TRAFFIC LAWS FOR LOCAL SCHOOLS
Crossing Guard etiquette:
DRIVERS: Stop for stop sign and remained stopped
until the crossing guard steps onto the sidewalk.
- This makes sure some child, unseen to
the driver and crossing guard, doesn’t run into the crosswalk and get hit.
- It also allows for the safety of the
crossing guard.
- If the car starts to go it leaves
everyone wondering if the driver is going to hit a pedestrian or the
crossing guard.
- Think about it, would you like someone
trying to drive through the crosswalk while you were in it, or were crossing
with your children? What if one of your kids turned around and ran back to
the other side of the street because they forgot something in front of this
moving car? Would they be hit?
- Remember 2815 cvc above requires you to
remain stopped until the Crossing Guard and children reach a point of safety
(the sidewalk).
PEDESTRIANS: If you’re crossing in the crosswalk,
wait on the sidewalk for the Crossing Guard to stop traffic and tell you its
safe to cross in the crosswalk.
- Remember the Crossing Guard is there for
your safety.
- The Crossing Guard is trying to cross
you and the children and still allow for traffic to get through.
- Remember that your children will follow
your example of obeying or disobeying the Crossing Guard.
- Don’t teach your children to cross in
the middle of the street. Teach them to cross in the crosswalk with the
Crossing Guard.
- Remember 2815 cvc above requires you and
your children to obey the Crossing Guards direction.
