At what age did you start letting your kids run errands or walk to school by themselves?

In Chicago, kids start going to school by themselves between 8 and 13 depending on how comfortable their parents are with them behaving properly on the way to school.

Mine walked to school (< 10 minute walk) at about second grade. Running errands at about fourth.
