What does a sign with a picture of a person with a flag and the word "STOP" indicate?

Construction zone ahead.
School zone ahead.
Stop sign ahead.
Traffic control person ahead.

The correct answer is: Traffic control person ahead.

A sign with a picture of a person with a flag and the word "STOP" indicates that there is a traffic control person ahead. This person will be controlling traffic and directing drivers to either stop or proceed. Option A is incorrect because a construction zone would typically have a sign that indicates construction and not a person with a flag. Option B is incorrect because a school zone would typically have a sign indicating a school zone and not a person with a flag. Option C is incorrect because it simply states that a stop sign is ahead, rather than a person with a flag specifically. The presence of a traffic control person can change the traffic flow and requires drivers to follow their directions.
