“…The red component contributes significantly to the reduction of wasted start-up time and also affects red light violations at junctions, raising infractions in the final ten seconds of the red light and decreasing them in the first ten seconds of the red-light. According to [4], red-light offenses are associated with four factors: The number of approaches, their speed, the width of the road, and the speed at intersections [1], traffic light offenses are related to five factors: the time of day (weekdays or weekends), the location of the camera, the vehicle type (two-wheeled or four-wheel drive), the cycle time (long or short), and the type of traffic signal (with Countdown Timer or normal) [13], the presence of cameras significantly reduced walking red-light violations [16], traffic violations are affected by one's sense of priority, speed, and understanding of the rules [18], private automobiles are responsible for the majority of violations at signalized intersections [5], red-light cameras are effective at reducing red-light violations and tend to be effective at reducing certain types of traffic violations [5], red light cameras are effective at reducing red-light violations and tend to be effective at reducing certain types of traffic violations…”

Air pollution is transported via human conduct [22]. The goal of this study is to determine how drivers behave differently based on their gender at a signalized intersection with a Countdown Timer. The study enrolled 50 individuals who completed a questionnaire and delivered it to Bappeda, the transportation agency, drivers who were extending the KIR (motor vehicle test) at the transportation service, and the general public via Google Form via Whatsapp (Wa). The data were collected using a questionnaire and a Likert scale and analyzed using SPSS 20 and logistic binary regression analysis. The Binary Logistic R2 Nagelkerke model is used to determine the contribution of all independent variables to the dependent variable. The R2 coefficient discovered is 0.157. (15.7 percent). With an R2 score of 15.7%, 84.3 percent of the independent variables remain unexplained. And with an exp (X1) value of 0.463, increasing X1 results in a 0.463 change in Y. As a result, when individuals agree to the yellow light, their likelihood of agreeing to gender influence increases by 0.463 times. This conclusion can be used to help stakeholders in developing regulations that need a more thorough evaluation of the use of yellow flame before and after red.

“…Related studies [15,16], meta-analysis [17], and a review article [18] all show a statistically significant positive correlation between traffic violations and traffic crashes. Yoh et al [19] illustrated that the type of specific illegal behavior is related to the severity of the crash. Wang et al [7] conducted a descriptive analysis using the traffic violation statistical data in China from 1995 to 2005 and inferred that five kinds of illegal behaviors such as speeding and drunk driving caused 40% of fatal crashes.…”

About 90% of traffic crashes are caused by human factors, within which traffic violations are one of the most typical and common causes. In order to investigate the relationship between traffic violations and traffic crashes, this research targets signalized intersections in two Chinese cities: Yinchuan and Suqian. Thirty-one intersections are selected as the research sites, and additionally, the traffic volume, traffic violation, and traffic crash data of each intersection are collected for one year. A White’s test is conducted to test the homoscedasticity of the data and a multiple linear regression model is employed to investigate the relationship between traffic crashes and violations. The results show the following: (1) although the research sites are located in two different cities, the data is homoscedastic, which suggests that the above result may be statistically stable between different cities. (2) There is a significant multiple linear regression relationship (R2 = 0.782, adjusted R2 = 0.716) between the total number of traffic crashes and traffic violations. Among the chosen 7 independent variables, four are significantly related to the dependent variable, namely, driving commercial vehicle during internship, wrong-way entry, speeding, and traffic-light violation. (3) With the increase of annual average daily traffic (AADT), the number of total crashes goes up; however, the injury-or-fatality rate decreases, which means that intersections with smaller traffic volumes tend to have higher traffic crash severity. Based on the above conclusions, it is possible to conduct more targeted enforcement to improve the safety of intersections.

“…Sunagawa et al (2015) proposed a holistic framework on safer use of road crossing facilities by including PSC elements as a way to create a balance in the usability, safety and accessibility of the road space. Yoh et al (2017) utilized the PSC principle to identify and classify the traffic violations and accidents that foreign drivers in Japan are prone to commit depending on their region of origin. Mwebesa et al (2018) defined the relationship between 3Es and PSC principle as a safety hexagon that represents a type of crosssector cooperation approach, whereby PSC represent the risks or causes of road accidents while 3Es represents the solutions to these problems.…”

Globally, motorcycle riders make up the biggest percentage of vulnerable road user fatalities. The percentages are higher in African cities where moto-taxi transport is not only the most readily available mode of transport but also a source of income for many especially the youth. Many African cities are re-strategizing on how to sustainably deal with problems like traffic congestion, unplanned development, flooding, air and noise pollution. The authors carried out a questionnaire survey targeting a variety of road safety stakeholders to identify road safety solutions that they think best fit the current situation. Another questionnaire survey targeting moto-taxi riders was carried out, and the data analyzed by SEM to identify how different solutions interact to affect the behavior of riders. Results show that education and training programs have the biggest effect on improving behavior of riders as they adapt to new city regulations such as zoning. Other aspects such as presence of customers, behavior of other road users, road environment were also explored. Currently, city authorities in some developing nations are looking to introduce spatial regulations such as zoning and traffic management strategies such as exclusive lanes. Therefore, the contribution of this study is a proposal of a combination of solutions that different road safety stakeholders in developing countries can contribute toward the sustainable improvement of the safety of riders.
