A female traffic controller is bringing a bit of “sparkle” and positivity to the lives of motorists going through a roadworks zone on Brisbane’s southside.

The woman known only as Charmain works up to 10 hours a day and “waves and smiles” at drivers on Warrigal Rd between Runcorn and Eight Mile Plains.

To thank this “legend” of a woman, Reval Estate Agents managing director Adam Scott took her flowers and choclates and streamed the encounter to his Facebook page.

The video is gaining momentum and lots of southsiders have commented about the positive impact this lady is having on their lives.

Renee Zackeresen wrote “she is the bomb”. She said she wound down the window and yelled out good morning to her.

Tee Kay said she “honked at her the other day” and was thinking about giving her flowers and chocolates too but Mr Scott beat her to it.

Sian Mullins wrote: “This is amazing Adam. What a beautiful lady, and an equally beautiful gesture.”

Mr Scott told the Southern Star the traffic controller, who has been there day in, day out for the past few weeks, “makes my day”.

“She is always smiling,” Mr Scott said.

“She just made me super happy with her smiling and waving and I thought I should do something nice for her.

“She is lovely and fully deserved it.”

“There is so much negativity out there in the world — which is why it’s so good to see someone out there being nice to perfect strangers.”

Mr Scott says in the video “I’ve taken the liberty of saying thank you from me and every motorist who goes by”.

Charmain told Mr Scott she often received little thank you notes saying “there should be more people like you” but she had never received flowers and chocolates before.

“This is amazing,” she said in the video.

“I’ve got a lot of spare time while I’m standing there and everybody’s driving through and nobody likes road works.

“Everybody hates road works, so I can be a little bright spark as they go through and say thank you to everybody for their patience and kindness.

“ … It’s amazing when people smile and wave back at me.

“It is fantastic. You should see their faces light up

“I do it for a minimum of 10 hours a day.

“Every single person gets an individual wave and smile and I look each person in the eye, so they know I see them.”
