road safety laws

Highway conduct rules

Road safety laws are regulations governing behavior on public roads—speed limits, traffic signals, seatbelt requirements, drunk driving prohibitions.

The phrase treats these various statutes as a unified category: The country strengthened its road safety laws after a spike in fatalities.

Also called traffic laws or road rules.
