Instructor traffic controller in wartime. traffic controller signals
An artillery gunner is a member of the gun crew and is a deputy gun commander. It carries out its activities in the course of the direct execution of a combat mission, making calculations of goniometers, pointing the gun at the target and firing at the destruction of enemy manpower and fire weapons
The artillery gunner is obliged to:
know well the design of the gun, prepare the gun, sights, ammunition for combat use in a timely and high-quality manner;
quickly find and eliminate emerging breakdowns and malfunctions;
accurately determine the range to the target, choose the aiming point, set the sight scale, accurately aim the gun at the target and conduct accurate fire
As a deputy gun commander, he must know in full his duties (relevant sections of military regulations and manuals, tactics and capabilities of enemy artillery)
In the course of combat training, the gunner works out the standards for pointing the gun at the target, studies the design of the guidance mechanisms, sighting device, methods for calculating goniometers, etc.
The most stressful moments in the gunner's activity are the monotonous and accurate pointing of the gun at the target and the firing of a shot.
The activity of an artillery gunner is associated with significant energy, dynamic and static loads, and is carried out at a tense pace set by the conditions of the combat situation. The volume of processed information is average. The type of activity is predominantly performing. Business contacts with calculation numbers – frequent and direct
The main means of labor - optical instruments and mechanisms for pointing artillery pieces
To effectively perform his duties, the gunner must have: the ability to quickly count in his mind and quickly perform complex motor actions, self-control and endurance, resourcefulness, quick perception and understanding of oral speech, accurate and coordinated movements with both hands, finger mobility, quickly and accurately manipulate with with the help of fingers, to maintain intense attention for a long time, despite fatigue and the action of constant stimuli, a quick reaction to a moving object
To master a specialty, a secondary (complete) general education is required.
Artillery gunners are trained in a training military unit
The gunner can improve his class qualification, and in the service he can be appointed to the position of gun commander or deputy platoon commander
Related civilian specialties: submachine gunner, gear cutter, gear grinder, optician, optician-mechanic, locksmith mechanical assembly works, mechanic-repairman, jeweler-fitter, adjuster

Attachment 1.
1. For signaling, the following are used: during the day, flags of two colors: red (orange) and white (yellow); at night - electric lamps or portable lamps with reflectors of two colors: red (orange) and green (blue).
2. Flags measuring 30x20 cm are made of wool. A 50 cm long shaft can be wooden or metal. Flags must be kept clean and erased in a timely manner; for this, the flag's cloth must be easily removed from the hoist. Flags are worn in leather or tarpaulin cases with a loop or hook for fastening to the belt.
3. All personnel of the armored units must know all the established signals and be able to give and receive them correctly.
4. Commands can be given either by one signal or by a combination of them, for example:
- to give the command "ANGLE BACK", you should give the signals: "Angle" and "Back";
- to issue a command. "LEFT TO THE RIGHT" signals should be given: "Ledge" and "To the right";
- to build a company in an open formation "Line of platoon columns" signals should be given: "Turn around" and "Line of columns"; the signal "Line of columns" is repeated several times.
To turn right or to stop, the signals should be given respectively: "To the right" and "Stop"; in the event that it is necessary to perform a simultaneous turn or a simultaneous stop, then the “All” signal is given before the turn or stop signal;
To transmit a command that refers to only one of the divisions, a signal indicating the number of the division is preliminarily given: "1st division", "2nd division", "3rd division".
5. It is prohibited to change the meaning of the signals established by this Charter and the procedure for their submission. It is allowed, if necessary, to temporarily install additional signals for giving them with flags, a hand, a cap, a branch and other objects.
6. Start signal execution from the moment it is given. Untimely acceptance of the given signal can occur only through the fault of those persons to whom this signal refers.

Annex 2
TABLE OF MACHINE CONTROL SIGNALS SUPPLIED BY HANDS OUTSIDE
Notes.
