Traffic accidents are known as one of the leading causes of mortality among teenagers and young adults in Vietnam. Specifically, the risky road behavior lead to 6.2 per cent of killed and injured persons are youth aged between 0 and 18 years. While children injured or killed when walking or travelling as passengers in motorcycles are a serious concern in Vietnam, it is obviously that road users perceive on traffic safety for children is one of the most significant factors affecting accident reduction. The proper application of traffic management measures at school areas needs to be recognized as one of the most com-mon and vital ways to improve traffic safety for children.
