child pedestrian

Pedestrian safety specific to children: child crossing behavior, immature gap acceptance and hazard perception, darting from between vehicles, school-zone and residential safety, and developmental limits on traffic judgment. It narrows pedestrian_behavior_perception to the child population and its distinct cognitive and physical characteristics. It is about children on foot, not children as occupants, and not cyclists, e-scooter riders, or the driver's side of the encounter (driver_vru_interaction).
