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.

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 28
