The purpose of this study was to identify and evaluate the pedestrian accident risk associated with play activities performed in and near the street, as well as other situational characteristics, and to develop accident countermeasures emphasizing supervision and guidance. The primary focus of the study was on pre-school children, but early school age children were also studied. Behavioral observation of children at play on/near the street was conducted in five U.S. cities. Several risk measures were evaluated by comparing magnitude of risk values derived from the observation data for various play activities against the frequency of pedestrian accidents involving these play activities. A plan for evaluating the countermeasures and implementation model was developed.
