Abstract

This article aims to help people in traffic to implement good road traffic safety law, cultural behavior when participating in traffic and bring safety and happiness for themselves and their families. This article aims to assess the current status of community-based road safety law education for secondary school students in Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province, Vietnam. Research results show that the community-based awareness-raising activities on road traffic safety for students have been implemented, but there have not been many new, innovative and effective activities. Therefore, there is a need for breakthrough measures, with the linkage between families, schools and communities such as: (1) raising resources to ensure the education of the sense of compliance with road traffic law among secondary school students in Tuy Hoa City, Phu Yen Province based on the community; (2) developing a traffic safety propaganda campaign in association with the organization of the 'Youth Festival and Culture of Transportation' and organizing contests on the road traffic safety law; (3) promoting volunteerism and youth activities to ensure traffic order and safety, replicating models, works and jobs of students participating in ensuring traffic order and safety, and educating union members who violate traffic safety.
