The presence of crossing guards significantly enhances crosswalk safety. Their role is crucial in assisting pedestrians, particularly children, in safely navigating the street. Crossing guards are often recognized by their high-visibility reflective safety vests and stop sign paddles. You may encounter a nod, a smile, or a friendly wave from your local crossing guards, who play a vital role in community safety. Ensuring pedestrian safety at crosswalks is a shared responsibility among pedestrians, drivers, and all road users. Individuals must remain vigilant when crossing the street by paying attention to signs, signals, and the actions of drivers, cyclists, and other pedestrians. Looking left-right-left is advisable for oncoming vehicles and to follow the steps: stop, look, and listen. Thank you to all the Voorhees Township Crossing Guards for helping keep the community safe. ... See MoreSee Less
