The Club
Below are the main points of research showing how The Children’s Traffic Club can help its members to develop safe habits:
- Reduces the number of children who:
- play in the street
- run across the road
- Increases the number of children who:
- hold their carer's hand when outside
- always stop when told
- are careful when crossing driveways
- walk on the inside of the pavement
- stop at the kerb before crossing
- look and listen for traffic before crossing
- recognise safer places to cross
- Gives children knowledge of how to cross a road safely
It was also found that Traffic Club members:
- had 12% fewer overall road accidents than non-members
- had 4% fewer accidents when walking
- had 20% fewer accidents as a result of being hidden by a vehicle while crossing
