Sign 3.13 “Height limitation”

Road sign 3.13 “Height limit” is used to prohibit the movement of vehicles whose overall height (laden or unladen) is greater than that indicated on the sign.

The height indicated on the sign is 0.2 - 0.4 meters less than the actual height. These are the norms. Moreover, this difference between the actual height and the height indicated on the sign can be increased depending on the evenness of the road surface (the number on the sign is slightly less than the actual span height).

If the height of the vehicle (with or without a load) is greater than indicated on the sign, then the driver must drive around the road section along a different route. To warn the driver about the vehicle height restriction ahead, sign 3.13 is duplicated, i.e. are also pre-installed.

Preliminary sign 3.13 “Height limit” with a plate is installed behind the intersection at the beginning of the road section where vehicle height restrictions are introduced. Accordingly, at this intersection it is possible to choose a different route.

Believes that the court did not correctly apply the rules of substantive law; Article 1083 of the Civil Code was not applied Russian Federation. The complainant believes that the traffic accident on June 6, 2006 was due to the plaintiff’s gross negligence due to the absence of a “Height Limit” warning sign on the overpass and pipeline.
The complaint was considered in the absence of persons participating in the case, in accordance with Article 156 of the Arbitration Procedure Code of the Russian Federation.
The legality and validity of the appealed decision has been verified arbitration court the appellate instance in the manner prescribed by Articles 266, 268 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation.
As follows from the case materials, 06/06/2006 on the street. Mayakovskogo, 18 in Izhevsk, on the territory of PA "O", a traffic accident occurred, as a result of which a KAMAZ 54112, state-owned vehicle. number S986KA/18, owned by LLC "S" under the right of ownership, under the control of an employee of LLC "S" P., hit an overpass, a heating main.
As a result of the incident, the overpass received mechanical damage, and the owner (PO "O") suffered material damage, consisting of the cost of repair and construction work of the heating main and steel overpass and the cost of work to assess the damaged property.
The ownership of the territory of the base where the traffic accident occurred, as well as the damaged heating main of PA "O" is confirmed by the documents available in the case materials (certificate of the Union of Consumer Societies of the Udmurt Republic dated February 22, 2007 (vol. 1, pp. 75) , the act of establishing (restoring, determining the location of established) boundaries land plot dated September 27, 2002 (vol. 1, pp. 100), Decree of the administration of Izhevsk “On the provision of land plots to the consumer company “Optovik” for lease for the operation and maintenance of a warehouse at 18 Mayakovsky Street in the Leninsky district "dated 02.12.2004 N 531/7 (vol. 1, pp. 104), agreement on amendments to the land lease agreement dated 29.04.2005 N 261/3 (vol. 1, pp. 105).
The cost of repair and construction work to restore the heating main and steel overpass is in the amount of 315,246 rubles. determined on the basis of the report of the limited liability company "E" N 49н-06/2006 (vol. 1, pp. 18-37), the costs of the assessment amounted to 2,400 rubles. Thus, the amount of damage caused to PA "O" as a result of a traffic accident amounted to 317,646 rubles. 00 kop. (RUB 315,246 + RUB 2,400). The plaintiff's actual costs for restoring the damaged property amounted to RUB 326,103. 62 kopecks, which is confirmed by a certificate of the cost of work performed and expenses for February 2007, invoice N 00000014 dated February 28, 2007 and payment documents (payment orders N 1001 dated March 20, 2007, N 1002 dated March 20. 2007, promissory note No. 10 in the amount of 176,103 rubles. 32 kopecks - vol. 1, pp. 130-134).
By letter dated 07/03/2006 No. 4, closed joint-stock company "M" informed PO "O" about the refusal to pay insurance compensation due to the fact that the traffic accident occurred on the plaintiff's internal territory and therefore does not apply to insured events of civil liability of the owners vehicles (vol. 1, p. 14).
The plaintiff's appeal to the defendant for voluntary compensation for the damage caused was left unsatisfied by LLC "S" (vol. 1, pp. 14).
These circumstances served as the basis for PO "O" to apply to the Arbitration Court of the Udmurt Republic with this claim. In support of the stated requirements, the plaintiff refers to Articles 1064, 1079 Civil Code Russian Federation.
The defendant, objecting to the claim, indicated that the plaintiff had not proven ownership of the heating main and the steel overpass, and there was no illegality in the behavior of the tortfeasor as a necessary condition for the application of Article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation; in the territory where the traffic accident occurred, no measures were taken to organize traffic(absence of a "Height limitation" sign on the steel overpass and pipeline) in accordance with the requirements Federal Law dated December 10, 1995 N 196-FZ “On Road Safety” (vol. 1, pp. 50-51).
According to the court of appeal, the court of first instance came to a legitimate conclusion about the validity of the claims of PA "O".
According to paragraph 1 of Article 1064 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, harm caused to the person or property of a citizen, as well as harm caused to the property of a legal entity, is subject to compensation in full by the person who caused the harm.
In accordance with paragraph 1 of Article 1079 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a legal entity and citizens whose activities are associated with an increased danger to others (use of vehicles, mechanisms, electrical energy high voltage, nuclear energy, explosives, potent poisons, etc., carrying out construction and other related activities, etc.), are obliged to compensate for damage caused by a source of increased danger, unless they prove that the damage arose due to an indeterminable force or the intent of the victim.
The owner of a source of increased danger may be released by the court from liability in whole or in part also on the grounds provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 1083 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.
Legal entities and citizens compensate for harm caused by their employee in the performance of labor (official, official) duties (clause 1 of Article 1068 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
According to Article 1082 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, one of the methods of compensation for harm is compensation for losses.
By virtue of Article 15 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, a person whose right has been violated may demand full compensation for the losses caused to him, while losses are understood as expenses that the person whose right has been violated has made or will have to make to restore the violated right, loss or damage to it property (real damage), as well as lost income that this person would have received under normal conditions of civil circulation if his right had not been violated (lost profit).
The case materials confirm the damage caused to the plaintiff related to the traffic accident (P.’s explanations dated 06.06.2006 (vol. 1, case file 54, volume 2, case file 12-14), explanations of Sh. dated 06.06.2006 (vol. 2, pp. 15), resolution to terminate proceedings in the case of an administrative offense dated 06.07.2006 (vol. 2, pp. 4).
The actual cause of harm is an employee of LLC "S" P. The driver's actions are in a causal relationship with the harmful consequences that occurred. To confirm the ownership of the vehicle by LLC "S", a copy of the technical passport dated November 16, 2005 No. 18 OM 452910 (vol. 2, pp. 16) was presented in the case materials.

