In the alternative traffic control could be affected by the use of temporary traffic signals at two ends of the narrowed section.

Flagger

The flagger must be wearing a reflective safety vest for visibility and also to enable driver to identify the flagger as a person authorized to direct traffic.

To direct traffic the flagger should use the red and green flags or the stop and go signs. The flagger should not wave his arms traffic but should use flag or signs and hold them steadily so the driver can see and understand the signals given.
