ENEducating, informing and teaching are one of the strategies of traffic safety (Elvik et all., 1996). Traffic environment changes together with the process of automobilization. As the statistics of traffic incidents shows society adaptation to changes is not successful enough. The family is the main educational institution, but, by researches in some European countries, family influence on a child’s behavior on the rodi is frequently negative. The goal of this research was to find out family opportunities effectively developing children’s competence in traffic safety and competence limiting factors. The participants of this research - primary pupils’ parents, pupils, teachers, adult pedestrians having children and not having on roads. The methods of the research: interviews, questionnaires for parents, teachers, pedestrians’ observation (video shooting). 1581 person participated: 282 primary school children’s parents (majority of them women – 77,2%), 46 drivers. 280 primary school teachers, 246 primary schoolchildren were interviewed (56,9% girls, 43,1% boys), the behaviour of 773 pedestrians was fixed.The following conclusions were made: 1) presently the family is not prepared to develop effectively the competence of young generation as pedestrians in traffic safety. The negative factors of the development of pedestrians’ competence in traffic safety in the family is: parents’ low competence, their dangerous behavior on the roads, children's negative attitude to their parents as teachers of traffic safety. 2) Drivers’ qualification and their experience driving a car does not guarantee pedestrians’ traffic safety. 3) As an opportunity to assess pedestrians’ competence in traffic safety more adequately could be helping parents not only to develop their competence, but also control their behavior on the roads while walking with children. 4) It is necessary to develop pedestrians’ competence in traffic safety not only by formal education but also in the family. For this purpose it is necessary to create conditions for parents to feel lack of pedestrians’ competence in traffic safety suggesting changes in their behavior on the roads while walking with children.
