The Law on the Streets

The Law on the Streets refers to informal rules, customs, and social norms that people follow in public spaces to ensure safety, order, and cooperation. These aren't written laws but shared expectations that help guide behavior—like respecting personal space, yielding to pedestrians, or keeping noise levels appropriate. While official laws govern legal conduct, the "law on the streets" shapes everyday interactions in communities, neighborhoods, and public areas, promoting social harmony and reducing conflict through mutual understanding and courtesy.
