You are correct about some of what you say, but, around here most details today are 7-8 hours with construction crews excavating and putting in new sewer lines etc:. What is that cop usually doing, on the cell phone, drinking coffee, looking in the hole or bullsh-ting with the worker, that is why some get hit by an oncoming car.
What gets me is the city says it is a safety issue. The cop that goes on his regular 4-midnight shift leaves the road construction 3-3:30 and no cop takes his place. Where is the safety issue when the work goes on to 5 PM.
