Traffic cones kill road workers. I will never set up a work site without using traffic barrels instead of cones, and if i see a cone on site you know its getting the "brother eughhhhh, WHATS THAT??!!!"

@@cielmylordphantomhive5346 We run mobile operations 24/7 and barrel our closures every single day but I'll admit it's on the busiest highway in the world. The shit I've seen out there it is 100% worth it. If it's too much work you don't have enough guys or enough crash trucks simple as that. Emergency closures like accidents and disabled vehicles obviously don't get barrels unless they're extended though.

I never get why company’s have the traffic control board in front of the cones and such when the back is solid and has nothing. To me, ideally I’d place it on the back for visibility otherwise it’s a waste of money to have it this this set up.

It’s how we are trained for temporary traffic control (securing car crashes, hazmat spills, downed trees, and other unplanned events). The thought is, you would rather a driver hit a cone to hopefully grab their attention to correct themselves, instead of rear ending you in the truck.

Well there was nothing easy about it mentally dealing with dumbasses. Then you get about three hours a sleep a night while working 20 hours a day sometimes then your on your feet all day and if your flagging your on your feet with out really getting to move. But that was my experience. I always told ppl it takes a special kind of stupid to do it. I got out of it a few years ago. But it will teach you patience and understanding.

Yeah most of those barrels would be considered defective here, they're only using one tire skin per barrel, and a bunch of dinky pylons - which are not considered a traffic control device in my area. Wouldn't want to work for a boss that doesn't take road worker safety seriously. Also we build our barrels with an attenuator truck behind us and just throw them out of the truck while moving. Much more efficient and safe than what they're doing.
