Samenvatting
An outline is provided of the general pattern of accidents involving the 27.315 pedestrians aged 19 years and under injured in Great Britain in 1988. Recent research about the nature of accidents to young pedestrians and available countermeasures is reviewed. The implications of the research are discussed within the context of what change may be possible. Ranking of different types of location at which accidents to young pedestrians are common indicates that great benefits may be obtained from treating minor roads in small urban areas. Recommendations for action are proposed.
