Child Pedestrian Safety Part 2 Of 3
There are some noticeable patterns to when and where and how child pedestrian accidents occur.
- Urban areas have twice the rate of traffic-related pedestrians deaths as rural areas
- Accidents are most likely to happen between the hours of 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. when children are traveling from school and playing. (It was recently calculated that 43 percent of fatal child pedestrian accidents occurred between these dangerous hours.
)
Collisions with child pedestrians most often happen when:
- The child darts out.
- A vehicle turns into the path of a child.
- A child is hidden from view by an ice cream truck.
- A child is hidden from view by a bus and the driver does not stop.
- Vehicles are backing up in roadways, driveways or parking lots.
