Abstract
Materials and methods The government budget documents from 5 ministries including Ministry of Transport, Education, Interior, Public Health and Royal Thai Police were reviewed. Two researchers identified budget used in road safety projects with 5-E strategies independently; the kappa analysis was used to test inter-rater reliability. Information from Thai Health Promotion Foundation and Road Safety Fund was also gathered using a developed excel-based template. Semi-structured interviews were conducted among road safety experts. Some mathematical and statistical analyses were applied to evaluate the efficiency of road safety policy.
Highlights
The objectives of the study were (1) to explore the pattern of public spending on road safety programmes corresponding to 5-E strategy, and (2) to investigate road safety policy directions

Despite insufficient data and evidence to clarify the outcomes of road safety policy and programmes, it is possible to conclude that (1) there is an underinvestment in road safety in Thailand and (2) the government allocates budget inappropriately
Summary
The objectives of the study were (1) to explore the pattern of public spending on road safety programmes corresponding to 5-E strategy, and (2) to investigate road safety policy directions
