      58. In order to ensure safety and traffic control at the checkpoints, a system of special obstacles, barriers and other devices is created, which are activated from the control desk of the border control unit. This system is designed to prevent the possibility of unauthorized departure of a vehicle beyond the border crossing point without passing the appropriate types of control.

      Depending on the functional purpose, barriers are safety and working. Safety barriers shall be used to block movement at the entrances and exits to the restricted area of ​​checkpoints. Working barriers shall be used to control traffic in the control lanes on the inspection platforms of vehicles. Their dimensions and design are determined in accordance with the width of the carriageway or the lane that they overlap. Barriers shall be equipped with a remote control device from the administrative building and control pavilions of the border service.
