Crossing guard

A crossing guard, lollipop woman/man/lady/person, or school road patrol is a traffic management personnel who is normally stationed on busy roadways to aid pedestrians.

TIL. Strange terminology, you Brits have. Anyone from the culture have any insight as to the use of this term?

    In the UK, the crossing guards have a round sign on a long handle to signal stop/go - it's shaped like a lollipop.
