- <p>Road accidents continue to occur, and reducing accidents remains a challenge. The investigation of<br>road accidents is important for developing effective strategies to reduce their occurrence. The purpose of<br>the study is to assess the overall safety of the roadway in Barangay Layac, Dinalupihan, Bataan. The<br>researchers used accident data reports for the years 2020–2023. In this research, a survey was conducted<br>among 371 respondents, including road users and traffic officers, to determine the most significant factors<br>causing road accidents. The researchers considered 33 factors, and they were divided into three groups:<br>human factors, vehicle factors, and environmental factors. Using the relative index importance, it was<br>found that environmental factors such as road traffic, malfunctioning traffic lights, a lack of traffic signs,<br>poor road markings, and a lack of road barriers are the top five significant factors that cause accidents.<br>Furthermore, a site observation was then conducted to assess the top five environmental factors. Lastly,<br>the researchers conducted interviews with traffic officers regarding the safety of the road. The researchers<br>proposed preventive measures to keep the road safe in Barangay Layac. </p>
