Traffic codes are laws that generally include provisions relating to the establishment of authority and enforcement procedures, statement of the

code-enforcement branch of government that handles illegal parking and other non-moving violations (e.g., noise and other emissions, illegal equipment). Elsewhere, there may be multiple overlapping police
agencies patrolling for violations of state or federal driving regulations.

on the street or highway. Many federal departments have also adopted their own traffic code for enforcement on their respective reservations (e.g., national parks, military bases).

Most countries define national legislation relative to car driving and penalties. Most of those regulations have some common basis to help people driving from one country to one other: Vienna Convention on Road Traffic and Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals have helped this harmonization effort.

Road, driving and traffic regulations are the subject to specific codification of the law in countries such as:

In Morocco, the law loi n°52-05 portant code de la route deals with a new traffic code, approved on 14 January 2009[4] and adopted on 11 February 2010 (26 safar 1431).


In Belgium this regulation is not a code although it is road traffic specific. It is defined by Koninklijk besluit houdende algemeen reglement op de politie van het wegverkeer en van het gebruik van de openbare weg. [KB. 09.12.1975].

In Switzerland, this legislation is not considered as code it is legislation number 741.01.

In United Kingdom there is no codification. Some laws, such as a

Highway Code
is edited by a public entity with guidelines based on and/or compatible with local law.

In European Union law, legislation is more oriented on transport competition and not on sharing the road. There is some effort oriented to issues such as driving license and car control.
