Same here. My kids would have to cross a road that doesn’t even have a pedestrian crossing, and walk along another next to a main road without even a sidewalk, just couple feet of grass between the road and the guard rail. A kid got killed walking around there recently.
It almost sounds like you live near me! In the subdivision, one can walk all around safely, but trying to get the last 100 yards to the school is a nightmare. People go roaring along in their SUVs talking on the cellphone, like they’re in their own private universe. (/rant)
