In Russian administrative law, they rarely turn to the study
of the legal force of an administrative act, including such a
manifestation of it as the obligatory nature of an administrative
act. Traditionally, in the scientific and educational literature, one
can only find a statement that an administrative act is mandatory.
However, from a practical point of view, it is extremely important to
understand in detail for whom and to what extent an administrative
act is mandatory, in which cases an administrative act has no right
to “revise” even the court. The choice of a road sign as a subject
of study is due to the fact that a road sign is both an “unusual”
and “ordinary” administrative act. «Ordinary», because we meet
him every day as road users. «Unusual», because the road sign has
a complex legal nature, since it regulates a specific managerial
situation, but applies to an indefinite circle of people. On the
example of the binding force of a road sign as an administrative
act, based on the analysis of German and Russian judicial practice
and doctrine, the features of the Russian and German models of the
binding force of an administrative act are revealed.
