Abstract: Traffic accidents are predicted to be the leading cause of death in the world by 2030. Exceeding the speed limit is dangerous and can worsen road safety; reducing speed can mitigate this risk. The study aims to investigate the mediating role of self-control that predicts the relationship between safety attitudes and family climate in improving driving compliance behavior among millennial drivers. The population in the study consisted of young millennial drivers in DKI Jakarta Province. The study's total sample was 300 drivers who understood the speed limit regulations, and the analysis utilized the SEM method with Smart PLS. The study found that family attitudes and climate require self-control in driving to encourage successful enforcement of speed limit regulations. Self-control in driving plays a significant role in improving speed limit compliance behavior. Safety attitudes and family climate can indirectly influence speed limit compliance behavior among millennial drivers, and self-control in driving influences speed limit compliance behavior: safety attitudes and family climate influence self-control in driving. Safety attitudes and family climate towards speed limit compliance behavior are mediated (complementary) by self-control in driving. The conclusion is that self-control in driving can bridge the gap in research results regarding safety attitudes toward speed limit compliance behavior among millennial drivers. The recommendations from the research results are expected to enhance millennial drivers' speed limit compliance behavior. Road safety policies must implement road safety promotions, campaigns, and socialization focusing on safety attitudes, family climate, and driver self-control.
