Uniform Vehicle Code

The Uniform Vehicle Code (UVC) is a set of model traffic laws created to promote uniformity in vehicle regulations across the United States. Developed by the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Laws and Ordinances, the UVC covers various aspects of road safety, including driving rules, vehicle operation, and penalties for violations. While states can adopt or modify these guidelines, the UVC serves as a reference to help ensure consistency in handling traffic-related issues nationwide, making roads safer for everyone.
