    travel but the productivity of an individual as well.
    TRAFFIC SAFETY EDUCATION

    It is the process of training road users in the avoidance and


    prevention of traffic-related accidents.

    It is already identified that one if not the major causes of the


    traffic accidents is HUMAN FACTORS. This can be corrected by
    traffic safety education.

    ROAD SAFETY – It refers to the reduced risk of accident or injury


    on the roads.
    FACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO
    ACCIDENTS

    1. HUMAN ERRORS
