Construction zones- In city and or Hiways

Hello,
IM A FRIEND OF Girlygurls... and I work on a construction crew. We work mostly on the freeways but Im here to request caution to all the drivers... Of course I can not request caution from people who drive regular cars/trucks because they dont seem to care or acknowledge how truly dangerous it is for us (as in you, Truckers & the crew, us) out there.
Last week I was working on a bridge with a steep slope and noticed NO ONE AND I MEAN NO ONE slow down for us. The patrolman said he gave 10 tickets out in a matter of 2 hours just thru our site.

Im a female with hair right below my shoulders and when a truck drove passed me I could have sworn he was close enough that my hair hit the trailer, He too was flying thru...
All we ask is for a brake and caution when driving passed us. We trust in you to keep us alive and WE TRULY DONT want to hold you up or keep you from traveling. We all notice your speed and appreciate the "slowies", we REALLY do....Thanks for taking your time and being safe.!! Julz

 

Thanks so much you guys/gals... She and the rest of her crew really appreciate the caution(s). I too used to work on the freeways and it can be brutal at times. Because of the mountains they cant slow to anything under 55 but it would sure help even if the cars slowed a bit. I also worked with some of the dump truck drivers that couldnt speak English and that was difficult for us all. The crew was very frustrated and the drivers chose to do it "their" way because they couldnt understand the instructions.
A few were signed out and cried raciest but if you are a potential hazard on the job, we cant afford to be killed. Learn English please!!! RANT!!!

Oh, try and stay in your lane dont veer off onto the shoulder to much- I have picked up some very sharp objects !!!

 

Very true comment!! Between Officers, Tow crews and even people who are trying to fix their own flats, people just dont think or care.
If someone on the road just happens to trip or fall accidently.. Its all over and its gonna be ugly!!!
It happenes with cycles too, they ride so close to the white line when there is no bike lane, so scary to me because I remember back when I was young I fell off my bike into the road and if a car wouldve been there...yikes!! It doesnt take but a second to kill someone.
