Scary bridges

New Zealand is good at scary bridges. One Lane Bridges* abound, even on the busiest highways. However, this bridge really took the biscuit...



This wooden single lane bridge on the main road down the west coast of South Island was shared with the main west coast railway line...

*I never really worked out the rule that defined which side got the stop sign. My best guess was that it was the side with the least visibility of the oncoming traffic...

If you have the white arrow going in the same direction as you, you have the right of way. If you have the red arrow, give way until the bridge is clear.

My brother said he was asked recently by a Brit how NZ managed to fund roading and such throughout the country when the population was only four million. Well, there's his answer!
