Safety at Street Works

[David Humphries]

We dismantled a roadside Plane yesterday & felt that we had the path blockage in hand with regards to signage & facilitating an alternative route for pedestrians.

 

As is the norm, some pedestrians appear to have arrived on earth pretty recently.

 

Particularly a couple of inter-galatics who I assume could only have been from Uranus

 

The aerial shot at the end shows where we were directing said pedestrians toward a safe passage that would take them all of an additional 45 seconds

(yellow line shows the alternative foot path, red lines are the barriers and target tree)

Unless you physically have someone stand in front of them and direct them and explain why and what you are doing and how much its costing and whether it was worth it and if the tax payer was paying and why therefore no they didn't have the right as a tax payer to byepass said directions and how the waste was being disposed of and if that was environmentally ethical and whether the tax payer would be compensated.......

 

They'll just walk on through the middle of it.

Looks good, I've even stood at places like that at stopped people but they just ignore me saying stop and waving my arms about..

For our works ( storm drains etc) if someone gets pedantic i tell them to interfere with our works is contravening the Tidal Water And Treatment act of 1954 (TW@T ). They generally leave pronto.

A pile of brash behind the barriers seems to help. The idiots will walk around barriers, duck under tape etc but the don't like lifting there feet to step over branches

HI DAVID i no this sound mad but just have 2/3 more chaps to stop some pedestrians coming around stop barriers its mad they around the barriers all the best jon

[Stubby]

We were doing something similar last year . All signs up , and plasic barriers . Along comes a jogger vaults the barrier rumns through the kill zone without a glance up , attempts to vault the other barrier , catches his foot and falls on his stupid face . I threw my hat down in dismay...........

All to common occurance... Worse still when they decide to stop under the tree when your mid cut and try communicating.... NOOOOOO!
