1. Introduction to Traffic Safety and Cognitive Development
Traffic safety education plays a vital role in enhancing our decision-making skills by teaching individuals to recognize hazards, judge distances, and react promptly. These skills are not isolated; they are closely linked to everyday cognitive functions such as attention, perception, and problem-solving. For example, learning to navigate busy intersections safely encourages the brain to process visual cues efficiently and make split-second decisions, skills that are transferable beyond driving.
