It is already understood that road users have differences in capability and limitations in driving their cars and motorcycles. Most studies regarding variability and safety concerns related to road users’ driving behaviors, however, are based on data from developed countries. It is argued that there are differences in characteristics and consequences of road accidents in developed and developing cities due to the impacts of the different composition of traffic, road users’ attitudes and driving behaviors, vehicle type and size, regulations, and types of violations. This study aims to investigate the factors underlying traffic violation behaviors and the types of traffic violations committed by young motorcyclists on urban roads in Indonesia. Data were gathered using a questionnaire survey in three major cities. Structural equation modelling was performed to analyze the significant factors influencing young motorcyclists with regard to committing traffic violations, including analysis of the causal relationship between the influencing factors, the characteristics of young motorcyclists, and the types of violations. The analyses found that young motorcyclists were influenced by different magnitudes of influencing factors in violating traffic regulations compared to more mature motorcyclists. This highlights the need to design a specialized behavioral change policy to reduce traffic violations among young motorcyclists.
