Construction & Temporary Signs
Flag Person Ahead Sign
An orange sign warning that a flag person is directing traffic ahead in a construction zone.
What This Sign Means
Flag persons control alternating traffic through work zones. Their signals legally override traffic lights and signs, and fines double when workers are present.
What You Should Do
Slow down, obey the flag person's paddle or hand signals completely, and be patient — proceed only when directed.
Knowledge Test Tip
Order of authority on the test: police/flag person directions override signals, which override signs, which override pavement markings.
