Child safety on the road update (1996-1998).

This issue of Current Topics includes over 62 abstracts of reports, conference papers, books and journal articles which focus on road safety training, education and research on accident prevention among children using the road, in many different countries. Specific topics include publicity for parents of pre-school children; methods for teaching schoolchildren, improving safety on the journey to school, whether by bus, cycling or walking; encouraging the use of cycle helmets, and the study of road traffic accidents involving children. These items have been selected from the material added to the Transport Research Laboratory's Library Database between 1996 and 1998. Much of the relevant English language published literature from the UK, USA, Australia and Europe is included; some of the non-UK literature is included courtesy of the OECD International Road Research Documentation (IRRD) database.
