Areas where Habersham County road crews are working should be safer now that a dozen members of the road department have received additional training in traffic flagging.

Public Works Director Jerry Baggett said the county was able to provide that training through a partnership with the state.

The training, provided through the Georgia Department of Transportation, saved county taxpayers some $3,000 it otherwise would have cost to train the road department employees.