The defendant's arguments that the plaintiff, in violation of Article 21 of the Federal Law of December 10, 1995 N 199-FZ "On Road Safety", paragraph 2.14.12 of GOST 23457-86, approved by the Decree of the USSR State Standard of June 24, 1986 N 1685, did not mark the overpass and heating main with a warning sign “Height Limitation”, was rightfully rejected by the court of first instance.
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 1083 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, if the gross negligence of the victim himself contributed to the occurrence or increase of harm, depending on the degree of guilt of the victim and the causer of harm, the amount of compensation should be reduced.
The fact that there is no Height Limit sign on the damaged heating main does not in itself indicate the fault of the injured party.
According to paragraph 2.14.12 of GOST 23457-86, approved by Decree of the USSR State Standard of June 24, 1986 N 1685, the “Height Limitation” sign should be used to prohibit the movement of vehicles whose overall height (with or without cargo) is greater than that indicated on the sign , if the distance from the surface of the road surface to the bottom of the span of an artificial structure, power line, etc. less than 5 meters. A similar provision is enshrined in paragraph 5.4.10 of the current GOST R 52289-2004, approved by Order of Rostechregulirovanie dated December 15, 2004 N 120-ST.
The defendant, citing the plaintiff’s failure to comply with the specified GOST requirements, believes that if there was a “Height Limitation” sign, damage to the heating main could have been avoided. The plaintiff’s failure to take measures to equip the heating main with a “Height Limitation” sign indicates, in the defendant’s opinion, gross negligence of the plaintiff (victim), which contributed to causing damage to his property (clause 2 of Article 1083 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).
These arguments of the defendant are unfounded, since the absence of a “Height Limitation” sign on the heating main owned by the plaintiff is not causally related to the damage to the heating main caused by the defendant’s employee.
In accordance with paragraph 23.5 of the Traffic Rules, approved by Government Decree No. 1090 of October 23, 1993 (hereinafter referred to as the Traffic Rules), the transportation of heavy and dangerous goods, the movement of a vehicle whose overall dimensions, with or without cargo, exceed 2 in width .55 m (2.6 m for refrigerators and isothermal bodies), a height of 4 m from the surface of the roadway, a length (including one trailer) of 20 m, are carried out in accordance with special rules.
In accordance with the Instructions for the transportation of bulky and heavy cargo by car on the roads of the Russian Federation, approved by the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation on May 27, 1996 (hereinafter referred to as the Instructions), transportation of large-sized cargo must be carried out with mandatory control measurements of the height under overpasses and other artificial structures and communications along the transportation route (clause 5.11 of the Instructions).
From the presented documents it is clear that in violation of the above provisions of the Instruction, the necessary approvals and permits were not obtained, the driver (P.) did not make control measurements of the height, but was guided by the advice of the loader (P.’s explanations dated 06/06/2006, Sh.’s explanations dated 06/06/2006).
Referring to the absence of guilt of the harm-doer in causing the losses, the defendant points out that P.’s actions did not establish the elements of the offense (resolution on termination of proceedings in the case of an administrative offense dated 06/07/2006 (vol. 2, pp. 4) , the decision of Industrial district court Izhevsk dated April 13, 2007 N 12-149-07 (vol. 1, pp. 144), decision of the Supreme Court of the Udmurt Republic N 7-89 (vol. 2, pp. 145).
At the same time, when considering a case of an administrative offense based on a traffic accident, it was established only that P.’s actions did not constitute an offense entailing liability under clause 10.1 of the Traffic Rules, that is, exceeding the established speed limit without taking into account the characteristics and condition of the vehicle and cargo , road and meteorological conditions. However, the damage was caused by other reasons, namely, the fact that the driver did not take measures to find out whether the height of his load allows driving under the heating main and overpass, therefore, in such circumstances, compliance with the speed limit does not matter,
The listed circumstances indicate the guilt of the defendant and do not prove the gross negligence of the victim himself, which excludes the possibility of releasing the defendant from liability.
The defendant has not presented evidence to refute the fact of damage established by the documents listed above. Therefore, the court of first instance reasonably considered it proven that the defendant’s employee was guilty of committing an unlawful act, as a result of which the plaintiff incurred expenses for restoring the damaged heating main and overpass (Article 65 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation).
