Yes. Pull up Google maps and say you want to do some theoretical trip in the future. It'll show you different average traffic & time for the route for whatever time you pick. So you can check your possible future commute, etc

That would be a somewhat poor indicator of risk as it is very specific data that doesn't correlate well to overall safety.
I would instead research quality of schools, crime statistics, and visit the neighborhood.
Without giving too much personal info, my home meets your criteria. It is a safe walk, I've done it many times. There have been accidents and close calls and not necessary vehicles faults. Bikes and pedestrians do dumb stuff too. Everyone's got rules to follow so make sure kids know the rules and safety like making eye contact.
I would research crime though. I've seen needles by elementary schools in the past. We do have a drug problem and that's a lot scarier IMO.
