"There has to be someone here that works on the roads can answer this Why put out 20 miles of cones for one bloke and his shovel ?" Because road works are planned well in advance, they must close the lanes or roads in the aged dates. They often have to wait then for the crew to finish the job they're working on before they can start that one. They also have to allow hair the job running late. It's not rocket science, just planning. Someone watching you work probably thinks you spend all day on fab. | |||

"Does that one man and his shovel not deserve to be safe? Especially if he's hot. " What if he's not hot, what if he's old, unshaven, with trousers falling down so you can see his bum cleavage? | |||

"Most Highways Agency and Highways England contracts are carried out on a risk-reward contract template called ‘lane rental.’ When you bid you say how long you are taking possession of the lane for too within your tender. If you run over you face heavy penalties… finish earlier than planned and you keep the unspent labour/resource costs. There is money to be made but also risk of weather, delays, pandemics etc so it’s a fine line. Most operations within those lane rentals require a lot of stakeholders… surveying, quoting, risk assessing, drawing up a scope, destructive testing, doing the work, additional works, snagging, and signing off… who can’t all be there at once, and often have to be sequenced, so the lane stays closed until all elements are done and handed over. It’d be lovely if they could be closed off as and when needed but at £750-£1500 per mobilisation for a RASWA accredited traffic management company it wouldn’t be the best value for the taxpayer instead of leaving them shut.

Here was me, hoping for a lie in on the one week of my adult life when we are sans child, but no. I got up earlier than usual and got home later. And I'll have to do the same again tomorrow.
