Control a lane with MUTCD flagging

Practice the MUTCD 6E flagger order from work-zone training. Traffic is not released until the opposite flagger has stopped their direction and the work area is clear.

1. Don required high-visibility PPE.
2. Stand in the taught location with the STOP/SLOW paddle.
3. Do not use a flag unless the MUTCD or plan allows it.
4. Stop your direction first and make eye contact.
5. Communicate with the opposite flagger before releasing anyone.
6. Release only one direction through the work area at a time unless the plan says otherwise.
7. Do not turn your back on live traffic.
8. Hand the station off before leaving the paddle unattended.
