What do you think when you come across construction on the road with traffic control professionals?

I ignore traffic controllers if they are not properly traffic controlling. It is required by law where I live for all traffic controllers to use stop slow bats, as it can be difficult to see their hands. Especially in low lighting. If they aren't using the stop slow bats, I will ignore what they want me to do and I am driving by them, I yelled out them to use their bats.

Interesting! Where I live, the “ bats/bat ” are called “paddles/paddle” and if they’re conducting traffic without it, that’s illegal and can be fined, license revoked and disciplinary action from your employer”.

I wonder how many people ignore them or are just not paying attention and blow the sign. Then I wonder if the rest of the construction workers get mad at him as though he could have some how physically stopped the car. Then I wonder how much water they drink on avg. standing in the hot sun all day. Then I wonder what the rate of skin cancer is for the average road construction worker. Then I think about thier medical covera... oh he's waving me through. OK, I'm on my way again.🤣

Progress is being made. Infrastructure is improving.
