When you are under a highway overpass like the one above, it is hard to believe there are 6 lanes of traffic overhead like the one below.
When you are driving on the highway, it seems very wide and you don't even realize when you are going over a bridge (overpass). But if you were to go under the overpass and look up, you would be surprised how narrow tha strip actually is.
Bored was ya?
They put a support column in the middle of a street?
Won’t help. You do not want to be underneath that structure during an earthquake.
Or driving on top of it either.
High or low, everyone has the right to try to get to where they’re going.
Absolutely, I remember it from early childhood. But think about it, if your eyes are 5’6” off the ground and you’re on a 12 foot overpass, then when you look up, it’s only 6.5 feet above you. But if you’re up there, then the ground looks 17.5 fee below you. Same overpass, but vastly DIFFERENT perspectives.
dont think its a street. Cars parked facing both directions probably belong too workers
Why isn’t this in Breaking News?
Shouldn’t drink and drive....
yeah, that would make it breaking news

Maybe because it’s a different bridge?
The white stripes on Interstate highways don't look that long.
I got a dollar that says they are at least ten feet long.
*Construction/destruction zones excluded.
Above there is the openness of the road without the supports.
It's perception.
Underneath it's smaller confined space. Above, it's the vista of the road and the sky.
I thought they were dots.
Now the boys all thought I'd lost my sense,
Them telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said "slow down, I see spots,"
The lines on the road just looked like dots.
Good call.
That’s why I provided the handy link!
Perhaps because when you’re passing under it, you’re going perpendicular to the lanes that you’re used to staying within when you’re driving on it?
Nice pretty new sidewalk alongside that ‘not-a-street’.
