(It doesn't really need it, but there's gubmint stimulus money involved which has to be used.) The project is to take four months and signs are posted all down the road, especially at all the intersections. This is a very busy "country" state route...and a major route for semis, etc. Anyway, why do so many people think these signs are either lying or don't apply to them? I've been watching vehicle after vehicle come down the road (yes, even a handful of semis), only to end up slowing down and turning around...then racing away at high speed because they're pissed and/or running late now. We're about 1000 feet from where the work is going on, so our driveway is one of the major turnarounds for these tools and they're fucking up all the new stone we just put down last month. Anyway, we've gotten into the habit of saying to each other "Yes, it's CLOSED, douchebag!" when we hear a vehicle coming up the road. It's a game now. I just don't understand the stupidity of some members of the human race.
