Introduction
Education is an effort to develop personality and human progress, both physical and moral, so
that education has an important role in a more useful and quality human life. Through education, a
nation can stand firmly in the midst of world globalization.
Traffic education is a demand for the public so that they are aware of traffic so as not to create
noise and thus minimize traffic accidents. To instill traffic awareness is the main task of the Police
in accordance with the mandate of Law no. 2 of 2002 concerning the National Police of the Republic

of Indonesia which is specifically clear in article 14 paragraph 1 letter c which states to develop the
community to increase community participation, community legal awareness and community
compliance with laws and regulations. A phenomenon that occurs in society, there are still many
people who are not aware of traffic, this can be seen from the increase in traffic accidents, illegal
racing, the emergence of traffic jams due to parking in random places even though prohibition signs
have been installed in those places, they do not understand how to transport vehicles what is good
and correct on the highway and others. Based on data from the North Sulawesi Regional Police's
Traffic Directorate, traffic violation data for 2022 saw an increase from the previous year, namely
2,402 received tickets and 12,991 received warnings, an increase of 14.89% from the previous year,
meanwhile for traffic accidents there was an increase of 14 cases or 28.57% from the previous year
with 14 deaths, 14 serious injuries and 72 minor injuries and other violations dominated by not using
helmets for two-wheeled vehicles with 3,974 cases followed by violations of documents and other
969 cases. Furthermore, in 2023, there will be 2,663 cases of traffic accidents resulting in 326 people
dying, 381 seriously injured, 3,382 lightly injured, which means an increase of 18.51% from the
previous year. From the above phenomenon, what needs to be seen is the lack of community
participation in terms of traffic awareness, driving skills and the nature of taking things lightly, not
wanting to be regulated and other factors. The point is to anticipate resolving this problem
phenomenon is a guidance service, if the guidance service runs effectively and efficiently then it is
hoped that in carrying out its function it will be a means of preparing future generations, whose
development of maturity will lead to improvements in traffic order that benefits all components and
elements of society towards a better future. This traffic education is something that is very urgent
and needs to be paid attention to and developed as best as possible. The integration of traffic
education has long been implemented in the world of education, but its implementation is still felt
to be lacking or weak in the formation of orderly behavior in traffic.This weakness can be seen from
the increasing number of traffic accidents involving school children and the number of traffic
violations committed by school children as well as the rise of motorbike gangs which also involve
school children. This is an example of the lack of orderly behavior in traffic.
Based on the description above, comprehensive and integrated traffic control activities are
needed, it is not enough just to enforce the law alone, but it is necessary to make efforts that are
supported by all components of the nation, there is an active role from the community in creating a
sense of awareness and discipline in carrying out activities on the highway. . This is in accordance
with the mandate of article 258 of Law no. 22 of 2009, that: the community is obliged to participate
in maintaining road facilities and infrastructure, developing traffic discipline and ethics and
participating in maintaining security, safety, order and smoothness of traffic and road transportation.
The integration of traffic education, apart from being integrated into intracurricular activities, is also
integrated into extracurricular activities.
As the number of motorized vehicles increases, the number of traffic violations and accidents
also increases (Marsaid and Ahsan, 2013). One of the traffic violations is caused by violating traffic
signs. To overcome traffic violations, it is necessary to educate the public about driving safety.
Traffic safety education can start from elementary school level. (Hapsari, 2012).
Looking at the current phenomenon of Indonesian people's behavior in traffic, it is necessary
to instill know (...truncated)
