Anybody have any ideas in this?

Accidents happen no matter how many precautions are taken......

Three or four years ago A friend and his wife were slowed down to about 15 MPH in a work zone when they were rear ended by a pickup truck doing freeway speed and never saw the work signs or the stopped traffic ahead of him. While my friend survived, his wife was killed instantly......

My sympathies. Your post gave me an idea. Why not put portable speed bumps across the road ahead of the workers? Put one maybe 30 feet after the first “Reduce speed” sign. Put another one further down the line. That would hopefully alert distracted drivers. Whadda'ya think?

Oh, and I looked it up. Portable speed bumps do exist.
