I know the site of construction crew on the road delaying you from getting where your going might give you some mixed feelings and a few choice words, but please stay alert and slow down! A fellow co-worker of mine was hit by a pick-up going 45mph while he was stoping traffic. Luckily his guardian angel clocked in that day also, because after flying 15 feet and hitting the construction lights all he had was a broken leg, some teeth missing a few pints of blood lost. We had 2 car accidents happen on site, and personally I had 2 close calls with people not paying attention and hitting the cones next to me.

It may be a nuisance to you, but remember that these guys working on the roads have families that they want to go home to.

For sure, keep it to a safe speed. Glad your friend didn't get hurt worse....bad enough though. Hope he's OK.

Construction zones are probably the only place I actually do obey the speed limits..

(I dont work construction, but I can empathize with the road workers, being a truck driver - people love us just as much, especially going up hills)

Been working for a Surveyor / Engineer for 18 years now. Ever since I started working there I go out of my way to drive slowly through construction sites. We've had people swerve at the cones and try and 'shoot' them at us while working on the side of a road.

Glad your friend is still alive and hope he heals up quickly.

worked as a surveyor for 4 years, and yes, people need to slow down and pay attention. and on dusty gravel roads i really wish these younger kids would have a little respect and slow down even more and not speed up.

Sure feel for you all. Not sure what type of surveying youre doing/did but I was a rod man for 2 summers and its the crappiest thing Ive ever done. Worked mostly on strip jobs so road work may not be as bad.

I usually try to go the limit through construction. Thats one place that I do not want to get a ticket.

The fine for speeding in a construction zone here in Illinois starts at $350.00 and they use remote camera's -- if you kill someone, 10 years in the slammer is mandatory. According to the signs on our highways.

i do mostly boundary work but also road staking, location work, sub division layouts, setting pins running property lines inside, marking ...about everything i guess.

i started as a rod man for 3 months, then gun man for 1 1/2 years then crew chief for the rest of the time. road work is the easiest IMO but the most dangerous. anything involving boundary work/ property line or pin setting/marking can be some of the hardest physical work Ive ever done. surveying in the mountains sucks big time.

Thats how it it should be. No reason to speed thru construction sites. Been to too many accidents where Flaggers and workers got hurt or killed for no good reason at all.
