Most state on road construction jobs have a traffic plan and traffic suppervisor and train flaggers. The super jobs is to make sure all traffic signs ,cones and flaggers are up and working to keep the the traffic moving and safe.They also going back and forth threw they job checking for down cones and checking to make sure what they have set up is working right.Here in hawaii it seems like people just show and start flaagging and putting up signs with out any can of plan or train people to do it.The cops here that do traffic flagging here really do not have a clue how to do the job right.I have seen them with there back to traffic standing in the middle of the road ,run out iinto middle of 35 mph traffic to stop cars when the have been on there cell phone and realized that they need stop the traffic and I cant understand why they dont have flaggers paddles instead of waving there hands to stop traffic. from what i can see they are accident waiting to happen. I dont know why Hawaii does not take traffic control serously most states have state people who looks to make sure things are set up right and will shut the job down untill it is done right.Can some one tell me why they have off duty police flagging that are ready have a job when they could take some people and train them and give somebody a good paying job and maybe really care about what they are doing.
