Children and the elderly are the groups of pedestrians most at risk of traffic accidents. This is because both groups may have difficulties in correctly assessing traffic and reacting in time to dangerous situations. Children, for their part, can be impulsive and are not always aware of the dangers on the road. The elderly, on the other hand, may have physical or cognitive limitations that affect their ability to move quickly or judge the speed of vehicles.

For these reasons, it is crucial that both pedestrians and drivers take additional precautions to avoid accidents. Pedestrians should cross at pedestrian crossings and wait for the traffic light to be green, while drivers should drive at a moderate speed and be especially attentive in areas where there are children and the elderly.
