Recently in Japan we have a trend of much increase in the number of elderly peoples which will become 25.8% for Japanese population in 2025 year although being 14.1% in 1995 year. As a result the occurrence of elderly peoples' traffic accidents is very anxious to increase rapidly. In this paper the authors discuss the countermeasures for reducing the elderly peoples' traffic accidents from the traffic engineering point of view as welfare enginnering. The countermesures were proposed for the following two phases : one is the case of the presence of an assailant like a car or a bicycle and the another, the case of traffic accident invitation by an elderly people's own like stumbling or falling down. The proposed measures were, for example, a crossing sign and hump to show the presence of a cross walk for a driver, and a special bicycle to assist electrically the driving force of an elderly people.
