Traffic law refers to the set of regulations that govern the movement of vehicles and pedestrians on roads. These laws are designed to ensure safety, maintain order, and facilitate the smooth flow of traffic. They cover various aspects, including speed limits, right-of-way rules, and the use of signals and signs.
Enforcement of traffic laws is typically carried out by local law enforcement agencies, such as police departments. Violations can result in penalties, including fines, points on a driver's license, or even imprisonment in severe cases. Understanding and following traffic laws is essential for all road users to prevent accidents and promote safety.
