Ars†28-797 school crossings

The highway commission may establish crosswalks in front of each school building or school grounds abut­ting thereon where children shall be required to cross the highway or street. Additional crossings across highways not abutting on the school grounds may be approved by the highway commission upon appli­ca­tion of school authorities. The district should assure that adults are used as guards at no abutting school crossings.

When school crossings are established, do school authorities cause to be placed within the highway portable signs indi­cating that school is in session, placed not to exceed 300 feet each side of the school crossings, and "Stop When Children In Crosswalk" signs at school crossings, and do school authorities maintain these signs when school is in session and cause them to be removed immediately thereafter? Notwithstanding any other law.
