From the author: La securite routiere constitue une question d’interet public tres discutee, et ses pratiques fortement debattues exigent une analyse sociologique et l’attention systematique des politiques publiques. Dans cette etude, les auteurs analysent les programmes de securite routiere dans les ecoles primaires de Vancouver, en Colombie-Britannique. Ils illustrent comment de tels programmes supposent une politique de la responsabilite visant grandement les enfants et les parents pour en faire des personnes securitaires sur la route dans un environnement institutionnel qui ne fournit pourtant aux programmes qu’un soutien et des fonds sporadiques pour administrer les risques de la circulation. Alors que ce contexte de programmes de securite routiere a l’ecole aide a maintenir une certaine <>, elle ne remet pas fondamentalement en question la structure dominante actuelle de la mobilite et les problemes qui y sont inherents.
