Most drivers in the US aren't aware of this but anything hanging/sticking out 24" or more (~60cm) past the taillights requires a red flag or lighting. By the way, there are a lot of things an ordinary driver doesn't know. For example, in construction sites, there is often a narrower lane. There are signs which ban vehicles which are too wide. The problem is that the car documents declare the width without mirrors, the law counts the mirrors as well. And most modern large cars are almost 2m without mirrors and may not use the "<2m" lanes! here, you cannot restrict a lane smaller than a legal size truck. if you have to squeeze the road narrower than two lanes of that size, you reduce it to one lane and use flaggers if it is a two-way road.

Looks like your road construction contractors do real work. Flaggers would starve on all the abandoned construction sites we have. Here, the contractor tears up the road first and then works on another new job only to return some day when they have nothing better to do.
