An exception is provided for the use of certain flags by members of school safety patrols to warn traffic that children are about to cross the roadway. To meet the exception a school safety patrol flag must be federal yellow, 24 inches square, bear the words "safety patrol" or "school," and be attached to a lightweight pole eight feet or less in length. Under this bill, the school safety patrol flag exception also includes flags that are fluorescent yellow and between 20 inches and 24 inches square.
