TEXT III 

Passing at restrictive signal of traffic light or at restrictive motion of regulator

Vocabulary to be remembered.

Read and translate the text paying attention to the vocabulary.

Passing at restrictive signal of traffic light or at restrictive motion of regulator.

1. The object of administrative violation is traffic safety. To provide traffic safety, regulation of transport means traffic using traffic light signals and regulator's motions are foreseen by Traffic Rules. Drivers must follow requirements of regulator even if they differ from traffic light signals, traffic signs and marking requirements.

Regulator is a person authorized to regulate traffic and to fulfill this regulation with the help of signals, established by Rules. Regulator must wear uniform or have distinction mark and equipment. Regulators are police and traffic control policeemployees and also employees of traffic operational service, attendants at railway-crossings and ferry sites at the same time fulfilling their professional duties.

2. The objective aspect of violation is revealed in passing at restrictive signal of traffic light or at restrictive motion of regulator.

Restrictive signal of traffic light is understood as yellow signal which prohibits movement except the cases when drivers are allowed further movement if they cannot stop and don't use emergency braking in the places defined by paragraph 6.13 of the Rules. Thus according to paragraph 6.13 at restrictive signal of traffic light (except reverse) or restrictive motion of regulator drivers must stop in front of stop line (sign 5.33), and in case of its absence drivers must stop at cross­road in front of crossing traffic way (taking into account paragraph 13.7 of the Rules) without causing troubles to pedestrians.

Restrictive motion of regulator is expressed in raising arm upward. Regulator can give other signals understandable for drivers and pedestrians by motions of arms. For better visibility of signals regulator can use baton or red signal disk (with cat's-eye). Requirement to stop transport means is given with the help of loud-speaker or by arm motion, directed to transport means; the driver muststop at a noted place.

According to the law violation has formal elements of a crime and is considered to be finished at the moment of passing at restrictive signal of traffic light or at restrictive motion of regulator.

Responsibility for passing at restrictive signal of traffic light or at restrictive motion of regulator in front of railway-crossing is established by part 1 of article 12.10 of the present Code (see commentary).