1. Signals to control the machine from the outside are given at parking lots for placing the machine in a shelter, when loading, etc.
2. The commander of the car, when controlling the movement of the car from the outside, becomes so that the driver can see him all the time, but no closer than 5 m from the car.
3. Each signal is repeated until it is received.
The gestures of the traffic controller are considered by novice motorists to be one of the most difficult points of traffic standards. When preparing and passing exams, they are not given much attention - future drivers think that they will not need it. Often, instead of special gestures, the traffic police officers themselves use waved hands and instructions with a baton that are more understandable to others. But on the road, you need to be prepared for any situation, including the fact that instead of a traffic light, traffic at the intersection will be controlled by a person from the Highway Patrol Service. What signals does the regulator give?
In total, there are three signals of the traffic controller, regulated by clause 6.10 of the SDA:
- The hand with the wand is raised up;
- Both arms are extended to the left and right or lowered;
- The right hand is extended forward.
Many people ask the question What is the significance of the whistle signal given by the traffic controller?". Answer - The whistle signal is given by the traffic controller to attract the attention of traffic participants.
Let us consider separately what the signal of the traffic controller means for pedestrians and drivers with explanations.
signal traffic controller - raised his hand up
In this case, the movement of everyone is prohibited - both vehicles and people, regardless of direction. To warn drivers, the traffic police officer must blow a whistle. You can not stop with your hand raised only in two cases - if your car is already at the intersection and if you have to brake urgently to stop, creating an emergency. In terms of its value, the signal is equivalent to yellow signal traffic lights for all road users.
The gesture of the traffic controller - lowered his hands or stretched them to the sides
The rules state that in this case, in front and behind the traffic police officer “red light” - the movement of cars, motorcycles, rail vehicles and pedestrians is prohibited. On the left and right sides, vehicles are allowed to move without crossing the conditional "line" of hands - that is, only forward and to the right. Pedestrians are crossing a direction that is currently prohibited.
Signal of the traffic controller - stretched his right hand forward
With this gesture of the traffic controller, all wheeled vehicles on the left side of him get the opportunity to move forward, left and right. Trams are only on the left. From the side of the chest, all modes of transport can only go to the right. Cars and trams from the back and right side of the traffic police officer must stand - the "red light" works for them. Pedestrians can cross the road on the "zebra" only behind his back.
Other signals and gestures of the traffic controller
According to paragraph 6.10 of the SDA, a traffic police officer can give other signs with the help of hands, a baton, a whistle and a loudspeaker, but on condition that they are understandable to drivers.
In practice, the traffic controller often works in this way, and does not resort to standard gestures. This is due to the fact that most drivers either do not remember them, or do not understand them well and get confused. And this is fraught with the emergence of dangerous situations, because the traffic police officer resorts to a convenient and understandable way both for himself and for those around him to regulate traffic at the intersection.
The priority of the traffic controller in traffic rules and responsibility for violations
Paragraph 6.15 states that the signals of the traffic controller are priority for drivers, even if they contradict the requirements of road markings, signs and even traffic signals. The instructions of the traffic police officer are binding on all road users, even for cars with special signals (siren and flashing beacon).
Failure to comply with its instructions and passage, despite the prohibition signal, is a violation of the law. Punishment is determined in accordance with Article 12.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The amount of the fine can range from 800-1000 rubles for the first offense and up to 5 thousand rubles and 6 months without a driver's license in case of repeated cases.
Video lesson: how easy it is to remember the meaning of traffic controller signals.
19. General duties of the traffic controller. Responsibilities under special conditions.
Adjuster subordinate to the chief or (when it completes the task on its own) the person who put it lo . Except for them, no one has the right to give instructions to the traffic controller regarding his work, to remove him from his post. His demands and the signals he gives must be strictly observed by all to whom they are addressed.
