Abstract
This study examined the challenges faced by traffic enforcers in implementing traffic rules among non-compliant road users. Ten enforcers were interviewed using semi-structured methods, and data were analyzed with Moustakas' thematic approach. Six themes emerged: Resistance and Lack of Discipline among Road Users; Operational and Systemic Enforcement Challenges; Professionalism, Patience, and Respectful Communication; Enforcement through Citations and Penalties; Strengthening Traffic Education and Awareness Campaigns; and Consistent and Fair Enforcement of Traffic Regulations. Despite facing resistance, limited resources, and emotional stress, enforcers maintain discipline through patience and professionalism. The results emphasize that effective enforcement requires a balance of firm penalties, ongoing education, and fair implementation. To improve compliance, traffic agencies should enhance institutional support, training, technology use, and public awareness efforts.
Keywords: compliance, law enforcement, resistance, road discipline, traffic enforcers
