One is the excellence of our traffic control flagger services. Credit the dedication of our team.

Our flaggers understand their primary responsibility — protecting work crews, motorists, and pedestrians, a mission they consistently perform with flying colors.

To fulfill this responsibility, our flaggers draw on a variety of skills. For instance, they must be expert communicators. Their method of communication, however, is unique. They don’t write messages for quick distribution. Nor do they speak volumes. No, when they have something to say, they say it with flag and hand signals, as well as with signs. Using this method, traffic control flaggers communicate warnings and directions to the throng of passing motorists and pedestrians in the vicinity. With a system of signals, they also relay information to other crew members. Indeed, they have a language all their own and utilize it with flawless proficiency.
Road Traffic Control
Flaggers for Hire
We’re all familiar with flagger lingo, particularly when communicated via signage. Who hasn’t seen a flagger raising a sign that reads ‘slow down’ or ‘stop’. Pretty hard to misinterpret that messaging.
It gets more complicated when road traffic control flaggers chat with each other. That’s where those flag signals really come into play. Don’t worry. Our flaggers are experts in flag language. That’s because long before their first assignment, flagger candidates receive a first-class education through our proprietary training program. Along with a wide range of other skills, students acquire a deep knowledge of flag messaging. To assure this knowledge is of the highest caliber, candidates must meet the safety requirements of OSHA in order to receive the necessary certifications.
Don’t think flag waving is the only concern for flaggers. Far from it. When dealing with the many challenges of traffic direction control, these experts must focus on a wide range of variables. Road conditions, for example, is a major focal point for flaggers. So is traffic flow, which as everyone knows, can change from one minute to the next. And then there’s the weather. Yes, meteorological conditions can have a major influence on a traffic control project. Our flaggers must be locked into all these variables and more. Clearly, superb concentration is a must.
Traffic Control Flaggers
As with all members of the Roadway Construction Service team, our traffic control flaggers have a certain amount of preparatory work to do. From the minute they arrive at a project site, the flagger crew gets busy with the preliminaries. There are more than a few … that’s for sure. The most important of them is getting in there and assisting with the setup process. This includes arranging traffic cones and traffic control signage. For good measure, flaggers also might be needed to help with maintenance duties and other basic jobs. Fortunately, they’re well up to the task thanks to the thorough training mentioned above. Doing it all, and more, certainly describes our team of road traffic flaggers for hire.
In fact, our flaggers also make major contributions after a project is done. You see, even then, it’s not quite time to kick the ol’ feet up and call it a day. That comes later. For now, disassembly is the necessary next step. Believe us, there’s typically a ton of stuff to disassemble. Traffic cones, traffic control barriers, signage, lighting, and array of other equipment is waiting to be removed, carried, and stored on vehicles. Carefully, and with a bit of finesse, of course. As we see it, there’s nobody more qualified to perform these disassembly duties than our team of flaggers.
California Traffic Control Flaggers
In California, a traffic control flagger faces unique challenges. In case you haven’t noticed, our neck of the woods is an extremely busy region. Plenty going on – night and day.

Flagger Strategy
As any member of this team will tell you, every project is unique, presenting its own distinctive challenges. A job may entail a basic lane closure or present a multi-intersection situation. It can involve various durations, with both long and short term construction traffic control as possibilities. For each project type, Roadway Construction Service must develop a precision traffic control flagger strategy.
Mixed in with this is the need for strict civic compliance. In a nutshell, flagger strategies, along with all other traffic control proposals, must conform to a range of municipal codes. Thankfully, our team has a leg up in this area thanks to their extensive experience and incomparable knowledge of the subject matter. They’re thoroughly familiar with the list of codes and regulations relevant to each project area. Furthermore, they know the key decision makers – and exactly what they expect from a project proposal. The upshot? Our planners consistently leapfrog the bureaucratic barriers and secure quick approvals. Always a big benefit for time-sensitive projects with tight budgets.
