How to Drive Over an Overpass Bridge?
2 Answers
Vehicles going straight in all directions should follow their original route and pass straight through either over or under the bridge. For vehicles turning right, activate the right turn signal, keep to the right as indicated by road signs, turn right at the first intersection near the bridge, and proceed straight. Activate the turn signal, follow the signs to enter the ramp on the right, make a 180-degree right turn, then turn left along the right side of the loop before proceeding straight. For driving under the bridge, follow the direction indicated by road signs, circle the loop once, and then return to the original route.
I always drive with extra caution when crossing overpasses. When I first started driving, I was even afraid of getting lost. The key is to slow down properly - reduce speed to around 40-50 km/h before ascending and maintain steady control. Keep your eyes on road signs without distraction, planning your exit in advance as missing it would be troublesome. Remember to hold the steering wheel firmly when turning, avoiding sudden steering especially at the bridge crest where vehicle body roll is more likely. In bad weather like rain, I reduce speed to 30 km/h for greater caution since bridge surfaces become slippery first, preventing rear-end collisions. During rush hours morning and evening when the bridge is crowded, I maintain a distance of two to three car lengths without following too closely. Listening to music or navigation voice prompts helps maintain focus - avoid distracting conversations or phone use. Beginners should remember to practice slowly several times until accustomed - safety comes first. Additionally, wind is stronger on elevated sections so I keep both hands on the wheel to prevent drifting, never changing lanes hastily but signaling and confirming safety first before maneuvering.
