What Does a Flagger Do?

A flagger directs traffic for a road construction crew. Flaggers hold a paddle with "Stop" on one side and "Slow" on the other which they use to help indicate to motorists to slow down, stop and pass through the work zone. Flaggers often work in conjunction with other flaggers, with each standing at opposite ends of the construction area and coordinating traffic flow via communication, either via two-way radio or hand signals. At times, they will use the assistance of orange barrels, cones, vehicle placement, and other devices which they position alongside the roadway.

A flagger has the charge to protect the lives of our customers, motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists and themselves on the roadway.
