Bill > HB4763

This bill establishes a procedure for the removal of "Flagger Ahead" signs and other similar warning signs on public roads in West Virginia, requiring that these signs be taken down within 30 minutes after flaggers are no longer present or work has stopped. A flagger is a person who directs traffic, often at construction sites or accident scenes. The bill outlines penalties for violations, starting with a warning and a $50 fine for court costs for a first offense, escalating to a $200 fine for a second offense, and a $500 fine plus court costs and revocation of a right-of-way entry permit for a third offense. This new regulation is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
