Kudos to the brave and sturdy steel beam that is doing an AWESOME job protecting that bridge from insane truck driving skills all day and night! :clap: :clap: :clap: :-+ |

This way, the trucks could go through smoothly without noticing a thing... :-DD |

Then the truck will slip and slide into the intersection anyways and crash into any number of things in the slippery water, maybe fishtailing around and hitting other cars. True, it would be a camera moment, but doesn't fix the problem. --- End quote --- Furthermore, the water curtain stop sign only works well at night. Disneyland uses similar devices on some rides and entertainment systems. It's basically a slide projector that projects an image onto a sheet of water. Notice the videos they showed of them were all done at night. Good luck projecting a nice clear contrasty image during the day. And pity the convertible owner, bicyclist, or motorcyclist who happens to be in front of the truck that triggers the waterfall. |

That's not a practical solution. --- End quote --- Main road? Port? Whaaa? It’s actually a small surface road in an old downtown, in a city that’s about 150 miles inland. Map link below. --- End quote --- Yes. On, that point, I was mistakenly recalling one of the other roads with similar bridge problems. Many similar problems exist in many, many areas, varying from very, very low to "how could you run into that," very, very tall. This particular one is nowhere near a port. You are correct. |
