Road milling: Sunday Evening, 7PM Until Monday Morning, 7AM The main point here is to not need to look at the calendar to determine which day it starts. Also, stating the day and evening for start and day and morning for end.
The only issue is that if there are any issues that prevent completion, they may require an additional day or two to complete, but in no way will they continue working past 7Am. Therefore, they cannot put a definitive end date on the sign. Also, the sign is to be read by people who are driving by, so it must be as short as possible. "Work, Start date, working hours" has the right balance of relevant information and brevity.
Just to enrich Dave's challenge being from the UK: 1. I have no idea what you mean by Milling 2. I always get confused with your MMDD notation, we do DDMM 3. I have no idea how long the milling goes on for. 4. I have no idea if the road is closed, one lane, reduced speed or what. 5. I don't know if I need to drive differently.
Awesome video. One thing I would change is the title: Road milling. It is a bit technical for a lay-person, I myself have never heard that term in reference to roadwork nor seen it on signs anytime they would do road work in my state. The general term “roadwork” would suffice or Roadwork (milling) Even though being specific is important, you would want the most amount of relevant people to know. Reminds me of how Elon Musk banned employees from using acronym jargon at Tesla, since it stiffened communication between colleagues
