If your crew is performing roadwork in an area that’s frequently under construction, the standard construction signs may be little more than background scenery to motorists familiar with the area. Bringing in a traffic flagger can help alert motorists that something new is happening on the road ahead.

06/25/2015

Every construction project is different, including the scope, length, and location. But you don’t have to worry. Traffic flaggers can adapt to any situation, whether it’s a long-term, multi-lane closure on a major highway, or short-term shoulder work on a back road.

In order to ensure maximum visibility, traffic flagging companies issues safety vests and other items of clothing that can be easily seen – often using fluorescent orange-red or yellow-green. Many states have regulations that cover the safety apparel that flaggers must wear while working in or near a construction site.

You might think that the color of a traffic sign indicates its level of importance – with red being used for stop signs. But that’s not the case. Instead, it was the number of sides on the sign that was most important. Round signs, deemed most important, were chosen for railroad crossings. Octagonal signs, next in importance, were chosen for stop signs. A square sign, with just four sides, was used for matters urging caution or attention.

Visibility is one of the most important issues for proper traffic control in work zones. Traffic flaggers are taught to ensure that the locations chosen to signal to traffic are both safe and highly visible. Glare from the sun, shadows and night-time work zones require particularly careful placement to ensure visibility.

It’s hard to imagine the roads in America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Cars were just beginning to be sold at that time and the “rules of the road” simply did not exist. For example, the idea of the center line was first applied in 1911. It wasn’t until 1915 that the first stop sign was erected, according to experts. A traffic flagger’s job would have been much easier in those days!

When there are major obstacles in the road – like potholes or downed trees – it’s important to give motorists plenty of notice. Whether you’re only shutting down part of the road or need to completely redirect traffic, our flaggers are always up to the challenge.

06/04/2015

If you’re closing off one lane of a road for a longer distance, then a single traffic flagger won’t be enough. In that case, a traffic flagging company will provide two-way flagging, where multiple flaggers coordinate on either end of the work zone.

06/02/2015

Do you need to close off a lane for your work zone? This leaves traffic in both directions using a single lane, which could lead to several obvious problems. Using a traffic flagger will help prevent accidents or other problems.

05/28/2015

You might think that you don’t need a traffic flagger if you’re working on a secondary back road, but drivers who are expecting an empty road might be startled by your work zone. Having traffic flaggers will help make sure any accidents are prevented.

05/26/2015

It wasn’t long after the first steam powered vehicles in the late 19th century first appeared that Americans began to put up traffic signs such as the ubiquitous red stop sign used by traffic flaggers. However, stop signs that were black and other colors led to a standardization effort that began in 1922.

05/21/2015

When the position of your utility lines leaves you no choice but to shut down several lanes of traffic on a busy road, there’s always the potential for traffic accidents as a result. Let’s talk about how bringing in our traffic flaggers can help keep the roadway safe for everyone while you complete your work.

Aren’t safety cones and blinking message boards sufficient to alert motorists to be careful in a construction zone? There are no guarantees, which is the reason that traffic flaggers are so vital. If a driver is disregarding signs to slow down, a flagger has a better chance to get the driver’s attention and the opportunity to contact local law enforcement officials to try to avoid an accident.

Orange vests or shirts are often worn by traffic flaggers, but that’s not the only color. A traffic flagger will take the background and lighting conditions into account to make sure they have the contrast needed to be seen by motorists.

05/12/2015

Have you ever experienced a construction site that has blocked off a lane of traffic so that northbound traffic is allowed to use the remaining lane for a minute or two and then southbound traffic gets its chance? That type of work zone traffic control is impossible without trained traffic flaggers.

05/07/2015

Sometimes you need to fully close a road to get the work done, but not for long enough that you need to put up full road barriers. In these cases, you need to make sure that you have a traffic flagger at the right locations to give drivers plenty of warning.

For more than 50 years, bright yellow was the preferred safety color, but that changed in 2000. An ANSI study on safety and visibility found the lime green shade known as “safety green” was more visible in busy, distracting work and traffic control zones.

Working on a shoulder on a small residential road might not be a big problem, but highway and freeway shoulder work comes with highway and freeway speeds. Traffic flagging services will help get the traffic down to a slower speed to make the area around the work zone much safer.

04/28/2015

Normally, traffic can flow pretty smoothly, but it doesn’t take much to confuse motorists and cause the traffic to slow down, especially at intersections. Fortunately, traffic flaggers can help get traffic rolling smoothly when your work zone encroaches on an intersection.

04/23/2015

Traffic flagging is about safety, which is why everyone in the work zone wears safety gear. Class 1 clothing is for work near slow-moving traffic, class 2 is for work near mid-speed traffic and class 3 is for work in or near high-speed traffic.

04/21/2015

Traffic safety cones, flags, signs and flagger gear often feature closed-cell “glass bead” reflective tape to make people and objects more visible. The tape actually contains microscopic glass beads stabilized in an adhesive coating.

04/16/2015

Have you ever heard of William Phelps Eno? He is the father of the stop sign in America. Eno, the head of a wealthy family in New England, submitted an article in 1900 for “River and Driver” Magazine suggesting that stop signs be placed at intersections. Interestingly, Eno was only a passenger in cars. He never learned to drive.

Who needs traffic flagging services? You do, if you’re responsible for a busy construction zone. We’ll design and mark an effective traffic control pattern, provide equipment and markers, and post trained flaggers to keep traffic moving safely.

04/09/2015

We recognize that it’s often necessary to shut down one of the lanes on a two-lane road when working on utility lines. While this will naturally cause traffic congestion in the area, an experienced traffic flagger can help to minimize it.

04/07/2015

One of the roles of a traffic control flagger is to maintain safe conditions on roads and highways when unusual situations exist. These include unplanned emergency construction, safety crews responding to accidents or emergencies, and hazards like fallen trees or wires.

04/02/2015

In our business, reflective tape is essential for safety and visibility. The first safety tape was developed in the 1930s by researchers at the 3M company who created a light-reflecting glass bead coating that is still used in safety products today.

It’s important to remember that the debris from a building project won’t always fall exactly where you think it will. If there’s even a slight chance that something could fall into the adjacent street, it’s best to act on the side of caution and bring in traffic flaggers to shut down the stretch of road.

03/26/2015

Construction traffic control can be planned ahead with plenty of time, but emergencies aren’t as cooperative. You don’t have to worry. Traffic flagging services can help control traffic at all hours in case you need to close lanes because of an emergency.

03/24/2015

Part of roadwork can sometimes involve removing or obstructing existing devices and signage, but this also removes the existing traffic control measures. Fortunately, traffic flaggers are able to act as temporary control measures to keep traffic moving and keep the work zone safe.

03/19/2015

When you have plans in the works to demolish an unsafe building, you may worry about whether the nearby roadway is safe for motorists and pedestrians in the meantime. If you can’t afford to chance it, we’re always available to help alert people to the potential danger.
