Abstract

This paper introduces a collection of six detailed studies dealing with various aspects of the traffic education of young children, between 4 and 8 years of age. Young children run disproportionate risks because their developmental possibilities and skills are limited. Yet they can perform reasonably well in certain types of traffic tasks. Also they can be taught in ways that will improve both their perception and choice of safe situations and their behavior in such situations.
