  ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of safety education intervention on knowledge of road traffic accident prevention among drivers in Lagos State, Nigeria. This study adopted a pre-test and post-test quasi-experimental research design. A purposive sampling technique was adopted to select a total of 384 commercial drivers in Lagos State, to whom the questionnaires were served. Questionnaires were administered and retrieved before the safety training was conducted, and post-test was conducted thereafter. A response rate of 87.76% was obtained for 384 questionnaires distributed to drivers. Descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson Correlation were carried out. Mean score of 2.50 was used as a criterion to accept or reject results. The results indicate that safety education had a positive impact on the knowledge of preventive measures for road traffic accident. It is recommended amongst others that; further measures should be developed to educate and enlighten commercial drivers on how they can comfortably avoid Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs).
