Yes. The 2026 MSA National ROK Sporting Regulations (5.6) use the standard Appendix H flags plus:
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Green with a yellow chevron | False start (waved at the turn 1 marshal post on the Chief Marshal's instruction) |
| Blue with a red diagonal cross, with your number | Stop: you have been lapped or are about to be lapped |
| Green | May also start warm-up laps or practice sessions |
| Black with orange disc, with your number | Used if your helmet strap, neck brace or overall straps look loose: secure them, then you may return to the track |
Other karting series can add flags in their own Supplementary Regulations, which are announced before the event.
