(1) Yes (please note it is children's crossings and not school crossings)
(a) The warrant criteria for a Type A crossing where the applicant school is a
High School only,
has been revised. The minimum vehicle count was revised from 1,250 to 700 the hour immediately before and the hour immediately after school.
Type B warranted crossings have been given formalised criteria. The criteria is half of a Type A warranted crossing.
Criteria has also been introduced for schools that are
combined
. That is the school location has both primary aged and high school aged students. The criteria for a Type A warranted crossing is the same as Primary School criteria.
(2) None. All children's crossings are reviewed every 5 years as part of their Warrant. They are not reviewed specifically to "lose their status enabling that crossing to be supervised by a traffic warden". To keep a warranted children's crossing the crossing must meet the required criteria.
