I've held signs. It can be boring, it can also be complicated if you've got a 4 or 5 way intersection. It is important and risky, because the safety of the other workers depends on the vehicles going through the work site safety. Some companies mainly hire older and more responsible people for traffic control for this reason.
I wouldn't take a $16/hour job to hold a sign if I had no qualifications, because I'd be bored to tears.
