Among European countries, child pedestrian fatalities are highest in the United Kingdom, and cycling is increasing there as an environmentally friendly yet hazardous form of transportation.

Finally, we were able to propose reasons and solutions to the Borough to increase safety, and eventually, vulnerable road user numbers.
