An authorized work-zone flagger is displaying a STOP direction to your lane. What should you do?
A worker in a high-visibility vest holds a STOP paddle facing the approaching car. The car is centered in its lane; cones show the work area beyond. A labeled enlargement shows the paddle face.
Correct answer: Obey the flagger and stop.
Why
Obey the authorized flagger’s STOP direction. Temporary traffic control protects workers and guides traffic through changing conditions. Wait for a direction permitting your lane to proceed, and remain alert for workers and equipment.
