With several schools nearby and students returning to class, this is a good time for a reminder about how crosswalks and crossing guards are managed.
Crosswalk locations, road markings, traffic signage, and crossing-guard staffing are generally handled by Louisville Metro Government and the Louisville Metro Police Department—not directly by an individual school or the City of Graymoor-Devondale.
Residents can help advocate for safer school crossings by:
- Reporting faded markings, speeding concerns, or possible locations for safety improvements through Metro311
- Requesting a speed or traffic study for a specific location
- Saving the Metro311 service-request number so the concern can be tracked
- Sharing the request and its reference number with the appropriate Metro Council office
- Continuing to report recurring or unresolved safety concerns
Contact Metro311 by dialing 311 or 502-574-5000, using the Metro311 mobile app, or submitting a request online.
Drivers are also reminded to slow down near schools, watch carefully for children, obey posted speed limits, and follow the directions of crossing guards.
Safety around our schools is a community effort.
