I remember as a kid I passed about 5 crossing guards each way when I walked to/from school. Now I drive through that same community and the crossing guards have been replaced with speed bumps, bus lanes, and extended entrances to the schools. The walking path through the woods I used as a shortcut is overgrown and I bet if I asked any of the kids there today they wouldn't even know it exists. I remember one day I was walking home from school and crossed the street not at the crosswalk. By the time I got the crossing guard who spotted me had called my mom and I got a stern ass chewing about using crosswalks (never happened again :)
