Explanation
Flaggers must always be obeyed, even over traffic signs, signals, or pavement markings. They typically work in construction or maintenance zones, directing drivers to stop, slow down, or proceed safely through the area.
If a flagger makes a sweeping motion with their arm, it signals that drivers facing the flagger may proceed. Failing to obey a flagger or law enforcement officer is illegal and can endanger both road workers and other drivers.
