ABOUT US

48+ Years of Keeping Communities Safe

Since 1978, Flag Safety Services has been Minnesota and Colorado's most trusted name in professional traffic control. From small projects to major infrastructure, we've been there.

Our Story

Flag Safety Services was founded in 1978 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, with a simple mission: provide safe, reliable traffic control that protects both workers and the public. What started as a small operation with just a handful of flaggers has grown into one of the largest traffic control companies in the Midwest and Mountain West.

Our founder believed that every work zone deserves professional traffic control, and that belief still drives us today. We've expanded to Denver, Colorado, and now operate with over 500 certified flaggers across two major hub cities and beyond.

But we've never forgotten our roots. We're still family-owned and operated, treating every employee like part of the family and every customer like a neighbor. That personal touch, combined with professional expertise, is what sets us apart.
