This qualitative content analysis aimed to explore non-compliance with traffic laws and its perceived contribution to road traffic crashes in Yazd, with particular emphasis on motorcycling, from the perspectives of stakeholders. Conventional qualitative content analysis of semi-structured in-depth interviews with 14 purposively sampled participants identified three main themes: (1) operational policies, including deficient urban infrastructure (such as narrow streets and lack of pedestrian facilities) and weak law enforcement; (2) human factors, such as low compliance culture, personality traits (including impatience and thrill-seeking), and residency-related differences; and (3) educational challenges, particularly inadequate initial and periodic driver training. Participants emphasized that these interacting elements, especially poor infrastructure and insufficient enforcement (notably toward motorcyclists), substantially increase crash risk in this setting.
Ghavami et al. (2026) studied this question.
