Some people might think that I love road works with all the road cones, big trucks and stop’n’go men.
I do, sort of. It is a sign that things are being repaired. There is a great website to help you get around the city and suburbs. With a bit of planning, you should be able to get to where you want to go without too much difficulty.
What I don’t like is being detoured down streets I have never been down and sent off in a direction I don’t want to travel in. When I find I’m speeding down the road at a top speed of 20 km/h, I try not to stress over the fact that I’m going to be late. Sometimes, no matter what road I go down, I get stuck in a slow line of traffic, going the wrong way.
My solution is talking books. I get to hear quite a few on my way to work. At the moment, it’s Three Men in a Boat, but I have listened to Agatha Christie and Torchwood.
When you are delayed by road works, what do you listen to?
P.S. Not enough road works in your life? CTV have turned our road cones into an entertaining short film.
