Abstract EN
Road crashes are a major cause of death in many countries.
Qatar has been battling to improve road safety on several fronts using different strategies, including road policing.
The purpose of this study is to ascertain drivers’ perceptions towards five existing and four proposed police traffic enforcement strategies and associated penalties and rewards in Qatar using face-to-face surveys.
The results show that red-light running cameras were perceived to be the most successful existing strategy.
The high violation fine and the automation of the system were mentioned as the main reasons for making this strategy the most successful.
Three of the existing strategies, fixed-speed enforcement cameras, police enforcement, and mobile speed cameras, were conferred almost the same success percentage, followed by the demerit point system.
Regarding the proposed strategies, rewarding safe drivers was selected by the participants as the most successful proposed strategy, followed by introducing more automated enforcement methods.
Community service for traffic tickets came in third, followed by defensive driving school.
These results can be used to influence future enhancements of existing strategies and guide the development of future traffic strategies being introduced in the traffic system.
