Some do. Many don't. Usually it depends on the setting.
Like you say, the roads and streets are different here. Town centres for instance are often quite crowded and the streets narrow. I can see why some do it. Most just hold their hand though. More likely to see it if there are several children of different ages. It would only take a second for a little one to let go of your hand and be in the road.
