Samenvatting
Pedestrian accident rates, are as we know, higher for children than they are for teenagers or for adults; behaviour is generally considered to be the primary factor. Is it not possible to change children's behaviour to make it more reliable? Can education deeply change the behavioral variables interacting in the pedestrian's behaviour? Are those variables or such a nature to be changed by education? The results clearly pointed out that children concentrate their scanning points on the crossing area itself, while adults' visual scanning also embraces the whole of other areas where visual supervision has to be undertaken.
