Near a school, a student safety patrol member steps to the edge of the street and holds a flag out to stop traffic. A line of children starts to cross the street in front of your car. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop, and stay stopped until the patrol member pulls the flag back out of the street.
Why
A student safety patrol or an adult crossing guard helps children cross near schools. When the patrol member or guard holds out a stop flag or sign, stop fully and stay stopped until the flag or sign is pulled back. Children are small, hard to see and quick to move, so wait for the patrol even after the children leave your lane. A violation is a misdemeanor, and a second violation within one year is a gross misdemeanor.
