There are strict federal OSHA rules governing lane closures that road crews have to follow based on posted speed of the road, the faster the road the more lanes they have to close. The rules were put into place because of how many flaggers and road workers were being plowed down by careless motorists who were in a hurry and didn't want to respect that 1/2 lane closure, and that was before cell phones.
I just wish there was better communication in advance on these jobs. My husband used to work in roads and I am willing to plan for a delay so some other husband gets home alive, I just want that warning so I can plan for the delay.
