A school road patrol is a group of students, adult volunteers, or school staff, who help ensure the safety of children when they are crossing the street near schools. These patrols typically work during busy times, like when children are arriving at or leaving school, and are stationed at crosswalks or intersections. They help direct traffic, signal for safe crossing, and remind other students of the proper safety rules. School road patrols are important for teaching children how to stay safe on the road and reducing the risk of accidents in school zones.
