Do you believe in traffic laws?

Traffics laws prevent wasting human life, money and properties. Traffic laws don't fall under what god has revealed, they just help easing daily life of people and make it safe. Traffic laws do not necessitate committing any kufr, they do not require making halal into haram or haram into halal.

The only issue that I can see with traffic laws is insurance, which can be replaced with an Islamic concept of solidarity funds.

No I don't. I believe there should be safety measures in place such as the red light, the seat belt, the speed limit etc and whoever disobeys those should be punished according to what the sharia would prescribe for endangering the life of yourself and others, it should not be done according to secular law.
