Description

The invention relates to the field of "Rules of the road for vehicles and pedestrians", in particular to the category of means of effectively crossing the zone of unregulated pedestrian crossing, regardless of time of day, weather conditions, the presence of markings and lighting, can be used by all countries of the world.

An unregulated pedestrian crossing is known (RU108875 U1, 09/27/2011), including a pavement area perpendicular to the center line of the carriageway, pairwise (double) mounted on pillars installed on the sides of the carriageways of both directions of the vehicle at the near border of the crossing to the approaching transport, one-way signs of special requirements for a pedestrian crossing with a fixed figure of a pedestrian crossing the crossing markings. Such a pedestrian crossing can be taken as an analogue. The analogue has inherent disadvantages:

- equipment (arrangement) of the crossing requires unreasonably excessive pairwise fastened opaque unilateral signs of the pedestrian crossing;

- reading the warning signal "Attention pedestrian" distracts the driver from the road and the pedestrian crossing.

The closest to the claimed device is an unregulated pedestrian crossing (US5059060 A1, 10/22/1991), including "Artificial bumps", half the width of the road and located on the sides of the pedestrian crossing at the near borders of the transition to the approaching transport, information and signposts are installed on the sides of the road signs and warning signs.

This unregulated pedestrian crossing is taken as a prototype.

The prototype has disadvantages:

- the absence of dividers-half-studs-racks on the axis of the road does not eliminate the desire of drivers to drive the left pair of wheels of the car into the "Artificial Roughness" detour with violation of the exit to the oncoming lane in the pedestrian crossing zone.

The listed disadvantages are not inherent in the claimed device.

The claimed pedestrian crossing is shown in FIG. 1 ... 4. In FIG. 1 shows a section AA in FIG. 2. In FIG. 2 is a plan of an unregulated pedestrian crossing. In FIG. 3 - node 1 in FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a view B of FIG. 2.

, равными половине ширины дороги

, расположенными на каждой стороне 5 дороги 2 на ближней границе 6 перехода к приближающемуся транспорту. "Искусственная неровность" 4 на ее конце на оси 3 дороги 2 снабжена светоотражающим полушипом-стойкой 7 высотой "2h" не менее двух высот "Искусственной неровности" "h", а на другом конце "Искусственной неровности" 4 по ее оси 8 с внешней стороны тротуара 9 установлена знаковая стойка 10, снабженная телескопической кассетой-каркасом 11, снабженной не менее двух секций-карманов 12, в которые вставлены исходные однослойные двухсторонний информационно-указательный знак 13 пешеходного перехода с нанесенным светоотражательной краской пешеходом и односторонний светоотражающий знак "Искусственная неровность" 14. Кассета-каркас 11 установлена на знаковой стойке 10 на высоте не менее 1750 мм от поверхности тротуара 15 в плоскости, перпендикулярной оси 3 дороги 2 и плоскости тротуара 15.Unregulated pedestrian crossing includes zone 1 of road surface 2, perpendicular to the center line 3 of the carriageway, which is equipped with "Artificial bumps" 4 length

equal to half the width of the road

located on each side 5 of road 2 at the near border 6 of the transition to the approaching transport. The “artificial roughness” 4 at its end on the axis 3 of road 2 is equipped with a reflective half-stud-resistant 7 with a height of “2h” of at least two heights of the “Artificial roughness” “h”, and at the other end of the “Artificial roughness” 4 along its 8 axis with the external on the side of the sidewalk 9, a signpost 10 is installed, equipped with a telescopic cassette-cage 11, equipped with at least two sections-pockets 12, into which the original single-layer double-sided pedestrian crossing information sign 13 is applied with a pedestrian and one-way reflective paint applied onny reflective sign of "humps" 14-frame cassette 11 is set on the sign stand 10 at a height of not less than 1750 mm from the surface of pavement 15 in the plane perpendicular to the axis 3 of the road 2 and a sidewalk plane 15.

The aim of the invention is the elimination of violations of the "Rules" of the passage of an unregulated pedestrian crossing, leading to personal injuries up to death, regardless of the time of day and increasing the efficiency in the use of materials in the production and installation of signs, as well as increasing the concentration of information content of signs that helps to prevent violation of the Rules Driving unregulated pedestrian crossing.

