Question 3808
A traffic officer driving ahead is displaying a red flag. What is it indicating?
- That the roadway is open to traffic again.
- The need to exercise extreme caution due to a nearby hazard.
- That the roadway is temporarily closed to all vehicles and road users.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That the roadway is temporarily closed to all vehicles and road users.
Once the officers’ vehicle carrying the red flag passes, the roadway is temporarily closed to all vehicles and road users. Only those the officers are accompanying or escorting may continue. The yellow flag calls for extreme caution near a hazard, and the green flag reopens the roadway.
