Belinda,
I came across an intriguing approach using a desktop virtual reality (VR)
program that was designed to educate and train children to safely cross
intersections. Its effectiveness was reported in the following citation:

McComas J, MacKay M, Pivik J. Effectiveness of Virtual Reality for Teaching
Pedestrian Safety. CyberPsychology & Behaviour Vol.5, No.3, 2002.

I was wondering if anyone can assist with some ideas for a child pedestrian
safety project focussing on parents and caregivers of children aged 5-10
years.  Key messages include adult supervision needed.  Are there any
successful models that can act as a starting point?  Thanks.
