A school crossing guard typically has the authority to stop traffic to ensure the safe crossing of children, often using stop signs or signals. Their role is to enhance safety by managing traffic during school hours. However, they are also trained to assess traffic conditions and should wait for an appropriate moment when it is safe to cross if traffic is heavy. Ultimately, their primary goal is to ensure the safety of the children.
'Crossing traffic' means the traffic that is crossing in front of you moving left to right and vice-versa.
