On-Line Flagging Tutorial
The Cornell Local Roads Program has developed a flagging and work zone safety tutorial for use on the internet. The tutorial is intended as a refresher for experienced municipal officials and staff, and as an introduction to flagging for community members and Web surfers.

The tutorial can be found at: http://www.clrp.cornell.edu/flaggingTutorial/flagTutorial.htm.

The developers of the tutorial intended to allow those who are unable to attend training workshops an opportunity to get training in another way. While the tutorial does NOT replace flagger instruction programs, it can help explain some basic concepts and test your knowledge of work zone safety with lessons and review questions. Visitors to this tutorial should know that the NYS MUTCD varies slightly from the federal MUTCD. Where differences apply, notes will be provided.
