The first one or the second one?

What do you think when somebody from United Kingdom says to you "Lollypop man"? You have two options; you can related this term with the first photograph or with the second one.

If you think that a "lollipop man" is the first photo, you are right because it is it, but a person from United Kingdom is referring to the second one.

A Lollipop man/lady is a crossing guard who temporarily stop the flow of traffic when pedestrians ( normally children) cross a dangerous intersection. Normally, those guardians are situated near to schools.

They used to wear a fluorescent raincoat and how you can imagine the name: "lollipop man" is assigned by the traffic sign used by its shape as it were a big lollipop
