sad part is, ive driven over HUNDREDS of bridges with signs that say that. It should be common knowledge.
squirrelgirl86
I imagine in places where it doesn't get icy that often, they don't have the signs.
TheWeebleWobler
I don't think that is ice my friend. Looks more like hydroplaning from too much standing water.
very possible, I'm just speaking to what I know :) Black ice on bridges on a cold clear day is a bitch. So I assumed that could be it.
JakeFromStateFahrm
Number 4 tears the ice away from the road I think when it slides sideways. I went back to see if I could find any clues.
Either way, you would think people who drive trucks for a living would actually know how to drive.

Lucky none of them went over the rail....

One of the most expensive elements in bridge building is those armco barriers.

Here's a raise for literally doing your regular day job as an engineer.
AlpacaMyBagsAndGoNow
Do you tip servers or bartenders? Same thing.
If you get the drink order wrong, people don't die. So yeah not really the same thing. You don't tip a surgeon for not killing you.
HalloIamherenow
I mean, yeah? If you do good work you should get paid good money
No it's more like if you engineer something that doesn't perform you lose your license and career and get personally sued
Por que no los dos? Use the carrot and the stick
cutteroo
Armco barriers. Absolute genius design.
tonality
Lol what?! Arent Armcos designed to crumple and give way? There's no way those are armco barriers, every one of those trucks would be flying
Apologies if I was mistaken however my understanding of Armco barriers is that they absorb the impact energy and dent but don’t give way.

BRIDGE ICES BEFORE ROAD
IdiotSavantTinker
This looks like a case where the road wasn't frozen yet, but the bridge was?
BrainTaffy
Daemon7777
Which would make perfect sense because it is much more windy there. If the air temperature is lower than the ground this would be the result
I would expect
jamesjjw
Well it's also that a bridge has more surface area to cool down with compared to the ground
ChloeRed
And less thermal mass to cool.
Feralkyn
Wind doesn't actually make it colder (just feels it) afaik? BUT the lack of insulation from the underlying earth (which the road has, and a
bridge does not) may well be an issue
That is correct bzt I assumed that the air is colder than the road which is where your point come into play.

jursamaj
I mean, it happens everywhere, because people are idiots.
Wankathon
Only have bad drivers in China huh
Literally didn't say that Mr Strawman.
GenStrike
That seems pretty fuckin' racist dude.
1/2 Annually, road deaths in China are 188/mill. The US is 129/mill and the UK is 29/mill.
2/2 This suggests China has shit drivers, shit roads, or shit emergency services, or some combinations of all three. Is the data racist?
Jeez the us isn't far behind. What's India

Yeah, it's all sped up, they aren't actually driving that fast, but black ice is a bitch.
