Misleading road signs, cones shutting down lanes with no one working, or road crews working with no flagman to direct traffic. We’ve all been there. It’s confusing, it’s aggravating and it’s adding to the mounting frustration that no matter how hard you pound on the steering wheel, you’re not getting to work on time. The risk for accidents rises greatly in these work zones. Even if they are clearly marked with signs and cones, some people just refuse to learn how to merge.
