Electronic Whistles
A 2-Step system will help Crossing Guards communicate with pedestrians and motorists.
Step 1: When you hear the Crossing Guard's whistle, BE ON HIGH ALERT. After sounding the electronic whistle, the Guard will enter the roadway to ensure traffic has stopped. The whistle is an additional safety measure to the laws found under the Highway Traffic Act regarding school crossing locations.
Step 2: Once traffic has stopped, the Guard will then sound the whistle once (at a controlled crossing: traffic signals/all-way stop signs are present) or twice (at an uncontrolled crossing: NO traffic signals/all-way stop signs) to signal the pedestrians to cross. Always listen to your Crossing Guard and wait until they say it's safe to cross.
