Some columns are easier to write than others. This one has had several false starts. I attribute this, in part, to the overload of information that I accumulated at Traffex. If you have had one or two Traffex events under your belt you know the pleasure of catching up with colleagues, customers and mates, often with one person fitting, at some point in your or their career, all three categories. Gossip and news and ideas are exchanged. Opportunities emerge, projects crystallise, and the challenge over the coming weeks is to act on these. If you have not yet attended (you are probably new to the industry) I can only commend it to you most warmly. The community of traffic control, ITS and signing, marking, structures, and many others are represented whether on the stands or walking the aisles. I saw lots of interesting products, met keen enthusiasm, passion even from people who enjoy delivering products and services or who share concerns and explore solutions.
