A Study on the Effect of Motorcycle Traffic Safety Workshop for High School and University Students in Phnom Penh, Cambodia

In Cambodia, motorcycle use have spread rapidly in recent years, and serious accidents involving motorcycles have increased. In particular, many young motorcyclists have been involved in traffic accidents, and various issues in traffic safety are remained. To understand the current situations related to these issues in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, a video observation survey on driving situations of motorcycle users in high school and university were conducted. Based on the results, a traffic safety workshop was held to improve their risk perception ability and basic riding skills. In this study, a statistical analysis was conducted to compare driving behavior on arterial roads before and after the workshop. The results showed that some behavioral changes are considered to be effects of the traffic safety workshop, and especially, driving skill learning is thought to have had an effect on aggressive behavior and the risk perception training on defensive behavior.
