Marlow bridge width restrictions

[bluesatin]

I can understand the need to limit width and weight to preserve the bridge but they could have come up with something that does not damage every law abiding cars rims as they travel through the restrictions!

Thank god the rim protectors stopped any damage to my car but this is going to upset a lot of 4X4 owners!

Yes! Bloody great big metal bells!

Too narrow for the Ultima!

Just been through them and interesting angle leaving the bridge towards Bisham. Signs that people have hit them already. Won't be long before a serious accident when somebody goes too fast and hits one of them. It would have been so easy to just use the sensible option and get the police to do this novel idea of policing!

It is the weight limit which i totally agree with. I was standing in the middle of the bridge years ago when an oil tanker went over and the bridge bowed in the middle! I just think the design is bad and a better solution could have been used.

A contractor at work mentioned he ripped the edge of the rear tyre (Porker 997s) last night on the bridge! Not happy as the tyre is 1 month old!
