Traffic accidents remain a serious issue in the field of transportation. The high number of accidents is often attributed to risky driving behavior, which not only endangers the driver but also other road users and the surrounding environment. In Palangka Raya alone, 303 traffic accident cases were recorded throughout 2024. This study aims to identify behavioral factors contributing to traffic accidents, determine the most dominant factor, and evaluate the extent of the influence of driver behavior on accident occurrence. The research employs multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS. Based on the analysis, driver behavior variables are categorized into four factors: compliance, personality, skills, and knowledge. The most dominant driver behavior identified was “Frequently driving at high speed (60–70 km/h)..

The study concludes that driver behavior significantly contributes to traffic accidents in Palangka Raya.Key behavioral factors include compliance, personality, skills, and knowledge.High-speed riding (60–70 km/h) emerged as the most dominant risk factor.The research highlights the importance of behavioral interventions, focusing on speed control, distraction management, and safety awareness to improve road safety.

Future research should explore the impact of specific road infrastructure designs on rider behavior and accident rates, particularly focusing on the correlation between road geometry, signage clarity, and speeding tendencies. Additionally, investigating the effectiveness of targeted interventions, such as virtual reality-based training programs simulating hazardous riding scenarios, could provide valuable insights into improving rider skills and risk perception. Finally, a longitudinal study tracking the behavioral changes of motorcyclists following the implementation of stricter traffic enforcement policies and public awareness campaigns is needed to assess the long-term impact of these measures on reducing accident rates and promoting a safer riding culture. These studies should consider the socio-economic backgrounds of riders and the influence of peer groups on risky behaviors, aiming to develop more comprehensive and culturally sensitive safety strategies.