The defendant's arguments that in the territory where the traffic accident occurred there is a road, since this strip of land is adapted and used by PA "O" for the movement of vehicles, which is confirmed by the Regulations on the access control regime of the PA "O" enterprise, rejected by the appellate court the following reasons.
In accordance with Article 21 of the Federal Law of December 10, 1995 N 196-FZ “On Road Traffic Safety,” measures to organize road traffic in order to increase its safety and road capacity are carried out by federal executive authorities, executive authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local government bodies, legal entities and individuals in charge of roads.
The concept of “road” is given in paragraph 1.2 of the Traffic Rules and is defined as a strip of land or a surface of an artificial structure that is equipped or adapted and used for the movement of vehicles.
The territory where the traffic accident occurred was provided by PA “O” for the operation and maintenance of the warehouse base and, in accordance with the Traffic Rules, is an “adjacent territory,” that is, an area directly adjacent to the road and not intended for through traffic of vehicles (yards, residential areas, parking lots, gas stations, businesses, etc.). The fact that the territory of the base, in fact, is a technological site, and not a road, is confirmed by the fact that on the available cartographic and schematic materials of the territory provided by PA "O", the road is a separate strip of land, equipped and adapted for the movement of vehicles funds, not indicated (Resolution of the administration of Izhevsk on the provision of a land plot dated December 2, 2004 N 531/7 (vol. 1, pp. 104, 109), plan of the land plot (vol. 1, pp. 101-103), map (plan) of the land plot provided for lease (appendix to agreement N 261/3 (vol. 1, pp. 108), diagram of the incident (vol. 2, pp. 7, 8) .
In addition, the damage to the heating main that occurred on the territory of the base was not regarded by the insurance organization as an insured event, since it did not take place on the road, but on the internal territory of the organization.
The court of first instance assessed this circumstance, rightfully referring to subparagraph "i" of paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Federal Law of April 25, 2002 N 40-FZ "On compulsory insurance of civil liability of vehicle owners" and subparagraph "k" of paragraph 9 of the Rules of Compulsory Insurance civil liability of owners of vehicles approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2003 N 263.
In addition, the Regulations on the checkpoint regime of the enterprise PA "O", submitted to the case materials by the defendant, approved by the chairman of the Council of PA "O" on 01.09.99, provides that in the event of damage caused during loading, unloading of goods, as well as during passage on the territory of an enterprise, the owner of a vehicle who causes harm to the owner of the enterprise or third parties is liable for the damage caused in the manner prescribed by law (clause 7 of the Regulations). This situation was known to the employees of the defendant, which is also located on the territory of PA "O" at the address: Izhevsk, st. Mayakovsky, 18.
According to the plaintiff, the amount of losses incurred to restore the damaged heating main, in accordance with the report of the limited liability company "E" N 49n-06/2006, amounts to 315,246 rubles. (vol. 1, pp. 18-36). The assessment was carried out by the limited liability company "E", which has a license dated 09/04/01 N 000766, certificate dated 10/13/2005 N 432 (vol. 1, pp. 47-49) and has the right to carry out appraisal activities .
The cost of services for assessing the specified damage is 2,400 rubles. the plaintiff paid, which is confirmed by payment order dated 07/03/2006 N 4230 (vol. 1, pp. 59).
The court of first instance calculated the amount of damage caused in the amount of 308,910 rubles, based on the costs of repairs made by the plaintiff without taking into account the cost of scrap metal according to the acceptance certificate dated November 16, 2006 N 4834, and also in the amount of 2,400 rubles. in terms of the costs of assessing damaged property, which in total amounted to RUB 311,310.
Under such circumstances, the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Udmurt Republic dated November 26, 2007 (the operative part dated November 20, 2007) is legal and justified, adopted in accordance with the norms of substantive and procedural law and cannot be canceled (Article 271 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation) .
The state fee for the appeal is attributed to its applicant in accordance with Article 110 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation.
Based on the above and guided by Articles 176, 258, 268, 269, 271 of the Arbitration Procedural Code of the Russian Federation, the Seventeenth Arbitration Court of Appeal
decided:
the decision of the Arbitration Court of the Udmurt Republic dated November 26, 2007 in case No. A71-234/2007 is left unchanged, the appeal is not satisfied.

