18 in x 18 in Orange Safety Flag Caution Flags for Construction Sites

Our review of these 18 in x 18 in orange safety flags looks at whether they really add a layer of protection for roadside workers and oversized-load crews. In short, the flags are aimed at traffic controllers, construction crews, and drivers escorting oversized loads who need a simple, reliable visual signal. The single biggest reason to buy is the highly visible fluorescent orange material combined with sturdy 24 in wooden dowels, which together create a flag that is easy to see and easy to handle for roadside flagging duties.

Key Features

• High visibility fluorescent orange: The bright color is quickly and easily recognized by motorists, improving on-road signaling clarity.
• Durable construction: Jersey knit polyester or vinyl-coated nylon mesh resists fraying and holds up to wind for longer service life.
• Sturdy wood dowel: The included 24 in wood dowel gives a comfortable hand hold for controlled flagging and vehicle mounting.
• Heavy duty staples: Staples secure the flag to the dowel so the attachment stays intact during repeated use.
• Convenient multi-pack: Sold in packs intended to save time and money by supplying multiple flaggers or spare flags.

Who It's For

These safety flags are for traffic controllers, construction site personnel, and drivers who escort oversized loads in jurisdictions that require a visible flag for load compliance. They are also useful for event staff and parking attendants who need a quick, portable visual signal.

Those who need a permanent mounted sign, an LED lighted signal, or a flag smaller than 18 in x 18 in should look elsewhere; this product is purpose-built for handheld roadside flagging and vehicle mounting using a 24 in dowel.

Pros & Cons
