What outer clothing does the Texas manual say a work-zone flag person wears?
-
A.
A yellow rain jacket
-
B.
A white shirt with red trim
-
C.
A blue reflective vest
-
D.
An orange vest, shirt, or jacket Correct
The answer is "An orange vest, shirt, or jacket"
The manual specifies orange outer clothing so drivers can spot the flag person against a work-zone background. A gets picked when drivers borrow the yellow high-visibility gear worn by school-crossing guards and carry it over from one roadway job into this different one.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. A yellow rain jacket
Yellow high-visibility gear is common for school-crossing guards, but the manual assigns orange to flag persons. This answer borrows the color school-crossing guards wear from a different roadway role.
B. A white shirt with red trim
White and red belong to some uniformed traffic officers, not to work-zone flag persons. This answer assumes flag persons dress like a uniformed officer directing traffic at an intersection.
C. A blue reflective vest
Blue is not the color the manual names for a flag person. This answer guesses that any reflective color signals authority, with no basis in the color the manual actually lists.
