Every day around the world, the lives of more than 2000 families are torn apart by the loss of a child to an unintentional injury or accident that could have been prevented5 . The grief that these families suffer – mothers, fathers, siblings, grandparents and friends – is immeasurable. For India, with a population of 548 million children under the age of 18 years6, road safety becomes a high-priority. However, despite the fact that children use roads as pedestrians, cyclists, pillion-riders, vehicle passengers, etc., the road environment is rarely developed to consider their needs.
A study by NIMHANS India reported that about 2% of injured children were likely to become permanently disabled. The study indicated a strong association between road injuries among children, mode of travel, and distance to school.9 With one of the highest shares in road crash deaths all over the world, children in India are exposed to the risk of road crashes on multiple occasions.
