It’s weird how when the Department of Transportation is using the bike lane, they give themselves an entire car lane for protection.

yeah I can’t imagine someone who does this for a job would carry a claw hammer. or that it would take so many people to bolt down each pylon. like I dunno maybe one or 2 to drill the holes, one to install and bond the studs, one to bolt the pylons down, and a traffic guy in each direction.
The concrete anchors are often ones you tap in first with the hammer to first set them into place. Then, you crank the bolt down, which drives out the anchor into the surrounding material. The hammer is just to get it started and fully down the bore hole.
You might also use it to align the pylon. It’s easier to tap the base gently to move it a few cm into place over the holes than to pick the whole pylon up and down while aligning it.
oh I’ve never seen that kind before
Yea honestly I would demand a 3-lb mini sledge instead of the claw hammer. Installing anchor bolts can be tough work, although I’ve never installed them in asphalt so maybe it’s easier than concrete.
@notfromhere @Grass They shouldn’t need much more than a tap I would have thought when sliding into the correctly sized hole (I wouldn’t be surprised at concrete being higher friction than asphalt when both have been drilled)
