In a highway work zone, a flagger in an orange vest holds up a STOP paddle. The road ahead looks clear, and you see no workers. What should you do?
A approaches an orange-vest flagger holding the STOP side of a paddle. An enlarged exact face repeats the paddle; the road ahead is clear and no stopping position is selected.
Correct answer: Stop, and stay stopped until the flagger shows SLOW or waves you on.
Why
Flaggers stop, slow or guide traffic through a work area, and they can see hazards that you cannot see. They wear orange vests, shirts or jackets. The law sets higher fines when a driver disobeys work-zone controls while a worker is present. Follow the flagger's signal, not the other traffic.
