Traffic Control Laborers, also known as Flaggers, are workers responsible for directing traffic safely around construction sites, roadwork zones, or other temporary traffic control areas. They use signs, flags, and hand signals to communicate with drivers and ensure that vehicles and pedestrians move safely through or around work zones. Their main role is to protect both workers and the public by preventing accidents and maintaining a smooth traffic flow. Flaggers must be alert, follow safety regulations, and often work outdoors in various weather conditions.
