Flagger Training

Other flagging Situations

Equipment Crossings

Generally, traffic control procedures are the same for haul road intersections as for other work areas. Follow the procedures for stopping and releasing traffic under Two-Flagger Operations.

1. When trucks are making a right turn onto the highway, only one flagger may be required.

2. When trucks are crossing the highway or making a left turn, two flaggers may be required, one for each direction.

Intersection Work

When work activities occur in an intersection, additional flaggers may be needed.

Communication among flaggers is essential. Do not direct drivers through red lights at intersections with traffic signals. Signals should be deactivated to avoid confusion.

Mobile Operations

Mobile work zones present particular challenges for flaggers. Because you may be moving down the road with the other workers, your visibility and conflicts from intersecting roads and driveways are continually changing.
