This time, Durbanites were left laughing out loud after noticing a new member of the road construction team. If you have passed by the road construction on the N2 and N3 freeways, you might have noticed a mechanical flagman warning motorists to slow down.
The flagman is stationed near the concrete barriers and has a smile on his dial waving his red flag.

What’s confusing is that despite the mechanical flagman, there’s also a flagwoman waving a red flag just a few metres ahead of him.
Many laughed over the inclusion of the mechanical flagman. You could even say that this is the South African version of robotics replacing people’s jobs…
Well, not entirely, considering the flag woman still does it despite her robot colleague’s presence.
