What it means
Flag signal (SS2): slow down. The flagman shows the stop signal and then the proceed signal. Reduce your speed through the hazard and be ready to stop.
What to do
- Reduce speed smoothly when you see the stop signal followed by the proceed signal.
- Be ready to stop if the flagman changes the signal.
In the K53 test
Slow down is shown by the stop signal followed by the proceed signal. The up-and-down wave is the warning signal, a different sign. Expect it to lead to a full stop at single-lane working.
Where you will see it
At roadworks or where a person is controlling traffic with flags (for example animals crossing).
