Bathurst MP Paul Toole said that previously a school crossing had to be used by 300 cars each hour in the morning and afternoon as well as at least 50 students to be eligible for a supervisor.

Now, schools have to meet just one of the criteria to get a lollipop man or woman.

"Lollipop men and women are so important in helping keep our youngest road users safe," Mr Toole said.

"School zones are one of the safest areas of the NSW road network, with not a single child pedestrian fatality in an active school zone since 2013.

"I strongly encourage dedicated people interested in serving their community in this important and lifesaving way to keep an eye out for the job ad."

Mr Toole said the NSW Government would roll out an additional 300 lollipop people across the state, with recruitment to start soon for Bathurst Public.

The news comes just six months after Bathurst Public parent Stephen Rogers aired his concerns about the crossing, saying he had seen two "near misses".

"Across NSW, we want children to be able to get to and from school safely," Mr Toole said.

In addition to more crossing supervisors, there is now at least one set of school zone flashing lights for every school in NSW, with more than 6000 sets of school flashing lights now installed.