The traffic controller is responsible for the passage of columns in the right direction and, being constantly at the place indicated to him, is obliged:
be able to use the traffic controller's baton, signal flags, signal lamp;
clearly give signals, let through only the type of military equipment and vehicles permitted for movement on this road strictly in the direction indicated by the head of the post, in the established sequence, facilitate the unimpeded passage of command vehicles, vehicles equipped with special signaling devices and signs;
immediately take measures to eliminate traffic delays;
know the identification marks of the columns;
carefully observe the traffic and the situation in the area of the control post, demand that drivers comply with traffic rules and observe camouflage measures;
in case of violation of traffic rules by drivers, detain the following cars alone, write down their numbers and report to the head of the post,
know the state of the road in the area of your post, available detours, places of possible shelters, service points, names of the nearest settlements and the distance to them, the location of the site commandant;
warn, if necessary, the heads of columns, senior vehicles and drivers about the order and features of traffic on the road, about difficult and dangerous places on it;
when attacking a post, take measures to repel the attack.
To accompany columns in conditions of limited visibility (at night, in fog, snowstorm), as well as in areas where you can lose the direction of movement (during bypasses of destroyed sections of roads when passing through contaminated areas, large settlements, etc.), if necessary, from the composition of traffic control posts stand out conductors.
The conductor must:
know the route assigned for the movement of columns, and its features
meet the column indicated to him and lead it along the required route.
Heads of traffic control posts and traffic controllers and the commandant of the road commandant section to whom they are subordinate are issued a special certificate of the established form.
20. Modern military movement and its characteristics.
Every year more and more cars and road trains take to the roads of the country. A significant increase in the intensity and speed of traffic, as well as an increase in the share of very heavy and oversized trucks in the composition of the traffic, sharply complicated the situation on roads and put forward the problem of organizing and managing traffic as one of the most important for improving the efficiency of using road transport and reducing the number of traffic accidents. (accident).
When designing and building roads, traffic safety requirements are increasingly taken into account. In the areas of mass road transport, the most advanced motorways such as motorways with multi-lane traffic, widened roadsides are being created; special coatings are being sought to ensure maximum grip of tires with the road surface; roads are carefully marked and equipped with bright, clearly visible signaling devices and road signs.
Along the highways under construction, communication lines are being created with district switches that have access to road maintenance units, medical institutions, technical assistance points and the bodies of the State Automobile Inspectorate (GAI). Many official cars, taxi cars, police cars, emergency services and ambulances are equipped with radiotelephone communications.
The measures taken contribute to better organization of traffic and reduce the number of road accidents.
Traffic on military highways is different from traffic on roads in peacetime.
If the flow of traffic on the roads in peacetime consists of trucks and cars, then on WAD is moving into the core rated freight transport in columns, including a significant a special place is occupied by special heavy-duty vehicles containers and heavy road trains .
Military roads are being prepared for military movement. WAD is a road prepared for a military movement zheniya with deployed for its operation, recovery and technical cover by the forces and means of the road troops.
Columns of troops and rear make a march in the order of march established by the command. marching order - This is a grouping of forces and means created for movement in columns.
He must provide :
movement speed,
rapid deployment in the event of an enemy attack,
the least vulnerability to weapons of mass destruction and enemy air strikes,
the ability to quickly maneuver,
maintaining a solid interaction within the column,
saving forces of personnel and preservation of equipment,
maintaining sound management.
The most important feature of the military movement on military highways is its columnar construction . Single cars move along the VAD, joining the car columns, or are combined into separate columns of the required composition.
So, for the transportation of material resources movement is typical in platoon and company columns, in which 30-50% of cars with trailers and road trains.
Troops are marching predominantly at night, in the composition of their columns, part of the cars with trailers is 15-25%. However, these convoys may contain heavy-duty, bulky semi-trailers with tanks, towed vehicular-drawn artillery systems, and rocket launchers.
Features of traffic construction and restoration parts are a high proportion of heavy trucks and special vehicles, the presence of trailers of various types, including heavy ones.
