It might be a good thing, but then again it may have the opposite effect.
At least on a busy road the cars will probably be travelling at a slower speed, and in the inner-city we can also assume most drivers are more aware of pedestrians crossing at almost every intersection.
Now a low traffic residential road on the other hand, more people put the hammer down and drive a little faster and may not be as aware of pedestrians trying to cross.
So perhaps we are looking at not only educating our kids, but much stronger education of our drivers as well?
