What do you have to reckon with when children are waiting at traffic lights?

Children at traffic lights can behave unpredictably for several reasons. First, they may start moving as soon as the light changes from green to amber, attempting to cross quickly before the light turns red since they might not fully grasp the timing like adults do. Second, some children may run even when the light is still red because they find waiting difficult and may act impulsively. Third, children often interact with each other physically, sometimes pushing or jostling, which can unintentionally cause one to step onto the roadway unexpectedly. Therefore, drivers must be especially cautious and prepared to stop or slow down when children are present at traffic lights to ensure safety.
