The cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) was the method used to evaluate the policy involved in road safety; Drunk-Driving Law, Helmet Use Law, and Seat Belt Use Law. The data contained costs and the amount of road traffic deaths between 2012 and 2017 were collected. The evaluating results of the road safety policy were as follows: (1) the drunk-driving law was effective in reducing fatalities caused by all types of motor vehicles accidents including motorcycles and bicycles; (2) the seat-belt use law was also effective in reducing the number of motor vehicle traffic fatalities; and (3) the helmet use law was considered ineffective, which was insignificant in terms of effort. The policy recommendation was a reduction in the number of deaths leading to the realization that the behavior of riders needed to be focused on safety education for motorcyclists and law enforcement.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Thailand and The World Economy}, author={Chantith, Chaturaphat and Kosalakorn Permpoonwiwat, Chompoonuh and Fowles, Richard}, year={2021}, month={Jun.}, pages={1–17} }
