What is a remote flagger?

Remote flaggers are professionals who manage and control traffic flow at construction sites or roadwork zones using technology from a remote location. Instead of standing on-site, they operate cameras, communication systems, and remote signaling devices to ensure the safety of workers and drivers. This approach reduces risks for flaggers by keeping them out of hazardous environments while still maintaining effective traffic control. Remote flagging is increasingly used as a safer alternative to traditional on-site flagging, especially in high-traffic or dangerous areas.
