road work

we were on a bus the other day and the road work was still going on with no end in sight.  There are lights set up to allow people travelling in the opposite direction a chance to go forward.  The red light was set for 4 minutes and it seemed to last forever.  Less than 2 minutes to go.

  1. Nice then that there is a second counter.

  2. Why is it they do roadworks in busy towns and streets? My not do them somewhere else like in forests, deserts, or by the sea or on mountains where no one goes?

    God bless.

  3. I came across situations like this when I drove buses. The end results were always worth the delays.

  4. Works on the road always seem eternal. Or maybe they are. Works on the road everywhere.

  5. One sometimes just has to be patient.

  6. What's the reason for the road work? Are they going to fix some underground pipes again? I guess we have no choice but just be patient.

  7. It does take a lot of you from time to time. Progress isn't as fast as one might think. Great shot!

  8. Plenty of those lights around here too, though not with timers displayed. The job's got to be done.

  9. Hola amigo!!
    Siempre hay que salir con tiempo, por si te pasa imprevistos como estos, que te hace demorar. Aunque no es mucho 4 minutos, pero se hacen eternos si estas apurado. Paciencia.
    un beso Bill!!

  12. With such a long light, it's good that it shows a timer for the impatient driver.

  13. There is a similar process here in places where detour routes are not possible.

  14. That really is a long time to sit at a light, probably felt like an hour.

  16. Those red lights seem to take forever Bill, especially if you arrive there just as it turns red 😉

  17. These days it blows my mind when I see massive road projects which cost billions.

  18. Four minutes seems like a long time to have to wait at a light.

  19. That 4 minutes would feel really long if you didn't have that timer visible!

  20. They are adding a few restaurants on one of the cross roads that I travel almost daily and it seems to be going faster than other roads did in my area. But 4 min. lights? That seems like a long time. I may time ours because they seem very long too. Wish we had a countdown clock that that.

  21. Las obras son necesarias, pero una molestia para los que pasan por ahí.

  26. From your photo I would say that red light is never going to turn green. It's the problem of road work, it seems endless.

  31. Também passei por um lugar em obras ontem... e estive imenso tempo aguardando, que a luz autorizasse a prosseguir viagem!
    Gostei imenso da imagem, que tão bem mostrou a situação! Abraço!
