ABSTRACT

Foreign motorcyclists are prone to greater risks than the locals in most countries worldwide [1]. Risk parameters identified include lack of knowledge of traffic regulations, inadequate driving skills, different seasons, and general attitudes towards traffic safety reflected in driving behavior [2]. Along with tourism development, the number of foreign motorcyclists also increases. Therefore, safety measures are essential [3]. In this research, by using data collected from 71 foreign motorcyclists as respondents, we study the influence of local road and traffic conditions, human factors, and local law enforcement on the behavior of foreign motorcyclists around tourist areas in Bali. The method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The expected contribution is a model that finds how local law enforcement affects foreign motorcyclists' behavior around tourist areas in Bali, which can significantly reduce the risk of accidents for foreigners. The results are that local law enforcement can act as a moderating effect of human factors on the behavior of foreign motorcyclists with a P-value of 0.008. Foreign motorcyclists' behavior in tourist areas is also directly affected by their behavior in their origin country, with a P-value of 0.035. But local law enforcement cannot act as a moderating effect of local road and traffic conditions on the behavior of foreign motorcyclists with a P-value of 0.441. The research concluded that foreign motorcyclists' behavior in Bali tourist areas is positively influenced by the local law enforcement by authorized officials. It shows that the more stringent enforcement of the law, the better the behavior of foreign motorcyclists. And better conduct of foreign motorcyclists can reduce the number of accidents involving foreigners in the tourist areas in Bali.
