School crossing patrols
A valuable and rewarding role in the community
Patrols have a legal power to stop traffic to cross any pedestrian, adult or child, and failing to stop is an offence.
Today’s crossing patrols are better equipped to carry out the job than ever before with high quality uniform to protect them from the weather and help them be seen by drivers. They are not only trained to work on the crossing point but also in dealing with the issues they are likely to come across when working in a front line service on the highway.
Anyone can request a new patrol. If you think a new patrol site is needed please contact us. We will carry out a survey to see if the site meets the criteria.
