Get on the M1; 50mph; only lane 1 out of 4 open; cones everywhere.
Opens up to 4 lanes for a few miles, then lanes 1, 2 & 3 close, with more cones.
Finally get to the A38, my turn off is coned off!
Hey ho - think I’ve done 5k now since February

I maintain, some officials are on effing big back hander's (backshish) giving out these cone contracts.
Travel Europe and they are as rare as hens teeth.
SAFETY is the excuse here, utter utter BOLLOCKS.

Agreed, the excessive use of concrete separators and cones is beyond a joke. Someone said that over 400 staff are working on that intersection but I must admit don't think I have seen 20 at any one time.

I use the cones for slalom practice when riding the Xmoto.

It was tempting - but then I spotted the string tying the tops together

They would see us doing that on camera and big trouble and fines would swiftly follow. Sounds much more fun though
