Abstract

Traffic accidents remain a major global concern due to their contribution to high rates of injuries, fatalities, and economic losses. Pacitan Regency, characterized by its winding and hilly roads, experiences a particularly high frequency of accidents, especially in designated accident-prone areas. This study aims to analyze the contributing factors of traffic accidents in Pacitan using the Haddon Matrix approach, which examines human, vehicle, and environmental factors across three phases: pre-crash, crash, and post-crash. The findings reveal that driver misconduct, such as traffic violations and the neglect of safety measures, is the leading cause. Poor vehicle maintenance and inadequate road infrastructure also significantly increase accident risks. The Haddon Matrix proves effective in identifying targeted interventions at each phase, highlighting the need for infrastructure improvements, stricter law enforcement, and enhanced traffic safety education. Recommendations based on the 3E principles—Engineering, Enforcement, and Education—are proposed to offer a comprehensive strategy for reducing accidents and improving road safety. Strong collaboration between government agencies, local communities, and relevant stakeholders is essential to build a sustainable road safety system in Pacitan Regency.
