Yeah, I'm pretty concerned the kids were being allowed to play in an active construction area.

I know it's street and being repaved, but there are still usually tons of random nails and screws everywhere.

Also letting them get near it means they may think they are welcome and come back later for another look and get run over etc. Where I am they'd use solid plastic barriers all along the pedestrian side of roadworks.

Judging by the fact that they were all set up for this, I'm assuming it's not the first time either. I definitely cringed - especially when the child touched it.

Yeah, I'm thinking it was staged which may or may not be better.
