Traffic Laws and Ordinances
This article is about highway and transport engineering, this time we talk about Traffic Laws and Ordinances
The need for traffic regulations becomes abundantly clear when one considers that there re over 100 million motor vehicles registered in the United States, driven by more than 103 million drivers, covering over 1,000 billion vehicle-miles per year, over 3.7 million miles of roads and streets! In addition, motor vehicle accidents in 1968 resulted in 55,200 death and 2.0 million injuries. All of these facts completely justify the need for traffic, driver, and pedestrian regulations. Each intersection and every mile of highway is a potential point of accident or congestion.
The question of adequate traffic regulations is intimately related to the problem of moving people and goods safely and efficiently. The general public resents regulations, and from the public’s standpoint, the observance of traffic rules is largely dependent on the clarity. Reasonableness, and uniformity of the regulations. The proper purpose of all traffic legislation is not to impose unnecessary of unreasonable restrictions on highway traffic, but to insure, as far as this can be done by law and its enforcement, that traffic should move smoothly, expeditiously, and safely and that no legitimate users of the highway, whether in a vehicle or on a foot, shall be killed, injured or frustrated in such use by improper behavior of others. On the official’s side, traffic administration can be properly integrated, with authority and responsibility fixed by law.
Both traffic laws and ordinances are legislative actions. They differ only in the legal terminology applied. Traffic laws are generally enacted by state legislatures. Ordinances are classified as “legislative acts,” and are generally passed by local municipal legislative bodies. As such, the latter can usually be effected or rescinded more quickly than former, which may or may not be a benefit
