Abstract

Findings are presented of a two-year (1976 and 1977) field test of the safety-effectiveness of the Model Ice Cream Truck Ordinance (MICTO), a legal countermeasure designed to prevent child-pedestrian accidents from occurring near ice cream trucks. Among other things, the MICTO requires motorists to stop before passing an ice creamtruck displaying the special swing arm and flashing lights which must be actuated when the truck is stopped to vend.
