New traffic rules introduced in Ukraine

What awaits the drivers? Already published a working version of the new rules.

A PRIORITY

By “main road” can refer either way, which is part of the exit from the territory of the enterprise, not just the designated special characters, or the asphalt road towards the ground. For drivers, this clarification is a positive, for example, in a traffic accident that happened at the exit from the paved road on a dirt.

STOPPING IN ORDER

Another new rule requires a driver, when stopping his employee of DAI, get out of the car onto the sidewalk or curb. At present there is no legal act which obliges the driver to leave the vehicle. But in the draft clearly states that to stop cars and ask for verification documents can only police officer in the performance of their duties (in the “Cossacks-environmentalists” can not respond).

Driver protection

According to the new SDA driver will be entitled to compensation in case of damage caused by a mismatch condition of roads driving conditions. Such an initiative would protect the rights of the driver in the event of a collision with a pit, as well as also on charges of violation of traffic rules, if he damaged the car through bad roads (at the moment no such right).

INSURANCE

Now, for driving a car without insurance drivers will bear the same responsibility as for driving an unregistered car or cars that do not pass inspection.

STATE DRIVER

Another initiative – equate drivers who are driving a vehicle, are ill or fatigued, to alcohol and drug intoxication. In this connection, there is a risk that the police may abuse this right. Because it is not clear how the driver is to prove that it “is not fatigued.”

OVERTAKING

On roads with two-way traffic (4 lanes) banned from traveling into oncoming traffic – This requirement is consistent with the current rules. But just want to read the lanes marked-not even part of the road and adhere to the established road width of 2.75 m Optionally, the question arises: how the driver must calculate the number of lanes on the road?

PARKING AND STOPPING

Efforts also requirements and minibuses. They will stop only in specially equipped places. At the moment, no such prohibition.

Many discussions cause parking rules on the sidewalks. At the moment, if parking is allowed for pedestrians is a distance not less than 2 meters. The project also specific figures are replaced by the phrase “where parking is not lead to significant disturbance to pedestrians.” But at the crossroads of the parking distance reduced to reached the 10 authorized up to 5 meters.

SPEED

Cabinet has developed rules that allow travel at speeds up to 110 km / h dual carriageway road, separated one from the other strikers or greenery, if they do not cross pedestrian crossings.
