In a work zone on a two-lane road, a flagger holds a paddle with the red STOP side toward you. You see no workers or machines in your lane. What must you do?

Correct answer: Stop, and stay stopped until the flagger signals you to go.
Why
On a two-lane road, a work zone often closes one lane, and flaggers let each direction use the open lane in turn. When the flagger shows STOP, stop and stay stopped, even if the road ahead looks clear, because oncoming traffic may be on its way through the work zone. When the flagger shows SLOW or waves you on, go slowly and follow the flagger's directions.
