Abstract : Traffic management is a crucial aspect of urban development, ensuring the safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians. This study examines the level of perception of stakeholders regarding the effectiveness of the Traffic Management Unit (TMU) in Ozamiz City. Using correlational design quantitative approach, the research evaluates stakeholders’ awareness, satisfaction, and overall assessment of the TMU's functions, including traffic regulation enforcement, congestion mitigation, and road safety promotion. Data were collected primarily through surveys involving key stakeholders, such as motorists, pedestrians, local business owners, and government officials. The findings reveal varying levels of perception influenced by factors such as communication effectiveness, enforcement consistency, and stakeholder engagement. While many stakeholders acknowledge improvements in traffic flow and safety, some expressed concerns about gaps in policy implementation and responsiveness to emerging traffic challenges. Based on the results, recommendations are proposed to enhance the TMU's performance and strengthen collaboration with the community. This study highlights the importance of stakeholder feedback in creating an adaptive and effective traffic management system.

Keywords : Traffic Management, Safe, Stakeholders.
