Just drive thru them n flip off all the road pigeons wearing reflextive vests. Im the only vehicle in the bloody county; what the fuck do i need to stop for 20 minutes
That’s a safety thing. 10 mins of no traffic, followed by a short period of letting the traffic through and repeat. It’s usually only on sites where you are physically working on or in close proximity to the road.
As a roadwork labourer in the NT, this is so not true. Our actual work is so much different from this. We actually drink Carlton Drys when we're drinking on the job. Smh
I have to admit it here it seems like the same roads are forever under maintenance of construction. There is one part of the freeway that i swear to fucking god has been worked on for a decade straight and i for the life of me can't see any difference.
Get patrion for an extra dollar for a video a week also. Man's is busy at his other work probably, I recon quality over quantity. Cheers for the videos garn crew.
Doesn't have to be any potholes mate, a crew spent 3 days resurfacing a piece of street which ended up the same condition as before they started. Total waste of time and money.
@@maxpower7774 why do you numpties think it´s not done on purpose? stealing money fromthe budget by road monopolies. When something always needs to be fixed, it equals profit. So They´re not interested in fixing anything really. The workers have nothing to do with it.
The next street over has this part that is just a bunch of potholes and they come out and fill them in and the fkn rain washes the fill out and they do this like once a month and have for the 1.5 years I've lived here. It's fkn wild
Let me guess, 10 blokes standing around 1 man digging slowly, or a bunch of guys talking about something with their hands on their hips like they're doing actual work. 5 mins work, 10 hour Smoko ;)
Most of the jobs on any road site needs specific certifications so if you see five guys watching two guys work it's because those are the only two guys allowed to do that thing
@@desisiht5595 Don't ruin the fun with facts, dammit. In all seriousness though, that makes sense, but surely that is a little stupid, no? Is there no work-around? "You three; do this, you three; do that"?
Anyone who uses the Bruce highway between Burpengary and North Lakes can relate to this one... been roadworks there for over a year, I've seen people actually working there maybe 1 or 2 times and I drive past multiple times daily.
I like how you say "over a year" like that's a long time. A year where I live is fast. There's a road near me that's been in the process of getting widened since 2016 and still is only 2/3 done. Edit: I should clarify, that is entirely *WAY* too long for the work that is required. Even just the year you described shouldn't take that long, but with the lack of work being done, a year is a lot less time than normal. I'm amazed your road work takes that little amount of time because of that.
@@mrgw98 It's been longer but I can't remember when they started. And a year is a long time to reduce a 100kph highway that is the main road everyone uses to 80kph over a stretch dozens of K's long, through several exits, especially when no one ever works there and there's speed cameras in the 80 zone. It is a huge pest for everyone in the area. I wouldn't mind if anyone actually worked there and they got the job done quick, but as I said, I drive past multiple times daily and no one is ever working there and it's been that way for months at this point. Don't comment if you don't live here because you don't know what you're talking about
How bloody accurate this is making me laugh even more. There's a large road work close to me, I went away for 7 months, came back and they had put up a fence and moved around some dirt. Keep up the great content boys
I've always wondered if the other workers are jealous of the guy with the stop sign. He just gets paid to stand there while the other guys actually do shit
It's not just holding a stick. You've also got to avoid getting run over by mad cunts. Especially at night time works and ones in the middle of nowhere. It's can be pretty tough avoiding those angry motorists while you nap.
@@uhtred7860 isn't the traffic controller the one stopping the ones doing the "real work" from getting run over? Might not want to insult your last line of defence against becoming a pancake
Forgot the leaving up a 40 sign on a 80+ road after hours EVERY TIME, even though there's no one around, or anything even remotely on the road to cause any form of caution.
There has been a 60 sign up on the northern expressway in Adelaide, a 110 road, for 6 months and never seen a single person. Thankfully literally nobody slows down for it anymore
@@Caraxian My dad was in construction since he was a teenager, and lived to 77. Everytime we drove past a road work 40 sign he always would yell "It should be illegal to leave those sign up, or not cover them over after they're fine for the day".
@@socks2441 Yup same, I only follow them if there are workers walking on or near the road. Never once gotten a fine, it had anyone cranky at me. I hate fuckwits that go 40 at those signs or school zones at like 7-8pm...
@@socks2441i ignored the 5mph sign on a 55mph road while riding my motorcycle last week, they put a 5ft wide trench that was 3ft deep in the middle of the road were you could only drive around it on the side of the road, good thing is i was actually doing about 105 and somehow just flew over it without crashing.
Well, I live in Denmark, which is just about as far from Australia as you can possibly get without leaving the planet, and it's the exact same damn thing up here - for some odd reason, the powers that be have decided on a tradition of blocking off various streets regularly, so you constantly have to find a new and interesting route to work. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are many beautiful buildings etc. to look at while you're stuck in yet another totally unpredictable traffic jam, and I'm sure it builds character trying to convince yourself not to get out of the car and fly into an exceptionally violent fit of road rage while everyone around you are just as pissed and equally sick and tired of the whole thing, but it seems to me that they _could_ wait to block off the streets until they _actually_ have some lazy sod in a high vis. vest to stand around doing fuck all... Being stuck in traffic, because some muppet has decided to put up a barricade 6 months in advance just adds insult to injury. Reckon we could learn a thing or two from the Japanese, as far as I know, those guys have got road repair down like no one else.
These videos are hilarious. I live in Nevada US where the state flower is the "Big Sagebrush"... Inhabitants of the state say the state flower is the Road Cone.
Of all the funny worker ideas you have had, roadworkers is the best by a country mile. It's such a laugh seeing them sit around achieveing bugger all every day, this is the most relatable yet, especially if you live in Auckland and you have to deal with the shitty roadworks of Auckland Transport. Absolute nightmare.
bumpy roads are more fun, i honestly prefer them (as long as there are no actual pot holes, which honestly happen more in a brand new smooth road than an old bumpy one anyway. they always do a shit job of new tarmac.
Laugh all you like, that job security is Geelong City at its best. I shit you not, they build potholes INTO the new road surface (East bound Portarlington Rd Moolap)
''Harden the fuck up''... 🤣🤣🤣 you Aussies are funny as fuck. For some reason i got a few different channels in my recommended. For once i'm not disappointed. Love ya from the divided states of America...
@@studio2251 it is a good job with dam good pay but it does have it drawbacks. I worked on a highway division in canada and had to travel for 7 months out of the year. We worked 20 some days straight then took 3 days off but different companies work differnt schedules. I loved it when I was younger because I got to travel and party with all kinds of cool people. Every month or two your in a new town with new people.and new shit to explore. As long as you can handle long hours and being away from home, I would recommend it.
I drove through 8km of 40km p/h roadworks on a 110km p/h highway and at the end of the 8km realised not a single bastard was even working and nothing was even being done. It was just some traffic cones on the roads edge, well out of the way. No reason to slow down at all. Wtf
This shit is awesome. Of all the days i spent electrical spotting i didn't even have to pick up a shovel 😂😂 Or seeing traffic controllers so bored they're balancing the fucking stop slow bat on their face.
the beer hiding in the sand wheelbarrow looks legit - Vacuuming the Concrete Ha! reminds me when tha lady across the road used to vacum the Drive way No kidding true chit we laughed70s like my bro outlaw shh plays golf tells mrs 18 but we'd play 9 and hit the bar rest of the day L) 19th hole
i looked at the quality of this video and its in 4k (2160p) that might be why my computer is sounding like a jet engine but then again its australian wifi so i'm not really expecting much else that would make this good seeing as i have to wait for it to load every 30 seconds so a 3 minute 24 second video ended up taking 20 minutes
