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. This study was done to identify the characteristics of traffic accidents occurred from 2014 to 2019 on the connection road between 3 cities in Riau, namely in the Kuantan Singingi, Kampar and Rokan Hulu areas of Riau Province, Indonesia.

The percentage of total deaths on traffic accidents reached 60%. Meanwhile, 75.6% of traffic accident victims were injured, with the most accidents occurring on flat and straight roads. The types of vehicles that are often involved are motorcycle, which occur from 06.00 to 11.59 pm.
