Traffic law is one of the most important and widely applicable areas of law that exists in the United States. Traffic codes set speed limits and impose various requirements meant to ensure the safety of every driver. The laws dictate when to yield and who to yield to, when you can and cannot make turns, and how you must interact with your fellow drivers. Traffic codes are enforced through various citations and tickets, as well as by the tallying of points on your driver's license record that could result in the loss of that license if you are found to be a consistently negligent driver. Traffic laws may also apply to bikers and pedestrians who share the road with motor vehicles.
