Traffic and the Transportation Code.



Have you ever got a “TRAFFIC” TICKET?





The word traffic does not appear in the 1828 Webster’s dictionary. Therefore it must not be a common law term and used later only as a corporatist commercial meaning. The Texas Transportation code is packed full of uses of this word all through the Code.
