Some school crossing signs in my area have crosswalk lines shown on the sign under the childrens feet and some do not; which is correct?
The current design of the School and School Crossing warning sign does not include the lines indicating crosswalk markings under the children’s feet. The design with the lines under the children’s feet (formerly S2-1) was deleted effective with the 2000 MUTCD. The S1-1 pentagon-shaped sign, without lines under the children’s feet, is now used both for the advance warning (with an “AHEAD” W16-9p plaque) and at the crosswalk itself (with a downward sloping arrow W16-7 plaque). See Sections 7B.08 and 7B.09 for details. The compliance date for upgrading school warning signs to the new designs is January 17, 2011.
