Just to make Bourth happy:
\"Police and roadway regulations\" but in combination with \"police\" it seems like the focus would be on traffic, not on construction. In any case, \"roadway\" would cover both.

CONSTITUTIONAL LAW OUTLINE ? LAPIERRE Mann Act (Hoke v. US) ? Congress ?may adopt not only means necessary but convenient to its exercise, and the means may have the quality of police regulations

Kassel v. Consolidated Freightways Corp?the court invalidated an IO law that prohibited 65 ft. double trailers from operating the state. The Court alluded to the strong presumption in favor of state highway regulations, but said that IO failed to present any persuasive evidence that 65 ft. double trailers are any more dangerous than 55 ft. single trailers.

agree  Bourth (X): Yes, thoroughfares, because the règlement covers such things as signs on sidewalks, awnings over windows (overhanging th epublic t'fare), café terraces on sidewalks, etc.

agree  Abdellatif Bouhid: 'municipal regulations'. I believe 'voirie' to mean 'public works at the municipal level' (chemins, éclairage, égouts, etc..)

public order regulations


Explanation:
I think "règlements de police" is "public order regulations" not "police regulations".

"Règlements de voirie" may be regulations relaitng to access rights depending on context, otherwise "regulations governing highways and public places" might fit.
