| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines Highway Code awareness among commercial motorcyclists in Nigeria. The study uses data generated from commercial motorcycle operators in Samaru, Zaria in Nigeria and; employed the logistic regression model to evaluate Highway Code awareness. It was found that about 41% of the operators are not aware of the existence of the booklet containing the Highway Code. The odds of Highway Code awareness increased with licence holding and experience but decrease with union membership and crash involvement. The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and Vehicle Licensing Office should enforce the requirements of theory and practical tests often based on the Highway Code to increase awareness and; organized seminars and training for the operators in partnership with the Motorcycle Union using the local language. | en_US |
