Why are road lanes coned off when there's no-one actually working there?

There's nothing worse than getting stuck in a long queue of cars due to road works, only to drive through them and not see a soul working there. You might ask yourself the question, 'where are they all and why have I been delayed, apparently for no reason'.

To help answer that common query, Traffic Wales, the Welsh Government's traffic information service for the motorway and trunk road network has set out to clear up the mystery. To get the latest WalesOnline newsletters emailed to you directly for free click here.
