My son's school is 5 miles away. The closest bus stop is 1 1/2 miles away. He would have to cross 7 streets to get home. None of them have crosswalks and one of them has the average speed limit of 45 mph. Their policy is that if the bus stop is within 2 miles, it is ok. My son is only in the first grade!

Did you have to walk far to school or the bus stop?
