-trailer must not exceed 12.00 m. 3.5. The maximum distance measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the road train from the outer front point of the body or the cargo stowage area behind the cab to the rear outer point of the trailer, minus the distance between the rear of the tractor and the front of the trailer, shall not exceed 15.65 m. 3.6. The maximum distance, measured parallel to the longitudinal axis of the road train, from the outer front point of the body or platform for loading cargo behind the cab to the rear outer point of the semi-trailer must not exceed 16.40 m. 3.7. The load installed in the body of the vehicle must not protrude beyond the rear outer point of the vehicle or trailer by more than 2.00 m. 3.8. Distance between rear axle of a truck and the front axle of a trailer must be at least 3.00 m. 3.9. The horizontally measured distance between the semi-trailer's hinge axis and any point on the front of the semi-trailer must not exceed 2.04 m. 3.10. When moving, any vehicle must be able to turn within a space limited by an outer radius of 12.50 m and an inner radius of 5.30 m. 3.11. The maximum distance between the coupling locking axis and the rear of the combination vehicle must not exceed 12.00 m.4 . Standard total weight of vehicles*

While laying out the next project (or just designing the layout grid), many were faced with a dilemma - to use fixed width layout or a “rubber” grid that adapts to the size of the browser window.
Each of these solutions has its own pros and cons; I want to focus on the minuses, since usually it is precisely in reflecting the minuses of these decisions that one has to choose between two evils.
Fixed layout grid width
The layout is forced into a horizontal dimension of 960-980 pixels (so that everything is included on most devices in most resolutions), which with large horizontal window sizes looks somehow chilly - a thin vertical strip of useful page content and huge useless fields of unused space on the sides.“Rubber” layout grid across the width of the window
Again, with large horizontal window sizes, there is another problem: the lines of text become very long, and reading them becomes not at all as comfortable as we would like.Another common problem with this solution is that the side margins with large horizontal window sizes are no longer visually consistent with the horizontal dimensions of the elements, which also does not add comfort when looking at the layout.
I would like to offer a simple solution - limit the minimum horizontal size fixed value in pixels, and make the maximum relative in percentage to the width of the window. This is a very trivial solution by simple means 2 more versions of the CSS specification.
Update: I would like to make a reservation that we are not talking about the classic rubber effect and adaptation to absolutely all resolutions, but rather only about a certain reasonable range of resolutions for which the layout is designed. In the examples below, this is the classic desktop resolution range with a horizontal resolution size of 1024 pixels.Let me emphasize again: The post is not talking about a solution for all types of devices and all resolution ranges. This problem cannot be solved in principle within the framework of one layout., to solve it one way or another will require several layouts. Flies separately, cutlets separately.
Create a layout container:
...
We decorate it with simple style code:
div.page-container ( min-width: 960px; max-width: 75%; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; )
However, this solution may seem insufficient to some due to the fact that with very large horizontal window sizes, problems with line lengths again appear. This can be solved with an equally simple additional technique: creating an additional outer container inside the one already described and limiting its maximum width to a fixed value (subjectively, it seems to me that values in the range of 1400-1600 pixels are best suited). Again, we use only CSS 2.0 tools. This solution, instead of simply adding the width as a percentage for the original container as proposed in the first comment, will also work in IE, which, up to version 9, does not understand simultaneous indication of values.
Adding HTML:
And change the CSS a little:
div.page-container ( max-width: 75%; min-width: 960px; margin: 0 auto; padding: 0; ) div.page-container-inner ( min-width: 960px; max-width: 1600px; margin : 0 auto; padding: 0; )
As you can see, the solution is extremely simple and quite universal; it can be used for any block elements.
Many car owners want something that will take your breath away and your adrenaline will skyrocket. Unfortunately, it’s not always possible to get away with it this way, since on any highway you have to deal with road signs that can simply inform the driver about something specific, or they can put forward a categorical prohibition. It is quite dangerous to ignore their instructions. First of all, road “assistants” are designed to ensure safety for everyone who takes an active part in the traffic on this site, of course, subject to their increased discipline.
