Stop when you see the lollipop...

no... not asking you to eat the lollipop unless you like the taste of metal ;p

In UK, a school crossing supervisor or school crossing patrol officer is colloquially known as a lollipop man, and lollipop woman/lady, because of the modified circular stop sign he or she carries, which resembles a large lollipop. So when you see a lollipop you know the kids are back to school. The lollipop man / lady would normally be standing at a crossing near the school gate, stopping the passing vehicles so the kids could cross the road safely.

Pretty cute huh to call that a lollipop but then again its associated with kids so yeah it fits perfectly.
