Traveler drivers who stop in the woods at a halt often meet a camping sign on the road, on which a triangle is drawn in the form of folded sticks. It is also present in traffic rules tickets, so you must know it.
People who are accustomed to this way of life, namely, without a cozy bath, with a fire and a tent, know this sign well. And in this article it will be described in detail what camping is in traffic rules and its significance on the road.
If we resort to the literal translation of this word, then it means a place for a halt, temporary residence without comfortable conditions or overnight stay in tents. Therefore, they came up with a road sign called camping, which will help you navigate the area and find perfect place for rest or relaxation.
This informant is not considered prescriptive, so it cannot forbid anything. It is installed solely to inform road users that nearby you can stay overnight in a tent or spend the night in a car.
In order for drivers to know in advance that there is a camping zone somewhere, the sign, according to the traffic rules, is installed in advance.
To more accurately inform drivers about the location of a place where you can make a fire and spend the night in a tent.
Just below the sign itself indicate a certain distance:
- When the informant is installed in a populated area, then such a distance is small - a maximum of 150 meters.
- On the track, the distance to the campsite is longer for obvious reasons, and is 400-800 meters.
- It also happens that, if absolutely necessary, this distance increases up to 80 kilometers.
If the recreation area, or in other words a halt, is located far from the roadway, in this case, the camping sign is installed at the first intersection in order to be aware of the location. Next to the information about the distance after which there will be a halt, draw an arrow in the required direction so as not to get lost inadvertently.
To immediately recognize such a sign, it is not necessary to ride around the world to find it. After all, on the Internet there is a huge amount of a camping sign in the photo. Yes, and it is not difficult to remember it - a triangular figure resembling a camping tent.
There is a difference between motel or hotel signs and camping signs. The fact is that the first two provide all the necessary living conditions for guests.
There is:
- water;
- comfortable beds;
- toilets;
- opportunity to have a good meal.
The camping area is intended for "wild" recreation, that is, without beds, comfortable bathrooms. Food is cooked on a fire, water is obtained from a source, there is no talk of a bathroom at all.
If you want to get out of your comfort zone, you should definitely head to this place and feel like a real forest dweller who does not have a microwave or coffee machine at hand - everything is obtained naturally.
The camping sign is made on the basis of retroreflective elements that have either internal or external lighting. In addition, everything that is written in black or gray should in no case serve as a retroreflector. Substances that are used as retroreflective objects in the manufacture of the sign must be easily readable on the road both day and night.
Thus, based on the foregoing, it should be said that the topic of what a camping sign is and what it means is fully disclosed. Although this informant is not very popular among other informing signs, the very fact of being in nature, away from a noisy city, is worth a lot.
The base of the road sign is made of galvanized steel 0.8-1mm thick, to increase the rigidity, the workpiece is rolled to obtain a double flanging. A traffic sign mask is applied to the surface of the base, made of high-quality reflective films in accordance with GOST R 52290-2004 and GOST 32945-2014. Additional stiffening ribs and reinforced fasteners make it possible to exclude the possibility of sign bending both from wind load and under the influence of any forces. To fix the road sign, the base is equipped with a special tongue-type mount.
Indicates the location where the Campsite is located. Road sign 7.10 is installed near the object. Preliminary service signs outside settlements are installed 400-800 m, and if necessary, 15-20 km and 60-80 km to the object, at the turning points to them (crossroads), if they are located away from the road. The preliminary signs of the service indicate the distance to the object. When specifying distances on preliminary service signs informing about objects located away from the road and installed 15-20 km, 60-80 km away, it is necessary to take into account the distance from the turning point (crossroad) to the object. Advance Service Marks in settlements it is allowed to install 100-150 m before the object and at the turning points (crossroads) closest to it.

Good afternoon, dear reader.
In the next article from the "Road Signs" series, we will begin to consider service signs.
Service marks, with few exceptions, are practically not mentioned in the text of the rules of the road, and therefore it is impossible to violate their requirements even with a strong desire.
Usually, when studying, drivers simply scroll through the page containing the service signs, not particularly focusing on the meaning of each of the signs. Because of this, as a rule, a gap in knowledge is formed, which will be addressed within the framework of this article.
Attentive readers know that in the section "Service Marks" there are no detailed descriptions each of the signs, so the meanings of the signs will be determined based on unofficial sources.
Medical aid point sign
Road sign "Point medical care":
So, a medical care center is a medical institution that, unlike a hospital, does not detain patients for treatment, but, if necessary, only sends them to the hospital.
Hospital sign
Road sign "Hospital":
The hospital, unlike the point of medical care, has a hospital in which patients can be left for treatment.
From the point of view of the driver of the car, signs 7.1 and 7.2 do not differ very much, because in any of the medical institutions, if necessary (for example, with) first aid will be provided.
Gas station sign
Gas station sign:
Sometimes as additional information sign 7.3 uses the word "gas", which indicates that this filling station is used to refuel vehicles using natural gas as fuel.
On July 25, 2017, road sign 7.25 was introduced, indicating petrol station with the possibility of charging electric vehicles:
Car maintenance sign
Road sign "Car maintenance":
A sign may be required, for example, in the event of a car tire puncture. Naturally, immediately after a puncture, you will install a spare wheel, however, repair of the "main" wheel should not be postponed.
Car wash sign
Road sign "Car wash":
The only situation in which the use of a car wash may be necessary is a significant contamination of the car numbers. currently it is 500 rubles, which exceeds the cost of the average car wash by several times.
Phone sign
Road sign "Telephone":
Behind last decade the sign "Telephone" has become much less relevant, because. cell phones have become widespread. However, in remote areas where there are problems with cellular communication, a telephone sign can come in very handy.
