TRAFFIC FLAG

A traffic flag typically refers to a flag used by workers or law enforcement officers to control and direct traffic in areas where there are roadwork, accidents, or other disruptions. The flags are often bright and easy to see to ensure that motorists can identify the presence of a flagger from a distance. Here's a general description of a traffic flag:

1. Color:

   • Red: Most common. It signals "Stop" or "Halt."
   • Green: Used to indicate "Go" or "Proceed."
   • Orange or Yellow: Sometimes used as a caution signal to indicate that drivers should be aware of possible hazards or changes in the road conditions ahead.

2. Size:

   • Flags are usually large enough to be visible from a significant distance, often measuring around 24 inches by 24 inches or larger, depending on local regulations.

3. Material:

   • Flags are typically made from lightweight, durable fabric, such as nylon or polyester, which can withstand wind and outdoor conditions.

4. Design:

   • Flags are generally simple in design, with no complex patterns or logos, to avoid confusion. A solid, bright color ensures maximum visibility.

5. Pole:

   • Traffic flags are usually mounted on a pole to help elevate the flag for better visibility. The pole can vary in length, but it's typically around 3 to 5 feet long.

6. Purpose:

   • Stop/Go: To control the flow of traffic, especially in one-lane situations or construction zones.
   • Warning: To indicate caution or a need for drivers to reduce speed.
   • Visibility: To make sure the flagger is clearly visible, preventing accidents and ensuring safety
