{{Main|Traffic code in the United States}}
For the [[traffic code 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 (and [[Traffic Violations Reciprocity|penalties]]) to each other's licensed drivers. There is also a "[[Uniform Vehicle Code]]" which has been proposed by a private, non-profit group, based upon input by its members.  As with many such offerings, some states adopt selected portions as written, or else with modifications, and others create their own versions.  Similarly, most states have adopted relevant standards for signs and signals, based upon the [[Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices]] from the U.S. Department of Transportation.  Many of the standard rules of the road involve consistent interpretation of the standard signs and signals, such as what to do when approaching a stop sign, or the driving requirements imposed by a [[double yellow line]] on the street or highway.  Many federal departments have also adopted their own traffic code for enforcement on their respective reservations (e.g., national parks, military bases).
