Crossing Patrols provide a vital service to all pedestrians, and young people in particular, on their journey to and from schools.

The service provides 180 crossing sites within the Leeds boundary.  The patrols are employed to ensure pedestrians cross to and from school safely.  Crossing patrols are legally empowered to stop traffic.  The Road Traffic Act now enable patrols to cross any pedestrian, not just children.

For more information about school crossings and the location and siting of them please telephone the service on the numbers below.
