Road safety of children in the Netherlands
In comparison with other age groups, relatively few children of up to 14 years old are killed in traffic in the Netherlands. In addition, childrens' safety has increased considerably during the last few years. A lot more older children (12-14 years old) are killed than younger ones. The reason for this is that older children cycle a lot more. That is why it is important that road safety policy pays extra attention to the safety of cycling children. It is also in the interest of residential areas to relentlessly continue striving for slower driving speeds.
