Crossing Guards
The Township of South Orange employs twenty-six school crossing guards who are presently deployed at different intersections in town. The guards are vital in ensuring that elementary and high school-age children are protected from the hazards of crossing our busy roadways in their daily travels to and from school.
Collectively, this dedicated group of individuals goes above and beyond the call of duty—in all kinds of weather and faced with all types of drivers. They act as friend and educator, instilling principles of pedestrian and traffic safety as they shepherd the children safely on their way.
Being a school crossing guard is rewarding, part-time work that makes a positive contribution to the safety of our children. If you’d like more information or an employment opportunity, contact the Traffic Bureau at 973-763-3000, ext. 7839.
Twenty-two fixed posts are listed below. The township employs two extra, "floating", guards that are available on a daily basis to cover vacant posts or to provide extra assistance at key locations.
