Road Delays & Construction

I really, really hate when I'm driving along having a nice day, and suddenly run into "road construction". Of course they always make the construction as inconvenient as possible, right in the middle of rush hour.

The worst part is when they post police at both ends of the construction zone to help people "drive safer", when all it does is make idiots slow down to half the speed limit because they are scared to get pulled over! For some reason people on the highway turn into morons and need to slow down to 20mph whenever they see cops, accidents, or rainbows. Come on people, give me a break!

More annoying than that is when they have traffic only going one way, and leave it up to those "flagmen" to decide how long traffic will flow in one direction. Tonight I must have waited 10 minutes because the idiotic flagmen forgot that traffic also goes WEST on Route 30 in Pennsylvania! This is because apparently traffic lights in Pennsylvania have the shakiest power supplies ever. All the buildings have power, but not the traffic lights?! What's that all about?

Seriously why can't the department of transportation plan things out a little better, so that we aren't sitting around idling for half our commute because of idiotic construction. Don't even get me started on police and their ridiculous job descriptions either.. What is it with cops and speed limits anyway? This is the "land of the free", where you get nailed for all kinds of petty infractions on the road. Pathetic..
