Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, because they are authorized to regulate the passage of vehicles in the road work zone.
Yes. Road work personnel may direct vehicle traffic through their work zone when no officers are present or to assist them, using a paddle displaying an official sign. The worker in the image is showing you STOP, so stop as you would at any stop sign.
