Raising the Red Flag On Road Flaggers, in Particular, Are Worker Safety Vulnerable in Heavy Traffic Zones As recently as September, a traffic flagger was killed on the job in a Queens, N.Y., work zone. It’s a crucial reminder that work zone safety never takes a backseat. And flaggers are among the most vulnerable road construction crew members. Laws are in place to control drivers in work zones, but contractors can do their part to protect flaggers. The 44-year-old woman was standing in a construction safety zone when she was struck in a hit-and-run accident, according to abc7ny.com. In October 2024, a female flagger was hit by an SUV in Lancaster County, Pa. Glare from the sun blinded a driver who was travel-
ing below the speed limit through a construction zone and fatally struck the flagger. “Every day our workers risk their lives in name of highway safety,” Marie Therese Dominguez, New York DOT commissioner, said after the September death. She called the accident “a stark reminder” to drivers to slow down, move over, pay attention, respect work zones and “keep all of our workers safe.” When accidents like these happen, drivers are reminded to take cautions. But what responsibility falls on state agencies to keep flaggers safe? see SAFETY page 30
