What should you do?
Stop when the warden holds up this sign and stay stopped until the warden has returned to the footpath and lowered it, even if the children have finished crossing.
How to recognise it
A hand-held circular sign with a red ring, the word STOP and a black symbol of two children walking.
Common confusion
This is a legal instruction just like a Garda signal, so it is not optional the way slowing for a children warning sign is.
