1. Bridge
Bridges are critical and sensitive road structures, so specific traffic rules are enforced to ensure safety, stability, and smooth traffic flow. Bridges have limited space, structural limits, and unique risks (wind, congestion, accidents). Following these rules keeps everyone safe and prevents damage to the bridge.
- Obey Speed Limits - Speed is often lower on bridges due to narrow lanes, curves, or structural limits.
- No Overtaking - Do not overtake or change lanes while on a bridge unless explicitly allowed.
- No Stopping or Parking - Stopping, standing, or parking on a bridge is strictly prohibited, except in emergencies.
- Obey Weight Limits - Heavy vehicles must follow maximum weight restrictions to prevent damage to the bridge structure.
- Use Designated Lane - Follow lane markings. Some bridges may have special lanes for bicycles, pedestrians, or emergency vehicles.
- No U-Turns or Reversing - U-turns and reversing on a bridge are usually not allowed and can cause accidents.
- Watch for Crosswinds - Pay attention to wind warning signs on high or open bridges.
- Follow Traffic Signals & Barriers - At railway or movable bridges (drawbridges), stop when barriers are down or signals are red.
