When collisions between vehicles, pedestrians, or workers take place in construction zones where a traffic management plan calls for flaggers to safely direct traffic, the question of who should bear liability for the collision, and to what extent, can be complex and difficult to reconcile.
In work zones involving roadway construction, traffic management plans are generally required to be prepared in advance to adhere with regulatory requirements and often include stamped engineering plans that are used to obtain required permits from local authorities.
