FLAG RULES
YELLOW – caution. When a yellow flag is displayed, competitors must ride cautiously until they have passed the incident that caused the flag. In motocross when a yellow flag is displayed there is no passing or jumping between the flag and the incident that caused the yellow flag. Failure to do so may result in the rider being docked from one finishing position all the way to disqualification from the event, subject to the referee’s discretion.
WHITE with RED CROSS/Ambulance – indicates that ambulances, safety vehicles or emergency personnel are on the course. EXERCISE caution. In motocross, Arenacross, etc. should this flag (red cross) be displayed, riders will slow down, maintain position with no passing or jumping until past the incident. Failure to do so may result in the rider being docked by one finishing position up to disqualification from the event, subject to the referee's discretion.
RED – Stoppage of a race for any emergency situation or other reason.
WHITE – One lap to go until finish.
BLACK AND WHITE CHECKERED – End of race.
