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
