Compliance and Awareness as Mediation Variables on the Influence of Utility and Trust of Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement on the Traffic Habit

Road safety is the most important and main thing in traffic management. This is the shared responsibility of all elements of the nation, including regulators, law enforcement, road users, and so on. Based on this background, the purpose of this study is to determine and analyze the direct effect of Compliance and Awareness as mediating variables on the Effect of Utility and Trust in Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement on Behavior. The analysis of this research uses a survey method conducted at the intersection of Jalan Merdeka Selatan, Gambir, Central Jakarta. The population in this study were road users, namely four-wheeled drivers who passed the Jalan Merdeka Selatan intersection. The sampling technique used is non-probability sampling. The nine hypotheses gave a decision to reject the null hypothesis which means significant, meaning that each variable has a direct and significant effect on each other, namely: ETLE utility affects Compliance, Awareness, and Habits directly and significantly; ETLE trust directly and significantly influences Compliance, Awareness, and Habits; Compliance directly and significantly affects Consciousness and Habits; Awareness directly and significantly influences Habits. ETLE utility indirectly and significantly affects Compliance, Awareness, and Habits. ETLE trust indirectly and significantly influences Compliance, Awareness, and Habits. Compliance has an indirect and significant effect on Awareness and Habits. Develop a Habits in Traffic model defined by ETLE Utility and Trust mediated by Compliance and Awareness. The authenticity of this study can be seen in the indirect effect where there is still no research with the direction of such relationships and variables.

Governance and Effective Management: Speed Management Demonstration Project, in the Islamic Republic of Iran

The Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran (Iran) has embarked on a challenging project aiming to demonstrate how to make road travel safer through speed management measures based on Safe System Approach (SSA) and Result Based Management (RBM). This follows from mounting concern in curbing a high death rate from motor vehicle crashes in recent years. However, despite the Government’s commitment to address this problem, there have been setbacks owing to the challenges of putting in place a strong collaborative framework involving all the agencies charged with responsibilities for road engineering, traffic law enforcement and public education. Iran has established a National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) to lead and coordinate actions. In implementing a demonstration project, specific partnership arrangements have been established at national and provincial levels, as well as pillar-based project teams in 3 provinces. This paper examines the governance structure and opportunities to strengthen the collaborative management of the project and how similar programs can be established and executed in other countries to improve road safety based on SSA and RBM.

The Impact of Traffic Law Enforcement Regulations on the Incidence and Severity of Maxillofacial Injuries

Objectives: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are the main cause of facial injuries in Oman. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the new traffic law enforcement regulations (TLERs) on the incidence and severity of maxillofacial injuries in Oman. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal analytic study was conducted at three tertiary care hospitals in Muscat, Oman. All patients with RTA-related maxillofacial injuries for a five-year period from January 2005 to December 2009 (before the new TLERs) and the five-year period from January 2015 to December 2019 (after the new TLERs) were included in the study. Results: A total of 1127 patients were included in the study. Of these, 646 (57.3%) patients sustained RTA-related maxillofacial injuries before the implementation of the new TLERs compared to 481 (42.7%) after the introduction of TLERs. There was no significant difference in gender sustained injuries between the two study periods. The incidence of injury before the implementation of the TLERs was 22.7 per 100,000 population, which then reduced significantly to 11 per 100,000 after the new TLERs. Overall, there was a significant reduction in the mean facial injury severity score from 3.2 to 2.3 before and after the implementation of the new TLERs, respectively. Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that the newly introduced TLERs have resulted in a reduction in the incidence and severity of RTA-related maxillofacial injuries. Continuous improvement and reinforcement of TLERs will further help to reduce the burden of these injuries to the society in general and health services in particular.

PENERAPAN KEBIJAKAN ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC LAW ENFORCEMENT DALAM MEMBANGUN KESADARAN HUKUM MASYARAKAT BERLALU LINTAS DI KOTA SURABAYA

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the implementation of the Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement policy carried out by the police in building legal awareness of the people of the city of Surabaya during traffic. The research method used is empirical juridical method. Order in traffic is one of the efforts in realizing a state based on law. As is known, there are still many in the community who do not care about good and correct driving procedures in traffic. As a side effect, many people violate traffic rules and cause road accidents. In this case, the government has made efforts by issuing various policies to build public awareness in traffic, one of which is Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement. Such efforts are important to do in order to create security and peace in traffic on the highway.Keywords: electronic traffic law enforcemen;, legal awareness; trafficAbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari penerapan kebijakan Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement yang dilakukan oleh aparat kepolisian dalam membangun kesadaran hukum masyarakat kota Surabaya ketika berlalu lintas. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah menggunakan metode yuridis empiris. Ketertiban dalam berlalu lintas merupakan salah satu upaya dalam mewujudkan negara yang berlandaskan hukum. Sebagaimana yang diketahui, masih banyak ditengah masyarakat yang tidak memperdulikan tentang tata cara berkendara yang baik dan benar dalam berlalu lintas. Sebagai efek sampingnya, banyak dari masyarakat yang melanggar aturan-aturan lalu lintas hingga terjadinya kecelakaan di jalan. Di dalam hal ini pemerintah telah berupaya dengan mengeluarkan berbagai kebijakan untuk membangun kesadaran masyarakat dalam berlalu lintas salah satunya dengan Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement. Upaya yang demikian penting untuk dilakukan agar dapat terciptanya keamanan dan ketentraman dalam berlalu lintas di jalan raya.

Pedestrian Motor Vehicle Accidents and Fatalities in Botswana-An Epidemiological Study

According to WHO, more than 300,000 pedestrian deaths were recorded globally, accounting for 22% of total road user fatalities in 2019. In 2017, Botswana pedestrian fatalities were considerably high at 32% of the total road accident fatalities recorded. This paper investigated causes, distribution, risk, and offers potential solutions to pedestrian accidents and fatalities in Botswana. Secondary data extracted from different sources were analyzed through descriptive statistics and stepwise regression modeling was performed to determine significant explanators of pedestrian fatalities. The results show that the “car” vehicle type is responsible for 55% of pedestrian collisions. There is a higher chance of pedestrian fatality when collision is with a lorry with a trailer. On the other hand, driver negligence is also blamed for 55% of pedestrian accidents. Ninety percent (90%) of pedestrian fatalities happen away from road junctions. Truck, fuel imports and nighttime accidents were identified as significant regressors for pedestrian fatalities. Overall, pedestrians are six times more likely to perish in a collision than their counterparts. Adopting sustainable road infrastructure patterns that promote pedestrian safety will foster mode split. Improving road lighting and infusing pedestrian safety into driver training curriculum, while strengthening road traffic law enforcement, will lead to improved pedestrian safety. Future studies should disaggregate pedestrian safety analysis to account for location-specific variations.
