Seriously - you need more workers. You need two standing around for every one that is working Goldth . And cops. Around here when I see highway construction (especially on main highways), there is often a highway patrol car at each end of the construction zone with lights flashing to warn traffic. I remember being on a business trip one week and having my hotel in one town and the job in a town 60 miles away. In between was a crew doing re-paving. A highway patrolman was warning traffic at both ends of the construction zone. When I drove by every morning I saw him sitting in his car eating his doughnut and drinking his coffee (I kid you not!). For large construction projects, we have signs that inform people what the project is and how much they have completed. Flashing arrow signs are also common when there is a lane change (I assume someone makes those in HO ???)

Thanks Kevin!! Misngth Misngth

This scene will be flooded with construction workers once I get farther along with it. I havnt placed any out yet because I dont want to keep knocking them over and they will just be in the way LOL

A cop on each side of the construction site is a neat idea. Ill have to see if I can find a cop on a motorcycle and then another in a squad car to place on each end of the module. Anyone know if anyone makes a cop on a motorcycle?

There is a complany that makes the large trailer signs with the flashing arrows, and I believe they even light up and there is one you can buy that says a few different things having do with constructions. I havnt bought any of them because in my opinion they look kinda cheesy and dont really look much like the ones I see around here. Maybe ill get on of them and take a closer look at them lol
