THE ROLE OF SPEED AND ITS IMPACT ON TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS. A FIELD STUDY IN BATNA PROVINCE
Abstract
Traffic accidents are among the most prominent contemporary issues that hinder the path of development and progress in societies, due to the significant human and economic losses they cause. This problem is particularly evident in developing countries. This scientific paper aims to study the various factors and dimensions leading to traffic accidents, in addition to analyzing their psychological, social, and economic impacts. It will also address the causes of excessive speeding while driving, based on the results of a field study conducted in the province of Batna during September 2024. Finally, the necessary measures to ensure drivers' compliance with legal speed limits will be discussed.
