Road Construction... Really?!

You ever notice that Utah really only has two seasons every year? Winter, and road construction. Amen! Why is it that the same roads are redone every year, and sometimes the roads don't need to be fixed! Isn't the construction cone our state flower? They are doing a road near my house that they have redone two or three times alone in the last year. Why do we have to do the same road multiple times? Isn't there bettter things we could do with our time? No!! Lets dig up the road, and cause heavy traffic during some of the busiest travel times of the year!! Preach it! They redo these roads every year, and they ignore roads that need to be done! Hallelujah!! 

Another issue with road construction that I have noticed is they will put up their orange cones and then leave them their for days, before even doing anything. I have also seen cones put up and then a week or two later they were taken away without any work being done. What is the point of that? Is it some guys job to pick a random road and put up some cones to cause bad traffic for a few days, then go pick them back up? That sounds like a job you'd enjoy! Just to screw with people. 

And what about drivers? When there is construction it's like everyone forgets how to drive!! Hey, look a contruction cone!!! Oh No!!! What does this round wheel thing that i'm holding onto do!?!?! I better slow down to 2 miles an hour until I can figure it out! Why do people feel like they have to drive so slow when construction starts? I mean, I know they lower the speed limit, but come on! Just because there are orange cones on the side of the road doesn't mean we can't drive at a decent speed! Lets all slow down and gawk at the 20 people setting up cones, and the 1 guy actually digging! seems like a show to me!
