Description and National Affiliation (if any): Patrols direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in safety, patrol members remind other students about safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as role models for younger children who look up to them. 

As members of AAA School Safety Patrols, students have protected their classmates since 1916. 

In the 1930s, three national organizations: the American Automobile Association, the National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the National Safety Council — collaborated on Standard Rules for the Operation of School By Patrols. These guidelines have been updated over the years to become the operating standards for AAA Safety Patrols.
