Abstract
Abstract. The main characteristic of economically advanced societies is the densification of movements both within and outside different countries. People and goods' movements go hand in hand with the necessity for security. The issue of road safety revolves around the fight against road accidents. It involves combining the necessary resources to prevent traffic accidents or mitigate their consequences if they still occur. This research is based on the following central question: what is the level of impact of risk objectification on anomic attitudes regarding road safety among intercity public transport drivers in Cameroon? It examines the development of the social representation of risk among drivers to highlight the underlying mental posture that leads to deviant behaviors on the road.
Keywords. Anomic attitudes; Objectification; Risk; Economic impact.
