A. Factors Contributing to Accidents. Research studies in the United
Kingdom have shown that human factors contribute to 95% of accidents,
road factors to about one quarter of a percent, and vehicle factors to fewer
than five percent.
1) Human errors include:
a. Going too fast or excessive speed;
Offline
b. Failing to give at junctions;
Activities c. Following too closely;
(e- d. Overtaking improperly;
Learning/ e. Misperceiving or misjudging the road situation ahead;
Self- f. Intoxication of alcohol or drug; and
Paced) g. Lack of skill
2) Road deficiencies that are main contributory factors are:
a. Poor design of layout and control at junctions;
b. Inadequate signing, road marking, and lighting;
c. Slippery roads; and
d. Obstruction on the road such as parked vehicle, on going road
construction, etc.
3) Main vehicle factors are:
a. Defects in tires, brakes, and lights;
b. Absence or non-using of seat belts; and
c. Poorly maintained motor vehicles.
B. The three (3) principles that have been emphasized as effective in
the prevention of traffic accidents are known, as the three (3) “Es” or
pillars of traffic. Recently, however, traffic environment and traffic economy
were added to compete the five (5) pillars of traffic.
1. Engineering (traffic engineering). Effective construction and
maintenance of traffic facilities which does not only expedite the
movement of traffic but also prevents the occurrence of traffic
accidents. Successful treatments have included:
a. Changes in layout at junctions to define priorities more
clearly (use of roundabouts, or traffic circles);
b. More wide use of road markings to delineate traffic lanes and
waiting areas for turning vehicles;
c. Improvements in skidding resistance of wet roads;
d. More uniform street lighting; and
e. More highly visible and legible direction, information, and warning
signs.

2. Education (in traffic safety). When road users are informed of the
traffic laws, rules and regulations, accidents are likely prevented.
