Yeah, we live on the backside of a circle with no through traffic and today I watched a teenager race around the circle going faster than 20mph for several laps. My driveway is sloped and balls roll into the road that my small children go after all the time. Its been a point of focus for me to convince them to check the road, stop, look both ways, ALWAYS, and make sure there are no cars.

Even if they dont clock it car, its my hope the driver sees them on the side while they pause to check. Them getting hit by a car in my own neighborhood is my biggest fear and also the most likely disaster that can probably befall them.

I also love transporting them in our van, so its just a very complicated issue. I wish our populace was more into walkable solution and more attentive at driving.
