An international study of the exposure of children to traffic
Children ages 6 and 9 years and their parents were surveyed regarding journeys to and from school in Melbourne and Perth (Australia), Montreal (Canada), Auckland (New Zealand), Umea (Sweden) and Baltimore (USA). 13,423 responses revealed large international differences. The children in Australasia mainly travel to school by car, compared with children in other countries who walk and bicycle more frequently. The exposure to risk for child pedestrians in traffic thus varies greatly from country to country.
