Abstract

The continual increase of avoidable road traffic accidents, injuries, fatalities has generated a massive loss of human resources, property damages and economy of the country of Vietnam. The study of National Road Traffic Safety Master Plan until 2020 has been completed this year which can be considered as the significant threshold of the development and improvement of human resources, quality of life and social welfare of Vietnamese citizens. In this study along with other proposed strategic countermeasures, traffic safety culture development is proposed to the Government of Vietnam in hoping that with cooperation among all agencies concerned and community participation this would help sustainably changing road users from high risk-taking behavior to proper and law-abiding behavior. This paper also presents the results of a community- based pilot study of traffic safety culture activity on Safe-Route-To-School Program of Tan Truong Commune, Cam Giang District, Hai Duong Province, Vietnam.
