Our Protector

A crossing guard (?!) at a busy downtown intersection, guiding pedestrians across the street and holding traffic at bay with her red "STOP" sign. (Never mind that there are traffic lights)

In my elementary school days (60+ years ago!!), crossing guards helped us to cross the street as we made our way to and from school.

I guess now, with so many pedestrians being hit by cars at intersections, we all need the protection of a crossing guard.
A nice candid

Een `` Klaar over`` in Holland. Vrijwilligers de helpen oversteken op een drukke weg. Vaak bij scholen. Leuke candid.

A great story telling shot. We too had crossing guards way back in my school days.

We also had them to help us cross the main 4 lane road in CT, due to heavy wind! It was impossible to cross on your own. We probably live in the windiest part of the world during the summer months Heather.

What a good idea , I have only seen crossing persons for children coming and going to school!

Good choice of a red hat!! All the better to see her with. Don't think I'd like that job ( we had ' lollipop' people to help us cross at school)

@bkbinthecity That's right! I had forgotten about that, Brian (some older kids being the guards). Good for you!
