The common anecdotal analogy is to equate flaggers with crossing guards.
In a number of states, they aren't legally equivalent for the purposes of state labor law.
Go here: http://www.gpo.gov/davisbacon/davbacsearch.html leave it as All States, limit it to Highway Construction keyword Flag, and you get about 30 results, about half of them are flagger, or flag person wage rates that the Feds have to pay.
best bet, hit ctrl-f then flag when looking at each document.
