Public purse
The excuse for more speed cameras is "It's for road safety" even when the areas targeted are more often for revenue raising
Traffic control at roadworks, (any work,)is going the same way.
The cost of the Sutherland to Cronulla rail line duplication has gone from $106 million to $231 million (and counting) and is years behind schedule.
There are numerous access points all along the line.
As well as an abundance of warning signs, and witches hats there are also stop/go paddle men.
When I drive onto the road when I go to work, I have to make sure the coast is clear... all by myself.
How much is this so called "traffic control" rort costing?
No it wasn't lunchtime.

and it's not lunchtime outside Sylvania High in Bellingara rd at Miranda.
either.
I did some work at Frank Vickery Village on Wednesday, up the road parked near lots of witches hats and roadwork sign was a traffic control truck and on board two green clad blokes resting till the signs etc needed to be retrieved at the end of the day.
I drove past today, Fri 11.30 and this van( pictured below) was parked with it's compliment of two safety green clad workers resting on board.
O, H and S has it's place for worker safety of course, but is this a case of overdoing it a bit and is it safety or an expensive overservicing?
Siesta at Sylvania.

Last November I posted this.....
I have a couple more questions,
Why on Oak road by the Kirrawee Raiway Station on Tuesday morning, were there 3 green safety vested traffic controllers on a 25 meter section of well signposted "one way" section of road?
This piece of roadway has been one way for months, not alternating, but one way..
This is O,H and S gone mad, and at what cost?
Why has the cost of the Rail Duplication project gone up from
$106 million to $341 million and is 2 years behind schedule?
What's the big deal with three men looking after traffic?
No big deal in isolation, but extrapolate this excess all over the network and then add up the cost.

Traffic Control a growth industry?
This truck I spotted in Peakhurst and they could be importing stop/go men from Queensland going by the license plates.
