Is it?  We've been thinking it'd be a neat thing to have for the boat.
What do they want for them and how well do you think it'd hold up in a

Bayview school (at Bay & Mission) has crossing guards which operate on
Mission St, which is Highway 1.  However that is at a traffic light,
which SLV does not have, so that may be the difference.

Anyway high schoolers may be exempt from crossing guards since
they're oldenough to know better.
