vertical long exposure photo of traffic on a motorway at night with light trails. Traffic is the movement of motorized vehicles, unmotorized vehicles and pedestrians on roads. Traffic laws are the laws which govern traffic and regulate vehicles, while rules of the road are both the laws and the informal rules that may have developed over time to facilitate the orderly and timely flow of traffic. Organized traffic generally has well-established priorities, lanes, right-of-way, and traffic control at intersections. In many parts of the world traffic is generally organized, flowing in lanes of travel for a particular direction, with junctions, intersections, interchanges, traffic signals, or signs. Traffic may be separated into classes: vehicular; non-vehicular ( bicycles); and pedestrian. Different classes may share speed limits and easement, or may be segregated. Some countries may have very detailed and complex traffic laws while others rely on drivers' common sense and willingness to cooperate. Organization typically reduces travel time. Though vehicles wait at some intersections, wait time at others is much shorter. An unexpected occurrence may cause traffic to degenerate into a disorganized mess: road construction, accidents, or debris may all disrupt the flow. On particularly busy freeways, a minor disruption may persist in a phenomenon known as traffic waves. A complete breakdown of organization may result in traffic jams and gridlock. Simulations of organized traffic frequently involve queuing theory, stochastic processes and equations of mathematical physics applied to traffic flow. Rules of the road are the general practices and procedures that road users follow, especially motorists and cyclists. They govern interactions with other vehicles and pedestrians. The basic traffic rules are defined by an international treaty under the authority of the United Nations, the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic. Not all countries are signatory to the conve
