If road construction crews blasted rock music wherever they worked, I wouldn’t be nearly as upset. Better noise pollution than a jackhammer.
They should perform it live and use the jackhammer as a bass drum
They did, they’re called the Village People
Sounds like a safety hazard though
What?? Can’t hear you over La Grange.
Edit: speeling

Jackhammers? Your road crews do actual work?
Witness protection Gandalf
That could be so many places in America, but dam if that doesnt give me Pennsyltuckey vibes. Swear I have waited on that same guy to flip the sign lol.
Wait so that guy is turning the stop sign around and then you can drive?
Yeah, the other side says “slow”.
Yea, one of the two lanes is likely closed for a lenghty stretch. So someone with a stop/slow sign at either end of the closure, who are on the phone or walkie talkie with each other. Bunch of peole go one way on the open road, then a bunch of people go the other way on the open stretch.
Probably hella annoying for locals as its big delay. But im a city boy and only see these on road trips, so Im usually in no rush, a good mode, and able to enjoy the scenery.
Is it not common to use temporary streetlights for that? This sounds great for short construction sites like a few days but for weeks on end something automatic should be cheaper no?
No idea about cost efficiency. These are usuallly pretty rural areas, so maybe they just never made the investment to buy temp ones? If it aint broke? Also I could see some problems with lights, like when someone runs the red and now two cars are stuck facing each other on one lane.
Iunno.
They said my job could be done by a traffic cone, but a cone don’t look this good in a vest!
On a related note I’ve always misheard this song as ‘Shy best man’
Every girl’s crazy bout a souped up van.
I mean, it was the early 80s
I could see doing up a van like the hot rod in the music video.
