Long ago, I used to work for the Highway Dept. I wasn't a flagger, I was the guy with the clipboard watching the contractors do the work ;-) Considering the number of flaggers and highway workers injured or killed by being struck by cars ignoring the flags and signals, they're entitled to something more than minimum, I think. It's rather more dangerous than making french fries. We depended on the flaggers alerting us to reckless drivers approaching the site, among other things... -- Regards, -- Cal Frye, www.calfrye.com "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams."
