Abstract
The situation of the child as pedestrian in traffic is a sad matter. From the registered victims of pedestrian accidents during 1971 in Rotterdam, 50% is 0-14 years old. In this report id tried by means of available data to show possible regularities in the accident pattern. It is shown that children of 0-14 years old have relative four times more accidents as pedestrian of older children. In this age there are twice more male than female victims. Schooldays have a higher risk for these children and most of these accidents occur from 16.00-18.00 hour.
