I have a simple suggestion for road work crews:  Don't start working until after 9am, and stop before 4pm.  I don't know if you're aware of this, but other people have jobs too.  And it turns out that these jobs are usually a non-zero distance from each person's home.  Hence the invention of the word "commute".  What might also come as a surprise is the fact that a lot of people work during the day, and more specifically sometime between the hours of 8am and 5pm.  So by digging up roads and closing others down, you're totally screwing up my entire life, you bunch of orange-clothed, asphalt-scented idiots.
