Signalized Flagman with Gate

Has anyone seen these in operation yet?

When the gate lifts the signal flashes Yellow.

I saw my first one in northern Ohio about 20 years ago.

I was about to say I remember seeing these somewhere in Ohio. Maybe in the Toledo area.

Kentucky is using a variant of these more frequently, most often for steel drilling/break repair jobs on lightly-traveled rural roads.

I posted a thread about those in 2013 when I saw one on Shreve Road here in Fairfax County. Still the only time I've ever seen one. My initial post in that thread originally contained a video, but it's no longer online and I'm not motivated to root around on my external hard drive trying to find it.

Don't look for it.  If it's old better to not revive a thread and just go with a new.

I've never seen them before as this was a first here in Florida.

Just as pilot cars are the norm in Kansas, if they came here it would be new to us down here as we don't use them.

Hey, man, anytime I'm led to thumb through a thread in which Jake Bear was posting—that's A-OK in my book.

Also, thanks to the link to the older thread, I was led to the appropriate section of the MUTCD.  And I see that they are indeed required to have a steady yellow phase preceding the solid red (cf Standard 08).

I think I saw one with a stop sign once.

Just like Emergency signals turn steady yellow before red.

I didn't mean I'd revive the old thread just to re-post the video. I would have posted it here. But it would take a while to find it, and I recall it was somewhat grainy anyway. Your photo is a clearer image.

I was playing around on GSV and happened to come across this very similar one, though someone is standing here and I don't know if the gate has to be manually moved or not. This is The Dalles Bridge between OR & WA.

WSDOT has started using these a lot; however, they still require an actual flagger to accompany them for some reason (construction companies love to complain about that). Though it seems like that one was being used for an ODOT job, so maybe they have the same requirement.
