The STOP/SLOW sign is an octagon 450 mm across on a 1.2 m pole, red on the STOP side and fluorescent chartreuse on the SLOW side.
Ontario TCPs wear a fluorescent orange garment with yellow stripes, and add silver stripes around the arms and legs at night.
Every employer whose workers face traffic hazards on a project must write a traffic protection plan and keep it at the project.
It is an offence for a driver to disobey STOP or SLOW signs shown by a traffic-control person.

Questions fréquentes

Do I need a licence to be a traffic control person in Ontario?

The construction regulation does not create a provincial TCP licence. It requires you to be competent and to get written and oral instructions from your employer, and Book 7 says TCPs must be trained in the manual.

Can a security guard direct traffic on a public road in Ontario?

A security licence gives no power over drivers on public roads. Guards may control traffic on private property. Directing traffic on a road is done by police, or by a competent worker on a road work project under O. Reg. 213/91.

What is the maximum speed limit for flagging in Ontario?

A worker may not direct traffic where the normal posted speed limit is more than 90 km/h.

What is Book 7?

Book 7 of the Ontario Traffic Manual, Temporary Conditions, is the MTO manual that shows standard layouts of signs, cones and traffic control persons for work zones.
