Identification sign "Transportation of children" should be installed only on buses with organized transportation of children.
After those who entered after which a new one appeared for drivers, we received a huge number of requests on the issue of installing the identification mark "Transportation of children" on cars.
The question proceeds from the requirements of paragraph 8 of the basic provisions on the admission of vehicles to operation, following which the identification mark "Transportation of children" must be installed on the vehicle.
8. The following identification marks must be installed on vehicles:
"Transportation of children" - in the form of a square yellow color with a red border (border width - 1/10 of the side), with a black image of the symbol of the road sign 1.23 (the side of the square of the identification sign located in front of the vehicle must be at least 250 mm, rear - 400 mm);
Unlike the requirements for the installation of other identification marks, the conditions for installation are not specified for the "Children's Transportation" sign, from which we can conclude that it must be installed on all vehicles, including those that do not transport children. There are no conditions that you need to install only a vehicle carrying children. Sounds ridiculous.
The whole charm of legal acts is that if something is not indicated in one, then it is indicated in another. It is necessary to find requirements obliging the installation of this sign. The requirements for drivers in the first place are, of course, the Rules traffic.
Logic suggests that the sign is directly related to , and we will look for it there.
General requirements are indicated in clause 22.9 of the SDA.
22.9. Transportation of children is allowed provided that their safety is ensured, taking into account the design features of the vehicle.
Transportation of children under 12 years of age in vehicles equipped with seat belts must be carried out using child restraints appropriate for the weight and height of the child, or other means that allow the child to be fastened using the seat belts provided for by the design of the vehicle, and in the front seat passenger car - only with the use of child restraints.
It is forbidden to transport children under 12 years of age in the back seat of a motorcycle.
There is not a word about the sign, you can already calm down, requirements for drivers to install a sign with dimensions of 40x40 cm. - no. Naturally, the question remains, where and when to install it? We continue the search in the Rules of the road. We can easily find the requirements for organized transportation of children in clause 22.6.
22.6. Organized transportation of a group of children must be carried out in accordance with these Rules, as well as the rules approved by the Government Russian Federation, in a bus marked with identification marks "Transportation of children".
In this paragraph, we already see a link to another document and a direct mention of the sign "Transportation of children". The installation of this identification mark is directly related to the organized transportation of children, which is regulated by separate additional rules.
If the goal is already set to find a direct requirement for the installation of a sign, with your permission, we will skip a few links of binding documents and turn directly to the requirements of GOST R 51160-98 Buses for transporting children. Technical requirements"
4.5.19 Front and rear of the bus must be installed identification signs "Transportation of children" in accordance with the Rules of the road of the Russian Federation.
Thus, the “exit” to the sign “transportation of children” goes from GOST through the SDA and already to paragraph 8 of the main provisions on the admission of vehicles for operation. In the normal transportation of children in private cars, taxi cars, public transport, it is not required to install an identification sign "Transportation of children".
With the beginning of summer, more and more children are on the streets. Many children have already left the cities for children's camps, to relatives and to the sea. Children walk and play almost everywhere. Very often carefree, so adults need to take a responsible approach to the issue of safety. Let's pay attention today to - "Caution, children!".
"Caution children" sign
"Children" is a special sign
1.23 - like all warning signs, the "Children" sign complies with the UN Vienna Convention "On Road Signs and Signals", which defines appearance road signs. Since the introduction of new traffic rules since January 1, 2006, 24 new signs have appeared in Russia and 18 have changed, in comparison with previous editions.
The regulatory documents, namely GOST-R 52289-2004, say that the sign 1.23 "Children" must be placed on sections of roads passing along schools, kindergartens, etc., as well as near places often crossed by children, regardless of the presence of pedestrian crossings. A repeated sign is installed with a sign 8.2.1, which serves to clarify the length of this section, and outside cities and villages 1.23 should be placed at least 50m from the "children's" section.
The "Transportation of Children" sign itself is a yellow square with a red stripe along the contour, which depicts running children (sign 1.23). Sign dimensions: 250mm - for placement on the windshield, 400mm - for placement on the stern.
