I'm all for keeping the workforce safe, we used to cut Christchurch bypass verges, the official rule was the slow lane closed off with cones, if cutting nearside and fast lane when cutting central reservations. Thats in a 70mph section, if it was below 70 we didnt have to cone off. The alternative was the 3 vehicle rolling road block, 2 transits with flashing signs, pointing left or right and a bumper lorry, flashing strobes etc.
That cost £2,200 + VAT for a day or part day.
Same with litter collecting.
Fair enough if the work is done at night, but why don't they flood the work with labour. When you do see people its never 40 - 50 more like 10.
