This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of women traffic enforcers in Santiago City as perceived by the drivers. The researcher used a self-made survey instrument to gather the data and used purposive sampling in selecting the respondents of the study. To obtain specific responses and avoid a neutral option, a four-point Likert scale was used in this study. Frequency and percent were used in the profile of the respondents and weighted mean was used to measure the effectiveness of the women traffic enforcers in implementing traffic rules and regulations. Based on the findings of the study, the majority of the respondents are under 41 years old and above, married, high school graduates, and have 11-20 years of driving experience.
