In the article the issues regarding the place and role of transport law in the law system are investigated. We have summarized the scientific views about the character of transport law relations. In particular, it is stated that the legal definition of transport may be the result of the system analysis at two levels: general theoretical and commercial-legal. Taking into consideration these positions, the qualifying characteristic of the first level is to determine the type of transport law relations within legal theory, and the second level qualification gives the transport law grounds of commercial law relations and to determine their characteristics within the commercial law. However, the law relations is enhanced role of transport as a form of commercial law relations and determined purpose of legal regulation of transport activity. Industry objectivism causes traffic legal definition of general theoretical positions, separating them from other law relations on an industry basis. Industry objectivism can cause internal and external abstraction. Еxternal abstraction provides dominant signs transport sector law relations and provides opportunities for the selection of their other law relations in general theoretical sense, and, along with other industry law relations (civil, administrative) in a special sense. Internal abstraction characterizes as many vehicles as a kind of commercial law relations and leads to their isolation in a separate category together with other types of commercial law relations - insurance, investment, brokering and more. Considering these positions the author defines law as a transport subsector of commercial law.
