Abstract:

The development of the economy must be strategically reflected in the transportation infrastructure. Traffic issues will arise as the economy expands, which will impede that expansion. Even if the government does its part to solve the issue, citizens still have problems. The study investigated how Davao City residents perceived current traffic-related issues and their detrimental effects. The study used a quantitative approach with a descriptive research methodology. The study selected 75 residents of Davao City who have encountered traffic issues using purposive sampling. Frequency distribution and percentages were used to assess the data that had been gathered. The results indicated that unlawful parking of vehicles and high volumes of vehicles on the road were ranked first and second on the list of existing problems; in the same way, delay and time wastage were the respondents’ dominant adverse effects. Thus, the study concludes that multi-level car parking must be added as a strategic solution to the ongoing problem. Moreover, the researchers suggest a multi-level car parking plan considering all vital parts that help potential and existing entrepreneurs to start this kind of business as soon as possible.
