Wash Out

Is that like “Bridge Out?” As in the wash has broken down, so isn’t safe for the water to cross? How is the water supposed to read the sign?

“Wash out” can also be used for a failed project, so I think it’s funnier if a construction crew just gave up and labeled it as such.

You guys are funny…
The ‘Wash Out’ at a construction site is usually for concrete trucks. They need to ‘wash out’ their chutes of excess concrete after they finish pouring.
The developer has to clean up the jobsite and old concrete can be hard - excuse the pun. So one spot makes it alot easier than a bunch of little spots.
The law in Texas is that a concrete truck MUST wash out on the property that he poured at - unless there is a ‘Wash Out’ for this specific purpose.

Ah, that makes sense. I expect most of them aren’t in front of actual washes!
Thanks!
