School Traffic Wardens usually work in the mornings, at lunchtime and in the evenings, when children are most likely to cross the road to go to or from school. School Traffic Wardens wear a distinctive uniform (a high-visibility coat and hat). They must also carry a distinctive sign (a white disc with a red border and the word ‘Stop’ in the centre). By displaying this sign, the school traffic warden has the power to stop the traffic to enable school children to cross the road in safety. Traffic must remain stopped as long as the warden displays the sign. SECTION 2: DUTIES The duties shall be such as may be assigned to the officer from time to time by the local authority.
