The Cornell Local Roads Program (T² Center for New York State) has produced a great on-line
flagger tutorial. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide the fundamentals of work zone safety
and to explain the basic concepts of flagging in a work zone. This includes reminders about
proper flagging equipment, placement of flaggers, appropriate use of standard signaling devices,
and methods of traffic control.
This tutorial is intended as refresher training for city, town and county public works crews, road
superintendents, and their seasonal laborers. This tutorial may also be useful to utility workers,
law enforcement officers, and emergency response teams who occasionally need to redirect
traffic. It is not intended to replace comprehensive instruction on the topic. Although this on-line
tutorial is designed for use in New York State, personnel from other states may use it.
Visitors to this tutorial should know that the NYS MUTCD varies slightly from the federal
MUTCD. Where differences apply, notes will be provided.
