As a leading maker of traffic safety products for over 50 years, Yoo Shing understands the critical role flagger ahead signs play in protecting road construction workers. Our high-visibility Flagger Ahead signs alert drivers to be cautious, slow down, and obey the flagger directing traffic through the work zone.
With work zone fatalities on the rise, it’s more important than ever to deploy proper warning signage. This blog explains why distributors should expand their offerings with our Flagger Ahead signs to keep crews safe and projects on schedule.
The Dangers of Road Construction Work Zones
Road construction workers face serious hazards on the job. They operate heavy machinery, work next to traffic traveling at high speeds, and perform tasks in half-built roads and structures. Tragically, over 100 construction workers are killed in work zone accidents each year. Another 20,000 are injured.
Driver inattention and speeding through work zones are major factors behind these incidents. Without adequate signage, drivers may not see workers in time to slow down or stop. Other drivers get impatient with delays and recklesslessly zip through the area.
Flagger ahead signs are a simple, proven countermeasure to prevent collisions with workers. The signs alert motorists that a human flagger is present directing traffic and that maximum caution is required.
The Yoo Shing Flagger Ahead Sign Advantage
As a distributor, you can supply your customers with flagger ahead signs that combine optimal visibility, durability, and ease of use. Key advantages of our Flagger Ahead sign include:
Engineer-grade Diamond Grade prismatic reflective sheeting provides 1-mile visibility when illuminated at night – the highest on the market. Fluorescent orange color draws immediate attention.
Durable aluminum construction withstands up to 100 MPH winds and withstands outdoor elements across extreme climates. Signs stay upright and visible.
Lightweight design makes signs easy to transport, set up, reposition and store between uses. No special equipment needed.
Universal mounting holes fit any standard sign post. Brackets sold separately.
Custom sizing available starting at the common 18”x24” dimensions. Other options include 24"x30" and larger.
Meets MUTCD reflectivity standards for daytime and nighttime use. NCHRP-350 crashworthy compliant.
Made in the USA with high-quality, domestically sourced materials. Fast production and delivery.
Full replacement warranty against defects or damage not due to external causes.
With maximum visibility day and night, toughness, light weight, and ease of use, our Flagger Ahead signs outperform basic plywood alternatives and imported knock-offs. Drivers see these signs sooner, allowing more time to slow their speed. Construction crews stay safer as a result.

Yoo Shing’s Flagger Ahead signs are ideal for these common situations:
Temporary daytime utility work near urban roads and intersections.
Major highway construction projects with lane closures.
Paving operations on rural two-lane roads.
