Preamble

This Technical Regulation of the Customs Union was developed on the basis of the Agreement on Common Principles and Rules of Technical Regulation in the Republic of Belarus, the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation dated 18 November 2010.
The requirements of this Technical Regulation have been harmonized with the European Agreement on Main International Traffic Arteries (AGR) of the UNECE, Geneva, 15 November 1975, the UNECE Convention on Road Traffic, Vienna, 08 November 1968; the UNECE Convention on Road Signs and Signals, Vienna, 08 November 1968, Directive 2004/54/EC of the European Union dated 29 April 2004, and the Agreement on the Masses and Dimensions of Vehicles Engaged in Interstate Transport on the Roads of the States Members of the Commonwealth of Independent States dated 4 June 1999.

Article 1. Scope of Application

1. This Technical Regulation is adopted to ensure, at the stages of road design, construction, reconstruction, major road repair and road operation:
a) protection of the life and (or) health of citizens and property;
b) protection of the environment, animals and plants;
c) prevention of actions misleading consumers;
d) energy efficiency and resource conservation.
2. This Technical Regulation establishes the minimum necessary safety requirements for roads and the processes of their design, construction, reconstruction, major road repair and operation, as well as the forms and procedure for assessing conformity with these requirements.
3. The legal basis for technical regulation in the field of road safety during the design, construction, reconstruction, major road repair and operation of roads consists of international treaties and legislative acts of the Member States of the Customs Union on technical regulation in the field of roads, and this Technical Regulation.
4. The objects of technical regulation under this Technical Regulation are newly constructed, reconstructed, major-repaired and operated public roads and road structures located on them, including road appurtenances (only their location is regulated for roadside service facilities and roadside amenity facilities), as well as the related processes of design, construction, reconstruction, major road repair and operation of roads and road structures, and the road construction materials and products used.
5. The requirements of this Technical Regulation do not apply to roads that are not public roads, such as roads of industrial, construction, forestry and other production enterprises, roads intended for temporary use, roads located in special exclusion zones, and roads constructed for defence purposes or exclusively for sporting purposes.
In addition, the technical requirements of this Technical Regulation during design (including engineering surveys), construction, reconstruction, major road repair and operation do not apply to streets in populated areas.
6. A road is visually identified as an object consisting of a strip of land or the surface of an engineering structure that is equipped or adapted and used for the movement of land vehicles. For the purposes of this Technical Regulation, roads are identified by classes and technical categories according to the following characteristics:
a) conditions for access of vehicles to them;
b) number and width of traffic lanes;
c) presence of a central median;
d) types of intersections with other roads, railways, tram tracks, bicycle paths and pedestrian paths.
All public roads of the Member States of the Customs Union shall have a name indicating the initial, final and, where necessary, intermediate points, an index and a number in accordance with the procedure established in the Member States of the Customs Union for designating public roads and assigning them names, indices and serial numbers, taking into account their importance, class and category.
