  Traffic code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Traffic code (also motor vehicle code) refers to the collection of local statutes, regulations, ordinances and rules that have been officially adopted to govern the orderly operation and interaction of motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians and others upon the public (and sometimes private) ways.
The traffic code generally includes provisions relating to the establishment of authority and enforcement procedures, statement of the rules of the road, and other safety provisions.
In the United States each state has its own traffic code, although most of the rules of the road are similar for the purpose of uniformity, given that all states grant reciprocal driving privileges to each others' licensed drivers.

 SFGov: San Francisco Bicycle Program: Bicycle Plan - Part 8   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Traffic law is regulated by the State of California, and cities and counties may not regulate traffic on their streets, including bicycle traffic, except where they are expressly authorized to do so.
Because the California Vehicle Code, from which the City derives its regulatory authority and with which it must not conflict, was recodified in 1959 and has often been amended since, portions of San Francisco's Traffic Code (part of the Municipal Code) may be invalid, as well as confusing and out of date.
Since those Traffic Code provisions are authorized by the Vehicle Code, this section is preempted by Vehicle Code '21200, which adds that bicyclists also have "all the rights" of the driver of a vehicle.

traffic violation was merely a pretext and the officer's primary motivation was to investigate prostitution.
However, in the context of traffic code violations, the dissent claims that "the existence of probable cause that the infraction was committed is manifestly insufficient to control arbitrary police conduct" (id.
Yet in the context of pretextual traffic stops -- traffic infraction stops that would not have been made but for the aim of the police to accomplish an otherwise unlawful investigative seizure or search -- the existence of probable cause that the infraction was committed is manifestly insufficient to protect against arbitrary police conduct.

 Mysterious Net traffic spurs code hunt | Tech News on ZDNet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The only problem with the traffic was that its supposed source was from an Internet address that couldn't exist; the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, or IANA, had reserved the block of addresses that contained the number, so no Internet router would have forwarded such data.
Previous traffic that doesn't match the current code's data patterns may have been caused by an earlier variant of the code, he said.
However, the most current theory based on analysis of the code seems to indicate that what Intrusec found is a scanner and attack tool that communicates by sending out information to random addresses hoping that another computer infected with the program would be at the other end.

The international traffic signs were adopted by most continental nations in 1934/35 to replace the individual countries' obsolescent and widely varying systems.
One of the important international traffic engineering concepts is the priority road or street (Vorfahrtstrasse), on which one enjoys right of way, valid to a sign where it gets cancelled again.
The two arrows in both signs are of course interchanged as necessary in the case of left-hand traffic, as in the UK.
