Undertaking this research was crucial due to Lebanon′s traffic accident rates, exceeding those of many developed nations by a significant margin. It explores the impact of road complexity, demographic attributes, socioeconomic status, and vehicle characteristics on self-reported driving speeds. Additionally, the study examines how road complexity influences seatbelt usage and handheld cellphone use. Participants from Saint Joseph University of Beirut, representing the diverse Lebanese population, were asked to complete an extensive survey for the study. These participants assessed five different driving scenarios with varying road complexities. Employing multiple linear and ordinal logistic regression analyses, the study found that Lebanese drivers reduce speed with increasing road complexity, although their perception of complexity does not always align with objective measures, particularly in the highest complexity levels. Driving habits also influenced driving behaviors, with shorter distances correlating with lower speeds. Crucially, higher road complexity led to increased cellphone use but did not significantly affect seatbelt usage. In light of these observations, this approach illuminates how Lebanese drivers modify their speed and safety procedures in response to changing road conditions, providing valuable data for developing effective road safety strategies that take into account Lebanon′s particular driving environment.