The resolution can be appealed in cassation proceedings to the Federal Arbitration Court of the Ural District within two months from the date of its adoption through the Arbitration Court of the Perm Territory.
Information about the time, place and results of consideration of the cassation appeal can be obtained on the website of the Federal Arbitration Court of the Ural District www.fasuo.arbitr.ru.

The sign is used to prohibit the movement of vehicles whose overall height (with or without cargo) is greater than that indicated on the sign. The sign is installed in cases where the distance from the surface of the road surface to the bottom of the span of an artificial structure, utilities, etc. less than 5 m.

The height indicated on the sign should be less than the actual one by 0.2-0.4 m for utilities, by 0.3 and 0.4 m for overpasses carrying roads and roads, respectively. railway. The difference between the actual and indicated height may be increased depending on the smoothness of the road surface. Repeated sign 3.13 may be installed on the span of an artificial structure, and if there is a clearance gate in front of it, on the gate.

The signs are made of galvanized metal 0.8-1 mm thick, with double flanging, which provides additional rigidity to the sign body. Each sign has two attachment points in the form of “tongues”. The fastening elements are attached to the body using the puckering method, which does not distort the image of the sign and provides much higher reliability than spot welding or riveting.

There are currently height restrictions on roads across the country. According to GOST, when using road devices, in particular those of a cargo nature, the dimensions through which safe movement on highways is carried out must be taken into account. The geometry in the traffic rules is formulated in accordance with agreements concluded by Russia, bearing international character. In addition to our country, it includes states that are members of the CIS. Width and other height restrictions are indicated in the specified act. The paragraph is worded 6.3. Mathematics indicates that the EAC has a height limit of four meters. In China, the limit for vehicles will be 4.3 meters.

The height restriction sign is prohibitive. There are separate provisions regarding it in the legislation. In particular, the legislator reflects the rules according to which the specified sign is installed. This is done to ensure safety for the residents of the country.

Places for such installation are:

sections of the route where gas pipelines are located;
location of the overpass;
bridges.

This also includes other structures that allow cars to pass under them. Height restriction signs are also placed in areas where tunnels are located. Any route must be built taking into account what is shown on the map. According to the rules, the use of these structures is permitted in the case when the car has a lower height than that provided for by the building.

