Andy, don't worry. DD, 4, is allowed to play outside alone on her swing set sometimes--ever since we cut down the trees that blocked our line of sight. But, we live in the country, away from the road. And, she's not a kid who wanders off.
And last summer she practically lived on the deck while we were inside.
We do check on her frequently-- I'm more worried she'll go down to the pond than I am about the road, but she knows she's not supposed to.
Of course she's ours, so we don't have to answer to the state....
