Have a bro’ in law who had this job; said it was the most dangerous one he ever had; that people were very rude for him doing his job; even at times wanted a rowe.
So it is the courageous too that can handle this job with a smile. People need to understand, they are keeping everyone safe and sustaining their lives so we can all have safer roads…Stop and think about this people please!

Agreed.

Also works out when you get the easy stuff during any kind of tough group work.

I agree, I worked with road maintenance last summer and although it was nice that we switched positions occasionally, I dreaded when it was my turn to hold the stop sign. I think the worst are the old people that just shouldn’t be on the road anymore, followed closely by those who get angry that we are making the roads better for driving because it slows them down for a little bit. But I did have enough fun to pull me back next summer.

I used to work Road construction one summer during college. It was the greatest job ever and I can say from experience that the stop sign goes to the new guy! I don’t know how many miles of road we put down that summer, but it was one of the best I have had. The guy holding the sign also holds the life of the workers and everyone driving in his hands also. You have to be able to control the traffic to ensure everyone is safe. Sometimes you get lucky and get to have a truck with a radio next to you, or else you might just be out there on 120 degree pavement in 90 weather with nothing to do but count the cars!
