Overview

Flagging Services | ATSSA-Certified Flaggers | MD, DC, VA

Flagging services from R&R Contracting — ATSSA-certified flaggers for construction, utility, and emergency work zones across Maryland, DC & Virginia.

Flagging services from R&R Contracting deliver ATSSA-certified flaggers to work zones across Maryland, Washington DC, Virginia, and the greater Mid-Atlantic. Whether your project needs a single flagger rotating a rural lane closure, a paired flagging operation on a multi-lane shutdown, or a pedestrian management team keeping crosswalks safe through a signal outage, R&R supplies trained personnel ready to deploy. General contractors, utility companies, and municipalities work with us because flagging is a trained discipline — not just a position — and we staff every post with crews who know the standards.

What Our Flagging Services Cover

R&R deploys flagging crews for the full range of road, utility, and construction work zones.

Single-Flagger & Paired Operations

One-flagger configurations for short or low-volume closures, and coordinated paired-flagger setups for two-way-lane shutdowns that require both ends of the work zone managed in real time.

Pedestrian Management & ADA Crossings

Sidewalk closures, ADA-compliant crosswalk diversions, and controlled pedestrian routing around active construction or utility work. Flaggers trained to manage mixed vehicle and foot traffic safely.

Intersection Control During Signal Outages

Emergency and planned signal-outage intersection management with flaggers coordinating the flow of traffic in all directions until utility or DOT crews restore the signal.

Event & Emergency Response

Flagging support for scheduled events, storm response, utility emergencies, and rapid-mobilization situations where traffic control is needed outside of a scheduled work zone.

Construction Flaggers for Every Project Type

R&R supplies construction flaggers to every flavor of job site — utility line installation, water main work, bridge maintenance, road resurfacing, telecommunications trenching, emergency excavation, and general building construction. Our flaggers are trained to coordinate with the GC’s site team, adjust position as the work progresses, and maintain the work zone through shift changes and weather events.

ATSSA Certification & Crew Training

Every R&R flagger is ATSSA (American Traffic Safety Services Association) certified — the industry’s primary standard for traffic control personnel. Certifications are current, documented, and available for audit. Crews rotate on shift cycles that meet state fatigue guidelines and are re-trained on MUTCD updates as they’re published.

Turnkey Flagging or Embedded Flagging Labor

Need a fully managed flagging operation? R&R delivers turnkey — plan, flaggers, signage, barriers, and coordination through breakdown. Have your own work zone already set up and just need trained flagging personnel to extend your crew? We supply certified flaggers for the hours and shifts you define. Either model, the flaggers on your job site are R&R employees, trained to our standard.

Service FAQ

Are R&R's traffic control crews ATSSA certified?

Yes. Every R&R traffic control crew member holds current ATSSA (American Traffic Safety Services Association) certification. Our work zone setups follow MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) and state DOT standards. We maintain certification records for every worker and can provide documentation for project compliance files.

Are R&R flaggers ATSSA certified?

Yes. All R&R flaggers hold current ATSSA (American Traffic Safety Services Association) certification, which is the industry standard for flagger training and is required on most DOT and federal-aid projects. We also provide OSHA 10 documentation for every crew member.

Can R&R handle emergency or short-notice traffic control?

Yes. R&R maintains crews available for both scheduled projects and emergency call-outs. We can deploy certified traffic control personnel on short notice for utility emergencies, road hazards, and unplanned lane closures. Our 24/7 deployment capability ensures your project stays compliant and safe even when conditions change unexpectedly.

What does turnkey traffic control mean?

Turnkey means R&R handles the entire traffic control scope — not just the flaggers. We provide planning, equipment, setup, active work zone management, and teardown. Every crew arrives with proper signage, channelizing devices, barriers, and night-work lighting as needed. A traffic control supervisor coordinates directly with your site team throughout the project.

Can R&R provide pedestrian management for urban construction sites?

Yes. Urban pedestrian management is one of our core services in DC, Baltimore, and the broader DMV. We handle covered walkways, sidewalk closures, pedestrian detour signage, and flagger-directed routing around active construction, in coordination with local permit requirements.
