How do frum kids go to shul parks, relatives etc. on Shabbos and YT?
I assume you mean because of lack of sidewalks
The are taught to be very careful and usually accompanied by a responsible adult or older sibling.
We have only 1 ortho shul in town and the police commission knows the service schedule for Shabbos and YT. They tend to send officers out on the walking routes who will assist in crossing major intersections, etc. Local drivers seeing walkers in Shabbos finery will automatically slow down and give right of way and let them cross streets. So few people walk in the suburbs (not talking about those dresses for running/exercise) that drivers take notice and are careful.The town is very proactive to serving he needs of all residents. This is still small town America, the town has approx. 35,000 residents and 28 houses of worship that I know of. Every one’s beliefs and practices are respected.
