Before we get to the the practice demonstration, there are a few things that we would like to point out.

 

X does not mark the spot
In the real world a flaggers position is not a specific spot on the road, where X marks the spot to stand. You need to recognize safe and unsafe areas of the road, and choose a safe place to stand, while traffic moves through the area. No part of your body should be in the path of moving traffic, including the stop/slow sign. When traffic is stopped you may stand in the closed lane, but not too close to the open lane, you do not want struck by a vehicle from behind. The computer takes into account all the safe areas and the not so safe areas.

 

Recognize the safe area
You need to recognize the safe areas for the flagger to stand, so view the flagger puppet as yourself, and in this situation choose the correct position/location.

 

Practice
You may practice by going to the next page and there is a practice section right before starting the exam. We encourage you take the opportunity to practice. Practice sections include Help screens and Audio files. The final exam contains no Help, you are only allowed to miss two of the questions during the test. If you choose to practice now, you may not know the answers, but all the information is presented in the class and you can practice again before the test.

External Mouse
An external mouse is strongly recommended, student will have better control to properly position the flagger puppet.