Food point sign
Road sign "Food point":
As for the "Food Point" sign, it is unlikely that it will ever lose its relevance. The driver of the car must always be full, otherwise the likelihood of a traffic accident increases significantly.
Drinking water sign
Road sign "Drinking water":
Well, this sign is becoming more and more relevant with time. This is due to the fact that the water in natural sources is only getting dirtier, and you are unlikely to drink from the first lake or pond that comes across.
By the way, I have never come across a "Drinking Water" sign on the road. Have you ever met him?
Hotel or motel sign
Road sign "Hotel or motel":
The main difference between a motel and a hotel is that the motel rooms have an entrance from the street, i.e. from the car park. On the one hand, when traveling by car, this allows you to have your own car in sight, and on the other hand, staying in a motel is less comfortable. Accordingly, the room rate in standard hotel on average higher than the cost of a motel room.
This sign can be useful for road travelers and tourists.
The fashionable word "camping" came to us from in English, where it means camping in nature. In simple words, this is a hike. If you go on vacation to a picturesque place somewhere on the shore of a lake or in a forest clearing and are going to spend open sky for at least one night (meaning in a tent or a hut), then you can safely say that you are camping.
But there is still some difference between the meaning of the words "camping" and "hike". A hike is, rather, a walking outing into nature, in which the participants themselves find and organize a place for their rest. And what is camping (see photo above)? It means not only the event itself, but also the place where the camp is set up. Camping sites are specially equipped, parking lots are provided near them.
Kinds
For some campers, the meaning of camping lies in living in a tent, catering and entertainment away from civilization. But there are others for whom a campground is just a forced stop, a place to sleep and rejuvenate. In this case, we are talking about different types of camping. Here are some of them:
- active camping - a type of recreation in which the trip itself becomes the goal, for example, a bike ride, kayaking, caravanning, and camping is used as a place to sleep and cook;
- hiking - enthusiasts with backpacks on their shoulders go on a journey, expanding the boundaries of their knowledge of the world (in the backpacks of the most thrifty you can even find titanium cooking utensils, and those who like to travel light limit their luggage only to food, water and equipment);
- social camping - a tent city where people come by prior arrangement (these can be relatives, members of the same club who organize such meetings regularly and carefully think over their vacation program; well-known tourslets to all of us can also be an example of what social camping is);
- survivalism, or camping for survival - view active rest, which allows you to master the skills necessary for survival in wild nature such as how to get food, navigate the terrain.
How are things abroad?
What is camping, Europeans learned back in late XIX century, when an enterprising resident british isles opened the first commercial recreational campsite. Since then, organized relaxation in nature has been gaining more and more popularity. Today, camping is a favorite activity. family vacation among Europeans and North America, as evidenced by the established more than a hundred years ago and now the International Association of Camping and Caravanning.
Camping in Europe is very civilized, although it provides for relaxation away from the usual amenities.
- These are not just places for tents, marked with a sign. These are whole complexes, where everything is thought out for trifles. Europeans know exactly what camping is.
- All camping sites can be found on special sites, and if desired, they are even offered to be booked.
- There are showers, sinks for washing dishes, and most importantly, electricity is supplied to each tent.
- European campsites offer activities for children.
What do we have?
In recent years, camping has been gaining popularity in Russia as well. They are dealt with as locals and foreign guests. Favorite places for outdoor recreation are Altai region, Ural, the Gulf of Finland, and the Black Sea coast to this day is the first site in Russia for those who know what camping is (see photo below).
Various types of camping are widespread in our country, and the newfangled trend in this area has not bypassed us - glamping, which received its name from a combination of the words "glamour" and "camping". Those who wish, by paying a tidy sum of money, get the opportunity to live in nature, but not in a tent, but in a special tent, furnished with antique furniture, eat expensive delicacies and enjoy the view of nature from the window. A day of such a holiday in Moscow will cost about $ 600, for comparison: in Thailand - about $ 1,000, in Australia - more than 2,000. Here, as they say, to each his own.
What is camping according to traffic rules
When organizing a holiday, there are various factors to consider, but the most important one is, of course, safety. Therefore, the issue of organizing a place for the camp is regulated by the rules of the road.
“A place for a tent and parking a car” - that's what camping is in SDA. The proximity to such a site is indicated by a road sign, which is a blue rectangle, in the center of which a tent is depicted on a white background.
If the sign is located far from the campsite, then the distance to campground and an arrow indicating the direction of travel.
Equipment
The list of necessary things can be either very long or short, because when it comes to the question of what camping is, everyone understands his own. In any case, some things should not be neglected:
- first aid kit - without it, you should not go out into nature at all;
- tent and sleeping bag;
- warm clothes (the weather can change at any moment);
- headdress;
- food, water;
- tableware;
- insect protection cream and spray;
- Lantern.
Superior camping
By the way, those who want to go to nature, but don’t like all this tent romance, should pay attention to special “motorhomes”. For recreation in such motorhomes, even a separate name was invented - caravanning. Of course, they are not cheap, but nothing prevents you from renting such a car and spending your vacation with maximum comfort.
Another option for the most demanding is a camping hotel, but there are not too many of them yet. There is no clear definition of what a camping hotel is, but judging by the offers available on the Internet, one can conclude that these are cottages in the lap of nature. They allow you to enjoy the beauty of lakes and forests without interrupting the benefits of civilization.
What is camping? This is a way to have fun with family and friends, get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, enjoy the fresh air, feel the romance of camping. Relax in specially designated places - and you will be able to avoid unnecessary problems, and do not forget to clean up after yourself and take care of nature so that you would like to return to this place next year.
