Can you receive a ticket for disobeying directions given by a flagger?

Yes, flaggers have the same authority as a sign.
No, a flagger does not have the same authority as a sign.
Yes, but only if there are no road signs.
No, flaggers are not law enforcement officers.
Explanation

A flagger is a worker who directs drivers to stop, proceed with caution, or change lanes in work zones. A flagger has the same authority as a traffic sign or officer, meaning you can receive a ticket for failing to follow their instructions. When driving through construction or road maintenance zones, reduce your speed, stay alert, and obey all signs and flaggers.
