  Notes for Figure 6H-10 – Typical Application 10
  Lane Closure on Two-Lane Road Using Flaggers
  Option:
  1. For low-volume situations with short work zones on straight roadways where the flagger is
  visible to road users approaching from both directions, a single flagger, positioned to be
  visible to road users approaching from both directions, may be used (see Chapter 6E).
  2. The ROAD WORK AHEAD and the END ROAD WORK signs may be omitted for shortduration
  operations.
  3. Flashing warning lights and/or flags may be used to call attention to the advance warning
  signs. A BE PREPARED TO STOP sign may be added to the sign series.
  4. A flagger or a law enforcement officer may be used at the highway-rail grade crossing to
  minimize the probability that vehicles are stopped within 4.5 m (15 ft) of the highway-rail
  grade crossing, measured from both sides of the outside rails.
  Guidance:
  5. Channelizing devices should be extended to a point where they are visible to
  approaching road users.
  6. Floodlights should be provided as needed to mark flagger stations at night.
  7. When used, the BE PREPARED TO STOP sign should be located between the
  Advance Flagger sign and the ONE LANE ROAD sign.
  8. When a highway-rail grade crossing exists within or upstream of the transition area
  and it is anticipated that backups resulting from the lane closure might extend
  through the highway-rail grade crossing, the temporary traffic control zone should be
  extended so that the transition area precedes the highway-rail grade crossing.
  9. When a highway-rail grade crossing equipped with active warning devices exists
  within the activity area, provisions should be made for keeping flaggers informed as
  to the activation status of these warning devices.
  10. When a highway-rail grade crossing exists within the activity area, drivers operating
  on the left side of the normal centerline should be provided with comparable warning
  devices as for drivers operating on the right side of the normal centerline.
  11. Early coordination with the railroad company should occur before work starts.