If you have placed a sign on your glass “Caution, children!” - do not forget about speed, according to the Rules, the speed of movement is limited to 60 km / h (section 10 of the SDA)
Rules for transporting children
When boarding children on a bus with the “Children Transportation” badge, the driver of this vehicle is simply obliged to follow the rules, namely, to turn on the “emergency gang”. Otherwise, a fine - as mentioned in part 1, clause 12.23 (“Violation of the rules for transporting people ...”).
The duty of Other drivers is to slow down and let children go out or are about to enter (Section 14.7 of the SDA).
In Russia, there are "Methodological recommendations for the safety of transporting groups of children by road." The Recommendations - in one document summarizes the safety requirements for the transportation of children, this document will be useful for all legal entities and individuals involved in the transportation of children's groups.
Sign "beware of children" in the United States
There were such options
Yes, there is the UN Vienna Convention, and many countries. But, how interesting it is to observe the variants of the sign "Caution, children!" V different countries.
In the USSR, there was a GOST 10807-78 standard (approved by a decree of the USSR State Standard of August 30, 1978) - in it “Children” has a different number - 1.21.:g., GOST R 52290-2004 is now in force, now the sign has the designation 1.23.
In the USSR and Russia, in addition to the canonical version, where two men, remotely similar to children, are running somewhere, a more artistic one was also noticed - one in which a running boy (in a trouser suit) and a girl (in a dress and with bows) are clearly visible , with briefcases behind their backs, most likely from school.
In Poland, a variant of the sign was noticed, on which a bigger boy (he is in a trouser suit) walks next to a little girl (skirt, bows)
In Israel, there is a sign that shows how a girl runs away, and a woman does not keep up with her.
In Greece, the "Children" sign is the same as in Russia, but has a red outline and a dark orange background, which clearly shows as a girl (a girl, not a mother - because with bows, on a sign from Greece - she is in a dress, and she is slightly larger than the other child) leads the child by the hand (he is smaller).
In Germany: until 1992, the "Children" sign was used, which depicts how a mother (namely a woman - in a strict dress, without bows) leads her son (short haircut and trousers) by the hand. At the moment - the picture has changed - now the standard for German signs is a picture that shows two running guys (without gender divisions).
In the UK, there are widespread signs on which children run in reverse, from left to right - remember the Russian version, where they run from right to left!
In Burma, the “Children” sign is an orange rhombus, on which a grandmother (a woman with a specific hairstyle and clothes that older citizens prefer) is pulling the child’s hand, she is pulling, because he is resisting, and the grandmother is already a little ahead.
In Bangalore (India), there is also a “Children” sign: the authorities installed 2 signs in front of schools, the authorities were most likely guided by the rules for crossing railways (in the traffic rules of the Russian Federation these are signs 1.4.1.-1.4.6 “Approaching a railway crossing ").
On the first one, a running child is depicted, but it looks very much like a thief who has just stolen a bag - in the hands of what he has and he runs away headlong. On the second sign there are a pair of figures, one of which resembles a guy, and this figure grabs the hand of the second figure, which looks like a girl.
In Norway, a sign was seen on which a girl helps a blind man cross the road - the man leans on the girl's shoulder.
Switzerland - a sign was seen that was more suitable for a sports relay race - it is a man who runs after a fleeing woman.
Czech Republic - a girl on a walk with her grandfather.
Bulgaria - a football player boy leads a robot girl to recharge. And also another option - the children of the workers (they are in caps) run away (most likely they messed up and are now running away from their parents)
Belgium - a man rescues a girl loaded with shopping bags from under the wheels of the car.
Denmark is such a high running speed of children that they are depicted fragmentarily on the Danish sign.
France - a lot of artistic signs "Children" or already pictures with warnings to drivers.
The bus is like a sign
The most striking and replicated image of the "Children" warning sign is, of course, the School Bus from the USA. For Russia, the use of specially designed school buses is still a curiosity, because we didn’t have buses until the 2000s, we just used regular ones - with the installation of identification marks “Transportation of children”. Since 2001, the production of specially designed buses began in the Russian Federation - one of the bus factories produced just such a one - it has seat belts for all children, emergency doors. Which corresponds to GOST-R 51160-98, which entered into force in 1999, which is called “Buses for transporting children. Technical requirements".
