I know where you're coming from, but the white line thing is all about Health and Safety and the proper Safety Legislation - we work to it, the French don't.
Having been involved when it went wrong on a site (numpty driver who the police threw the book at) and had colleagues seriously hurt, I'd support the delays and hold-ups every day of the week. We have to protect our workers from the idiots out there. Every time I ride or drive in France and the rest of mainland Europe, I'm appalled at the state of roadwork traffic controls - presumably they think that the risk To their workers is less if they finish the work quickly, so they needn't bother with proper traffic control.
And the idiot drivers are not necessarily the ones who break speed limits, but those texting, driving after drinking or on dope, combing their hair and looking in the mirror, getting their burger from the passenger seat...........oh yeah, speeding on a motorway is much more dangerous than any of these.
