I think you are wasting your time with him, hes probably the type of mot tester who would fail a non functioning number plate bulb instead of just replacing it.

I cannot believe he is telling me that I am wrong. OMG it is quite frightening to think he actually believes that he knows better than a well groomed highways pro.

I'm not joining this conflict, just genuinely curious as to how these relate

Here's what you need to know:

• Parking for short periods is permissible: National Highways vehicles, including those used for street light repairs, are generally permitted to park on pathways for short durations, such as 15 minutes or less. This is considered a necessary part of their job and is not illegal, as long as the vehicle is not obstructing the path or causing a safety hazard.

Key Conditions
Temporary footway obstructions without formal barriers are permitted under certain conditions:

• The obstruction must be limited to 15 minutes in every full hour and only for as long as necessary.

because the first one says you may not "obstruct", not even for "15 minutes or less", and the second one says you may have an "obstruction" for up to 15 minutes in any hour.

The rules is (sic) the rules. They are published you know.

Just imagine if a blind person injured themselves during your 15 minutes

I'd just run off

H man would rub them down with an oily rag, then run off.

Exactly that. I can get away with it. My looks got me to where I am today. You may think of me as a super highway.

Every scenario is different. The rules we abide to are variable dependant on the speed of the road. The width of the road, the width of the footpath even the location of the light itself. It may be safer to actually hold up a footpath or road than to direct people onto a road with temporary barriers. The danger and risk is up to the engineer to determine and our decision is final. We sometimes have no choice but to block a path or road completely as it may be single carriageway or the path may be too narrow and the road may be fast moving heavy traffic in which case we have no choice and the repair goes ahead. If we need more time we then employ our traffic management. In most cases we just assess the job and make the decision. In the event of a light in a dangerous condition in risk of falling over or it has become live we will block a road or footpath regardless as it has become an emergency.
