More than 60 child pedestrians are killed or seriously injured every week. Children often misjudge the speed and intentions of drivers.
They are easily distracted, and may dash into the road without looking
Nearly half of all pedestrians killed are aged over 60.
Older people may have difficulties in seeing or hearing approaching traffic, and may have decreased mobility

How you can help pedestrians
... Give them time and room to cross, especially the elderly or disabled. Your speed can literally make the
difference between life or death
Remember, they may be hard to see, especially children
Be ready for the unexpected
Don't park on pavements
Stop at zebra crossings if someone is waiting to cross
You must stop for School Crossing Patrols
Never wave a pedestrian across the road - there may be other traffic overtaking from behind you
