Additional requirements for the movement of horse-drawn carts, as well as for driving animals

amended April 8, 2020

25.1.
People who are at least 14 years old are allowed to drive a horse-drawn cart (sleigh), to be a packer of pack, riding animals or herds when driving on roads.

25.2.
Horse-drawn carts (sledges), riding and pack animals should move only in one row, possibly to the right. Roadside traffic is permitted if this does not interfere with pedestrians.

Columns of horse-drawn carts (sledges), riding and pack animals, when moving along the carriageway, must be divided into groups of 10 riding and pack animals and 5 carts (sledges). To facilitate overtaking, the distance between groups should be 80 - 100 m.

25.3.
The driver of the horse-drawn carriage (sled) when driving on the road from the adjacent territory or from a secondary road in places with limited visibility must lead the animal under the bridle.

25.4.
Animals on the road should be distilled, usually in the daytime. Drivers should direct animals as close to the right edge of the road as possible.

25.5.
When animals are run through the railway, the herd should be divided into groups of such numbers that, taking into account the number of drivers, a safe run of each group is ensured.

25.6.
Drivers of horse-drawn carts (sleighs), pack drivers, pack animals and livestock are prohibited:

  • leave animals on the road without supervision;

  • to drive animals through railways and roads outside specially designated places, as well as in the dark and in conditions of insufficient visibility (except cattle drives at different levels);

  • to drive animals along the road with asphalt and cement concrete pavement in the presence of other ways.
