road safety legislation

Road safety legislation includes laws and rules designed to protect all road users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. These laws set standards for vehicle operation, licensing requirements, speed limits, and behavior such as wearing seat belts and not driving under influence. They also enforce penalties for violations to promote responsible driving and reduce accidents. The goal is to create a safer environment by ensuring consistency, accountability, and awareness on the roads. Compliance with these laws helps prevent injuries, saves lives, and maintains order on public streets and highways.
