So I'm completely obsessed with these "roads". The typical trend is to build houses on slightly higher grade for drainage, with the roads receiving the runoff and transferring it to a retention pond. Since these roads haven't been paved, the rainy season render them into canals. The flag is there to indicate where a man hole will be, or maybe there's already one there and it's covered by water.
I also got to see a snake swim across one. It was too far away to identify it but this being Florida, I'm not going on a snake hunt.
There was also this seemingly random fence separating the plots.
