Abstract

Thailand continues to have one of the highest road traffic fatality rates globally, creating significant public health and economic challenges. This study examines road traffic crash trends in Thailand from 2017 to 2023, with a focus on the high involvement of motorcycles in fatal crashes, the demographics of victims, and the timing of incidents. The analysis highlights critical areas for intervention, including stricter enforcement of traffic laws, targeted measures for young motorcycle riders, and improvements in road infrastructure. Additionally, the study identifies shortcomings in current data collection methods that limit the effectiveness of safety policies. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates technological advancements, legislative reforms, and public education to reduce crashes and enhance road safety in Thailand.
