Abstract

The purpose of this research is to 1) examine road safety management in the Roi Et Highway District, 2) review guidelines for resolving and avoiding road issues in the Roi Et Highway District, and 3) investigate road safety management guidelines in the Roi Et Highway District. This research appliesa combination of quantitative and qualitative methods. The research sampled 400 drivers of automobiles on Roi Et Province's roadways, with only Roi Et Province-registered vehicles. Six senior supervisors at the Roi Et provincial level involved in road maintenance or traffic were significant informants for the in-depth interview.

The survey discovered that the public's perception of the variables influencing the Roi Et Highway District's road safety management is that the agency always inspects and fixes damaged roads to keep them in a good condition. For guidance on establishing safety management systems to address road safety concerns: 1) Engineers wish to upgrade the road layout to a "Smart Road" with automated warning lights and to raise the road standards. 2) In terms of education, public relations, and involvement, the public should promote their  knowledge and change driving behaviors for safety awareness. 3) Law enforcement should be vigorously enforced by providing public education on the law and  enforcement in order to effectively enhance the discipline of road driving. 4) Training should be conducted to ensure that the emergency medical system in Roi Et Province has the necessary knowledge and capabilities. Moreover, the local service team should have a first aid unit on site and the number of rescuers should be proportionate to the size of the hospital in order to give servicesinstantaneously. 5) Assessment and information systems should include an intensivemethod for assessing local safety supervision. Information exchange across departments and a real-time system should be operated at the area and also provincial levels.
