Rules of the regulator: SDA

Rules of the regulator - this is perhaps one of the most complex and incomprehensible topics concerning traffic rules. But they need to know, whatever one may say. Therefore, in every driving school, special attention is paid to the study of such topics as the rules of the regulator. Well, it's worthwhile to talk in more detail about how to teach them and how it's more convenient to remember.

About light signals

It is interesting that the traffic light is a kind of traffic controller. It is he who gives drivers and pedestrians a light signal (which is sometimes accompanied by sound), telling who and where to move. In traffic lights signals of red, yellow, green, and also white-lunar color are applied. Sometimes they are endowed with a section with an arrow that shows the direction of further movement instead of the regulator. Even the trams have traffic lights (they are also burning white-moon color).

Everyone knows for sure the meaning of each shade, but it's worth talking about them just in case. So, the green signal allows movement. The flashing green performs the same function, only it also informs the person that another light will soon turn up. Yellow is a signal that prohibits movement. Flashing informs that a person (pedestrian or driver) has got to an unregulated intersection or a pedestrian crossing. A red (both normal and flashing) prohibits movement. If a person sees how the scarlet is combined with yellow, then it should be perceived as a ban on traffic and information that the green signal will soon turn on.

About the most important signals: hands are extended or lowered

Rules of the regulator, in fact, are simple. That's just confusing. To once and for all to understand them, it is necessary either to memorize all decisions, or somehow remember. However, for starters I would like to talk about the signals that the regulator himself gives.

If the hands are down or stretched, then this can mean one of the two. First, from the right and left sides, the vehicle is allowed to move directly and to the right. Pedestrians are allowed to cross the roadway.

Second: if the hand with the baton is located on the chest or back, the movement of all vehicles (cars, taxis, trolleybuses, bicycles, horses, which are also a kind of vehicle and must follow the traffic rules) is prohibited. Pedestrians also can not cross the roadway.

If the right hand is extended forward or raised

How do the rules of the regulator explain these gestures? Here, as in the previous case, there are several meanings. So, if the hand is extended forward from the side of the left side, the vehicle can move in any direction. From the chest - then you need to go exclusively to the right. Such gesture from the back or right side prohibits movement to all vehicles. And pedestrians are allowed to cross the roadway, if only this happens behind the back of the regulator.

And when the hand is lifted up, it means only one thing - the movement of any vehicles, just like pedestrians, is prohibited in all directions.

It is important to know

What else regulate the rules of the regulator? SDA contain some more interesting information. And it needs to be studied. The regulator has the right to hand gestures and other signals, but only those that will be understood by pedestrians and drivers as permitting or prohibiting traffic. All, for example, know a circular rotation with a rod. This, you can say, "urging" gesture, requiring that the motorist rode faster.

It is also important to know that to improve visibility the regulator has the right to use a wand with a retroreflector.

Drivers are required to know that to make a turn or turn at a regulated intersection they need to occupy an appropriate place on the carriageway. This is a prerequisite. Although there are exceptions - marking, known under the numbering 1.18 or two special characters (5.15.1 and 5.15.2). They determine the movement along the lanes, and every driver must also know them. Markup performs almost the same function. It indicates the permitted directions for the bands that are available at the regulated intersection.

What you need to pay attention to

The rules of the regulator (SDA) must be learned also because they are relevant to those that will come in handy sooner or later. It is important for any future driver to know that the requirement to stop the car (minibus or any other vehicle) can be served either with a special gesture (usually the regulator guides the hand on the machine) or through the loudspeaker device. This can not be ignored.

Sometimes a whistle is used as an additional signal. Due to this it is possible to attract the attention of drivers.

Be sure to follow

Everyone should know that in front of the stop line you need to stop when the traffic light is turned off (the exception is reversible) or the operator is standing. Rules, when none of the above is there, still have to comply. We must stop in front of the intersected roadway - due to this it will not interfere with pedestrians. It is also necessary to slow down before moving. E. Paths. And in other places too - just before the traffic controller or traffic light. But it is important to make a stop so as not to interfere with other vehicles and, of course, pedestrians.

On the contradictions

What if the driver can not stop when the yellow signal lights up and the handler lifts the hand? The rules allow you to continue driving. In general, if the machine has already started to move in a certain direction, and the regulator then has already shown something - then do not stop. The next gesture will be considered valid for the vehicle standing next "in line" for the journey.

Now a few words about pedestrians. People who crossed the roadway at the time the signal was being sent must leave it. Or, to slow down on a line that is separating between traffic flows.

And of course, another important nuance concerning such a topic as the rules of the movement. The regulator has every right to contradict traffic light signals. And if the driver falls into such a situation, then one should be guided, of course, by the gestures that a person with a staff shows.

Will help not to get confused

Many people find it difficult to give the rules of a traffic controller. Well, in order to avoid confusion, it is worth remembering one order. Firstly, it is important to consider which side the regulator will turn to the motorist. Chest and back - this is a ban on movement, you must remember. The left shoulder and the right shoulder are the resolution. And in order to understand whether it is possible to cross the intersection, it is necessary to check whether the vehicle enters the "sleeve" of a person with a baton. This is the key moment that these rules of the road contain.

Does the regulator stand on the road with his hands raised or lowered? You can go, but only if the motorist approaches the left or right shoulder. The left hand is lowered down, and the right one is extended forward? So you can move only from the chest and left shoulder.

There is one simple phrase that helps many to cope with the study and memorization of traffic rules concerning intersections and their overcoming. Motorists can move in the direction of the hands of the regulator, that is - "from one sleeve to another", and also to the right.
