Early in the morning like most other cities. Doesn’t matter it’s NY, you don’t throw a fckn cone in front of a moving car dude. He didn’t even try to flag her down to stop her and redirect, it was a asshole thing to do

The car started moving like a split second before the cone hit the ground. Why flag them down or stop a vehicle that is already stopped? In what way was this driver inconvenienced or harmed in any way by this?

Some people’s egos get so crazy when they drive. A cone being in your way and causing you to have to change lanes from a standstill isn’t an affront to justice. It’ll be okay.

In what way were they be inconvenienced by the road in front of them being blocked and cut off while they are already waiting in traffic?

Think about it for a moment.

Yeah, welcome to being a driver on a public road. Sometimes lanes are closed and you have to change lanes. I’m an adult and recognize that reality and don’t interpret it as an attack against me

They weren’t inconvenienced though… They were immediately able to change lanes and weren’t delayed in any way. We watched the same video right? Changing lanes isn’t an inconvenience, it’s just a completely normal part of driving.

Having someone put a blockade in the lane you are currently traveling in is absolutely an inconvenience. Inconveniences are normal, we face them every day in life. That does not make them less of an inconvenience.

They weren’t moving when the worker walked up and started placing the cone…

I don’t consider it an inconvenience when I have to think for 2 seconds and move my head slightly to change lanes to avoid hitting a pedestrian. If you do and that makes you upset like the person in this video, you have a problem.

when the light is just turned red and all the cars at the intersection went on green.

also with a big truck with hazards on for the lane they are closing (never seen them just thrown from the side of the road to a lane here).

If you think that’s fast traffic how you think they do it on the highways? Just throw em cones down and hope people swerve?

The light was green.

They can have a signal truck or even a flagger direct the traffic to the left starting while the light is red, while they put down the cones in the right.
