Abstract

The concept of road safety is considered critical to transportation networks, as it involves ensuring the safe arrival at one's destination without physical harm or functional loss. The MacArthur Highway in the Philippines is an essential national road, and this study aimed to determine the correlation of factors that affected road traffic accidents on this highway. A mixed-method research design, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data, was employed to analyze the correlation of factors that contributed to road traffic accidents and collision types in Barangay Sampaloc, Apalit, Pampanga using Multinomial Logistic Regression analysis. The study identified various factors, such as driver age, sex, alcohol use, weather conditions, vehicle type, road lane width, and condition, which were significant predictors of road accidents. The research highlighted the importance of engineering strategies that focus on road visibility and adequate lane width, as well as targeted education campaigns and driver education programs, which can help prevent accidents. The study recommended the implementation of sobriety checkpoints, improvements in road visibility, and the provision of real-time updates on weather and road conditions to reduce the likelihood of accidents. By taking a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach that focuses on engineering strategies, education, and policy implementation, it may be possible to reduce the frequency and severity of road traffic accidents on the MacArthur Highway. It is recommended that local authorities continue conducting research to identify other contributing factors to road accidents. Regular road safety audits should also be carried out to address any potential hazards on the road. With this approach, road safety can be improved, and the number of accidents can be reduced, leading to a safer and more efficient transportation system.
