When I was in 5th and 6th grade, we were school crossing guards on a busy, narrow, hilly two lane collector road. The only thing that protected us was an orange diagonal strap across our chest and around our waist. We stopped traffic regularly and safely. No adults were around. Never had an accident. That was in the 1960s.
My voluntary tour of duty was about 25 days during those two years.
