About this file
This is a specification amendment document issued by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for Section 105.14 regarding Maintenance During Construction requirements applicable to all VDOT projects under contract number cn105-000140-00. The amendment establishes mandatory flagger certification and communication standards for traffic control personnel on construction sites. All flaggers must possess a valid, current flagger certification card—either physical or electronic—and must be able to communicate with the traveling public in English while performing flagging duties. Acceptable certifications include cards issued by VDOT following completion of Basic, Intermediate, or Flagger-only work zone traffic control training courses, or cards issued by ATSSA following completion of a Flagger Certification Program. Cards from the VDOT Flagger-only course remain valid provided they were issued on or before December 31, 2024, and have not expired. The amendment is effective as of December 20, 2024.
Flaggers who fail to present a valid certification card or refuse inspection of their credentials upon request shall be immediately removed from the flagging site, and all operations requiring flagging shall be suspended by the Engineer until a certified flagger is available. Improperly performing flaggers may be subject to certification revocation at the Engineer's sole discretion. Operations may resume only after a certified flagger arrives on-site to perform flagging duties in accordance with applicable requirements. This amendment ensures standardized traffic control safety protocols across all VDOT construction projects and holds contractors accountable for maintaining qualified personnel.