Travel on the metro is not affected by these provisions. The gate in some situations also has an indication of the sign in question. Carrying cargo by transport is also required in accordance with established regulations. The height sign indicates the maximum size that a car can have. Car drivers must take these provisions into account. The height will be called in meters. In this case, the motorist takes into account not only the car itself, but also the cargo that it is transporting.

The general level - those who on their way do not comply with the established rules regarding the height of the car and the load - will not experience negative consequences. In this situation, liability measures are applied to violators. These provisions are enshrined in legislation. In addition, it is worth considering that the performance of these actions while driving indicates a violation of the structure under which the car passes. It also harms the health of pedestrians and other motorists.

The main violation may be that the fence is destroyed and falls on a person; damage is also caused to devices that supply light, systems through which video surveillance is carried out and other important objects. In fact, the person managing at the moment in question vehicle, violates the rules established by law. These provisions apply to all motorists traveling throughout the country.

If there is a traffic violation, the driver will not be able to avoid punishment. When moving around objects where there are signs with restrictions, he violates the rules regarding moving on them. Installation is carried out in accordance with the specified provisions of the law. You won't be able to buy protection from punishment. Responsibility measures of an administrative nature are assigned. In addition, those provisions reflected in the civil law may also apply. An important line is that the consequences of the violation must be taken into account.

The sign regarding height restrictions has the form of a prohibition and is installed on the ground. It is worth considering that installation work on the installation of this sign are carried out before the coverage area of the sign in question begins. The placement of the height vector, as an example, can be fixed as 3.5 meters. It depends on what maximum size is provided by the design as possible. The height that affects the distance from pedestrian crossing or another area on the floor of the road to the edge of the building. In this case, the lower edge is taken into account. The location of the sea does not matter in in this case.

According to the established GOST, a small reserve distance is established relative to the value under consideration. Photos of symbols in this situation are not included in the legislative provisions. However, legislators indicate that for such buildings as overpasses and bridges the height will be approximately twenty cm less, while for various types of overpasses this distance becomes less than about 40 cm. The specified centimeters are subtracted from the height that is permissible by law. Provisions are made according to which escape or fire routes may be laid at a given distance in the future.

The designation of this sign applies only to freight transport.

In particular, it is indicated:

The sign to some extent repeats legislative provisions. They affect the rules of vertical marking.
Such markings are applied to structures that have a side or top character.

In order for the sign to be visible in the dark, its design will be depicted using paint that has reflective properties. Evacuation, even from a familiar site, is carried out in accordance with detour signs. Garages also have height restrictions in some situations. Flight to aircraft may also affect the de-wetting positions, which indicates the impossibility of lowering aircraft to a certain level.

The construction of the buildings in question is carried out at the level prescribed by law. If the sign is applied to a yellow background, this indicates that it is temporary. When there are discrepancies between permanent signs and temporary ones, you need to follow the information reflected in the latter.

Responsibility

You can download traffic rules privately and repeat this periodically, especially for novice drivers. The legislator stipulates that all motorists must take such provisions into account. The consequences of non-compliance with the prescribed rules are various factors. In particular, when a person decides to defy physics to drive under buildings in front of which the act in question is installed, the consequence will be a disaster. Spikes can snag a structure.

When a truck tries to drive under these buildings, its structure is damaged. The damage is mechanical in nature. Moreover, these provisions apply to both transport and engineering buildings. In this case, the driver puts his health and life at risk, and also threatens others with his actions. At the same time, those who are innocent of anything suffer.

There are situations when a motorist drives through a structure at his own risk and does not cause damage to the car or structure - in fact, there is a violation of administrative regulations.

In this case, the following may apply to the violator:

penalties;
They are expressed in the amount of 500 rubles.

It is recommended to exercise considerable caution in these situations. This applies to the entire time the vehicle is being driven. In this case, this allows you not to lose your attention to all the warnings that are located along the route. If a motorist pays attention to all the signs, this helps him reach his destination as quickly as possible. Such provisions are associated with the absence of the need to return to a certain point on the route in order to take a detour. Detour signs are installed next to those indicated. If cargo is damaged, the violator will bear financial and other liability. A height restriction sign is important among traffic rules.

It is unlikely that you will be able to rush along roads where you will not encounter a single road sign. They are the main assistants, indicating to drivers what actions he should take in specific areas in order to avoid, avoid undesirable consequences. A variety of road signs are installed along the sides of roads, among which there is a specific group that strictly prohibits the performance of certain maneuvers.

