A construction flagger is directing traffic in a Nevada work zone. What must you do?
-
A.
Stop until the flagger leaves the roadway
-
B.
Follow the flagger's directions for everyone's safety Correct
-
C.
Follow the posted signs and ignore the flagger
-
D.
Slow down but proceed at your own judgment
The answer is "Follow the flagger's directions for everyone's safety"
The manual is explicit that flaggers are on the road to direct traffic and that drivers must obey them, framing it as a safety issue for everyone in the zone.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Stop until the flagger leaves the roadway
The manual tells drivers to follow the flagger's directions, not to wait for the flagger to leave. This answer confuses following the flagger's directions with waiting until the flagger clears the roadway.
C. Follow the posted signs and ignore the flagger
The manual does not rank posted signs above the flagger; drivers must obey the flagger. This answer treats posted signs as overriding the flagger, reversing the manual's obedience rule.
D. Slow down but proceed at your own judgment
Personal judgment does not replace the flagger's direction under the manual's rule. This answer substitutes the driver's judgment for the flagger's directions the manual requires.
