“Reaction times vary, but is usually around 0.5–1 seconds, if you are somewhat focused.” (Du och jag i trafiken [You and me in traffic], 28th Edition, page 165)
“It normally takes 1–2 seconds to react when a child runs into the road, for example.” (Swedish Transport Administration)
Remember that this applies in traffic, where you are not prepared at each given moment to react quickly. A person with a 2-second reaction time in traffic may have a reaction time of 0.7 seconds in a test where you have to push a button at the sound of a signal.
