Abstract

Traffic safety is a critical public health issue worldwide, with substantial variations in accident rates and outcomes across regions. These differences are not solely attributable to infrastructure or enforcement but are deeply influenced by cultural norms and societal attitudes toward road use, risk, and regulation. This paper explores the intersection of traffic safety, culture, and measurement, emphasizing the need for culturally informed safety strategies.
