Use of Signaling Equipment

Crossing guards use signaling devices such as hooters and strobe lights to communicate information to road users primarily in school zones to ensure pedestrians are not at the risk of crossing at the wrong moments.

Interpreting Traffic Signals to Ensure Safe Train Passage

Direct Guard Services crossing guards have been trained to effectively communicate traffic and crossing rules to pedestrians, especially students. They also help activate railroad warning signal lights and lower crossing gates to allow trains to pass safely and raise the barriers when the road is clear.
