Accomplishments

I worked along with another flagger until January two seasons ago running traffic control in tough weather conditions on night shift for a grading crew in October/November.

In November/December I worked in the country on busy country roads and in small towns as well as inside Ottawa in multiple locations adapting to the new locations very frequently and accordingly for a coring crew. The coring crew was taking pre road redevelopment road test samples and we would run traffic on a moving taper in relatively harsh and non harsh snow/wind/rain conditions using the appropriate signage and necessary traffic control measurements.


I was one of the very last flaggers working

2 seasons ago.
