What is a temporary traffic control flagger?

Temporary Traffic Control Flaggers are workers responsible for directing and managing the flow of traffic around construction sites, roadwork, or other temporary obstructions on roadways. They use signs, hand signals, and communication devices to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, and workers in the area. Flaggers are trained to follow strict safety guidelines and are often the first line of defense in preventing accidents in work zones. Their role is critical for maintaining safe and efficient traffic movement during temporary disruptions.
