There were no workers on the road...just vehicles...each one of them a hazard to traffic travelling at much higher speeds. I truly don't buy why so many vehicles need to be involved.
You have no idea what you are talking about. I worked in the roads and traffic industry for most of my life and I have designed Traffic Control Plans related to that sort of mobile work you observed. There are so many errors in your assumptions/observations I won’t trouble you with detailed comments. I would say that the safe work methods used in that work are required by both National and State standards and have been refined and improved over the last few decades. One of the main reasons they are so onerous is due to the deaths of road workers caused by inattentive careless speeding drivers. This is a first world country where workers safety is highly regarded and not left to chance as it is in some of the countries you mentioned. Your hatred of Unions is irrational and way off the mark in terms of being the sole cause of these safety measures. My experience is that the managers of both private and public roads/construction organisations are the drivers of these safety improvements.
Well, I appreciate your comment and you are certainly entitled to your opinion as I am to mine. And no, you certainly didn't trouble me with any details. What you also failed to address was the question I posed in the video as to why 5 vehicles were required to paint 1 stripe versus 6 or 7....I guess we'll get there soon enough.
I think it all about insurance. A lot of people have been killed doing roadworks
