There is no excuse for a human flagger being on a US roadway. In 2009 the Federal Highway Administration included specifications for an Automated Flagger (AFAD) to the Manual Uniform Traffic Code (MUTCD). This device removes human flaggers from the roadway and eliminates human flagger errors. Contractors using human flaggers are taking an unnecessary risk.
