The Flight Leader will wave traffic past OR motion for the traffic to stop by extending either arm and displaying the palm of the hand with the fingers pointed upward.

On the command, "ROAD GUARDS OUT," each road guard will go to the lane as directed by the flight leader.

If carrying a flashlight, road guards will hold the flashlight in the extended arm with the beam pointed down. The Flight Leader will command the flight to march across the intersection and perform the necessary facing movements so they can observe the flight at all times. Once the flight is through the intersection, the flight leader will halt the flight and command, "ROAD GUARDS IN."

The Flight Leader does not give further commands (e.g., "FORWARD MARCH") until rejoining the flight. Road guards or formation leaders will report vehicles that fail to observe safety precautions or follow road guard directions. Cadets will report the time, place, type of vehicle, license number (if known), and description of the violation to their Flt/CC.
