The Orange Cone Plague

Raise your hand if you hate road construction. Ok, you can put them down now; I can’t really see them anyway. Has anyone noticed how many road projects are going on this year? It seems like on every major roadway you see orange cones popping up.

What would make things a lot better is if they would have spaced it out a little. Since more major roads have the orange cone plague it’s hard to find fast alternate routes. What’s even worse is when you do find one, the next week, you guessed it, orange cones.

I checked out the PENNdot website looking for a map that showed the roadwork. To my surprise they really do have a map. You can check it out here. Since it is run by the state I can’t imagine it being updated regularly, but at least it’s something.

I am done ranting about roadwork for now. Maybe with this new found information (the map), the alternate routes I do find will stay cone free. Also, this winter you can look forward to a rant on potholes. They claimed the life of my tires twice last year.
