I have a sneaky feeling that this is more than just a busy road.

I rode my bike to and from town (about 6 miles) every day when I was in middle school, and only once or twice was I in any real danger from traffic, and yes I did ride on the busy road. Matter of fact, I was in more danger from something happening on my bike and killing me than the traffic.
AVG, I agree with you, kids walking 4 miles to and from school is a huge red bullseye to a predator, and even though I don't have kids (since I just became an adult) I support your stance on the issue.

the best way to fix a problem like this is to start bussing every kid that uses that road to get to school, if the parents aren't able to get them there themselves.
