TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Parental safeguarding children from road traffic: A global issue JO - World transport policy and practice A1 - McLaren, Arlene Tigar A1 - Parusel, Sylvia SP - 25 EP - 34 VL - 18 IS - 3 N2 - This paper examines parental traffic safeguarding experiences in a high-income country where the automobility system is well established, and explores how international traffic safety discourses that seek to prevent child death and injury in low- and middle-income countries have turned to western parental models of responsibility and blame. These practices and discourses, which are vital foundations to automobility, take their toll on parents (especially mothers) and children. Our analysis suggests that for the sake of parents and children in countries around the world, land and transportation planners need to develop alternative designs to auto domination.
