Yellow bridge flags eliminated
Mmr Indicator Description
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) bridge inspection procedures require that "Flags" be issued to report the existence of conditions that pose a clear and present danger, or conditions which, if left unattended for an extended period, would likely become a clear and present danger.
A "Flag" is classified as either a Red Flag, Yellow Flag or Safety Flag.
Yellow Flag is used to report a potentially hazardous condition which, if left unattended beyond the next scheduled inspection, would likely become a clear and present danger. A Yellow Flag is also used to report the actual or imminent failure of a non-critical primary structural component, where its failure may diminish the reserve capacity or redundancy of the bridge but would not result in structural collapse or a clear and present danger.
