Going through my pictures I noticed this from our trip in July, in a Michigan highway rest area.
They left out the chiropractor the instrument operator will need.
Yikes!
My greatest fear as an ODOT survey crew supervisor was that someone wouldn't come home that day.
Thanks for sharing...
Notably a women is surveying, which you almost never see. Of all the roles depicted that is the least likely to be filled by a female, I think.?ÿ ?ÿThe engineer holding the plans might well be the most likely.
My non-comprehensive observation from driving past road work is that the most likely job to be filled by a woman is operating the stop/slow sign. Engineer might be second.
Don't get me started with the sawhorse style barricade, the tiny traffic cone, the comically out of plumb dumpy level - all a couple of generations out of date even in 1994. Then there is the Instrument operators hand on the tripod.?ÿ ?ÿOh, well. So it goes in the art world.

When I was a kid in the 1960's these things filled the role that LED flashers do now on the roadway worksite. Seems so silly now.
In the 1960's they were competing with a whole lot less light from other sources on and off the road.
But if you put one of those out now, the bomb squad would get called.
