road rules

Traffic behavior codes

Road rules are the regulations governing traffic and vehicle operation on public roads—speed limits, right-of-way, signaling requirements, and the like.

The phrase is more common in Australian and British English than American, where traffic laws or rules of the road predominate: You need to learn the road rules before your driving test.
