Police have poors to beat; they ain't got time for traffic control.

I’ve made traffic control plans for road construction and depending on the locality police are rarely involved with traffic control. This area clearly looks like the state’s DOT right-of-way, and these might be contractors in which case they are required to submit traffic control plans to the DOT and DOT confirm if it for safety. However, contractors have to actually execute the plans in the field. This could be a case of bad plans or a site supervisor who didn’t check the original traffic control plans matched with what was on the ground.

He likely blacked out from the whiplash. I hope he got checked out at the hospital. Soft tissue injury can take a few days to register, especially whiplash.

It's so awesome that stuff like this comes in a can, now anybody can be conveniently compliant.

What’s the hinged metal piece in the upper left? Those nails aren’t supposed to go in those holes are?

Yeah no joke, wear your goddamn safety harness. That guy looks like he got hella whiplash.

Hard to tell from the video, but it doesn’t seem likely that the trucker is at fault here. The work crew seems to be trying to cheat and avoid lane closures, but they’re operating the bucket too low for that. There’s probably a middle manager somewhere who decided that lane closures were too expensive and unnecessary, standard procedure be damned. People forget safety rules are written in blood.

Yeah like what was their conversation like pfff what are the chances of a lorry on a road one in a billion probably

No? They're turning onto the road from a right angle. The truck absolutely didn't just drive around the "safety car", if that's what it is.
