Be aware, be courteous, be patient. Keep our pedestrians safe.
Crossing guards play an important role in assisting children across intersections on their way to and from school. Keeping children safe is a priority for the City of Stratford.
City Council determines the locations and times for our guards based on several factors, including number of children crossing, gaps in traffic flow, traffic warrant studies and surrounding conditions.
All of our Crossing Guards are trained and have legal authority under the Highway Traffic Act to stop traffic in order to facilitate the safe crossing of our children.
Attention motorists
As of January 1, 2016, drivers (including cyclists) must stop and yield the whole roadway at school crossings where there is a crossing guard displaying a school crossing stop sign. (http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/safety/pedestrian-safety.shtml)
