Last week on the development of a new standard for state registration plates Vehicle, that is, numbers that are issued when registering cars, motorcycles and other equipment. The document is being developed by the Road Traffic Safety Institute of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. It was there that the editors of Za Rulem.RF received a copy of the draft new GOST R 50577 in the first edition.

The main thing: no RFID tags, changes in the number of numbers or letters, no refusals from the region code are planned. That is, ordinary car plate numbers will remain in the format M 000 MM 55, where the last two digits indicate the region code.

The only thing that will change dramatically: there will be more types and sizes of rooms. In addition, there were clarifications in the standard. For example, “motor sledges” disappeared from GOST, but “off-road motor vehicles and snowmobiles” appeared. A new type of rear license plate for cars and trucks With custom size(type 2): unlike ordinary numbers, it is two-line, and its dimensions are 290x150 mm versus 520x112 mm for single-line ones. Such numbers should stand up as native cars from Japan and the USA.

The torment of motorcyclists has also come to an end: most of the number plates on modern motorcycles are adapted for a more compact number than today. If the new version of GOST is approved, then the length of such a number (type 6) will decrease by 15 mm (up to 230 mm), and the height - by 60 mm (up to 125 mm). Now you don’t have to figure out how to securely fix the number, and it’s also no longer possible to complicate readability by bending the number and justifying it with the design of the platform.

New types of vehicles have appeared in GOST: classic (retro) cars and trucks, classic (retro) motorcycles and mopeds, sports motorcycles, sports cars and trucks. Their numbers resemble transit numbers: a separate cell with the corresponding letter is highlighted on the left, and the number has the format MM 000 55. The dimensions correspond to the usual standard numbers and numbers for cars with a non-standard attachment point.

For classic (retro) cars and trucks (type 22 and 23) and motorcycles (type 24), they begin with the letter "K".

Numbers for sports motorcycles (type 27), cars and trucks (type 25 and 26), respectively, begin with the letter "C" and also have the format MM 000 55.

Actually, this is where all the changes in GOST end. It remains unclear what the developers mean by sports vehicles. If we are talking about racing vehicles, then cars are required to have license plates only in rallies and rally raids, where there are stages on public roads. It cannot be ruled out that the Rules traffic a new category of vehicles may appear. It is possible that cars with an engine more powerful than 250 hp will be equated to sports cars. and with a certain type of body.

Naturally, based on the results of the discussion, and even after it, new amendments can be made to GOST, it will have to be rewritten and supplemented. So, it is possible to expect its entry into force only by the end of next year.

As we wrote earlier, the Research Center for Road Safety Problems of the Russian Federation began to develop. The new GOST license plates should appear in the fall of 2018. It was reported that sketches of state numbers, made in accordance with the new GOST, are ready and awaiting feedback from representatives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Today, the first sketches of license plates made according to a new type have appeared on the Internet. The photographs of the sketches show several options for rooms, their dimensions and style of execution.

At the moment, several options are being considered for how license plates may look. For example, according to one of the proposed sketches, the region code can be transferred from the right corner to the left side of the license plate. In another variation, the possibility of completely refusing to indicate this code is considered.

For rare cars sports cars, motorcycles, and mopeds plan to introduce separate types of state registration numbers. From the futuristic, the possibility of using polymer license plates and radio frequency fixation (probably to track fugitive violators) is being discussed.

A few more innovations will be changes in the size of license plates for motorcycles, the introduction of square-shaped rear license plates for cars brought from the United States and Japan, which are many on today's roads in the country. And finally, if the NIC still refuses the numbers of the new "square" standard for American and Japanese cars, most likely it will indicate standardized places for drilling ordinary license plates, because, as you know, it is very difficult to fix a regular license plate on a non-standard bracket on cars from the USA . And according to the law, it is forbidden to drill numbers on your own.

Due to the constant growth in the number of vehicles, the situation with car numbers in the Russian Federation is getting worse every year and definitely needs to be changed.

The stock of combinations in many regions has long been exhausted, which is why it is necessary to enter additional codes and even issue registration plates from other regions. In addition, current model numbers do not fit on some new American and Japanese vehicles.

What will the new license plates look like in Russia?

