Hard to tell from the video, but it doesn’t seem likely that the trucker is at fault here. The work crew seems to be trying to cheat and avoid lane closures, but they’re operating the bucket too low for that. There’s probably a middle manager somewhere who decided that lane closures were too expensive and unnecessary, standard procedure be damned. People forget safety rules are written in blood.
Yeah, my entire thought process was “why isn’t that lane closed? It should be closed if they’re working under the height of the traffic ligh- oh there’s the truck and this is why the video was posted… At least he was clipped in so he didn’t fall.”
