Summer Construction in the City!

Now that winter is really gone for the next few months the road crews are out in full force!

This is good because the roads will stay nice!

This is bad because it brings out the a-hole drivers and road ragers!

I was on the south side of the city coming home from work after a trip to the South Edmonton Common and thats when I found a constructions zone.

Now I know what you're thinking...the 23rd St overpass construction...NO not that one.

If you follow Gateway Boulevard all the way north to White Ave you will find the spot I'm talking about. They have the right lane and a turning lane blocked off just as you get to White. This shouldn't be that bad since there is still two lanes free.

Long before getting to the construction they have signs warning people that the right line is blocked. Lots of time to get over to the middle lane.

As I sat in traffic (I didn't have any vehicle advertising to read) listening to my MX Sat radio I started to notice that some people were still following the right lane and going by me and everyone else who were being responsible and staying the proper lane.

Turns out all the people traveling by the long line were cutting in line ahead of us making our lane slow to a crawl! I was not impressed! And the guy driving the 15 passenger van two vehicles behind me was not impressed either!

We were being the good guys and staying in the lane and these a-holes were cutting the line! For about a 5 vehicle stretch we tightened right up and didn't let anyone in!

I don't feel bad about not letting anyone in especially when we got close to the construction zone. They should feel bad for helping to torture US nice guys waiting in line!

This whole thing has made me think of the lunch line at school! Getting pushed by the bullies and such!!! Not fun!

Just think if your website was being advertised on your vehicle during that 20 min stand still!!! How much money could you have made?
