How should flags be displayed in multiple main track territory?

Flags should be displayed on the field side of outside tracks in multiple main track territory to ensure visibility and safety. Displaying flags on the field side helps workers and passing trains clearly see the signal from a distance, which is crucial for effective communication regarding work zones or any hazards present.

In multiple main track territory, there are often several tracks in close proximity, and proper flag placement can avert potential accidents. Flags placed inappropriately, such as alongside the same side as the main track or only in sidings, would not provide the necessary visibility to train crews who are required to react quickly to any warnings. Flags displayed anywhere other than the designated field side could create confusion or be obscured by trains or equipment, undermining the purpose of the flag as a safety signal.
