What is the Guardian SmartFlagger?
A reliable traffic controller that never tires, never gets distracted, and works tirelessly to keep your crew safe. That’s exactly what you get with Site 20/20’s Guardian SmartFlagger. It combines innovative technology with user-friendly design to automate the task of flagging, effectively reducing risks on the job and keeping your people out of harm’s way.
Advanced Technology for Maximum Safety
We've built the most powerful AFAD on the market to keep your people out of harm's way
Site 20/20’s Guardian SmartFlagger uses advanced technology to keep traffic control personnel safe while providing traffic control with visibility and control over all ends of the work zone. This automation significantly reduces their exposure to roadside dangers, ensuring a safer work environment.
Remotely Operated,
Away From Danger
Remotely operate and monitor the work zone
When you enter a work zone with the Guardian SmartFlagger in use, you’ll notice one important thing: no humans in front of traffic. Using a tablet and live video monitoring, one operator can manage up to four units from a safe distance within the work zone.
Video Surveillance Improves Driver Compliance
Separate your team from conflict
Drivers are more likely to comply with traffic control when they see the Guardian SmartFlagger’s cameras. And with 72 hours of on-board video storage, your liability is reduced with the ability to create a record and review incidents after the fact.

Key Features
Advanced Connectivity
Site 20/20’s Guardian SmartFlagger uses GPS and a 5-way antenna to provide maximum connectivity to dependably run your traffic control operation. Local LAN and live traffic integration allow for remote operation to run the job safely from inside the truck and monitor remotely from the office.
Range of 500+ feet
Monitor cameras remotely from safely within the worksite or off-site through your Partner Portal.
Single-Truck Operation
A cutting-edge solution designed to enhance efficiency and productivity
At just 24″ wide and 155 lbs., the Guardian SmartFlagger is the smallest, lightest AFAD in the industry, making it easy for one flagger to transport, deploy and operate with one truck to any job site.
Easy To Deploy,
Simple To Operate
Lightweight and maneuverable
Site 20/20’s Guardian SmartFlagger is small enough to easily maneuver and deploy on most work sites. One pickup truck is enough to carry two Guardian SmartFlaggers and all the signs and cones needed for most jobs.
Engineered For Efficiency
Shrinks down for transport, expands for visibility
Thousands of deployments across North America have helped our product development team build an engineering marvel—easy to transport, but expands to 10′ x 10 when fully deployed with the detachable gate arm.
Smart Traffic Alert System
Staying ahead in traffic management means leveraging innovative technology, and the Guardian SmartFlagger is built for just that. With Google & Waze connectivity, this system instantly alerts nearby drivers of work zones, improving situational awareness and reducing the risk of accidents. Integrating this widely used navigation system helps reroute traffic efficiently and ensures that drivers are well-informed before approaching a flagged site. This proactive approach improves road safety and minimizes congestion in high-risk areas.
360-Degree Visibility
On-board cameras with night vision provide a live 360-degree view, giving you complete visibility of traffic on both sides of your work zone. What’s more? Store up to 80 hours of footage for later review and to help resolve on-site disputes.
Monitor cameras remotely from within the work zone or off-site through your Partner Portal.
Protect your team with video documentation of intrusions and incidents.
The Benefits of Guardian SmartFlagger
Cost-Effective: By using an automated flagger assistance device, companies can reduce the number of workers required for flagging operations.
Improved Job Site Safety: Traditional traffic control flagger roles place workers in high-risk environments. The Guardian SmartFlagger eliminates this danger by removing flaggers from the traffic flow.
Optimized Work Efficiency: Unlike human workers, the Guardian SmartFlagger doesn’t require overtime, travel time, sick leave, or accommodations. It provides consistent and reliable traffic management daily.
Reliable Off-Grid Operation: No cell connection? No problem. The AFAD flagger operates independently without requiring a cellular network, making it ideal for remote job sites or areas with poor signal coverage.
Improved Traffic Compliance: Ensuring drivers follow work zone protocols is crucial for safety, and AFAD systems significantly enhance compliance rates.
Application of Guardian SmartFlagger
Construction Sites: On busy construction sites, safety and efficiency are crucial. Guardian SmartFlagger seamlessly directs traffic around your workers, ensuring smooth vehicle flow and allowing your team to focus on what matters most—the job itself.
Electrical Projects: Electrical projects often involve risks that require precise traffic control. Guardian SmartFlagger provides clear, consistent directions to drivers, keeping traffic safely away from hazardous work areas and protecting your electrical crews from unnecessary dangers.
Gas Piping Utilities Project: When dealing with sensitive gas piping projects, every safety measure counts. Guardian SmartFlagger minimizes the likelihood of disruptions and reduces the risk of accidents, providing reliable protection to crews working on essential utilities infrastructure.
Telecom Infrastructure Work: Telecom infrastructure projects frequently occur close to active traffic, demanding vigilant traffic control. Guardian SmartFlagger ensures your telecom crews can perform installations and repairs without the constant worry of vehicle-related accidents, enabling projects to run safely and smoothly.
Water Line Maintenance: Water line maintenance tasks typically involve working near roads and public pathways. Guardian SmartFlagger effectively guides traffic away from active maintenance zones, providing a secure workspace for crews and preventing interruptions or safety incidents.
