⚠️ You wouldn’t run a red light - don’t ignore a flagger.

Too often, we’re hearing about motorists harassing, ignoring, or even striking flaggers in work zones. These are real people doing their jobs to keep traffic moving safely. When you disobey their directions, you’re putting our crew and other drivers in danger.

We need you to take this seriously. Do your part. Stop when directed. Lives depend on it.
