Safe Travel Behavior as a Requirement for Minimizing Accidents in The Suburbs: A Conceptual Review

Changes in travel behavior for commuters living in the suburbs have a lot of disadvantages and consequences, such as unsafe travel behavior. This paper reviews the literature on the connection between roadway safety and travel behavior on the suburban highway networks. Through a systematic synthesis of peer-reviewed studies, this review evaluates key exposure variables including transportation mode, road conditions, traffic conditions, land use patterns, socio-economic factors, and trip attributes. This review analyzes the resilience of reflective indicators of safe travel behavior. Evidence shows that low-density urban forms increase dependence on motorcycles, travel distances, congestion, and accident severity. These insights inform suburban planning and the design of safety-oriented policies.
