Kind of off the wall response..

Beside building racecars for the last 25 years... I've had to supplement my income sometimes...

I'm a engineer, civil.. but working on bridges around Manhattan..

I worked with a contractor who used to place one or two concrete filled traffic cones for the lane closure..

Invariably, someone who is so upset... when there is a lane closed, they will knock the cones over...

They then strike the concrete filled cone and damage is done to there car..

The offending cone is removed when the crew resets the cones...

BTW I have no problem with this contractors methods..

I work in these lane closures... and it can be very dangerous.. especially when some people het upset and come into the lane we are working in...
