Abstract:

Every day, children and their parents walk or ride their bicycles to school. However, busy roads can mean the difference between being able to walk or ride a bike to school or needing to ride in a car. Children face unique limitations when crossing roads. Because of their small body size and developing minds, they often have difficulty detecting and judging speed and safe gaps in traffic. Speed management is key near schools, parks, and other settings with large numbers of children. Slower speeds give motorists more time to react. Road Diets can improve roadway conditions near areas children frequent, like schools and parks. In these locations, safety can be drastically improved for motorists by calming traffic and improving the line of sight for children and drivers alike.
