Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study focused on the effectiveness of the traffic ordinances implemented in the municipality of Bindoy, Negros Oriental. This study utilized the descriptive-correlational research design. 118 respondents participated in the study through simple random sampling. The researcher used two (2) sets of validated instruments. The data showed that illegal parking is significant in ensuring the safety of pedestrians (0.02. Illegal Stopping is significant for minimizing traffic accidents (0.00), ensuring the safety of pedestrians (0.03), and decreasing noise pollution brought by modified mufflers (0.03). Mufflers are significant to increasing numbers of documented vehicles (0.03). The Prohibited Zone is significant in increasing the number of documented vehicles (0.03). Obstruction is significant in decreasing noise pollution brought by modified mufflers (0.04). Hitching is significant for ensuring the safety of pedestrians (0.01), increasing the number of licensed drivers (0.01), and promoting discipline to motorists (0.03). Defective Headlights are significant in decreasing noise pollution brought by modified mufflers (0.01). It has been highly recommended to craft a Traffic Management Master Plan to sustain the good perception of the people and to make enhancements on some parts that need to be taken into consideration for the improvement of the Traffic Management Unit and the people that they are serving.
