I don't think it is realistic to make anything that would be completely safe for children that requires interaction with other vehicles etc. Kids in most cases just plain lack the mental skills to make the judgements necessary to stay safe. Even a fully segregated path would have accidents from kids stopping in the middle of the path, freaking out and swerving etc.
