“I drove through a textbook perfect flagging operation today in Franklin County, FL. AWP Safety was controlling traffic for Duke Energy. This flagging operation had clean advance warning signs, spacing met the minimum standards, all cones where APL approved, and the Stop/Slow Paddles were perfect.”
