The Crossing Guard is a community-created melee weapon for all classes with the exception of the Engineer and the Spy. It is a slightly weathered railroad crossing sign with glowing team-colored lights.

Trivia

  • A crossing guard is a person that manages traffic, usually to aid pedestrians in crossing an intersection.
    • Prior to electronic railroad crossing installments, a crossing guard was also a term given to a person who would work in an office by a crossing. When a train was to approach, they would change the crossing gates (either by hand or by a lever/switch) so as to block traffic. This was most commonly in use in the United Kingdom, and still sees some use to date.
