- No, only traffic officers are authorized to regulate traffic.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, in the absence of traffic officers, road work personnel are authorized to regulate the passage of vehicles.
Yes. If no traffic officers are present, a worker may control traffic through the road work section using a paddle displaying an official sign, such as the STOP sign in the image. That sign is just as binding as one mounted on a post, so you must stop.
