Veelgestelde vragen
Can a Saskatchewan security guard direct traffic?
Guard work can include directing traffic on private property. On public roads, drivers must obey police and flagpersons, so only direct traffic there if you are trained, designated and part of an approved traffic control set-up.
Does this course make me a certified flagperson?
No. It is background knowledge only. Get the training your employer and the job require. On Ministry of Highways contracts, the contractor must also have a Traffic Accommodation Supervisor with a certificate from an approved course.
What is the speed limit past workers in a Saskatchewan work zone?
Drivers must go 60 km/h or less when passing a worker, a flag person or equipment with a worker on it, and obey the posted speed through the rest of the zone.
Which manual sets up work zones on Saskatchewan highways?
The Ministry of Highways uses the Traffic Control Devices Manual for Work Zones, along with its construction manual and traffic accommodation specifications.