Each country introduces some restrictions not only on the amount of cargo transported, but also on the height of the vehicle itself. In particular, Russian legislation stipulates that the maximum height should not exceed four meters. By the way, this requirement is also put forward by the CIS countries, so a heavy truck, the height of which reaches 5 m, will not be able to rush unhindered along their and Russian roads if engineering structures are encountered on its way.

However, this does not mean that exactly the same requirements apply in other countries. If anyone has already been to China, they know that they allow vehicles whose height does not exceed 4.3 meters to transport cargo. It is important to note that the restrictions imposed on the permissible maximum height on different sections of roads may differ. To ensure that the driver can strictly follow the traffic rules, signs indicating height restrictions are installed on the roads.

Appointment of a road "assistant"

Installation of this is carried out on those sections of roads where there are bridges, overpasses, overpasses, under which cars have to pass. Exactly the same signs are placed before entering the tunnels. Even a child can understand why this is being done, since the space of the structure itself has a certain size, so it will certainly be difficult for a larger vehicle to squeeze into it.

Road sign requirements

The “Height Limit” road sign indicates to the driver of the vehicle a specific height prohibition. In this case, the driver must take into account not only the parameters of the vehicle itself, but also the cargo that is being transported, which, accordingly, rises upward, acting as a concrete obstacle.

If you ignore the requirements of this sign, if a car whose size exceeds the permissible standards passes under certain engineering structures, it will not be possible to avoid disastrous consequences. In particular, heavy trucks can damage the structures themselves, followed by other unforeseen troubles. Due to structural destruction, if the car touched and damaged crossings over the road, created specifically for the safe movement of citizens. Due to excess specified parameters Video surveillance systems and lighting devices may fail.

The driver of a vehicle who ignores the prohibition of the established sign actually violates the traffic rules. As you know, if you violate traffic rules, you cannot escape responsibility. By trying to drive on a road with a height limit, the driver clearly violates traffic rules, for which he is forced to bear administrative or civil liability, depending on the consequences.

Sign installation rules

The sign is installed on several sections of the road, including even before the car approaches the engineering structure. This is done so that the driver has the opportunity, having noticed a restriction that applies to his car, to make a maneuver that involves changing the route. In this case, the driver will not have to panic about the fact that he is completely, therefore, does not understand which way it is easier for him to turn in order to proceed unhindered, bypassing the zone forbidden for him.

Below the numerical limiter circled in red, an additional sign must be installed, on which an arrow is depicted indicating in which direction it is better to continue moving. The sign is re-posted on the structure itself in case the driver was previously inattentive and missed the initial important warning.

The sign itself indicates the numerical value of the maximum height. The calculation of permissible values is carried out by specialists taking into account a certain additional margin, the value of which can reach forty centimeters. Such a reserve is important because over time, roads need repair work; accordingly, a new road surface can be laid, following such actions the total value between the structure and the road is reduced by several centimeters.

It doesn’t hurt to pay attention to the color background on which the numerical indicator of the restriction is written. If the background is accompanied by a white background, then the height ban is permanent. If you notice a yellow background, then the restrictions are temporary.

Whatever the color of the background, its paint is accompanied by reflective characteristics, so the driver of the vehicle can easily detect the warning even at night.

Responsibility for violation

Every driver must strictly follow traffic rules. However, it should be borne in mind that the consequences that may arise due to non-compliance with traffic rules may be different. If a driver tries to speed along a road on which there is a ban related to the height limit of the vehicle, such rash actions will be followed by a disaster. A heavy truck simply will not be able to pass unhindered under engineering structures, so mechanical damage to the vehicle itself, as well as engineering structures that it encounters along the route, will follow. Unfortunately, in such situations, the person driving the car risks not only his own health, and sometimes even the life, but also those of those road users who, by chance, happened to be nearby at the time of the accident.

Even if the driver took a risk and rushed under the structures without damage, but the height of the vehicle still exceeded the permissible value, the driver is subject to administrative liability, which implies a strict penalty of five hundred rubles.

So, it is quite important to be extremely careful during the entire period of driving a vehicle. This will ensure that no traffic warning is overlooked. “Helpers” will help car owners get to their destination quickly, easily bypassing all obstacles, and also avoid unpleasant adventures associated with the destruction of structures, damage to the car or the cargo being transported.