You can only drive recklessly on specially equipped racetracks, and on highways it is important to impeccably follow traffic rules and behave with decorum and dignity. Drivers who have recently gotten behind the wheel of a vehicle, and who have not yet fully systematized in their heads all the knowledge acquired in a driving school, may be surprised by some prohibitions. In particular, there may be sections of roads on which a “Length Limit” sign is installed. If you also come across such a sign, you will have to figure out whether your vehicle is allowed to proceed further or not. Another sign that clearly indicates a width restriction may also prohibit further movement on the road.
We are ready to help you understand in what cases such road signs are installed, what they indicate, and we will also point out the consequences that arise in case of failure to comply with the requirements.
Length limitation sign
There is a great variety of vehicles that differ from each other technical characteristics, as well as external parameters. Of course, it can successfully move along a straight highway a car and also incredible large road train. However, some sections of roads are accompanied by certain hazards or engineering structures. Any engineering structure can only withstand certain loads. By exceeding them, the driver takes a serious risk, since destruction of the structure may occur, followed by an unpleasant and extremely dangerous situation, causing loss of health or even life.
For this reason, the driver is warned in advance that ahead he will have to encounter a section of the road on which driving, for example, with rangefinders, is prohibited.
Length limitation sign Sign requirements
Vehicles whose length does not exceed 12.5 meters can travel on Russian highways. A small exception is made for road trains, the length of which should not exceed 20 meters. However, even for those in demand for cargo transportation long cars Unimpeded passage is not allowed everywhere.
Road services install a sign indicating restrictions on the movement of vehicles in length, in places where it would be difficult for such vehicles to maneuver. Such places include bridges, tunnels, narrow streets, passages under bridges. If the driver ignores the prohibition, he himself may act as a source of danger for other vehicles moving in this place, as a result of which it will be almost impossible to avoid an accident.
Sign 3.15 Length Limit is very similar to Sign 3.4. Only the latter puts forward a categorical ban on the movement of anyone, and in the first case, trucks can proceed further if they have dimensions that do not exceed the specified standards. Having noticed such a prohibition, the driver must make adjustments to his route. Of course, be prepared for the fact that the duration of the journey may increase due to such a forced ban; you should not regret the wasted time and fuel; it is much worse to lose your health or life.
Road assistant indicating the restriction external dimensions of a vehicle, in particular its length, is quite often accompanied by a “pleasant information” neighborhood. In particular, a little lower there is an additional indicator, by paying attention to which you can immediately understand how much distance is left to dangerous area highways where the ban will begin to apply. Thanks to this information sign, the driver can change the route in advance.
Ignoring the requirements of the sign will result in administrative responsibility, which in most cases entails penalties. The size of the fine can vary, ranging from five hundred rubles and reaching ten thousand rubles. If the traffic police inspector has evidence that the driver maliciously violates traffic rules quite often, a different punishment may be applied to him. He will have to forget about his “iron” friend for a while, since it will be his vehicle for six months. If the vehicle does not belong to a specific to an individual, but is the property of some transport company, then administrative punishment also applies to company managers who indicated false information in the accompanying documents.
"Width limitation" sign
On highways, not only rangefinders may be banned, but also vehicles accompanied by sufficient width. The traffic rules operating not only in the Russian space, but also in the territories of the CIS countries, have developed uniform requirements relative to the external dimensions of cars. In particular, only vehicles whose width is standard, not exceeding 2.5 meters, can move freely on any section of highways.
"Width limitation" sign Sign requirements
Even if after training at a driving school some important questions not stuck in your head, you can, by showing constructive thinking, independently guess the reasons for putting forward some prohibitions. If on the route of the vehicle there is road sign"Width restriction" prohibiting further movement wide cars, which means it’s easy to guess that a narrow road awaits road users ahead.
A narrow space may be accompanied by bridges, tunnels, streets in locality. It is important to understand that when limiting movement along the width of the car, one should take into account not only the width of the structure of the vehicle itself, but also, which, due to its large size, can protrude beyond the body.
Most often, such prohibitions apply to construction equipment, tractors and heavy trucks. Sign 3.14 is installed in advance of sections of roads whose width is less than 3.5 meters. The numerical indicator can be located on white or yellow background. The color shade of the background of the road “assistant” determines whether it is permanent or temporary on the highway.
