Traffic safety for children

It is very fun to see children grow up every day.
As the range of action expands as the child grows, the child goes out of the house. At that time, it is very dangerous if you do not have the habit of observing traffic rules. Observing traffic rules is the first step in contact with society. You cannot walk on the road with peace of mind unless you follow the traffic rules.
Here are some points that parents need to know to protect their children from traffic accidents.

The horizontal field of view is about 150 ° for adults, while infants (6 years old) are about 90 ° for children, and the vertical field of view is about 120 ° for adults, and only about 70 ° for infants. Also, since the height is low, even if the adult can be seen, it cannot be seen by the infant.

If your infant is on the other side of the road, you may suddenly run in, so never call out.

Don't scold yourself before you go out. Your feelings are upset and your actions become impulsive.

It is not enough to say and say in words such as "dangerous" or "be careful." In actual situations, it is important to repeatedly teach what is dangerous and why it is dangerous.

Children love to play with a little shadow or a car shadow. Be careful when you see them playing in the shadow of a car.

Children manage adult mane. First of all, adults should follow traffic rules and serve as a model for children.

As long as you raise your hand, you tend to think that the car will stop at any time.
When the signal turns blue, it tends to start running at a glance.

Infants and children in grades 1 and 2 of elementary school do not have the skills necessary for traffic safety, so they cannot expect correct judgments and safe actions in various traffic situations. Be sure to keep an eye on your children on the road.
Also, when walking on the road, adults should walk on the side of the road while holding the child's hand firmly.

(Note)
Infant traffic accidents are most common in "car riding", followed by "walking", accounting for the majority of these two. In addition, the most common causes of accidents during "walking" are "popping out".
Elementary school traffic accidents are "bicycled" most, followed by "walking", accounting for the majority of these two. In addition, the most common causes of accidents during "bicycle riding" are "violation of safe driving obligations", and the most common causes of "walking" are "popping out".

1 Walk along the sidewalk on roads with sidewalks.
2 On roads without sidewalks, walk on the right end of the road.

Crosswalk with traffic lights

1 When the traffic light turns "blue", raise your hand, look right, look left, look right again, and make sure that no car will come before crossing.

If you jump out immediately just because it turns blue, it is dangerous because there may be a car on the way.

2 When the "blue" signal is blinking, wait until the next "blue" is reached. If the "blue" signal starts blinking during the crossing, cross quickly. If you run in a hurry, you may fall and it is dangerous.

3 While waiting for crossing at an intersection, standing at the end of the sidewalk may cause you to get caught in a car turning left. Let's go one step down and wait.

Crosswalk without traffic lights
Raise one hand, look right, look left, look right, look right again, and make sure no car is coming before crossing.
Let's teach you to cross the pedestrian crossing even if it is a little far away on a road with many cars. Crossing the road diagonally is dangerous.
2 Crossing the road between parked cars or cars stopped due to traffic jams is not visible to cars running behind parking and stopping vehicles. It is also very dangerous because pedestrians cannot be seen from the car.

Do not play on the road, such as playing balls on the busy road of traffic or running on skateboards and roller shoes, as it can lead to traffic accidents.
[Reference]
Do not play, roller skating, or do similar activities on the busy roads of traffic. (Article 76, Paragraph 4, Item 3 of the Road Traffic Act)
Penalties: A fine of 50,000 yen or less (Article 120, Paragraph 1, Item 10 of the Road Traffic Act)

1 Bicycles pass on the left end of the road when running on the road, and on the road with a bicycle path, on the bicycle path.
2 You can pass on the roadside zone and the sidewalk with signs that you can pass on the bicycle sidewalk. (When children under the age of 13 or elderly people over the age of 70 drive, sidewalks can be passed.)
3 When crossing the road, if there is a bicycle crossing belt, always cross it. At the pedestrian crossing, you push a bicycle and cross it.
4 Always stop at the intersection with the "stop" sign, check the safety on the left and right before crossing. Follow the traffic lights at intersections with traffic lights. Be sure to stop once when you go out of a narrow road.
Bicycles have power at the beginning of rowing, so riders don't like stopping one by one, but bicycles are unrivaled vehicles. It is dangerous to ride in the same way as a pedestrian.
5 Be careful not to drive dangerously, such as two-seater and hand-off.
6 Turn on the lights at night and attach luminous reflectors.
