Passing target: 80% (40/50)
In a work zone, a flagger turns the STOP/SLOW paddle to STOP as you approach. The car ahead of you has just gone past the flagger. What should you do?
A approaches a high-visibility flagger whose paddle faces A with STOP displayed. A larger inset shows the paddle. B has already gone past the flagger into the work zone.
Correct answer: Stop, and stay stopped until the flagger turns the paddle to SLOW or waves you on.
Why
Flaggers control traffic through work zones and protect the people working there; the manual says signs and flaggers save lives. Treat a flagger's STOP paddle like any other stop signal, even if the car ahead was allowed through. New Jersey doubles the fines for many traffic offenses in marked construction zones. Stay alert, turn on your headlights, do not tailgate, and avoid distractions such as hands-free calls while you pass through.
