My street is an L, with one end going past a petrol station. Because the council are doing some work on the main road nearby, they have closed off the end of our street that is by the petrol station (to stop people cutting off the bit with the temporary traffic lights).
Started off with cones, which got moved after half an hour. Then cones with tape across. Now it is those water filled barriers, with a couple of vans parked next to them.
There are lots of signs to say the street is closed but people keep bombing past them then brake sharply when they see the barrier. Then they do a dodgy manoeuvre (reversing round the corner at speed) which makes me crazy.
