Experiences of Traffic Enforcers in Navigating Road Safety and Discipline

Abstract This study explored the lived experiences of traffic enforcers in Davao City in navigating road safety and discipline. It aimed to examine their experiences in promoting road safety, identify the impact of challenges they encounter, and explore the coping strategies they use in handling non-compliance, risks, and confrontations. A phenomenological research design was employed to understand the participants’ personal experiences. Fourteen (14) traffic enforcers from the City Transport and Traffic Management Office (CTTMO) were selected through purposive sampling. Seven (7) participants took part in in-depth interviews, while seven (7) participated in a focus group discussion. Data were gathered using a validated semi-structured interview guide and analyzed through thematic analysis. Findings revealed that traffic enforcers’ experiences are characterized by active presence in traffic management, which contributes to accident prevention and improved traffic flow. However, they encounter non-compliant and aggressive motorists, hazardous working conditions, and environmental challenges. These factors result in physical strain, emotional stress, and exposure to negative public perception. Despite these difficulties, traffic enforcers develop discipline, self-control, and resilience. To cope, they practice emotional regulation, maintain professionalism, rely on family and faith for motivation, and utilize teamwork and communication with colleagues. This study provides a deeper understanding of the lived experiences of traffic enforcers and may help local government units, particularly the CTTMO, enhance policies, support systems, and working conditions while promoting public awareness of their role in ensuring road safety and discipline.
