Appropriately equipped flagger means a person other than a train crew member who is equipped with a vest, shirt, or jacket of a color appropriate for daytime flagging such as orange, yellow,strong yellow green or fluorescent versions of these colors or other generally accepted high visibility colors.For nighttime flagging, similar outside garments shall be retro reflective. Acceptable hand signal devices for daytime flagging include ‘‘ STOP/SLOW’’paddles or red flags. For nighttime flagging, a flashlight, lantern, or other lighted signal shall be used. In as much as Part VI of the Federal Highway Administration’s Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices addresses standards and guides for flaggers and flagging equipment for highway traffic control, FRA recommends that railroads be aware of the standards and follow them to the greatest extent possible.Copies of the latest MUTCD provisions regarding flagging will be available from FRA, as well as FMCSA, as changes are made in this area.
