Abstract
The view of children's road safety problems and schools' teaching of road safety must be widened. The decisive factor in children's safety is how road traffic is organised where they reside and are mobile. The ability of children to deal with traffic on their own cannot be developed faster than their maturity allows. Hence, the most important measures for their road safety relate to the traffic environment and the regulation of motor traffic, so that children do not come into contact with such traffic as, in terms of maturity, they are no equipped to deal with.
