Children's Safety Village, Tampa, Florida, 1966
Add to SetSummary
Tampa's "Safety Village" was a unique experiment in preventive safety for children. Long before they were old enough to ask for the keys to the family car, these children practiced traffic safety by driving small electric-powered cars on child-sized streets. Hopefully, they would remember these lessons a few years later, as teens at the wheel of their own cars.
