6 APPENDIX 2 to the Regulations REQUIREMENTS for Multifunctional Road Service Zones on Highways of the State Enterprise 1. According to the long-term program of activities of the Russian Highways State Enterprise for the period from 2010 to 2015 approved by the order of the government of the Russian Federation on the 31th of December 2009 No p the highways of the State Enterprise shall be provided with the multifunctional road service zones. 2. The multifunctional road service zones on the highways of the State Enterprise are special zones for placement of integrated road service facilities, which provide highways customers with an all-inclusive service package, including vehicles maintenance and repair services, food services, recreation and other services. 3. The multifunctional road service zone on the highways of the State Enterprise (hereafter referred to as the MFZ) shall include: separate parking spaces for motor cars, trucks and buses; filling station with different types of fuel; toilets; rest area for drivers and passengers with designated smoking areas; food service facilities; shop; motel; car wash; maintenance station; showers; laundry; medical aid station; waste containers; telephone. The MFZ s facilities can also include: places (a market) for food and/or vernacular art souvenirs retail; parking spaces for motor cars with trailers (campgrounds); telecommunication service (internet); ATMs. 4. The MFZ shall ensure the accessibility of its facilities for persons with disabilities (including persons who use wheelchairs and guide dogs). 5. A design concept of the MFZ shall provide a possibility of reconstruction of the highway with increase of a number of traffic lanes without rearrangement of passageways and removal of any buildings and constructions. 6. The accepted design concept shall provide: high quality of customer service; efficient process solutions in accordance with specifications;

7 7 an architectural and structural design and color scheme of the MFZ to be blend with surrounding building, design and landscape, as well to ensure environmental safety. 7. In case of placement of the two-ways MFZ (placement of the MFZ on both sides of the highway) a pedestrian crossing shall be arranged between them in a different level. 8. The length of acceleration and deceleration lanes by entrance and exit of the MFZ s territory takes on a value in accordance with paragraph 5.23 of the SNiP * (Russian Construction Standards and Regulations) for the Iа technical grade of highways. A curve radius of intersection between the roadway and the entrance (exit) of the MFZ s territory takes on a value in accordance with paragraphs 5.10 and 5.12 of the SNiP * (Russian Construction Standards and Regulations) for the Iа technical grade of highways. 9. In this regard, the width of traffic lanes for different types of vehicles (motor cars, motor cars with trailers, trucks and buses) within the territory of the multifunctional road service zone shall take on a value according to the table 1. Table 1: Width of traffic lanes for different types of vehicles Traffic Lane Width, m without parking spaces - for trucks, buses and motor cars with trailers 5,50 - for motor cars only 4,50 with parking spaces (diagonal or parallel parking pattern) - for trucks, buses and motor cars with trailers 6,50 - for motor cars only 4,50 - for motor cars if buses and motor cars with trailers are passing nearby 5,50 Slip roads (exit and entrance) 5, 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 (All Union State Standard) Signal colors and safety signs. 13. A traffic plan and layouts for road signs, reflective studs, road surface marking and guardrails shall be developed in accordance with the GOST R (Russian State Standard) Traffic control devices. The road sign shall meet the requirements of the GOST R (Russian State Standard) 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 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 Width, m Depth, m Length, m Motor car diagonal 2,50 5,25 5,50 lengthwise 2,50 6,00 Truck diagonal 3,50 21,95 18,00 lengthwise 3,50 25,00 Bus diagonal 4,00 15,80 14,00 lengthwise 3,50 20,00 diagonal 3,50 16,30 Motor car with trailer 14,00 3,50 lengthwise 20, 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 Traffic lane Buffer lane 1.00 m Diagonal parking spaces for motor cars 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 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 (Fire Safety Regulations) Filling stations. Fire safety requirements. 24. In accordance with the paragraph 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 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 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:
