I think it's fairly disingenuous to compare flaggers and crossing guards. For the most part, crossing guards spend their time off on the sides while flaggers are usually near, if not in, traffic. Crossing guards usually escort children across defined paths while flaggers are often dealing with a tangled mess of cones and concrete that make little sense. People socially are conditioned to not want to run over people, but intense construction makes most of us want to kill. I'm better the amount of fumes inhaled per unit time is more for a flagger than a crossing guard.
