Recently, traffic safety education has been recognized as a useful method to reduce accidents especially for lower grade elementary school students. The objective of this research is to investigate how children remember and how parents remind children to obey traffic rules effectively by traffic safety education at a primary school in an urban area of China. In January and February 2024, we organized seminars for a total of 181 students of first and third grade in the Second Primary School in Weihai City, Shandong Province, China. Before and after the seminar, questionnaires were conducted for the students to collect data on their attitude toward and knowledge about traffic safety, and travel behavior in their daily lives. Also, we asked the students' parents to answer some questions about current situation of traffic safety education and six licenses of children's independent mobility (CIM) allowed to their children. All the students of first and third grade were randomly divided into two groups, which were educated by two different teaching methods. It was found that the interactive teaching was more effective for students to remember how to comply with traffic rules than one-way teaching especially for first grade. By analyzing data combining students' and parents' questionnaires, we identified that the level of students' traffic safety awareness was affected by how much parents educate their children which depends on educational background of parents.
