Can a security guard act as a flagger on an Alberta highway?

Only if they are certified as a flagperson as the work zone manual and the contract require. A security licence alone does not make you a flagperson.

Who provides flagger certification in Alberta?

Your employer arranges it. The contract, permit or authorization for the job sets the requirement, so ask your employer which flagger course is accepted.

What speed applies where flaggers work on a two-lane highway?

The 2018 manual lists a 50 km/h work zone speed on two-lane highways where flagpersons or traffic lights control traffic. Always follow the signs posted at the site.

Do drivers have to obey flaggers in Alberta?

Yes. Alberta's roadside worker safety rules tell drivers to obey directions by flag people, and speed fines are doubled when workers are present.
