Who decides road rules?

Local councils, like Brighton & Hove, are responsible for setting and enforcing many road rules within their area. They work with the Department for Transport, which grants powers like the new Moving Traffic Enforcement. This local control allows councils to tailor rules to specific community needs, addressing local traffic problems and improving safety for residents.
