Transcript:
We'll just have a driving complaint call up on U50 just east of Newton by Walton where they're doing a paving project and some painting of lines. Talked with someone with a construction company who advises that traffic is not waiting for pilot cars. They've had two specific incidents where inspectors almost got hit by vehicles, not waiting on pilot cars, passing around the painting truck. and they've also been messing up the lines on the road. Any unit available that can make contact or at least go over and assist? From KDOT or from somebody else? It's from somebody who's actually worked with the type in county yesterday and got no response. To clear those traffic control plans through then. Just go up there with it. They're falling the plan and they shouldn't have those issues.
