Abstract :
This study aimed to assess the implementation
of traffic ordinances in Vigan City for calendar year
2023. The populations of the study were the 42 traffic
enforcers, 102 drivers and 93 commuters with a total of
237 respondents. It employed the correlational method
of research to analyze the relationship between the
assessment of the extent of implementation of traffic
ordinances as assessed by the traffic enforcer-
respondents, motorists and commuters relative to
education, enforcement, engineering, environment and
economy. The following statistical tools was used in the
study, frequency and percentage which were used to
describe the profile of the traffic enforcer-respondents.
The weighted mean is used to describe the extent of the
implementation of traffic ordinances by using the three-
point scale and F-test or the analysis of variance to
determine the significant differences of the three groups
of respondents in terms of the dimension’s education,
enforcement, engineering, environment and economy.
The following are the salient findings of the study:
1) on the profile of the traffic enforcer-respondents most
of them belong to the age bracket of 35-39 (30.95%),
male (40 or 95.24%), married (38 or 90.48%), college
graduate (41 or 97.62%) and having a gross monthly
income of 5,001-10,000 (35 or 83.33%). 2) The weighted
mean and the descriptive interpretation of the three
respondents in the extent of implementation of traffic
ordinances in terms of the five dimensions, the traffic
enforcers rated all dimension as “always” with
Environment and Economy garnering the highest of 2.96
and Engineering is the lowest. Furthermore, the Drivers
rated as “always” the four Dimensions. The highest in on
economy with a mean of 2.55 while education received
the lowest mean of 1.96 which was describe as
“sometimes”. Moreover, there are three dimensions
assessed as “always” and two rated as “sometimes” by
the commuters.
In light of the findings, the following conclusion was
drawn: The 5 E’s of traffic namely: Education,
Enforcement, Engineering, Environment and Economy
are important factors to consider in the maintenance of
order and safety in any thoroughfare as revealed by the
assessment of the respondents. Improper observance and
non-implementation of such goals lead to the congestion
and traffic jam in a compact city like Vigan.
The researcher therefore recommends the
following: 1) there must be quarterly trainings or
seminars conducted to the traffic enforcers, drivers, and
road users by the City Government of Vigan. 2) There
must be a plan for widening of roads within the City to
lessen the traffic jam or traffic congestion. 3) Proposed
action plan should be strictly implemented. 4) A follow-
up study should be conducted to include other
dimensions not covered by the present study. And 5)
Speed limit should be strictly implemented.
