It's a frustrating experience, being stuck in traffic because of roadworks.
Makes you want to do all types of horrible things, although it can be a challenge deducing who to do the horrible things to. In the absence of an obvious target, it's often the local council that cops it.
Even when it's not a council project - such as, for example, the state highway intersection at Maunu.
The roadworks there have delayed motorists several times, and, yesterday, the timing couldn't have been worse, given what happened on Monday over on the other side of Whangarei at Onerahi.
What made Monday worse, was the glorious weather that people who lived on the coast were trying to get home to, to enjoy. Instead, drivers and their passengers became the main ingredients in an angry stew, simmering away inside their pressure cooker cars, the windows down letting the steam out.
