Common questions on rental process
A huge number of free parking spaces is another important feature of Russian roads. They can be found literally everywhere - close to shopping and entertainment centers, tourist attractions, and business centers. Parking lots are also equipped along some streets.
In spite of the fact that it is not difficult to find a free parking space, many local people do not bother to make a long search and leave their cars right on the road surface. Sometimes, the number of cars parked on the road is so big that almost the whole right lane is blocked. Of course, that often becomes the reason for traffic jams.
It is forbidden to park the car closer than 5 meters to intersections and pedestrian crossings, and closer than 15 meters to public transport stops. The latter are often marked with a zigzag line of yellow color. It will be really hard not to notice the public transport stop.
