👋
I am one of those people working on the side of the road, with my truck lights flashing, wearing safety gear, everything. The last two days I’ve been working exclusively in the Omaha area, both urban and outlying rural areas. Please, if you see people working on the side of the road - or anyone or a car for that matter - please, if safe to do so, move over to give us space. It’s an incredibly dangerous job working so close to roads, especially when a semi flys by at 70 and riding the white line. I have experienced and unusual uptick of people not moving over for safety, honking at us, all sorts of inconsiderate behavior. We’re just doing our jobs, be nicer, Omaha. People die every year who work near/alongside roads, even here in Nebraska. Save a life, scoot over and slow down if you can’t scoot over. Thanks!
