Hi Vis Safety Apparel for Road Construction Contractors

Seen in the work zone, day shift or night paving.

Road construction crews pave, mill, stripe and build roads and bridges feet from live traffic, often at night. We outfit paving, highway, striping and traffic-control contractors with ANSI Class 2 and Class 3 shirts, vests, outerwear and Class E pants, all decorated with your company logo.

What to look for in road construction hi vis

  • Class 2 or Class 3 in the right-of-way. Federal work-zone rules (the MUTCD) require ANSI Class 2 or Class 3 apparel for workers within the right-of-way of federal-aid highways. Many contracts call for Class 3.
  • Class 3 for night paving. Sleeved Class 3 garments, or a Class 2 top with Class E pants, give the most visible outline after dark.
  • Breakaway vests. Breakaway closures let a vest pull free if it snags on a paver, roller or truck.
  • Heat and cold. Cooling shirts for hot asphalt days; parkas and rain gear for cold and wet shifts.

Your contract, DOT specification and company rules always come first. New to ANSI ratings? Read ANSI Made Easy.

Road construction hi vis FAQ

Do road construction workers need Class 2 or Class 3?

The MUTCD requires Class 2 or Class 3 within the right-of-way of federal-aid highways, and many contracts specify Class 3 for night work and higher-speed roads. Follow your contract and company rules.

How do Class E pants work?

Class E pants aren't compliant on their own. Worn with a Class 2 vest or shirt, the combination meets Class 3. Shop Class E pants.

Can you print FLAGGER or our company name on the back?

Yes. We decorate in-house, from simple lettering to multi-color logos, with a 12-piece minimum per design.

How long do orders take?

Decorated orders take about 15 days, and blank (undecorated) orders ship in 3–5 days. Fall and winter are our busiest season, so order early.
