10. The MFZ’s ground and its exits shall have a longitude inclination in an

opposite direction to the highway. Discharge of surface and treated run-offs from the

territory of the MFZ into drainage structures of the highway is not allowed.

11. A pavement type and design on the speed change lanes and slip roads within

the curve radius shall be the same as the pavement type and design of the highway, the

MFZ is located on.

12. The design concept of the MFZ shall provide an easy visual orientation for

vehicles’ drivers, good visibility of road signs and timely information on access to filling

columns, type and prices of petroleum products (light panel). The MFZ shall be provided

with safety sings in accordance with the GOST 12.-4.026-76 (All Union State Standard)

“Signal colors and safety signs”.

13. A traffic plan and layouts for road signs, reflective studs, road surface marking

14. Parking zones for trucks and motor cars shall be differentiated and provide every

type of vehicle with a separate entrance into a temporary parking area.

15. The parking lots for every type of vehicles usually have diagonal (with an angle of

45 degrees) parking pattern. Limits of every parking space shall be distinct and apparent.

8

In very tight areas an arrangement of lengthwise parking spaces (for example, the spaces

for short-term parking by approaching a filling station; in addition, several parking spaces

can be arranged for buses and motor cars with trailers (motorhomes)) is allowed for the

purpose of saving of the parking areas. It is recommended to locate the lengthwise parking

spaces for buses to the right of the traffic lane. Perpendicular parking of vehicles is

permitted in exceptional cases only.

16. Dimensions of the parking space are given in the Table 2. If one parking space

can be used for parking (also temporary) of different types of vehicles, the dimensions of

the parking space shall meet the requirements for the biggest type of the vehicle.

Table 2: Dimensions of the Parking Spaces

Designation of the Parking Space Parameters of the Parking Space

17. If one side of the traffic lane has the parking area with diagonal parking spaces for

truck and buses, its opposite side shall have no hard obstacles closer than 1 meter to the

lane’s edge (due to a specific motion path of rear end of buses and trailer trucks). The same

requirement is also valid for lengthwise parking spaces for trucks, buses and motor cars.

The diagonal parking places for buses with the length of 14 meters (see Table 2) should not

be placed opposite the parking spaces for motor cars (neither lengthwise nor diagonal

spaces). An exception to this requirement applies where the latter are equipped with a

buffer lane with a width of at least 1 meter and the marking of parking spaces doesn’t

allow using this lane as a parking space for a vehicle (see Figure 2).

Diagonal parking spaces for buses

18. Figure 2. Buffer Lane (separating the diagonal parking spaces for motor cars from the

diagonal parking spaces for buses in this case) As far as possible the parking spaces

for trucks shall be designed so that the highway wouldn’t be visible from a

driver’s cab.

9

19. The traffic lanes with parking spaces shall be as straight as possible for the

purpose of good visibility. If the curve of the traffic lane with diagonal parking spaces for

motor cars obstructs the visibility, parking spaces shall be separated from the traffic line

with a buffer lane with the width of at least 1 meter which compensates risks related to

insufficient visibility (see Figure 2).

20. The traffic lanes with diagonal parking spaces for trucks, located to the left of the

traffic lane, cannot be used as through passageways, especially by motor cars.

21. It is recommended to divide the diagonal parking spaces for motor cars into

groups of 5 to 10 spaces by means of a border stone. It is recommended to group 6 to 8

parking spaces for trucks in the same way.

22. A filling station can be set up either directly within the MFZ (in island-like

position providing a possibility to bypass the filling station) or at a distance from the main

MFZ’s facilities (without the possibility to bypass the filling station).

23. A minimal distance between the filling station and bus stops, residential buildings,

etc. has to be specified in accordance with the NPB 111-98 (Fire Safety Regulations)

“Filling stations. Fire safety requirements”.

24. In accordance with the paragraph 2.9.14 of the Regulations for Transport of

Dangerous Goods by Road, approved by the Decree of the Ministry of Transportation of

the Russian Federation on the 08.08.1995 No. 73, facilities of a filling station within the

MFZ shall include a specially equipped ground for filling of vehicles carrying fuel or

explosive loads at a minimal distance of 25 meters from the main area of the filling station

(these vehicles are to be fuelled on these special ground from metal canisters, filled with

fuel in the filling station).

25. The filling stations for motor cars and trucks shall be located so that the vehicle

can have free access to a proper parking space behind the station, without passing any

crossings.

26. The filling stations located in the same building with a food service facility (tight

arrangement), shall be placed at a distance from the MFZ’s main facilities.

27. The filling stations shall be separated from the traffic lane for transit transport or

bypass lane with a longitudinal barrier of a required width. A possibility to place filling

station’s equipment, sings, etc. as well as eventual further extension of the MFZ shall be

taken in account by specifying the width of the barrier lane.

28. A parking space for motor cars shall be provided near the filling station, where a

vehicle can be parked without crossing the territory of the filling station (a short-term

parking space from which a drive can easily reach the filling station). Some parking spaces

for fuelled vehicles shall be provided directly within the territory of the filling station,

where a driver can have his/her car serviced, can make a phone call or visit the shop.

29. It is recommended to place the food service facilities in that part of MFZ, which is

separated from the highway; it is best to place hotels (motels) in the quietest part of the

MFZ. It is recommended to arrange entrances to food service facilities and motor car

parking spaces so that they could be easily and quickly accessed.

30. The following order of priorities is to be adhered to by designation of the MFZ’s

areas: “fuelling-parking-food service”. Within the territory of the MFZ there is usually a

one-way traffic.

10

31. If multiple lanes need to have motor car parking spaces, a system with one-way

lanes for main and opposite traffic direction shall be used. In this case the temporary

parking spaces, located near the food service facility, shall be placed in the main direction

traffic lane, so the parking places located in the opposite direction traffic lane will be used

only if there is an intense inflow of vehicles. The following advantages are provided

herewith:

- Many parking spaces for motor cars are concentrated directly near the food service

facility;

- Even if the inflow of vehicles is intense there is a possibility to look for a parking

space;

- Development of inconveniently located areas;

- Traffic of special vehicles which support ancillary facilities within the territory of

the roadside service complex.

32. The MFZ design, especially the shape of corners and barriers, shall facilitate the

traffic in the specified direction and prevent certain types of vehicles from using the lanes

not intended for this purpose.

33. The parking spaces for motor cars shall be located as close to the food service

facilities as possible.

34. It is recommended to place separate parking spaces for motor cars with trailers

(motorhomes) not close to the entrance to a food service facility, but in the green zone of

the MFZ.

35. The parking spaces for buses shall be located closer to the food service facilities.

This rule applies also if combined parking spaces are used for motor cars with trailers,

trucks and buses. It is recommended that passengers of buses should not have to cross

traffic lanes for motor cars and trucks on their way to a food service facility. If the parking

spaces for buses and motor cars are located in the same traffic lane it is recommended to

place the parking spaces for buses so that the drivers of motor cars had less incentive to

place the car in the parking place for buses, for example, the parking spaces for buses can

be placed behind the parking spaces for motor cars. If it is not possible, the traffic shall be

arranged so that the parking spaces for motor cars look more attractive (placed directly in

the field of vision of drivers, in a visually preferable traffic direction).

36. For transit traffic through the territory of the MFZ the lengthwise parking spaces

with a total length of 100 meters and width of 4.5 meters shall be provided for trucks on

the side of a highway. If it is not possible these parking spaces shall be set up in another

place.

37. Suggested layouts of MFZ developed in accordance with the design principles set

above are shown in the following figures:
