As pedestrians, children have a number of limitations. Their field of vision is narrower: it can be up to 40% narrower than an adult's when they walk between parked vehicles. They have hearing limitations: under the age of 7 they cannot tell where a vehicle is coming from by its sound. Their control of attention is poor. They do not know the rules: they do not know all the signs or how to behave correctly. For all these reasons it is very important to take extra care around children.
