[quote=Anonymous]I would, depending on the specific intersections. My 11 yr old walks or bikes 1.3 miles to and from school every day including one busy neighborhood intersection with a stoplight. We've talked a lot about the importance of not walking while looking at his phone. He's also walked less than a mile to a neighborhood library crossing a couple major intersections (busy 4-lane roads w/ stop lights) but those intersections are near a metro station and well-traveled by pedestrians. But there are certainly intersections I wouldn't let him cross -- and I wouldn't want to cross myself! I also insist that on our busy neighborhood road, he go down a couple blocks to cross at a stoplight rather than crossing at an intersection w/out a light. [/quote]