Let's go back to the yellow US buses. As you know, special buses painted yellow are used to transport schoolchildren in America. Such buses have been used in America since the 30s, and a specific yellow color was specially developed by a well-known chemical company. Such a bright bus, under any conditions is clearly visible. School buses in the United States are very richly equipped for safety purposes - a lot of lights, including retractable ones, or, as on some models, there is even a small barrier in the front - all for safety.
School buses in the US have been used for a long time, you should talk about the advantages they have when driving. The law is strict on drivers endangering children, in the US drivers must stand as long as red lights are flashing on a school bus - $1,000 fine otherwise - all cars around must stop, this even applies to cars from the opposite side of the road ( only if there is no solid centerline).
"Baby in the car"
Baby on Board is an unofficial badge favored by drivers, usually mounted on the back of the glass or on the trunk. This symbol became known in 1984 and can still be seen on cars today. The sign itself, which shares a common design with UK warning signs, is a yellow diamond with a thin black border and bold black lettering.
Conclusion
The "Children" sign warns us drivers that there are children here! Be careful on the road, dear colleague.

- In contact with
Indeed, since April, the rules of the road have changed and this is not an April Fool's joke. Moreover, they changed so much that, in principle, nothing has changed, but the fine has been added. There was enough information about the changes in the news, but I will try to explain in detail what has changed and what it threatens. A good gift from the traffic police, because now you can collect 500 rubles from almost everyone! (I haven’t seen 20 cm on the roads!!! of the “studded” sign, and almost all cars have studded tires)
The fully official text of the changes to the traffic rules can be found right here, but I will quote what is most interesting. First of all, I draw attention to what really changed in the traffic rules:
- You can not tow another car with less than 2 years of experience
- Mopeds and motorcycles cannot carry a passenger if the driver's experience is less than 2 years
Well, now about the signs on the car glass:
b) appendix to the said Basic Provisions shall be supplemented with paragraph 7.15.1 of the following content:
“7.15.1. There are no identification marks that must be installed in accordance with paragraph 8 of the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, approved by the Decree of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation of October 23, 1993 No. 1090 "On the rules road traffic".
What did it change? The SDA has essentially two sections on the technical condition of cars:
- The list of malfunctions in which the operation of the vehicle is prohibited
- Basic provisions for the admission of the vehicle
The difference between these two sections is simple. If the car does not comply with the basic provisions for admission - this is certainly bad, but not punishable. If something from the list of malfunctions suddenly breaks down, then there may already be a fine. Moreover, for some breakdowns, deprivation of “rights” and a fine. (I will not bore you with these subtleties in this text, whoever wants to study it himself, then we look at articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses 12.5. and 27.13.).
If something “other” broke down (not the color of the lights, the brake system, the steering), then a fine under article 12.5. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Article 12.5. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which the operation of vehicles is prohibited, or a vehicle on which the identification mark "Disabled" is illegally installed
1. Driving a vehicle in the presence of malfunctions or conditions under which, in accordance with the Basic Provisions for the admission of vehicles to operation and the duties of officials to ensure road safety, the operation of the vehicle is prohibited, with the exception of malfunctions and conditions specified in parts 2 - 7 of this article,
shall entail a warning or the imposition of an administrative fine in the amount of five hundred roubles.
So now about the changes: in those same "basic provisions" they added the obligation to comply with "identification marks" and automatically there was a fine of 500 rubles for this!
