Purpose: The purpose of this research is profound and vital: to seek to understand the relationship between road safety management and preventive culture in the face of traffic accidents, focused on the city of Chachapoyas, Peru. Theoretical Framework: Sheds light on an alarming panorama worldwide. Deficiencies in road safety management, evidenced in areas such as infrastructure, vehicle condition, victim care and in institutional management itself, are an urgent call for attention. The current preventive culture leaves much to be desired, with measures that, although present, do not achieve the expected effectiveness. Drivers show negligent attitudes, vehicles have technical deficiencies and factors such as driving under the influence of substances aggravate the problem. Design / Methodology / Approach: applied research was chosen. The structure of this study was based on a non-experimental cross-sectional correlational design. The sample was carefully selected, composed of 61 workers of the transit regulatory agency. Results: The results were not encouraging. It was found that road safety management is rated at a worrying 71% at an inadequate level. At the same time, accident prevention culture reached 69% in the same category. Statistical indicators, such as Kendall's Tau-b and Spearman's Rho, support the relevance of these results. Research, practical and societal implications: Research is even more exciting when considering the impact of technology on road safety and driver psychology. How do safety systems adapt and evolve? What is the driver's reaction to these innovations? From a more human perspective, understanding driver motivations and attitudes is vital for future interventions. The practical and societal implications of this study are enormous. It highlights the imperative need to review our institutions and regulations. It is not enough to establish policies; their effective implementation must be ensured. At the same time, it shows the importance of educational campaigns, infrastructure improvement and a rigorous review of vehicle regulations. Originality / Value: The originality and value of this study lies in its focus on Chachapoyas, Peru, an analysis that, despite its geographic specificity, may offer valuable insights for other regions. The combination of technological and psychological aspects of road safety presents a rich and promising avenue of research.

In this work, the factors involved in the incidence of vehicular accidents during the period 2017-2022 in the province of Pichincha, Ecuador, were studied with the purpose of identifying the most influential variables in traffic accidents. From the methodological point of view, an analytical and descriptive research approach was adopted. The methodological process started with an exploratory study based on data provided by the National Traffic Agency (ANT), which records the accidents that occurred from January 2017, to December 2022. For the statistical analysis of the data, a free software tool was used. After carrying out an exhaustive analysis, it was concluded that there is no significant variation by month or by time slot in the incidence of accidents. The primary cause identified was speeding, followed by disregarding traffic signals, with the third cause being picking up and dropping off passengers in unauthorized areas. Additionally, it was observed that the canton of Quito had a higher implication in terms of accident frequency. Throughout the study period, a decrease in the incidence of accidents was noted until 2020. However, an upturn in the trend was observed in 2021, although 14 fewer accidents were recorded in 2022 compared to 2021. The completion of this study is crucial as understanding the causes of accidents enables the implementation of measures to enhance road safety, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and safeguarding lives. Identifying the underlying causes of accidents can contribute significantly to preventing injuries and fatalities.
