Various Lane Closures, Whack-A-Mole

Driving through Fort Worth, Texas on I-35w, there is considerable road construction. Scattered through this construction there a bunch of those text-messaging-devices that are immune from the Texas Department of Public Safety laws prohibiting texting while driving and especially texting or even using your phone in a construction zone. They say something like,

No Texting while driving

or

This is a no phone zone

and inform you that in the construction zone fines are particularly heavy.

One particularly not-so-helpful sign said,

Various lane closures at 9 pm

so that the reader would know that at 9pm that some portion of I-35w was going to become the vehicular version of Whac-A-Mole.

Ever the traveler, your grumpy Uncle Dave.
