More than 6,000 children aged up to 14 died between 2011 and 2020 in road collisions in the European Union, reveals a new report by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC).
Roads around childcare facilities and in urban areas with lots of cyclists and pedestrians should be designed for 30 km/h (20mph) and low volume traffic, says the report.
