Road crews leaving plastic clutter behind

I drive a lot, and occasionally see a plastic bag dangling from something. During those same trips, I have noticed much more plastic in road construction traffic cones and the orange warning lights on the saw-horses. So, the same governments that are limiting our freedom of choice in packaging are polluting our sightlines with plastic items. Perhaps, future street/road contracts could include a provision that the crews could clean up plastic and all other litter, at no additional cost to taxpayers.
