Background of the Study
Road safety is a critical public health concern, particularly in Nigeria, where road traffic accidents are a leading cause of mortality. In Jama’are Local Government Area (LGA) of Bauchi State, road safety awareness campaigns are essential for reducing accidents and promoting safe driving habits. Advertising serves as a powerful tool to disseminate road safety messages, using visual and audio media to educate drivers and pedestrians on safe practices.
Studies by Yusuf and Bello (2023) emphasize that targeted road safety advertisements, including billboard campaigns and radio jingles, significantly enhance public awareness and compliance with traffic laws. This study investigates the effectiveness of advertising in promoting road safety awareness in Jama’are LGA, focusing on messaging, reach, and behavior change.
