In some ways similar, but ultimately they can’t be governed by normal road laws.
Staffing at track days is pretty minimal anyway to your point, as midgetman points out.
They can use lights instead as flags, which I assume as controlled from the centre. There is CCTV around the circuit. Any slight problem and the whole session tends to be red flagged anyway. Overtaking, depending on level, organiser and circuit, is very controlled. Only at certain points, always either on the left or right side, on a straight and only with consent.
