EO sticker spotted!!

it also amazes me the number of road works going on around adelaide ( and i expect other states) that do not place correct signage at such places to protect workers:
two lane road: ...one 25 sign..usually left side
leaving work zone: same or in some cases none,
Leaving work zone: very often they put up 50 when the road is in fact 60 zone.
Work zone with interconnection streets...oops the never..mmm rarely put speed signs in the side streets that enter into a work zone
Lazy Workers: it takes too much energy to go put up the signs that fell over due to gust of wind.
etc etc ...
imo councils workers are just as bad as contractors

who polices you lot to ensure you have it right..

I presume your reply is in reference to what I wrote.

In my case the signs are up 24/7 and it is not a construction zone.I can only answer for myself and not those in a construction zone. My worst offenders are parents, male and female, who are running late dropping kids off at school on their way to work.

The police police me.

why mention construction zone?

24/7...is it? do you leave them out for no reason, or is the zone being worked on 24/7 as well..or is it that the zone is still dangerous, or r u too lazy to pack them away for the night.

I am not disputing what you say about motorist dis-obeying speed restricted work zones. Yes i have seen it myself...but rather adding my comments that a vast number of traffic controllers restricting speeds for the so called safety of workers have got it wrong. two wrongs dont make it right but!...after all we are only humans!...as for the policing side in adelaide, no one wants to know about it ...the incorrect signage......motorists on the other hand in these situations (where the controller has only put one sign out (LH side of road)) risk getting nabbed by speed camera..with no come back if not alert.

I mention construction zone simply because all the other posts in this thread relate to a construction zone and in my case it doesn't.

The signs that I am refering to in my case are permanent fixtures saying when the speed restriction applies and as the majority of people that speed travel the road on a regular basis they know where and when they should be slowing down.

Only mention to a construction zone (slave's post) was saying IT WAS NOT a construction zone, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me again..wheres that dancing elf got too???

who...me?

extfilm,

Just curious with the 'lads' booking a few in the construction/roadwork sites - does your company/forman/boss/you have to supply a plan of the site with the speed limits and signage marked in?

I was travelling through a road works site on my way to work the other day. Heaps 'flying' through (was a 100kph down to 60kph) but the signs were very deceptive - if not confusing. They would reduce to 80 and then the 60 sign also indicated roadworks on the side road...Could have been taken as 60 on the side road and not the main road.....If I'm making sense...

G'Day Tim,

I can't comment on NSW regs but up here in sunny QLD (tic) anytime works on on near roads requires the reduction in the speed limit (or the inclusion of any other regulatory sign) a traffic management plan has to be submitted to the local or state authority - dependant on the road and a few other things - for approval prior to works commencing. There are obvisouly standards that are in place that govern how this is done.

Cheers
Scoey!

Gday
My son does the trafic management plans but he cant make people put up the signs in the nominated places..that is anothers job.....
