I don't know. I think a lot of people decide not to be even when their neighborhood would allow for it. Yesterday someone was telling me about how the 8 year old isn't allowed to walk down the alley by herself to play with her 9 year old. Like, what are you doing to your kid?
Although I don't know how old the kid will need to be before she's allowed to walk or ride her bike by herself to my niece's house 7 blocks away. She's probably be allowed to go that way well before she's allowed to venture in the other direction where the busy street is.
