Traffic regulations

[edit]

See also: Category:Rules of the road

In many countries, the rules of the road are codified, setting out the legal requirements
and punishments for breaking them.

In the United Kingdom, the rules are set out in the Highway Code, which includes not
only obligations but also advice on how to drive sensibly and safely.

In the United States, traffic laws are regulated by the states and municipalities through
their respective traffic codes. Most of these are based at least in part on the Uniform
Vehicle Code, but there are variations from state to state. In states such as
Florida, traffic law and criminal law are separate; therefore, unless someone flees the
scene of an accident or commits vehicular homicide or manslaughter, they are only
guilty of a minor traffic offense. However, states such as South Carolina have
completely criminalised their traffic law, so, for example, one is guilty of a misdemeanor
simply for travelling 5 miles over the speed limit.

Trail ethics (right of way)


[edit]

Trail ethics are a set of informal rules for right of way for users of trails, including hikers,
mountaineers, equestrians, cyclists, and mountain bikers.

Organised traffic

Traffic heading in inverse ways ought to be isolated so as to not hinder each other's
way. The most essential guideline is whether to utilize the left or right half of the street.
