Townson is a 1way stop and that dashcam faces north, right is east.

Village Gate is a 4way stop and that dashcam faces south, and right is west.

All 4 shifts in 1 video. Its my first big video and there were so many video files I had to edit that I did make a few mistakes, and I think I lost some footage, but I couldn't tell from which files. So please bare with me while I learn this editing stuff. Thank you

Dashcam is facing south, right is west. The crossing guard puts her stop sign up, heads out onto the road, and crosses the pedestrian and kid. Once they are all on the sidewalk, the guard does her checks, turns towards the sidewalk and starts walking back. The grey hatchback is traveling west, stops at the road stop sign, then quickly enters the intersection and blows through the guards stop sign. YRP takes chase, and tickets them right in front of the school. Thank you YRP!

Dashcam is facing south, right is west. There was a thunderstorm that started back up, so the crossing guard went inside her car for safety. During that time, a neighbour came out to unclog the road drain as cars were speeding through the puddle, sending water over the sidewalk. He has a HUGE white umbrella, so he's very easy to see. While he was trying to find the drain, a van traveling south sped up to purposely splash him, which could result in a charge of mischief or assault. Don't splash pedestrians, it's not funny or safe! Luckily he saw what the van was going to do, so he put his umbrella down to protect himself. Right after that happens, you can see a white car traveling south slows down greatly to make sure that they do not splash the pedestrian. The crossing guard knows that pedestrian, and spoke to him in the afternoon about this incident.

Dashcam is facing sough, right is west. The guard sees a kid approaching, so she walks to the curb and puts one foot on it as a way to tell cars that her stop sign will be going up soon, so pay close attention. As soon as the kid is within range, the guard turns, raises her stop sign, then walks onto the road. The white SUV facing south blows through the road stop sign, then the crossing guards stop sign. The guard screams STOP but the SUV ignores her.

Dashcam is facing South, right is west. The guard sees a parent and young child approaching, so she walks to the curb and puts one foot on it as a way to tell cars that her stop sign will be going up soon, so pay close attention. As soon as the parent and child are within range, the guard turns, raises her stop sign, then walks onto the road. The blue car blows through the road stop sign never looking at the guard, the guard screams STOP, and the cars bumper stops a few inches from the inner crosswalk line, and a foot tops from the guard, so way to close. Which means the guard has to walk on the line and out of the crosswalk to walk past the offending car. The blue car eventually reverses a little so the parent and young child can walk in the crosswalk. Once the guard is a step off the road, the blue car turns south.
