This report supports policy recommendations in the accompanying policy statement "Child Pedestrian Safety" (www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2023-62506). It reviews trends in public health and urban design relevant to pedestrian safety and provides information to assist practicing pediatricians discussing the benefits of active transportation and the specific risks and safety precautions to consider for child pedestrians at different ages. The report offers the evidence base for which programs and policies that, if implemented, could foster independent mobility for children while increasing pediatric pedestrian safety. Since the previous policy statement was published in 2009, the field of pedestrian safety has advanced with new evidence related to pediatric pedestrian education, the risks of distracted walking, the benefits of design and programming in safe routes to school, and the emergence of the "Vision Zero" public health and safety initiatives to prevent all serious and fatal transportation injuries.
本报告支持随附的政策声明“儿童行人安全”(www.pediatrics.org/cgi/doi/10.1542/peds.2023-62506)中的政策建议。它审查了与行人安全相关的公共卫生和城市设计趋势，并提供了信息，以协助执业儿科医生讨论积极交通的好处，以及不同年龄的儿童行人应考虑的具体风险和安全预防措施。本报告为各项计划和政策提供了证据基础，如果这些计划和政策得到实施，将有助于培养儿童的独立出行能力，同时提高儿童行人的安全性。自 2009 年发布上一份政策声明以来，行人安全领域取得了新的进展，涉及儿童行人教育、分心行走的风险、安全路线上学计划和设计的好处，以及“零愿景”公共卫生和安全举措的出现，以防止所有严重和致命的交通伤害。
