This issue of Current Topics includes over 80 abstracts of reports, conference papers, books and journal articles which focus on road traffic safety education for road users such as child pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, elderly drivers and elderly pedestrians. While some abstracts have been included on driver education, the subject of driver training is covered more fully in CT77. Specific subjects covered here include the place of road safety education in the school curriculum; safety education of children, parents and the community; the operation and assessment of safety awareness campaigns, training initiatives and intervention programs for traffic offenders. These items have been selected from the material added to the Transport Research Laboratory's Library Database between 1995 and 1998. Much of the relevant English language published literature from the UK, USA, Australia and Europe is included; some of the non-UK literature is included courtesy of the OECD International Road Research Documentation (IRRD) database.
