When the warden is standing on the footpath, the faces of the board should be shown as parallel with the footpath. When moving on to the carriageway to stop traffic, faces of the board should be shown as at right angles to footpath, so as to be visible to traffic approaching from front and rear. · The warden should take up their position on the footpath, or side of the carriageway, so as to be clearly visible to all approaching traffic, having regard to parked vehicles, etc., which might obstruct the view. The School Warden’s position should be on the side of the carriageway where the most children are congregated wishing to cross. In the mornings, this will generally be found to be the side further away from the school, while in the afternoon and evening times, it will generally be on the school side of the road. · Before attempting to stop traffic, the warden should consider traffic conditions at this point, whether it is of such a sparse nature that he can wait for a lull before going out to conduct children across, or if it is of such a nature that they will have to make breaks in it. In some areas, it is possible that such lulls will obviate the necessity of much stopping of traffic, but in busy areas or on fast traffic routes, breaks will have to be made. Great care will have to be exercised by the warden in breaking up traffic, due consideration being given to the speed of the approaching traffic and conditions of road and weather. Sufficient time should always be given by the warden for traffic to pull up in safety. · The warden should marshall all children desirous of crossing on their left-hand side and give the children instructions to wait on the footpath until such time as the warden has gone out, taken up position in the centre of the carriageway when all traffic has stopped. The School Warden should then call or signal the students to cross, by using the words ‘CROSS NOW’, after which the students should walk across, in front of them in an orderly manner. In the initial stages of their duties, they should be very careful to ensure that the children obey these instructions implicitly, as sometimes there is a tendency for the children to follow them out on the carriageway before traffic has been stopped. · When the warden has taken up their position in the centre of the carriageway, and is clearly visible to all traffic, they should ensure that all traffic in their immediate vicinity, front and rear, has come to a standstill before calling or signalling on the children to cross. The warden should see that the children got safely across from one side of the carriageway to the other, before leaving the road and releasing traffic. · The warden must not move from the road centre until the last one of the children is safely on the footpath. · The warden will stop traffic by leaving the footpath, with the board/Stop Sign, and going to the centre of the road and release traffic by returning to the footpath. No signals of any kind should be given to traffic by the warden. · The warden should never break up organised convoys, weddings, funerals, parades, or hold up emergency service vehicles on a ‘blue light or siren’ , for the purpose of allowing children to cross. The warden should wait for suitable opportunities when they have passed. Heavily laden horses should not be held up on inclines. · If the wardens have any trouble in controlling, or encounter disobedience by the children, they should inform the principal of the school concerned. Any disobedience by traffic in general should be reported forthwith to the Road Safety Officer or gardaí. Where a serious incident may have occurred, this should be reported to the Gardai. In the case of motor vehicles, the description, registration number and so on of person driving, together with time and place of the occurrence, should be noted for the information of the Gardai. Frivolous complaints should, however, be avoided. · At all crossings, once all students have either gone into school in the morning or have passed the crossing in the afternoon at the end of the school day, the school warden should leave the crossing point, ensuring to check there are no stragglers before the warden leaves their post. Format of the Competition Following the closing date for receipt of completed application forms, Kerry County Council will examine all applications having regard to the requirements as set out above. Depending on the number of applications received, shortlisting may apply based on information supplied on the application form.