It's time to quote what these signs are:
8. Vehicles must be marked with:
"Road train" - in the form of three orange lights, located horizontally on the cab roof with gaps between them from 150 to 300 mm - on trucks and wheeled tractors (class 1.4 tons and above) with trailers, as well as on articulated buses and trolleybuses;
"Spikes" - in the form of an equilateral white triangle with the top up with a red border, into which the letter "Ш" is inscribed in black (the side of the triangle is not less than 200 mm, the width of the border is 1/10 of the side) - behind motor vehicles with studded tires;
"Transportation of children" - in the form of a yellow square with a red border (border width - 1/10 of the side), with a black image of the symbol of the road sign 1.23

"Training vehicle" - in the form of an equilateral triangle of white color with the top up with a red border, in which the letter "U" is inscribed in black (side not less than 200 mm, border width - 1/10 of the side), - in front and behind mechanical vehicles means used for driving training (it is allowed to install a two-sided sign on the roof of a car);
"Speed limit" - in the form of a reduced color image of road sign 3.24 indicating the permitted speed (sign diameter - at least 160 mm, border width - 1/10 of the diameter) - on the rear side of the body on the left of motor vehicles engaged in organized transportation of groups of children transporting bulky, heavy and dangerous goods, as well as in cases where maximum speed a vehicle with a technical specification below that specified in paragraphs 10.3 and 10.4 of the Rules of the Road of the Russian Federation;
"Dangerous Goods":
- when carrying out international transportation of dangerous goods - in the form of a rectangle measuring 400 x 300 mm, having an orange retroreflective coating with a black border no more than 15 mm wide - in front and behind vehicles, on the sides of tanks, and also in established cases - on sides of vehicles and containers;
- when carrying out other transportation of dangerous goods - in the form of a rectangle measuring 690 x 300 mm, the right side of which is 400 x 300 mm in size, painted orange, and the left side is white with a black border 15 mm wide - in front and behind the vehicles.
On the identification mark are applied designations characterizing the dangerous properties of the transported cargo;
"Oversized cargo" - in the form of a shield measuring 400 x 400 mm with red and white alternating stripes 50 mm wide applied diagonally with a retroreflective surface;
"Low-speed vehicle" - in the form of an equilateral triangle with a red fluorescent coating and with a yellow or red retroreflective border (triangle side length from 350 to 365 mm, border width from 45 to 48 mm) - behind motor vehicles for which the enterprise - the maximum speed is set by the manufacturer to be no more than 30 km/h;
"Long-length vehicle" - in the form of a yellow rectangle with a size of at least 1200 x 200 mm with a red border (width 40 mm), having a retroreflective surface - behind vehicles whose length with or without load is more than 20 m, and road trains with two or more trailers. If it is impossible to place a sign of the specified size, it is allowed to install two identical signs with a size of at least 600 x 200 mm symmetrically to the axis of the vehicle.
"Beginner driver" - in the form of a yellow square (side 150 mm) with an image exclamation mark black color 110 mm high - behind motor vehicles (with the exception of tractors, self-propelled machines, motorcycles and mopeds) driven by drivers who have the right to drive these vehicles for less than 2 years.
At the request of the driver, identification marks can be installed:

The identification mark "Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation", which is a conditional identification mark, in the form of two lights with blue lights operating in a flashing mode, located no higher than the passing beam headlights in the front of the vehicle used to ensure the safety of state protection facilities.
Question answer:
Question: Do I need to hang a “child transportation” sign on a car if I am transporting my own children?
Answer: The “basic provisions” themselves do not indicate in which cases the sign should be placed, but there is such an indication in the text of the traffic rules themselves. We are talking only about organized groups:
22.6.
Organized transportation of a group of children must be carried out in accordance with these Rules, as well as the rules approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, in a bus, marked with identification marks"Transportation of children".
At the same time, the “basic provisions” themselves do not indicate at all who and when should put up this sign, so it is absolutely obvious that it is needed for organized groups of children, but there is no indication of whether this sign can or should be installed in other cases. If you formally read the “basic provisions” at all, then paragraph 8 begins with the words: “The vehicles must be installed” and then comes the list of signs with reservations. There is no such clause near the sign "Transportation of children" (as well as the sign "oversized cargo"). So if you read the traffic rules verbatim, then every car should have this sign. In general, on each, not even carrying children. So we can only hope for the prudence of the traffic police inspectors, as well as wait for judicial practice. With a high degree of probability there will be no claims for this sign to ordinary cars (not organized groups).
Question: Can I be fined for placing a “Child Transportation” sign on my car?
Answer: Please note that the sign must be located at the FRONT of the vehicle and not on the rear window. So you can place anything on the back, but these are just advertising stickers, and not what is required by traffic rules. But if you place such a sign on the windshield, then the inspectors can already remind you that in the same basic provisions it is forbidden to place “Additional items or coatings have been applied that limit visibility from the driver's seat. » The reminder will cost 500 rubles! (CAO 12.5. part 1)
Question: And if I don’t remove the “thorns” sign in the summer, will there be a fine?
