Abstract

The increasing incidence of traffic accidents and road violations has drawn renewed attention to the effectiveness of traffic law enforcement and its influence on road-user perceptions. This study investigated the level of traffic law enforcement implementation effectiveness and its relationship with public utility drivers’ satisfaction in Oroquieta City. A quantitative, descriptive–correlational research design was employed to examine how drivers assess enforcement policies, officer presence, violation enforcement, and public awareness initiatives, as well as how these assessments relate to their overall satisfaction. Data were gathered from 321 registered public utility drivers selected through an appropriate sampling procedure to ensure representativeness. A structured survey questionnaire was utilized, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation analysis.
