Drivers are being mass fined for a common violation: what is wrong with parking cars.


Drivers receive fines for parking on bike paths
The patrol service reported that in Ukraine, drivers are being mass fined for parking their cars on bicycle paths.
The fine amounts to 340 hryvnias as parking on a bike path complicates the movement of cyclists, violating traffic regulations. According to the Traffic Rules, a bike path is intended only for bicycle traffic and may be separated from the road or located next to the sidewalk. It is important to distinguish between a bike path and a bike lane; the latter is marked with traffic signs and markings.
If there are no traffic signs or markings, the lane is not considered a bike path. Violating parking rules can lead not only to fines but also pose a threat to the safety of road participants. It is every driver’s responsibility to adhere to the rules and respect the space allocated for cyclists.
