| dc.description.abstract | The traffic accident situation it! the Philippines is a serious social problem. More and more lives are lost each year and the costs are rising to alarming levels. An inquiry into the traffic accidents in the country and the government polices to address this dilemma is now necessary as all of us are in one way or another affected by the problem. The study looked at the three main factors behind traffic accidents. This was followed by a discussion of the local and international efforts used in accident prevention and promoting road safety. A comprehensive map of the local and national traffic accident situation was provided for the years I990 - I 996, based on traffic accident data obtained from the Traffic Management Command of the Philippine National Police. It was found that in recent years, there was an abrupt increase in the frequency of motor vehicle accidents. Most of these increases are accounted for by accidents that resulted in damage to property, but the death toll is alarming as well. The paper ends by presenting recommendations for improving the current traffic safety program of the country through the use of methods such as the safety inventory, which describes the inventory of the policies, procedures and management in the sectors of road safety. | |
