Training crossing guards effectively improved children's street-crossing safety. Comprehensive training, including role-playing, significantly boosted pedestrian behavior in young students.

Area of Science:

  • Childhood Education
  • Public Health
  • Traffic Safety

Background:

  • Pedestrian safety is crucial for young children.
  • Existing training programs require effective delivery methods.
  • Crossing guards play a key role in child pedestrian safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a pedestrian safety training program for crossing guards.
  • To assess the impact of trained guards on children's street-crossing behavior.
  • To determine the essential components of effective guard training.

Main Methods:

  • A previously developed pedestrian safety program was implemented.
  • Adult crossing guards received videotape and role-playing training.
  • Trained observers monitored guard instruction quality and child behavior.

  • A multiple-baseline analysis assessed training effects on two streets.

    • Main Results:

    • Crossing guards demonstrated high competence in delivering the training.
    • Children's appropriate street-crossing behavior increased significantly post-training.
    • Training effects were observed on both trained and untrained streets.
    • Partial training components ('show and tell' or written instructions alone) were insufficient.

    Conclusions:

    • Comprehensive training is essential for effective pedestrian safety instruction by crossing guards.
    • Trained crossing guards can significantly improve children's street-crossing behaviors.
    • The full training package, including practical application, is necessary for sustained positive outcomes.
