School Crossing Patrols
There are around 90 school crossing patrols operating throughout the city of Salford. School crossing patrols - or lollipop men and women, as they are affectionately known - are there to help both children and adults to cross the roads.
Many schools have a 'lollipop' person operating nearby. Wherever you know a crossing patrol operates, please give them every consideration and assistance:
Pedestrians
- Always wait until the patrol has stopped all the traffic before you start to cross
- Always cross in front of the patrol
- Please remember that even when a patrol is provided it is still a parent's responsibility to see their children safely to and from school
Drivers
- Park well away from a patrol - they need to see and be seen by approaching traffic
- Always reduce your speed and be prepared to STOP!
- Obey their instructions when signalled to STOP!
- Give patrols time to cross the children safely and return back to the pavement
