Publication: ICTE 2013: Safety, Speediness, Intelligence, Low-Carbon, Innovation

Abstract

To provide better traffic safety education for migrant workers, this paper conducted a research on traffic behavior of migrant workers. A questionnaire survey to investigate their characteristics and status of traffic behavior was held in Jiangsu Province. By using method of descriptive statistics, crosstab analysis, and chi-square test, it is found that migrant workers have unsafe traffic behavior. Their behavior of not running a red light accounted for 80.1%, while taking the zebra crossing accounted for 65.0%. There were 71.1% of them who wear helmets when riding motorcycles and 84.6% of them look left and right when crossing the road. The results indicate that migrant workers have significant difference in age (p-value<0.05) in aspects of four kinds of traffic behavior mentioned above, while they are not significantly different in gender and district (p-value>0.05). Therefore, it is necessary to conduct targeted traffic safety education for migrant workers according to their different characteristics of traffic behavior.
