Considering I don't drive, I am not at all sure I have such a bee in my bonnet when it comes to road works. Still, it keeps me amused.
This one is a bit of a corker, right in the High St, causing traffic to back up in either direction. With four bus routes being affected, not to mention all the other traffic, I was really glad I was only walking to the shops.

Usually, our worst time is summer. The roadwork is the worst cause everyone is moody, cars overheat. We see that alot.

@WendySpickerman That's true, now you mention it, any kind of heat and the roads become bad for your health

I enjoying walking or even biking on my outings but sometimes the roadwork makes even that impossible and unsafe.

@Ronrybs Here many don't even care about the walk light, they think if their light is green and the walk light is on they have the right and that's not the case. I've had people even go around me walking across the street.

For some reason, here in Colorado, they seem to wait until tourist season to start tearing stuff up.

Road work is always a pain even though I'm a walker I still find it annoying. Especially when I live in a place where no one knows how to drive, when they see anything orange and white on the road people know how to drive even less.

Manchester seems to be one big roadworks lately and in some areas even pedestrians get diverted

I guess we should be glad roadwork is being done but it is a pain. Especially when it is done near where one lives.
