Several U.S. cities have curfew ordinances that limit the late night activities of minor teenagers in public places including highways. Detroit, Cleveland, and Columbus, which have curfew ordinances, were compared to Cincinnati, which does not have such an ordinance. The curfew ordinances were associated with a 23% reduction in motor vehicle related injury for 13- to 17-year-olds as passengers, drivers, pedestrians, or bicyclists during the curfew hours. It was concluded that city curfew ordinances, like the statewide driving curfews studied in other states, can reduce motor vehicle injury to teenagers during the particularly hazardous late night hours.
美国有几个城市制定了宵禁条例，限制未成年人深夜在包括高速公路在内的公共场所活动。将有宵禁条例的底特律、克利夫兰和哥伦布与没有此类条例的辛辛那提进行了比较。宵禁条例使13至17岁的青少年在宵禁时间作为乘客、司机、行人或骑自行车的人时，与机动车相关的伤害减少了23%。得出的结论是，城市宵禁条例与其他州研究的全州范围驾驶宵禁一样，在特别危险的深夜时段可以减少青少年的机动车伤害。
