I cant keep my 6 yr old daughter locked up in the house for her safety,can I?

My 6 yr old daughter is over all a very loving child and maybe little to trusting in people.She doesnt seem to really understand the concept of how dangerous it is to be outside or going to her friends house without me.Im constantly telling her dangers of stranger, crossing the street,not to leave the house without asking me first,etc.Im so scared to let her go play outside because she doesnt pay attention to whats going on around her like nothing matters.A carefree attitude with no limits.On the other hand,my 7 yr old son is just the opposite.From day one,he is very cautious about everything.He always looks out for her but he is maturing who has different friends and wants to do different activities than his sister.Most of the time,they have to play together just because i'll know she is safe with her brother around.Its not fair for my son to always be around his little sister watching her and cant really do the more fun things that boys do(whatever that is,lol..)IM so lost on how to handle this situation.Please help with any advice or suggestions.Im going out of my mind.It just sickins me to even think somrthing happening to her.Shes my baby girl.
