crossing guards
Schooltime traffic monitors
Crossing guards are people stationed at street intersections to help pedestrians—especially schoolchildren—cross safely.
They typically hold stop signs or wear bright vests, halting traffic while groups cross: The crossing guard waved the kids across.
In British English, the equivalent is lollipop man or lollipop lady, from the shape of the sign.