This goal is achieved by the fact that the sign rack is equipped with a telescopically folding cassette-frame, which is made a multiple of two relative displacements to the pocket sections and, accordingly, the original signs, which are required to be installed in the claimed invention, a single-layer information sign indicating a pedestrian crossing with a two-way "pedestrian" applied by reflective paint, and the sign “Artificial roughness” of the reflective design, located above the sidewalk in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the road and the sidewalk surface at a height of not less than 1750 mm, well lit by continuously switched on headlights of passing vehicles and visible at any time in advance of the pedestrian crossing, which eliminates the need to install an additional warning sign "Artificial roughness" at a certain distance to the pedestrian crossing and paired pedestrian signs transition.

Single-layer identical signs are easily inserted into the pocket sections of the cassette-frame and do not require its increased dimensions and weight, as well as the fastening of the signs in pairs with each other with the further fastening of their pair to the rack.

The installation of "half-studs" -racks in the headlights, covered with reflective paint, on the axis of the road on the sides of the pedestrian crossing at the ends of the "Artificial bumps" with a height of "2h" of at least two heights of the "Artificial bumps" h "in advance prevents the desire of drivers of oncoming lanes to conduct wheels of the left side of the vehicle to bypass the "Artificial Roughness" with mixing from a row with the intersection of even a conditional dividing line, which is often the case in practice, will exclude crossing a pedestrian crossing without reducing I am the speed of traffic right up to a complete stop.

The multiplicity of the cassette-frame for two signs is caused by the obligatory combination of the initial information-indicating signs of the pedestrian crossing and the "Artificial roughness" inserted into it. If necessary, a cassette-frame with more than two pockets for other types of signs of the required number within the width of the sidewalk can be made and installed, then in two or more rows with development upward in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the road and the surface of the sidewalk.

A sign rack with a cassette-pocket and sections-pockets in a pre-installation state, movable and folding relative to each other, are convenient for transportation and storage, since there is a reduction in the size of the cassette-frame to the area of one sign fixed at the top of the rack.

The device operates as follows.

In accordance with the existing Rules of the road, the proposed scheme for equipping an unregulated pedestrian crossing with the simplest sign designs that use the cost-free light energy of headlights driving around the clock is currently the most effective and has no analogues in the world in terms of the exception of minor injuries to pedestrians, especially fatal cases, due to the provision of compulsory early inclusion of the driver’s attention to action the effect of the reaction to signs due to the glow of reflective "half-spikes" -posts on the axis of the road projecting from a distance into one visible volumetric light conical "spike", and light non-flickering information and signposts of the pedestrian crossing with "Artificial roughness", placed in sections-pockets of the cassette frame, the perimeters of which can also be highlighted with a reflective border of color, the most obliging driver to make careful passage of the pedestrian crossing and give way, in accordance with the Rules, constantly decisive pedestrians - green.

The advantages of the claimed device:

- "Artificial roughness" on the border of the pedestrian crossing, equipped with reflective half-studs, projecting onto a single axis of the road in a single light cone, concentrates the attention of drivers around the clock in advance and long before the pedestrian crossing;

- an iconic stand with a height of 1750 mm, equipped with a telescopic cassette-pocket with relatively movable sections-pockets, in which reflective original signs are inserted, are located around the clock in the area of the headlights;

- a possible green color border of the perimeter of the cassette-cassette in addition to the light effect of the information content of the signs contributes to the tone of the reaction of drivers when crossing a pedestrian crossing;

- the use of single-word double-sided reflective structures of signs for installation helps to increase the efficiency of perception of information of signs by drivers and pedestrians using light rays from headlights of passing vehicles and is economical in terms of material costs;

- there is no need to install warning signs "Artificial roughness" to a pedestrian crossing;

- the total number of initial transitional information signs on both sides of the road has been reduced to four;

- there is no need to apply a “zebra” at the pedestrian crossing, since the pedestrian crossing zone is limited by “Artificial unevenness” and is notified by the information and signposts of the pedestrian crossing, glowing round-the-clock and without cost;

- the supply of "Artificial roughness" with half-studs at the ends along the axis of the road eliminates the violation by drivers of the "Artificial roughness" detour and, at the same time, travels into the oncoming lane in the pedestrian crossing zone. The claimed unregulated pedestrian crossing meets the patent requirements of the criteria of "Novelty" and "Non-obviousness", since it has significant distinguishing features from the prototype. It also satisfies the patent requirements of the “Substantial Differences” criterion, since neither the patent nor the technical literature have found a solution to the problem of saving lives of people with properties characteristic of the declared unregulated crosswalk.

The declared unregulated pedestrian crossing can be accepted for use by all countries of the world.
