Flags & Paddles for Road Construction
Choose STOP/SLOW paddles when your traffic control plan calls for flaggers to communicate alternating stop and proceed instructions. The collection includes 18-inch handheld models with different handle designs. A separate STOP/STOP configuration is available for applications requiring that message on both faces. Compare paddle diameter, face markings, reflective materials, and handle construction before ordering. Verify applicable MUTCD requirements for the selected model.
LED Traffic Paddles and Construction Warning Flags
Choose LED flashing STOP/SLOW paddles when a powered signaling option is specified for your work zone. A listed model includes on/off tilt sensors. Verify its power requirements, operating functions, and reflective specifications. For appropriate manual signaling tasks, compare red or white construction flags with wooden staffs. Check flag dimensions, staff length, color requirements, and permitted use before purchasing.
How to Choose the Right Flagging Equipment
Start with the approved traffic control plan, operating hours, and number of flagging stations. For alternating traffic, compare STOP/SLOW paddles. For specialized instructions, confirm whether a STOP/STOP model is appropriate.
Before ordering:
- Confirm the required paddle diameter and message.
- Check reflective sheeting for low-light operations.
- Compare handle lengths and materials.
- Verify battery requirements for LED models.
- Select flag dimensions and colors required by the application.
- Calculate equipment quantities for each flagger and work zone.
Do not assume every paddle or flag meets the same MUTCD specifications.

Compare Traffic Control Paddle Prices
Prices depend on face configuration, reflective material, handle construction, and electronic components. Compare standard handheld paddles with LED models using their actual specifications. Confirm the selling unit before ordering.
Choose STOP/SLOW Paddles for Different Shifts
Compare reflective faces and LED options against your approved traffic control requirements. For evening or low-light work, verify the selected model's visibility features and permitted use. An LED feature alone does not establish compliance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between STOP/SLOW and STOP/STOP paddles?
STOP/SLOW paddles display different instructions on opposite faces, allowing flaggers to communicate stop and proceed directions. STOP/STOP paddles display STOP on both sides for applications requiring that configuration. Choose the message arrangement specified by your traffic control plan. Verify the selected paddle's dimensions, markings, and applicable MUTCD requirements before purchasing.
What size traffic control paddle should I buy?
The collection includes 18-inch traffic control paddles with different handle designs and signaling features. Before ordering, confirm the required paddle size, face materials, and handle length for your operation. Public-road flagging equipment must satisfy applicable MUTCD provisions and project specifications. Do not assume every 18-inch model meets every requirement.
When should I choose an LED STOP/SLOW paddle?
Consider an LED paddle when your approved traffic control plan calls for or permits a powered signaling device. The collection includes an LED flashing STOP/SLOW model with tilt sensors. Check the manufacturer's power specifications, operating instructions, and visibility features. Confirm that the particular model is appropriate for your intended roadway application.
What construction flags are available for traffic control?
Safety Supplies USA lists construction warning flags with wooden staffs, including 24-inch red and 20-inch white options. Available staff dimensions differ by configuration. Confirm the selected flag's color, size, material, and intended signaling purpose. For public-road flagging, verify whether a flag is permitted for the operation under applicable requirements.
Can I buy flags and paddles in bulk for multiple crews?
You can request a bulk quote for flagging paddles and construction warning flags. Prepare quantities by paddle type, handle configuration, flag color, and required accessories. Prices vary between standard and electronic models. For purchase order (PO) planning, confirm each product's specifications and final quantities before submitting your order.
