Abstract
In the Netherlands about two and a half million children are going each day to school as pedestrian, as cyclist or as moped- rider. It is important to remember that these children are forced by the society to go to school and the society has therefore the responsibility for the safe journey to school. Traffic education could be concentrated around the route to school which is a more or less common experience of the children. The traffic education on school should be done together with the parents help. A combined attention for the safe route to school can be a valuable contribution.
