Details
School Crossing Patrols (SCPs) are there to help children and adults to cross the road safely. In Bromley there are 47 primary school sites where SCPs are in place.
SCPs try to cause as little disruption to passing traffic as possible. However, if you are a driver, when you see a SCP officer step into the road you must stop to allow people to cross. Legally, you should not move off until the patrol officer has returned to the pavement and signalled for you to do so. If you do not stop, the possible penalties include:
- a fine of up to £1000
- three penalty points
- disqualification
Information on other accident reduction measures is available here. Information on our road safety targets and how we plan to achieve them is available in our
Road Safety Plan.
