Background. The World Health Organisation estimates that 1.35 million people die as a result of road traffic crashes. Motorcycles as a means of transport are increasingly becoming the preferred and easiest means of transportation for most people in developing countries despite the associated risk. This study determined the prevalence and pattern of motorcycle crashes in Adidome among commercial motorcyclists. Methods. A descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used as 114 commercial motorcyclists were recruited to respond to a pretested research questionnaire in the Adidome district of the Volta Region. Data were analyzed using SPSS, version 22.0. Data were presented as simple descriptive statistics. A chi-square relationship was determined using the demographic variables, and the history of accident at a 95% confidence interval with 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results. The prevalence of road traffic crashes at Adidome was 64.0%. Motorcyclists (74.0%) were reported to have been involved in crashes in the past one year prior to the study. Motorcyclists attributed the last accident to excessive speeding (31.5%) and bad roads (23.3%), this accident as a result of colliding with another motorcycle (50.7%), and slippery surfaces (24.7%). The majority (63.0%) of the respondents had an accident once. The consumption of alcohol was associated with the occurrence of an accident as 34.2% occurred among cyclists who drank alcohol, compared with 29.8% who did not (p<0.05). Conclusion. There should be strict implementation of current road traffic regulations of Ghana by the MTTD of the Ghana Police Service, and penalties should be awarded against anybody caught riding a motorcycle under the influence of alcohol. Helmet and other protective devices must be made compulsory for motorcycle riders to prevent injuries, especially head injuries, if an accident occurs.

“…Dalam konferensi pers Indonesia Road Safety Award (IRSA) 2016 di Jakarta, Kepala Bagian Keamanan dan Keselamatan Korlantas Polri Kombes Indra Gautama, menjelaskan bahwa jumlah korban meninggal akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas saat ini jauh lebih tinggi dibandingkan korban meninggal akibat narkoba. Angka fatalitas korban meninggal dunia 26 ribu sekian, itu artinya sekitar 60-70 orang meninggal setiap hari akibat kecelakaan lalu lintas (Suthanaya 2016;Jusuf et al 2017), sedangkan narkoba hanya 40-50 sehari (Leechaianan & Longmire 2013). Hal ini berarti kecelakaan lalu lintas di Indonesia sudah harus menjadi prioritas.…”

Kebutuhan transportasi lalu lintas saat ini semakin meningkat. Ini sebanding dengan pertumbuhan jumlah penduduk yang ada. Dengan semakin meningkatnya jumlah penduduk tersebut, maka meningkat pula potensi kecelakaan yang dapat terjadi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menanggulangi fatalitas korban kecelakaan lalu lintas di kawasan Desa Tugurejo, Kecamatan Ngasem, Kabupaten Kediri. Dalam penelitian ini pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan menggunakan metode studi kasus. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa upaya kepolisian daerah Kediri dalam mengatasi kematian korban kecelakaan lalu lintas dilakukan dengan tiga pendekatan berbeda yaitu pre-emptif, preventif dan represif. Dalam pendekatan pre-emtif, pendidikan publik ditekankan mengenai pelatihan darurat pertolongan pertama (PPGD), kegiatan kepolisian Goes To School, difokuskan pada pemberdayaan masyarakat dan kampanye keselamatan lalu lintas melalui spanduk, baliho, dan media lainnya. Dalam pendekatan preventif, dilakukan melalui turjawali, serta melakukan kerjasama lintas sektoral dengan keterlibatan badan lain di luar kepolisian nasional melalui program SI PEKA. Selanjutnya, pendekatan represif adalah untuk melakukan operasi rutin dan operasi bersama dalam rangka meminimalkan jumlah kematian korban kecelakaan lalu lintas.

“…The predicted exponential growth of vehicles will be followed by rapid growth in oil demand and a significant increase in environmental impact such as air pollution, traffic noise, and road traffic accidents. By using traffic accident data in low-income regions (Karangasem regency in Bali province, Indonesia), [2] found that there were 172 accidents involving motorcycles. According to [3], more attention has been given to the adverse impact of road traffic noise on health in developing countries.…”

The economic growth of cities in developing countries is followed by the rapid growth of private vehicle ownership. The predicted exponential growth of vehicles will be followed by rapid growth in oil demand and a significant increase in environmental impact such as air pollution, traffic noise, and road traffic accidents. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors affecting car ownership. Studies on private vehicle ownership were mainly focused on the metropolitan area level. Using Badung regency as a case study, this study was focused on model car and motorcycle ownership in a medium-sized region by using Poisson regression. Data were collected from 180 households. The results indicated the characteristics of households with the highest percentage, namely car ownership per household of one unit (45.56%), and motorcycle ownership per household of three units (36.11%). For the motorcycle ownership model, there were three independent variables identified as significant predictors, i.e. monthly family income, monthly transport cost, and the number of family members. For the car ownership model, there were seven significant predictors, i.e. monthly family income ((MFI8, MFI7, MFI6), number of students in household, and other variables (safety, accommodating more family members, and social status).