Answer: There is no direct prohibition, so I cannot predict how the inspectors will behave in this case and how the judicial practice will go. In the Code of Administrative Offenses there is only one penalty for an extra sign from this series (Article 12.5, Part 4.1.) - this is the illegal installation of the “Disabled Person” sign. Logically, it turns out that all the rest can be “illegally installed” without any punishment. But on the other hand, the traffic police and the courts may consider that since the “spikes” sign is not installed as indicated in these “basic provisions”, then this is formally a violation. We will wait for judicial practice, and I have no doubt that the traffic police will try to create such a practice.
Question: I bought myself a Spikes sign at a gas station and put it on my car. Now there will be no penalty?
Answer: I have not seen something in the sale of signs that meet the requirements for size. Pay attention to the fact that in the "basic provisions" the dimensions are indicated - 200 mm (20 cm, if someone does not translate it themselves). Take a ruler on the table and measure 20 cm. And now remember the size of the signs that they sell at gas stations!
Question: My rear window is tinted and I can't see it when I put the badge on. Is this a violation?
Answer: Formally, you have fulfilled all the requirements. Back sign. There are no requirements for visibility in the traffic rules. True, there is a risk that the inspector will also do it “formally” - take a picture of your car from the back as evidence from the outside and then it will be difficult to prove that “the sign was, but was not visible.” Let me remind you that you can stick not only on the glass, but anywhere "behind"!
Question: Do trucks also need to have spikes on them?
Answer: Certainly! On all motor vehicles. At the same time, the truck has a "rear" - it will apparently not be glass, but a body.
Question: If I ride a bicycle with studded tires in winter, do I also need to put up a “studded” sign?
Answer: Pedal yourself, then you don’t have to, because. he is not a “mechanical vehicle”, but on the same scooter - completely! As in the cases, the bike has an engine installed. I quote paragraph 1.2. from traffic rules:
"motorized vehicle" means a vehicle driven by engine. The term also applies to any tractors and self-propelled machines.
Question: If I transfer a gas cylinder to a country house, should I now stick a “Dangerous Goods” sign?
Answer: There are clearly defined numbers for when a cargo becomes dangerous. Depending on what gas is in the cylinder, the norms are different. But the minimum is 15 cylinders! (propane) The rest of the norms are even higher. So take yourself calmly your 2-3 cylinders to the country.
Question: If I have less than 2 years of experience, can I be fined for not having a “Beginner Driver” sign?
Answer: Now they can! Under the same article there will be a fine of 500 rubles!
Question: I am a dentist. Do I need to put the sign "Doctor"?
Answer: It is not specified which doctors can put this sign, so any doctor can.
Question: If I am not disabled, will there be a fine for putting up a sign.
Answer: There will be a fine of 5000 rubles. (and if a legal entity has established, then 500,000 rubles!!!)
The sign caution children - indicates a warning to drivers, further along the route there are children's organizations - a school, a kindergarten, a camp and a recreation center, a sanatorium. Near them, a road sign "Beware of children" is always installed. Drivers should be extremely careful when seeing such a sign.
Protection from collisions on the highway depends not only on the people driving the car, but also on the pedestrians themselves.
This sign does not indicate any restrictions for the driver. This is a warning to increase vigilance and reduce speed to such an extent that will allow the driver to stop in time if a child suddenly appears on the carriageway.
The Traffic Rules define the sign "Caution children" as 1.23. It was approved under the USSR in 1968 by the ongoing symposium in Vienna, where it was established by the agreement "On Road Signs and Symbols". It was carried out to designate uniform images on these signs for all states.
In accordance with GOST, this sign has the shape of a triangle, circled in red, not blue or some other color, running children on a white background. The main drawing is always paired with poster 8.2.1, which determines the vector of the road along which the children can go.
The same triangular sign "Beware of children" picture on a yellow background means that it is temporarily present on this segment of the path.
In Russia, since 2006, a lot of amendments have been made to the rules, the result was a change in 18 pointers. It goes without saying that they, their location must comply with the requirements that are provided for by special documents for this, valid in any country.
For example, in the Russian Federation it corresponds to GOST - R52289-2004, the image "Children" is a sign that must be installed along the carriageway passing from:
- preschool and school institution;
- sanatoriums;
- recreation centers;
- camp;
- children's entertainment center;
