Descrição: This paper analyses traffic safety problems concerning children and adolescents. It proposes a programme aimed at preventing traffic accidents, including measures related to urban aspects and to traffic education, engineering and enforcement. The programme proposed aims at preventing pedestrian accidents and includes a traffic accident data system, the checking of all pedestrian routes and main crossings, with special attention to traffic lights, traffic education actions, blackspot treatment, remedial measures directed to pavements, enforcement and rescue services with medical care for the injured. The analyses focusing on traffic education practice in Brazil have indicated that it will not promote changes in users' behaviour. Therefore, the article suggests the basis of a new approach.
