Abstract

The main cause of road accidents in outside of cities is the driver's lack of awareness about road safety. Efforts to reduce these accidents can be done if the characteristics and causes are known. The purpose of this study was to determine the characteristics of road accidents in three areas in Riau province. Analysis used a descriptive quantitative analysis.
