Most pedestrian accidents involving **children** occur at the **end of the school day**. This is due to several factors:

- **Visibility and attention**: Children are shorter than adults, making it difficult for drivers to see them clearly. Additionally, children tend to pay less attention to the road and do not have a good understanding of traffic rules, which increases the risk of accidents when they leave school.

- **Risky times**: During the day, accidents are more common during work entry and exit hours, and similarly, children are more vulnerable when leaving school, when there is more traffic and movement on the streets.

- **Necessary precautions**: To avoid accidents, it is important for drivers to reduce speed and pay special attention in areas near schools, especially at the end of the school day. Children should cross at pedestrian crossings and wait on the sidewalk before crossing.

These combined factors make the time at the end of the school day especially critical for the safety of children on public roads.
