The purpose of this study is to examine patterns used in traffic and promote safe behaviors. Methods: In this overview, databases including PubMed, Medline, Since Direct, SID and Google scholar were searched using the keywords pedestrians, drivers, riders, traffic, safe behaviors, models Health promotion, health education, intervention and behavior change among the articles published in last 10 years. Results: After the final review of the retrieved articles, 36 studies based on health promotion models (Both interventional and non-interventional) were included which was 18 for Iran. The most used model was the theory of planned behavior (25 cases) and then the health belief model (5 cases). In this study, the target group was 19 drivers, 3 were motorcyclists and 14 were pedestrians. In driving studies, more health education models have been used to utilize seat belts and distraction factors and health education models were used more often in motorcyclists to use helmets and pedestrians in relation to safe behaviors. Conclusion: If health education and health promotion models are used effectively to change behavior, it is possible to reduce crashes and create safe behaviors for all road users.
