INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Having a driver’s license is one of the most important thing that a driver must have

because it is a proof that he does not only know how to run vehicles but also understand road and

traffic related issues and concern. Different processes; just like taking exam, receiving a license

require someone to undergo driving test. The exam taken by the drivers mostly focused on

knowledge in traffic rules and regulation which involves meaning of different road signages.

Despite passing the exam as evident by the acquisition of the license, many of the drivers were

found out to not know some road signages and worse of all not following them.

Nowadays traffic and road accidents are not of the problems facing by the Philippines.

Life and infrastructure are destroyed because of vehicle-related accidents; time and opportunity

are wasted and messed. These add to slowing the progress of the country. Traffic enforcers always

encounter drivers who are not following road signages. For example the sign is one way but drivers

does counterflow. And also when they saw a sign that which says “no-parking” they still park on

the place where the sign is located at.

The town of Silang is not spared by unruly drivers. It is often observed that many of

the drivers are not following traffic rules. Road signages are often ignored, some of the rules in

the town are designated as one way and got soon are seen to be counterflowing. There are also

some intances of double parking that cause too much traffic. With these observation, the

proponents decided to conduct study to find out how much do drivers understand road signages

and him offer do why disobey these signages.


STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The main objective of this study is to the knowledge and obeying of road signages and reasons

for not obeying them. This following questions would be answered in the research study:

1. How much do the drivers in Silang know road signages?

2. How religiously do they follow road signages?

3. What situation lead the drivers to not following road signages?

4. Is there a correlation between the knowledge and obeying of road signages?


SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This study is important to everyone. Knowing different reasons why drivers disobeying

road signages. This will help and benefit the drivers, passengers and traffic inforcer.

DRIVERS

They will try hard to study and learn about the road signages for them to be able to cope

up and help them to be safe. As much as they wanted to benefit in driving aside from that they also

need to be know all the driving industry, meaning all the things that are connected to driving just

like these road signages

COMMUNITY

As much as they wanted to be safe and sound while commuting, they also need to know

all those signages for them to be aware. Even if its not their responsibility to know and study

signages they must atleast know for not being dependent on the driver.

LAW ENFORCEMENT

One of the many duties of law enforcement is to keep the road safe. However they can’t be

in one place every now and then. They indicated so1me signages that will help them to make their

work easier but still doing their job. If the drivers are aware of the road signages it will be easier

for the reinforcement less hassle, and less accidents.


SCOPE AND DELIMINATION

This proposal focuses only on chosen jeepney drivers of Silang, Cavite. This study will

determine how many of the different road signages are understood and disobey by the drivers. It

will look into the reasons of different drivers disobey. It will discuss the reasons of different drivers

their being disobident in terms of road signages.

This study aims to suggest ways on how to lessen the drivers who are disobeying the road

signages and also to lessen the drivers who are being punished.

This proposal will only interview those drivers which have the same route only jeepney

drivers who travels from Tagaytay to Silang and vice versa and who’s regularly drive.

This study is not limited to the available driver during the scheduled data gathering.
CHAPTER II
RELATED REVIEW LITERATURE

Importance of Following and Understanding

Understanding these signs by road users is of prime importance for efficient and safe traffic

operations. Clarifying the correlation between the understanding of traffic signs and driver

characteristics will yield to recommendations and help in identifying proper countermeasures to

enhance the communities knowledge of traffic signs and consequently improve traffic safety level.

(Ghadban,, Abdella & Al – Khalifa, 2018) . By knowing the road signs will help people to be

safe.But every people have different understanding and the charactericts. To have more knowledge

about traffic signs and improve safety.

Level of Understanding

Based on a total on a total of 1,478 urban drivers in Turkey, it was found that many traffic

signs were not known well by the drivers. In particular, only 12 signs were identified correctly by

70% or more of the participants. In the related study we need hope.(Kirmizioglu & Tuydes-

Yaman) Many people don’t know what are the road signs. And sometimes it will fail to identify.

Dewar et. al. (1994) Found that older drivers had generally lower levels of comprehension

than younger drivers. All people will become old. That’s why if the driver is 65 years old and

above will change particular in the brain. It will affect the memories and comprehension.
Disobeying Road sign

One in five of the 1,094 UK drivers surveyed admitted breaking the law, especially if they

think no one is looking. (Telegraph ) . Many drivers are attempting violations when they think that

they are alone in the road. That’s why there are some cases of accidents involving of Jeepney

drivers.

The reasons for contravening traffic regulations are many and varied. We all have our own

reasons for doing so, which involve a complex interplay betweem our personality and the

circumstances we’re faced with.( Dr. Jamson, 2016) Sometimes drivers have valid reason on why

they violate some road signs. Including emergencies and other rush activities. And it will cause to

break some traffic rules.

Those who have held their license for a time may become complacent, not least because,

thankfully, accidents are relatively rare. (Dr. Jamson, 2016) Drivers are not afraid because many

people have driver license. And the thinking that they are allowed to violate some rules. But it is

illegal.

In the study, the importance of following and understanding the road signs will help you in

many ways. Not only for the knowledge but also on the safety. There are difference of level on

how they understand the signs that’s why many people are disobeying the road signs.
