全国及び大阪の子どもの交通事故状況の2003年から2021年間の変化を諸統計から分析し、交通安全教育上の重点項目を確認した。この期間死傷者数は約3分の1に減少した。変化のない状況として、1)幼児と小学生による歩行中、2)小中学生による自転車乗車中死傷者割合の高さがあり、3)自転車乗車中事故における無信号交差点での出会頭事故と4)歩行中の飛び出し道路横断事故がある。しかし変化の大きかったことには、1)事故発生地点の自宅からの遠距離化と子どもの法令違反割合の減少がある。都道府県や大阪府市町村区間の子どもの人口当たりの事故件数はすべての行政区において一様に減少しているが、人口当たりの事故件数の行政区間の順位には変化が少なかった。

The changes in road traffic accident situations that involved children in Japan in general and Osaka in particular between 2003 and 2021 were analyzed using various statistics to determine the key elements of road safety education. The number of road traffic accident causalities among children had reduced by approximately one third during this period under study. During this period, a high percentage of accidents involving children were caused by accident situations involving the following: 1) elementary school child pedestrians and preschool child pedestrians, 2) elementary and junior high school students riding bicycles, 3) collisions between vehicles and bicycles ridden by children at non-signalized intersections, and 4) sudden road crossing by child pedestrians. However, two accident scenarios changed during the period under study, namely 1) the distance between the accident site and child's home increased, and 2) the percentage of law violations by children that led to road traffic accidents decreased. Although the number of accidents per capita of each administrative districts in Japan has decreased, only a slight change has occurred in the ranking of the number of accidents per capita of each administrative district.
