[quote=Anonymous] It's very location-dependent, and we can only offer you general advice. I suggest you consider the route from the height of your children. Is there good visibility at the intersections? How fast do the cars drive by where they will cross? Etc... We are separated from our elementary school by just one, heavily trafficked and dangerous street. It's a two lane street, and it's tempting to let my kids get to school themselves, but it's actually unsafe because the cars *do not stop* and race to get the green light at the far end, which they can see from afar. I let my 5th grader walk home a few times, before realizing how dangerous it really was: my friend was nearly hit TWICE this year at the same crosswalk. [/quote]
