✦ Synopsis

Through a detailed analysis of accident records of the previous three years, it was observed that young children (6-7 yr of age) were overrepresented in pedestrian accidents in Alabama. In the Fall of 1978, the Alabama Office of Highway and Traffic Safety in conjunction with the state education department, initiated pedestrian safety programs in the four cities of Birmingham, Montgomery, Mobile, and Huntsville. Analysis of the monthly number of pedestrian accidents in these four cities indicated that a statistically significant reduction in pedestrian accidents for the 6-7 yr age group occurred following implementation of the education safety program. Further, it was estimated that approximately 40 accidents were prevented during the evaluation period as a result of the program's effectiveness.