Design Developer

Artemy Lebedev's studio became the developer of the new registration plates. However, this has not yet been officially confirmed, but given that this company has previously received large government orders, this option looks quite plausible.

In addition, it is unlikely that a design studio would begin to take on a fairly large-scale project without any agreements.

New format

Recently presented new Russian license plates will receive a region code of 3 letters included in its name, which will greatly simplify identification. Next will be the coat of arms of the subject, and under it the inscription RU.

The next 2 digits and 4 Latin letters will be unique for each vehicle in the region.

To avoid confusion in pronunciation, not the entire alphabet will be used, but only 17 characters, excluding H, I, P, Q, U, V, W.

This rule does not apply to region codes.

According to some reports, registration plates may even be left without a region, since with the advent of the possibility of registering a vehicle in any subject of the federation, this column has lost its meaning. But at the moment such a decision has not yet been made.

According to Lebedev himself, the new registration plate format has the following advantages:

• increased information content;
• a large number of unique combinations;
• protection against fakes by drawing;
• the use of a special font that facilitates the reading of information.

At the moment, anyone can visit the official website and see a sketch of any number in a special form.

Differences in license plates for different types of vehicles

So far, only license plates for cars are presented. Perhaps the numbers for trailers, motorcycles and other vehicles will be presented later.

According to another version, innovations will not affect them, since there is no shortage of combinations in these categories now.

As for the numbers of special vehicles, they will retain the current colors:

• red - diplomatic cars;
• yellow - taxis and public transport;
• blue - police;
• black is the army.

The background color of private vehicles will remain white.

Features of rooms in Moscow

Moscow license plates (MSK) will feature the emblem of the city, while cars from the Moscow region will receive the emblem of the region and the MOB code.

It should also be noted that the updated car license plates will put an end to the parallel use of several codes for Moscow (currently there are 6) and other regions, unifying the design of the numbers.

Is it possible to book a room in advance?

The studio website offers to book a room by publishing it in one of the popular social networks.

This is a rather strange way, since it is not clear whether this will be evidence in the traffic police and what will prevent you from booking a room for the purpose of resale.

Nevertheless, it is popular, and many, even not the most beautiful rooms, have already received owners.

Now pre-order license plates are available at a price of 3000 rubles.

When will a replacement be required?

So far, there is no detailed data on the replacement procedure, but it is assumed that new-type numbers will be issued when the vehicle is registered or at the request of the owner, as well as in case of loss or damage to the current number.

Will the old numbers still work?

Of course, it will not be possible to carry out the reform immediately, therefore, even in its most radical version, the signs of the 93 model and the new license plates on cars in Russia will continue to be used in parallel for some time.

Based on the experience of previous reforms, the use of old license plates will not be limited, they will simply cease to be issued.

For example, on the roads you can still find numbers of the 1958 model, although they were replaced back in 1980.

Opinion of experts and ordinary drivers

Despite the fact that many car owners note the presence significant shortcomings in valid license plates, new design not everyone liked it and received a lot of criticism.

So, drivers are outraged by the use of Latin letters instead of Cyrillic.

In their opinion, this will significantly complicate the visual perception of car registration plates and their memorization, since not all residents of the Russian Federation know a foreign language.

Experts, on the other hand, have a different opinion on this matter.

As their main argument, they cite the current requirements of the 1968 Vienna Convention on the use of exclusively Latin letters in numbers intended for international travel.

However, they also highlight the difficulty of reading the numbers.

In particular, it is noted that the region code attracts too much attention, since it is located on the left side. This will make it difficult to recognize the remaining characters, which are just the most important. The experts also assured that numbers are remembered better because they add up to numbers, while it is very rare to make a word out of letters.

Supporters of the preservation of the current license plate model did not bypass the issue of the cost of manufacturing and developing registration plates, as well as improving the means of their automatic recognition.

A lot of questions are also raised by resistance to mechanical damage.

It is only known that the plates will be made of metal and covered with a reflective film.

In addition, some letter combinations form obscene words, but their withdrawal from circulation has not yet been reported.

Timing

A discussion of the format of new license plates in Russia is scheduled for the fall of 2020, a layout should be ready by the spring of next year, and the final one will be approved in the fall of 2020.

