The high number of traffic accidents in the country shows that there are many problems in the country's traffic management. However, many people are willing to cooperate and participate in solving traffic problems, so it was necessary to conduct a study that shows the acceptance of traffic experts in attracting people's participation in traffic management. In this study, by identifying the methods used in other countries to attract public participation, a survey was designed to examine the opinion of 44 traffic police officers on the possibility of attracting public participation for law enforcing the violating drivers and making the making the roads more safe. The results of this study showed that traffic police officers generally agree with public participation in enforcing the law of violating drivers, although they consider it necessary to equip people with equipment to document violations. Police officers also agree with public participation in safe making the roads. Due to the agreement of traffic police officers with the participation of the public, traffic-related institutions can attract and organize volunteers and reliable people to participate in traffic management. These individuals must be equipped with equipment to document violations to participate in law enforcement of violating drivers.

Sixty percent of motorcyclist fatalities in traffic accidents of Iran are due to head injuries, but helmet-use is low, despite it being a legal requirement. This study used face-to-face interviews to investigate the factors associated with helmet-use among motorcycle riders in Mashhad city, the second largest city in Iran. PCA and CFA were used for data reduction and identification of consistent features of the data. Ordered and multinomial logit analysis were applied to quantify the influences on helmet user. According to the statements of motorcyclist,s rate of helmet-use is 47 percent, but in 14 percent of cases helmets were not used properly. In addition, 5 percent of motorcyclists believed in malicious impact of helmets on their safety. Duration of daily trips with motorcycle, riding experience and type of job were affecting helmet-use behavior.

60 percent of motorcyclist fatalities in traffic accidents of Iran are due to head injuries. Using motorcycle safety helmet is the main solution to prevent probable head injuries of motorcycle riders. Although، helmet-use law approved in Iran 12 years ago، the prevalence of helmet-use among motorcyclists remains low. This study investigates factors associated with helmet-use among motorcycle riders of Mashhad city based on data collected through face-to-face interviews. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for data reduction and identification of behavioral factors. Ordered and multinomial logit were applied to statistically describe helmet-use as a non-deterministic behavior. According to the statements of motorcyclists، rate of helmet-use is 47 percent، but in 14 percent of cases helmets were not used properly. In addition، 5 percent of motorcyclists believed in malicious impact of helmets on their safety. Norms، attitude toward helmet-use، risky traffic behavior and awareness of traffic rules were found to be the key determinants of helmet-use، while no appropriate significance was found for perception of enforcement strictness. Duration of daily trips with motorcycle، riding experience and type of job were affecting helmet-use. Results indicate that training and cultural programs to improve social norms and attitudes toward the use of motorcycle helmets beside effective law enforcement techniques possibly increase proper use of helmets between Iranian motorcyclists. In addition، special safety courses should be approved for motorcyclists who have committed traffic violations.
