A crossing guard (North American English), lollipop woman/man/lady/person (British, Irish, and Australian English), or school road patrol (New Zealand English) is a traffic management personnel who is normally stationed on busy roadways to aid pedestrians. Often associated with school children, crossing guards stop the flow of traffic so pedestrians may cross an intersection. Crossing guards are known by a variety of names, the most widely used in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia being "lollipop lady/woman/man/person", a reference to the large signs used that resemble lollipops. The verb is lollipopping, which can also be used for road works.