With the advent of the new year in Russia will begin to operate new GOST"Signs for state registration vehicles", approved by order of Rosstandart. Details about the new standard are written by Kommersant.

The current license plate format has been operating in Russia since 1993. Since then, new types of license plates have been repeatedly introduced, three-digit designations of regions have appeared, but the standard has not fundamentally changed.

This time there will be no serious innovations either, although rumors about a complete change in the format of license plates appear from time to time. So far, we are only talking about introducing a few new or changing existing types license plates.

One of the main innovations of GOST is reduced motorcycle numbers. The current 24.5 x 16 cm plates are too large for modern two-wheeled vehicles, and the new smaller signs (19 x 14.5 cm) will fit on motorcycle license plates without any problems.

Also, the new standard will please owners of cars imported privately from Japan or America with a “square” platform under rear number. Now it will be possible to order a license plate of 29×17 cm in size from the traffic police with symbols arranged in two rows.

It is planned to introduce a new type of numbers for mopeds with engines of more than 50 "cubes" that do not fall under the motorcycle standard. These will be rectangular plates with two rows of symbols according to the “AA 12 AA” pattern.

Two more new types of signs are designed for sports and classic cars- they can be recognized by the letter "C" or "K" separated by a strip, respectively. However, there are no rules for registration of such equipment yet.

Finally, the new GOST lifts the ban on drilling holes in the room. It will be allowed to make additional holes for attaching the sign, if the holes do not touch the symbols or the flag.

According to Kommersant's sources, one should not expect the issuance of new types of license plates to begin in January. The state traffic inspectorate will need time to change its own regulatory documents in accordance with GOST and to issue stocks of numbers of old formats.

Next year 2019 for citizens Russian Federation will be a year of change: new pension legislation will come into force, the amounts of some social benefits will change and new taxes will appear. In addition, car owners will have to face some changes.

This time, we are not talking about changes in traffic rules, but about a new format for license plates that will be mandatory for all vehicles of a certain type. At the same time, radical changes are not expected - the government decided only to adjust the current GOST. So from January 2019, state signs on cars and motorcycles will be installed in a new size and shape.

Why and from what date are there changes?

There are several reasons why Rosstandart establishes a new number format. Firstly, the Russian Automobile Federation of the Russian Federation has long been talking about the need to introduce a special sign for classic vehicles. Its representatives are already engaged in the development of special rules governing the movement of these funds. And in order to bring these rules to life, it is first necessary to establish new principles for registering classic vehicles.

For imported motorcycles and cars, signs are reduced due to the fact that the domestic number plate is larger than the area provided for its installation. But in 2019, drivers won't have to bend the number plate or use adapters, as the new format will fit perfectly into the standard trim.

In addition, the range of registration numbers narrows more and more every year, and the unique ones may end very soon. Therefore, it urgently needs to be expanded for some types of vehicles.

Is it necessary to change numbers?

The project to update the GOST license plates began to be developed two years ago, but only from January 1, 2019 it will come into force. The installation of new types of state signs will be mandatory for all categories of vehicles affected by the changes, in particular vintage cars, sports and classic models, American and Japanese cars, as well as mopeds and motorcycles.

Latest news: what will change?

• Signs of vintage cars, as well as in the case of standard cars, will be marked with the letter "K" - a classic. A line separates it from other characters. The innovation will affect both cars and trucks.
• Sports cars will have the letter "C" on the numbers - sport. It will also be located in front of the numbers and will be separated from them by a line.
• According to the new standards for foreign vehicles (Japanese and American cars), the size of the sign will be reduced to 290x170 mm.
• Owners of foreign motorcycles will set numbers in the size of 190x145 mm, while 245x160 mm are currently used. The same badges will become mandatory for mopeds and maxi-scooters whose engine capacity exceeds 50 cc, as well as ATVs, but with a slightly different structure.
• Also, after production, each sign will be assigned a special non-repeating code, consisting of 12 characters. It will encrypt information about the manufacturer, release date, sale, and so on.
• According to the new GOST, vehicle owners will be able to drill additional holes on license plates. The main condition is that they do not go to the flag icon, numbers, letters and RUS code.