The average length of an automobile column in a company, subject to established distances, is several kilometers. If there is a delay on the route for any reason, even for a short time, the distances between the columns can be reduced so much that a continuous flow is formed at the RAD.
Accumulations of vehicles on the VAD become a good target for the enemy, especially when they use high-precision weapons. But even without delays, with an increase in traffic intensity, the time intervals between the columns are so small that any unorganized exit of the columns of units (subdivisions) to the VAD is practically excluded or leads to disorganization of the general order of movement.
Heads of columns are appointed commanders of units or officers of the unit from whose vehicles the column is formed.
The military movement is greatly influenced by view of the enemy , which will seek to destroy the most important road objects in order to cause traffic interruptions and defeat troops and vehicles passing along the roads. The experience of local wars and ongoing military exercises shows that under conditions modern war centers of mass destruction, flooding, fires, dangerous radioactive, chemical and bacteriological contamination can occur on the VAD, and road units and many objects on the VAD can be subjected to constant attacks by enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
As a result of the influence of the enemy, the capacity of roads can be significantly reduced, while the volume of traffic can simultaneously increase. Under these conditions, for the further movement of troops and transport, along with work on direct preparation and restoration, the role of the operation of the VAD increases.
For traffic control on military highways organized road commandant service . The direct organization of traffic on the VAD is assigned to the commanders of the road commandant units and subunits. They organize a road commandant service and, if necessary, can direct convoys to alternate routes and detours without changing the general direction, as well as establish the order of movement in certain sections of the VAD (crossing areas, crossing sections, single-track sections, etc.).
The order of movement on military highways, as well as mutual obligations of traffic participants among themselves and with officials of the road commandant service at the VAD are defined:
traffic rules,
instructions on the procedure for planning military road transport in the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus,
guidance on the commandant's service.
Nowadays, seeing a traffic controller with a striped staff on the road is a rarity. And once they were an integral part of the urban landscape. Probably because putting a person was cheaper than an iron pole of a traffic light.
Let's remember how it was.
According to historical sources, the first traffic controllers in our country appeared back in tsarist times. In 1908, first in the capital of the empire - St. Petersburg, and then in Moscow, the police "on the busier streets were given white canes to regulate traffic and ensure the safety of pedestrians."
Unfortunately, I have not yet found pictures with pre-revolutionary traffic controllers. As well as their colleagues in the first years of Soviet power.
The earliest photographs known to me date back to the second half of the 1920s, when there were more traffic controllers due to the intensification of traffic.
1926 Regulator in Moscow:
1929 The traffic controller on Arbatskaya Square in Moscow:
Glowing stand-stump - it's cool! In later photographs, these are no longer found.
At the same time and legs warmed, probably.
On the other hand, the wands were for some reason abolished in the late 1920s (they would be returned only before the war).
1930s Guard on Zubovskaya in Moscow:
1931 Yalta:
Sometimes wands were still encountered (obviously, the issue was resolved at the local level).
1932 Kyiv. Police Officer:
1932 Kharkov. Policeman-regulator with a new staff-lantern:
1936 Policeman-regulator at night on Arbat Square in Moscow:
1937 Kyiv. The policeman regulates the movement of ships on the Dnieper:
1941 Moscow:
To the Great Patriotic war traffic controllers were replaced by traffic controllers.
1943 traffic controller I. Pazhinskaya in Leningrad:
In the military photographs, everyone already has wands (they were returned before the war).
1945 Regulator on the street of Moscow:
1946 Rostov-on-Don. traffic controller:
1947 Kyiv:
She also:
But then again this hard work began to be done almost exclusively by men.
1955 Moscow, Kutuzovsky pr-t:
Please note that in the frame there is a traffic controller and a working traffic light at the same time!
1956 Odessa:
1956 Traffic controller on Red Square:
1956-57 Manezhnaya Square in Moscow:
1958, turn to Matsesta.
