“…Fukawa et al [6] conducted an experimental study of parents' recognition of their children's ability to make street-crossing judgments and found that parents had insufficient appreciation of the fact that their children's misjudgment rate increased in the presence of high-speed vehicles. Inagaki et al [7][8][9][10], who focused on pedestrian accidents involving children that occurred when they were crossing the street, conducted experiments to determine the effects of differences in vehicle distance and speed on the ability of elementary school children to make street-crossing judgments, as well as the timing of vehicle perception on children's street-crossing judgments. Their results showed that, compared to adults, elementary school children have more difficulty judging vehicle speed and that a shorter perceived distance induces misjudgments.…”

In Japan, where the birthrate continues to decline, various initiatives are underway to promote traffic safety for children. Although these efforts have helped reduce the number of traffic accidents involving children, an examination of the circumstances under which children were killed or injured in traffic accidents in recent years shows that accidents in which children were riding bicycles accounted for the highest percentage of accidents. We investigated the relationship between the ages of children involved in traffic accidents and violations of traffic laws using traffic accident statistics maintained by the Ishikawa Prefectural Police Headquarters. These records revealed that 16-year-olds were most likely to be involved in traffic accidents. Our analysis of the violations of laws and ordinances with respect to the ages of bicyclists involved in car accidents at intersections found that, of all the age categories, elementary school students had the lowest rate of accidents with no violations and the highest rate of accidents involving a failure to stop. Junior and senior high school students had lower rates of accidents involving a failure to stop than elementary school students. Moreover, at non-intersections, driving safety violations were notably higher for accidents involving bicycling elementary school students than for those in other age groups.
