Meet Bryan. A grandad. A former member of the Armed Forces.
Sometimes Bryan may slow you down for a little while. But he's there, behind the cones, to help make roads better, safer and to keep everyone moving.
Unfortunately, like many roadworkers, Brian has experienced abuse from members of the public.
Being shouted at or treated with aggression when you're simply trying to do your job is upsetting. It leaves people feeling unappreciated.
And yet, Brian isn't asking for much:
A friendly beep, a wave, a smile or someone saying "You're doing a good job. Keep up the good work" can make a real difference to his day.
Next time you pass roadworks, please remember the person behind the cones.
🧡 Slow down
🧡 Respect their safe working space
🧡 Say thank you with a smile
Every single cone matters, because every cone may be protecting a person.
