What is the primary purpose of traffic laws?

  1. To monitor the speed of vehicles

  2. To prevent violations from occurring

  3. To ensure safety and order on the road

  4. To collect fines from offenders

The correct answer is: To ensure safety and order on the road

Options A, B, and D are all secondary purposes of traffic laws and do not encompass the main focus of promoting road safety and order.
