w/o knowing more it's hard to form an opinion. but initially looking at this road view I see decent sidewalk (aka Highline Trail) which I don't normally advocate to ride on. I also see a very straight road which would be tempting to go faster than slower on. there is a road crossing at the Middle/High School. so I'd be tempted to ride the paved "trail" & cross at the light

From the article, “Police said the driver of the car was headed east on Diffley Road in the center lane and struck the back tire of Vitek’s bike.” Looking at the picture above, just can’t imagine a kid riding in the middle of the street/lanes like that.
