Construction on 50

EDITOR:

Do the construction workers really have to communicate with each other via Morse on their vehicle horns at midnight? And if it’s “not them” shouldn’t the law enforcement be doing more to keep people on the road from disrupting?

    It's really hard to deal with all the debris being left all over the road, it kicks up and chips windows and the paint job on vehicles. We spend so much to have a vehicle and to have it chipped and dinged like this, I feel that Caltrans should have a funds to repair the vehicles it damages.

    From years back all heavy equipment have back up horns from trucks to loaders. I assure you they are not communicate with each other via Morse code. Would be happier if the work was done durning the day and really block traffic, I think not! You just can't make anybody happy! You whine when the highway needs repair. Whine when a wildlife tunnel is installed. You whine when the highway construction is on going. You whine at the cost and where the money shouldn't be spent. And when it's done you continue to whine about the whip off from the new asphalt. Marie just how many chips do you get in your car? How many chips did you get in your windows? Have you turn these problems into Caltrans? They do have funds for these repairs. One day of normal traffic operation the whip off will be gone. The contractor for Caltrans has street sweepers on site. They are being used. A small bit of whip off new a new asphalt overlay is unavoidable.
