  • Publication number: 20020104242
    Abstract: A flagger traffic control apparatus comprises a standard with a pyramidal umbrella mounted on the standard top end as one or more display panels with traffic control indicia thereon, typically traditional stop and slow signs. Because the display umbrella is large, it also offers protection to the flagger from sun and rain. A transceiver is mounted on the standard so a flagger holding the standard can continue to manage the sign apparatus while speaking into and hearing the transceiver hands-free. A second display panel, typically similar to the traditional flagger sign with “stop” indicia on one side projecting in concert with an umbrella panel with “stop” indicia, is mounted intermediate the standard. A third display panel, similar to the second display panel, may also be mounted on the standard orthogonal to the second display panel. A light, typically stroboscopic or flashing, on the top of the umbrella also aids is attracting the attention of the oncoming traffic.
