A good percentage of drivers simply do not pay attention to what they're doing or bother to look where they are going. This morning I was out helping my crew put up 4 spans of drop fibre along a busy highway. For each span we would block the driveways to prevent cars from entering and getting tangled up in the cable while it was being installed. Not even 2 minutes into getting the first drop ready did a driver perform a left turn into a fully blocked entrance that had a bunch of traffic cones and myself in hi-vis gear. The driver admitted that he did not even look at where he was going before completing a turn that he couldn't complete without hitting me. Being involved in telecom construction has taught me just how many drivers on the road are unsafe, and the number is not small. This is exactly why we scheduled this job for early on a Sunday morning: so that we could do the work safely while minimizing number of drivers around in an attempt to reduce the "stupid" factor. No amount of signs and flashing lights will help when idiots don't look where they're going. <sigh>
