Road Safety of Highway Traffic System of Halsema Highway

Traffic accidents happen all the time. It’s a situation that can happen in any transportation network, including the one in the study area, where safety steps aren’t good enough. The study then looked at how safe the roads are on the Halsema Highway in the Philippines. In particular, it found out what the main reasons are for traffic accidents along Halsema Highway and how well safety standards are being followed. The goal is to come up with ways to lessen the bad effects of land transportation traffic accidents. A questionnaire checklist was the main tool used to collect data, with human interviews and observation also being used. T-tests and both quantitative and qualitative study methods were used to look at the data that was collected. The results show that mistakes made by people are the main reason why cars crash on the Halsema Highway. There is a high level of compliance with road safety standards (2.63) and traffic engineering (2.56), but only a modest level of compliance with traffic signs (2.46). Right now, it’s clear that some Halsema Highway drivers don’t care about safety. On the other hand, there are some issues and concerns that need to be addressed when it comes to road safety standards, especially when it comes to traffic signs that aren’t big enough.

Abstract

Traffic accidents happen all the time. It’s a situation that can happen in any transportation network, including the one in the study area, where safety steps aren’t good enough. The study then looked at how safe the roads are on the Halsema Highway in the Philippines. In particular, it found out what the main reasons are for traffic accidents along Halsema Highway and how well safety standards are being followed. The goal is to come up with ways to lessen the bad effects of land transportation traffic accidents. A questionnaire checklist was the main tool used to collect data, with human interviews and observation also being used. T-tests and both quantitative and qualitative study methods were used to look at the data that was collected. The results show that mistakes made by people are the main reason why cars crash on the Halsema Highway. There is a high level of compliance with road safety standards (2.63) and traffic engineering (2.56), but only a modest level of compliance with traffic signs (2.46). Right now, it’s clear that some Halsema Highway drivers don’t care about safety. On the other hand, there are some issues and concerns that need to be addressed when it comes to road safety standards, especially when it comes to traffic signs that aren’t big enough.
