Question from Sasha Ferz:
Kyiv, intersection of Murmanska and Kyoto streets.
1. At the intersection of Murmanska and Kyoto, I need to turn right. Directly before the intersection, there is a through passage through the parking lot that allows bypassing the intersection (usually the barrier at the entrance is lowered). As far as I know, transit traffic through residential areas is prohibited. However, there are no signs here that would prohibit it. Does the traffic rules allow me to perform such a maneuver?
2. The same section, but from the side of Kyoto Street.
I wonder why a broken line marking was applied in this place. After all, for any maneuver, for example, a U-turn, on both sides of the road near this gap there is an intersection where you can turn around without interfering with other road users.
Answer from experts of the Karat driving school:
1. The territory you are talking about, in accordance with the general provisions of the Ukrainian traffic rules, falls under the following definition: "adjacent territory — territory adjacent to the edge of the roadway and not intended for through traffic, but only for entering courtyards, parking lots, gas stations, construction sites, etc., or exiting from them." Thus, transit traffic through this zone is prohibited.
2) The marking was applied to provide the possibility of a left turn for vehicles serving the enterprise to enter its territory or exit from there.
We cannot assess how justified the gap in this marking is. Perhaps the enterprise to which the entrance leads has a technological need for such a solution.
Recall that AutoPortal has already reported on whether the traffic police has the right to fine drivers for parking on a lawn.
If you do not understand signs or markings on the roads of Ukraine — send your questions with the city and address to [email protected].
All answers will appear in the "Traffic Rules Lessons" section.
