The manual tells you to obey special signs or instructions from which people in a work zone?
-
A.
Tow truck operators nearby
-
B.
Highway patrol dispatchers
-
C.
Workers acting as flaggers Correct
The answer is "Workers acting as flaggers"
The manual tells drivers to obey special signs or instructions from workers such as flaggers on site. Picking highway patrol dispatchers at B assumes traffic direction inside a work zone must come from law enforcement radioed in, rather than the flagger standing next to the cones.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Tow truck operators nearby
Tow trucks appear in the next paragraph under Move Over and Slow Down, not among the workers who direct traffic through the zone. Recalls the tow truck example from the paragraph just below, where amber warning lights trigger the Move Over rule instead of directing traffic through the zone.
B. Highway patrol dispatchers
The manual names workers on site, such as flaggers, as the source of the special signs or instructions. Highway patrol dispatchers are not the work-zone workers described here. Assumes traffic direction inside a work zone must come from law enforcement radioed in, not from the flagger standing next to the cones.
