Traffic safety officers in New Brunswick, NJ have taken several steps to improve the safety of their crossing guards and the children they help on their way to and from school. The Improving School Crossings video demonstrates relatively inexpensive strategies that police departments can adopt to improve the safety of their school crossings. The video addresses not only improvements to infrastructure, but also approaches to crossing guard supervision, empowerment of crossing guards to think about how their posts can be improved, and collaboration with the municipality, county, and school district to address hazardous conditions.
This video was developed by New Jersey Safe Routes Resource Center at Rutgers University, on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation with funds from the Federal Highway Administration.
