Traffic contract

Imagine you want to borrow your friend's toy, but your friend is worried that you might break it. So, you make a promise that you will take good care of the toy and return it on time. This promise you make is like a traffic contract.

A traffic contract is an agreement between two people or groups about how they will behave when they are using a road or a highway.

When we drive on the road, we agree to follow certain rules such as stopping at a red light, slowing down at a yellow light, using turn signals to indicate when we want to turn, and obeying speed limits. These rules are in place to keep us safe and avoid accidents.

Just like the promise you made to your friend, when we sign a traffic contract, we promise to follow these rules and drive safely on the road, and in return, we expect other drivers to do the same.

Failure to follow the rules and break the traffic contract can result in serious consequences such as getting tickets, causing accidents, and injuring others. So, it's essential to always follow the rules and drive responsibly.