It is important to follow the instructions of the sign in order to ensure both yourself and other road users complete safety. Ignoring the requirements put forward may result in completely undesirable administrative penalties in the form of fines or a ban on driving due to deprivation of a license. The amount of penalties may vary depending on the extent of the excess width of the vehicle. If the excess is insignificant, not exceeding ten centimeters, then the fine will reach one and a half thousand rubles.
If the width of the vehicle exceeds the permissible limits by almost half a meter, the fine can increase to ten thousand. In addition, the driver may be deprived of the right to drive a car for six months.
So, in order to move freely on roads, so as not to incur penalties or other penalties, it is important to strictly follow the instructions of all road signs, including carefully monitoring the compliance of the external dimensions of the vehicle on certain sections of roads.
According to the Road Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as traffic regulations), the permissible vehicle width is 2 meters 60 centimeters for refrigerated vehicles and isothermal vans and 2 meters 55 centimeters for other vehicles. The maximum height of the vehicle is 4 meters. The maximum length of a road train including one trailer cannot exceed 20 meters, while the length of the tractor and the length of the trailer cannot exceed 12 meters.
The permissible weight of a two-axle vehicle (hereinafter referred to as vehicle) cannot exceed 18 tons, 25 tons for a 3-axle vehicle and 32 tons for a 4-axle vehicle. The weight of a 3-axle road train must not exceed 28 tons, a 4-axle road train 36 tons and a 5-axle road train 40 tons.
The maximum axle load at a distance of more than 2 meters between nearest axles should not exceed 10 tons per axle, at a distance from 1.65 to 2 meters inclusive 9 tons, at a distance from 1.35 to 1.65 m inclusive. maximum axle load should not exceed 8 tons, with a distance from 100 to 135 cm, the maximum axle load should not exceed 7 tons, and with a distance between nearest axles, the maximum axle load on 1 axle should not exceed 6 tons.
All vehicles that do not fit into the specified restrictions are oversized and must be licensed to drive on public roads. special permissions. For driving a vehicle exceeding these dimensions, the driver is fined or the driving license is confiscated in accordance with the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
The main problem is drivers' lack of understanding of these standards. So let's break it down into questions and answers.
B: car width 2.55 + mirrors. Is it oversized?
A: no, this is the size.
Q: Is it acceptable to overhang the load by 0.4 m on each side and 2 meters at the rear?
A: yes, but the width of the loaded vehicle cannot be more than 2.55 m, and the length of the road train cannot be more than 20 meters.
Q: What does the phrase “pierced along the axes” mean?
A: For example, a 3-axle truck drives onto the scale. Total weight less than 25 tons, distance between rear axles 135 cm, but the load on the rear trolley is 20 tons, i.e. not 8 tons per axle, but 10. This is not much better than that, if the truck weighed more than 25 tons.
Q: I was carrying tires (tires are taken as an example), on the road they fell apart, the awning was opened and my license was taken away. IDPS right?
A: Yes, IDPS is right because the dimensions of the vehicle are exceeded, but there is no permit. The driver is responsible for exceeding the dimensions.
Q: Will the walls of the refrigerator, which according to documents have a width of 2.6 m, be “inflated” even without cargo, be taken away?
A: yes, they will take it.
Q: The height of the vehicle on raised cushions (meaning axle cushions, similar to springs) in the transport position is 402 cm, will your license be taken away?
A: yes, the rights will be taken away. If in the transport position the vehicle exceeds the size, then this is your problem; the IDPS does not care about them. Try to bleed the air during stops or look for legal grounds that the measurement of your vehicle was not carried out in accordance with GOST.
Q: According to the documents, the cargo is 20 tons, it fits within the clearance, on the scales it turned out that there are 25 tons, who is to blame.
A: the shipper is to blame, he will pay for the entire “representation”, but, often, it is not always possible to immediately prove this, so legal delays are possible.
As you can see, the working conditions are quite harsh and the driver almost always has good chance to remain without documents, but you should not be afraid of this and give money, since giving a bribe is a serious offense, and your guilt still has to be proven in court. According to the stories of those who transport oversized cargo, there are years when they drive for 8-10 months a year not with a license, but with a temporary permit. The main thing is to know the laws, and not at the “heard somewhere” level, but the literal wording and, if possible, carry a collection of laws with you.
