Abstract | This study examines the mobility and road safety of primary school-aged children in Hong Kong (aged 5-12). Data was obtained from four partnered primary schools in Hong Kong. A total of 827 students participated. The survey had four parts: physiological measurements; computer-based road-crossing simulation; questionnaire (for parents) and neuropsychological testing. This study ties together children’s mobility with the results of the computer-based road-crossing simulation, in finding the associated factors for hazardous road crossing decisions in children. Potential individual factors of road-crossing decision-making examined include travel behaviour, cognitive ability and relevant socio-demographic characteristics. Altered traffic conditions in each scenario were also examined as associated factors affecting road-crossing decision-making. These above factors were significant in the general estimating equations models constructed. The findings may be useful for policymakers to plan for and regulate neighbourhoods that are safe for children. |
