road vehicle

vehicle meeting the requirements to operate within the driving space of a road
NOTE 1 to entry: Unless indicated otherwise, the term typically refers to vehicles that are allowed to operate in the same driving spaces as motorized passenger cars, according to the legal requirements of the local jurisdictional entity. However, the term can be contextualized for other environments. For example, a bicycle is a “road vehicle” when the “road” is a cycleway.
