State Traffic Laws

There are some basic rules of driving that are true for all states. For example, all states require that drivers drive on the right side of the road and obey the speed limits. There are differences among the states, however, when it comes to the more detailed aspects of driving. It's important that you know the driving laws of the state you live in, and check the laws each time you move or decide to travel through another state. FindLaw's State Traffic Laws section provides information about the traffic laws and driving rules in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Some of the information you'll find in this section includes each state's online vehicle code, links to statutes for common traffic violations, and state-specific driving manuals.
