Umarell - Wikipedia

Umarell (Italian spelling of the Bolognese Emilian word umarèl, Emilian pronunciation: [umaˈrɛːl]; plural umarî) are men of retirement age who spend their time watching construction sites, especially roadworks – stereotypically with hands clasped behind their back and offering unwanted advice to the workers.

 

 

Interesting, thanks.

 

I like the bit where it describes the onlookers as being paid to count the Lorrie’s and deliveries in and out of the job sites to make sure everything is in check.

Maybe they're the same people who work part time in the M25 roadworks?

It’s always been an issue - never better, never worse. 
 

One tip I will share for stopping pedestrians is the magic branch. Put up a barrier, string some tape across and they will snap it, however if you put a reasonable sized branch or two in front of said barrier 9 times out of 10 it will stop them in there tracks. The simple fact is that the lazy retards do not like lifting there feet and stepping over stuff - just try it, you will see what I mean

I've seen a heavy recovery youtuber who says that leaving a couple of chains on the road close to the rig has an amazing effect on how close cars get when passing him.  You can put out as many cones as you like and have as many lights as you like but leaving something solid in the work area seems to be what works.
