The purposes and policies of the Nebraska Rules of the Road are:

(1) To make more uniform highway traffic laws between states;

(2) To educate drivers so that they can develop instinctive habits resulting in safer emergency reactions;

(3) To educate drivers and pedestrians of all ages to more readily understand each other's responsibilities and privileges when all obey the same rules;

(4) To promote economic savings by relieving congestion and confusion in traffic;

(5) To increase the efficiency of streets and highways by the application of uniform traffic control devices;

(6) To reduce the huge annual loss of life and property which occurs on Nebraska's highways; and

(7) To assist traffic law enforcement by encouraging voluntary compliance with law through uniform rules.
