Analysis on Students’ Awareness on Traffic Rules and Regulations in one University of the Northern Philippines

The number of student motorists in one higher education institution in the Philippines is rising. In this regard, this study assessed their knowledge of road signs and regulations. Results are hoped to be used as bases for information dissemination in such a university. Hence, this descriptive research gathered data from 120 student motorists enrolled in the College of Information Technology, College of Technology and School of Business Administration. The study found out that student motorists have least knowledge on “warning signs.” Also, profile variables of the respondents such as age, gender, civil status, year level, and ethnicity are significantly related to regulatory, warning and informative signs. A comprehensive information dissemination campaign may be considered. Keywords: road signs, traffic signs, regulatory signs, warning signs, informative signs
