  2. Parents want to keep their children safe at all times. This is particularly true when a child will be in and around the roadway. Unfortunately, pedestrian accidents are a regular occurrence and often happen due to inattentive drivers.

  3. The Dangers To Children Are Real Last reporting year in the Commonwealth, there were more than 2,000 total pedestrian crashes. Out of these, there were 54 fatalities and 2,029 total injuries reported. When people look at the statistics provided by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, they can see that many of these injuries happened to children under the age of 18.

  4. Top Pedestrian Safety Tips For Children Pedestrian accident prevention is the best way to keep children safe in and around the roadway. 02 Teach children to put the distractions away when they are near the roadway. This is particularly important for children who have cell phones or other electronic devices. If children have headphones in their ears, they may not hear an approaching vehicle. 01 Ensure you teach kids at an early age to look left, right, and left again before they cross the street. Teach kids to continue looking around them until they are safely across the street.

  5. 04 03 Make sure that children know it is safer to walk on sidewalks or paths if they are available. Children should walk facing traffic as far to the left as possible if there are no sidewalks. Teach children that they also need to watch out for vehicles backing out of driveways and parking spaces. When a driver is backing up, they may have trouble seeing children behind them. 05 Eye contact is important. Teach your child to never assume a driver sees them when attempting to cross the street. Make sure they know to make eye contact with the driver and wait until the driver acknowledges them.
