In a work zone, a flagger holds up a STOP sign toward you. The traffic light just past the flagger is green. What should you do?
A approaches a high-visibility flagger holding the STOP side of a paddle. The green traffic signal beyond is shown in a separate detail; cones mark the work area and an enlarged paddle face makes STOP readable.
Correct answer: Stop and wait until the flagger signals you to go, even though the light is green.
Why
Work zones change often, and a flagger may stop traffic because a truck is backing up or because only one lane is open for both directions. State law requires drivers to obey official traffic control devices and adopts the national standards for work zones, and the manual says that flaggers have the legal authority to control traffic. Watch for flaggers and police officers who use hand signals or signs, and obey them over a normal signal or sign.
