67. Child

A child is a young person who requires particular care and protection in road traffic because of their smaller size, limited experience and developing ability to recognise traffic hazards. Children may participate in traffic as pedestrians, cyclists or passengers in vehicles.

Drivers should take extra care when children are present or may reasonably be expected, particularly near schools, playgrounds, residential areas and pedestrian crossings.

Why are children particularly vulnerable in traffic?

Children may have more difficulty judging vehicle speed, distance and traffic situations and are less visible to drivers because of their smaller size.

How should drivers behave when children are near the road?

Drivers should reduce speed when necessary, remain especially alert and be prepared to stop if a child enters or approaches the roadway.

How should children travel in a car?

Children should use an appropriate child restraint or seat belt according to their size, age and the applicable national rules.
