| A school
crossing guard waits outside a school in Champaign, Illinois. Trained
adult crossing guards are needed where you have unsignalized crosswalks
on busy multi-lane roads that are too challenging for young children
on their own. They have to deal with drivers who are often in a hurry,
distracted, or simply do not respect the laws regarding school crossings
and other crosswalks. |
