Signs go up a kilometre before where the workers are. Speed limits are lowered. All for the safety of the worker. The outside lane(s) is(are) done first, progressing to the centre.

In Africa. The lane being worked on is closed, no signs go up, the speed limit stays the same. Cars whiz by as the workers relay the middle lane of a 6 lane highway, while the outside lanes remain untouched. The new tar well above the level of the old lanes, so as cars switch lanes it's as if they are mounting the curb.

Anyone who as spent time in Africa fells this vibe, this aura, it's intoxicating. You feel alive, at home, in touch with everything. It's truly astounding. And when you leave you miss it. The way they do things, the way they talk, the intangible beauty of the continent.
.... Pathetic, man. That sounds insulting, I know, but this post is just... nonsense... on so many different levels.
