Commuters: Do you feel that road work and roadside tree trimming should be done after 10:00 a.m., when possible, in order to help reduce traffic jams?

When I’m driving to work and come upon a traffic jam due to road construction work or roadside tree trimming, I always think why can’t they start this work after 10:00 a.m., when most cars should already have arrived at work?

I know there are going to always be emergencies when work has to be done at any time of day or night. I am not referring to those occasions, I am referring to work that can be planned in advance.

This thought occurs to me when the weather gets nice and road work and roadside tree trimming starts.

I know it might involve workers starting later and ending later (maybe that would be written into the contract) but this thought always comes to me when the weather gets nice and the huge jams start.

Maybe it’s because I live in a fairly busy metropolitan area, I don’t know. Maybe this is not so much of an issue in small towns and rural areas.
