It seems like parents and the PTOs would be good lobbyists for getting streets safer for children (and adults) to walk and bike on. But there's clearly a culture of fear in America. Rather than approach safety issues rationally, we coddle and cosset our kids and make them even more fearful than we are.
I blame it on TV and the internet. Our low birthrate might play a part also.
