Children

School Crossing Patrollers

The city council’s school crossing patrol service has been assisting children to cross the road safely for more than 50 years. Whilst school crossing patrols are provided, parents are still responsible for making sure their children get to school safely.

Information for parents

Remember if you are crossing with your child at a patrol site:

  • Wait at the kerb
  • Do not follow the patrol out into the road
  • Walk across only when the patrol tells you
  • Always walk in front of the patrol, not behind

Information for drivers

Remember, if you are approaching a patrol site:

  • Slow down and be prepared to stop
  • Stop at the patrol's signal - failure to stop can result in 3 points on your license and up to a £1,000 fine
  • Be patient - a child's life could be at stake

If you would like to find out further information about becoming a School Crossing Patroller please contact the School Crossing Patrol Officer on: (01733) 453460 or email schoolcrossingpatrolservice@peterborough.gov.uk.
