Flaggers (signal persons) at construction sites: Drivers must

• A. Obey their instructions
• B. Ignore them and speed up
• C. Continue as before
• D. Honk to attract attention

Answer: (A)

Flaggers are trained to control traffic safely around a work zone and have the authority to stop or slow vehicles to protect workers and equipment. When you encounter a flagger, you must follow their directions exactly—whether to stop, slow down, or proceed—until they signal you to do otherwise. This guidance helps prevent crashes and keeps both you and the workers safe, and it is the standard rule in traffic safety at construction sites. Actions like speeding up, continuing as you were, or honking to get attention can create dangerous situations and are not allowed.
