[snip][QUOTE] My 3 younger kids played in the street from the age of 4 or 5, but we did live at the end of a small cul-de-sac.[/QUOTE] I doubt you get too many people doing over the speed limit there then. If you lived on a road where cars speed, would you still let them play on it[1]? I live at the end of a cul-de-sac, but it still makes me nervous that they wouldn't see a car coming out of one of the drives. [1] Assuming you didn't want rid of them.