Transportation by road today is perhaps the most popular in the cargo transportation segment. Reasons: comparative accessibility and prevalence of road infrastructure compared to railway lines or air services. Distant road transport carried out both within one state and between neighboring countries that have common land borders. In order for a vehicle to move freely along the highways of any state without violating traffic regulations, permissible cargo dimensions for road transport are agreed upon and established at the international level.
Unified general standards of transportation
Unified weight and dimensional standards are fixed in mutual agreements international organizations, are duplicated and specified by the legislation of individual countries. Such complex rationing has as its goals:
- creation of uniform conditions for road transportation;
- ensuring road safety on all its sections;
- guaranteeing the safety of cargo and timeliness of delivery.
Maximum automotive standards in Europe
The maximum permissible dimensions and weight of cargo for through and enclosed road transport are regulated by both national legislation and international multilateral agreements - conventions and directives. The requirements for such parameters are strictly and unambiguously established, since, as stated in EU Directive No. 96/53, “differences between current standards regarding the weight and dimensions of commercial vehicles may have a negative effect on competition and act as an obstacle to transport between Member States of the European Union.”
Precise information on the maximum weights and dimensions of vehicles adopted in the countries of the European Community is given in the annexes to the directive:
Rationing of trucks in the Russian Federation
As for the Russian Federation, there is the federal law No. 257 “On highways and road activities", as well as the Government Decree dated April 15, 2011. No. 272. Paragraph 2 of this by-law states that road transportation of goods in international traffic across the territory of Russia is carried out in accordance with international treaties and Russian laws. Of greatest interest are the 1st and 3rd appendices concerning the permissible weight and maximum dimensions of cargo.
So, application 1 installs permissible masses depending on the type of vehicle, combination cargo platforms and number of axles. In the table below weight limits given in tons:
Appendix 3 is devoted to the maximum dimensions:
From here it follows that the heaviest and largest truck that is allowed to be rolled out onto domestic roads, in any case, should not weigh more than 44 tons and have a length of more than 20 and a height of more than 4 meters. Otherwise, there is oversized cargo.
Features of transportation of oversized cargo
Oversized cargo is a cargo whose weight and dimensions exceed the permitted limits. Transportation of goods exceeding the established dimensions is, in principle, permissible, but must be carried out in compliance with the following rules: special conditions, provided for in paragraph 23 Traffic Rules of the Russian Federation. So, if the load protrudes from the rear by more than 1 meter, and from the side by more than 40 cm, it is marked identification marks“Large cargo”, as well as lights and reflectors in white (front) and red (rear).
Movement oversized cargo protruding from the rear by more than 2 meters and exceeding 4 meters in height, as well as road trains, is carried out by special rules, installed regulations Government and order of the Ministry of Transport dated 2012 number 258:
- the route of movement of a heavy and (or) large-sized transporter is agreed upon in advance;
- special permits for the transportation of oversized items federal highways for general use is issued by an authorized body, namely the Federal Road Agency;
- movement along the route is accompanied by patrol cars Traffic police or military traffic police;
- If, after passing an oversize vehicle, the road surface or other elements of the road infrastructure are damaged, the owner of the vehicle is obliged to compensate for the damage caused.
Excess weight and dimensions when specifically ignored established rules is traffic violation and entails administrative liability.
Responsibility for violation of weight and dimensional requirements
For violation of established Russian legislation traffic rules requirements the dimensions of the transported cargo are subject to legal liability, in particular administrative. Administrative sanctions are applied to violators. Which? Fine or deprivation of the right to drive a vehicle for certain period. For detailed information on the size of administrative penalties for transported oversized items, see Article 12.21.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. It should be borne in mind that when an administrative case is initiated, an oversized transporter automatically ends up with the transported goods at the arrest site. And the delay causes additional expenses.
conclusions
From comparative analysis requirements for the dimensions and weight of transported goods, it can be seen that in general for the European Community and the Russian Federation these parameters are the same. The weight of a fifth-wheel or trailed road train with 6 or more axles cannot exceed 40 tons for Europe and 44 tons for Russia. The maximum height for all types of transport, both for us and for them, is 4 m. The maximum width is 2.55 meters, for refrigerators - 2.6. Standards trucks are the same for most countries, which is quite reasonable considering the goals of such rationing.
