History
Road Safety Patrol programs exist in schools throughout the world. In addition to
providing safe passage for their fellow students, the students who participate in
the Road Safety Patrol develop important qualities and personal skills, including
leadership and a sense of social responsibility.
Primary Functions
The primary functions of a Road Safety Patrol are described as below:
To instruct, direct, and control students in crossing the roadways at or near schools; and to
assist teachers and parents in the instruction of school children in safe pedestrian practices
at all times and places.
Patrollers guide children and prevent them from entering traffic when it is unsafe
to do so. Patrollers should not be charged with the responsibility of directing
vehicular traffic, nor should they be allowed to. Therefore, they do not need to be
recognized by city bylaw dealing with the control of vehicular traffic.
