Explicación Simple

Las ciudades pueden poner reglas sobre dónde y cómo estacionar los autos. También pueden decidir quién puede manejar en ciertas calles y cómo se deben mover los vehículos para que todos estén seguros.

Es como cuando en una casa se establecen reglas sobre dónde jugar y dónde no, para que todos puedan disfrutar sin chocar entre sí.
