Abstract

The mobility problems of the elderly are seen as going beyond the scope of traffic safety. The elderly are the fastest growing deprived group. As both pedestrians and drivers they are the object of the prejudices of a society preoccupied with speed. The solution to the problem of safety for pedestrians of all ages lies in city planning and traffic engineering whereby the pedestrian and the traffic could be separated in space rather than just in time.
